Did you actually read the blog post? It's rife with blatant grammatical errors.
Awful use of conjuctions and a bizarre obsession with commas plus errors that a spellchecker will miss (eg. "roughly out 9 out of 10 applicants" under the method section.)
Apparently you wouldn't hire the author, and she wouldn't hire herself.
I'm not sure the meteor hit the zinc plant. Considering how loud the sonic booms were it's possible that they caused enough structural damage to an old brick building to result in a partial collapse.
I wish we had more information.
Edit: on second thought, it could easily be a fragment, we'll see.
Their is a continuum between dance music and mainstream pop music in Europe in the same way their is for hip hop in the states. So it's not unusual for it to be played on standard pop radio stations.
Hey Gibbon -- I'm not sure what catamaran you were looking at, but the America's Cup boats are actually even LARGER than that ...
The AC45 (the boat being used in current cup events while the larger AC72's are being designed and built) uses a 21.5m (71ft) wing ... and the boats that will be used in the actual Cup (the AC72) are even larger beasts -- a wing 40m (131ft) tall [1].
The design of and technology going into these AC class boats is fascinating. It's been a lot of fun watching the AC45's race and the AC72's will be quite a sight out on the water once they begin pushing 'em to their limits.
In order the most patents were awarded to IBM, Samsung, Canon, Panasonic, Toshiba and Microsoft. So Samsung is no. 2, while Apple is all the way down in 38th place.
If anything, I'm willing to bet that Samsung and the other Asian manufacturers are the overzealous ones trying to use patents to muscle their way into the higher end of the technology market.
More patents are now awarded to foreign countries than the USA. Mostly Japan, Korea, Germany and Taiwan.
If you think Apple is on the wrong end of the argument, well I guess you don't want a domestic technology market?
What's more, the South Korean government (owned by Samsung) has been blocking and putting up barriers to foreign phones for years, including delaying the introduction of the original iPhone to South Korea, to give Samsung and co. a chance to develop competitors.
I think he just loves the product. Based on some of his recent interviews, Twitter is something he's been thinking about a long time and is based on things he's worked on his whole life (dispatch, maps, cities, networks etc.)
Interesting article. I'm basically a socialist and see everything through a Marxist lens, but it seems like everyone loses-- rich and poor-- when money is such a dominating factor in peoples' lives. Living in a stratified, money-centered society sucks no matter who or where you are.
What we should do is make society more like college, where people have a lot of choice in what they work on, and where successful people help the less successful people but one's level of success isn't seen as an important thing about oneself. I was "successful" in college (3.9 math major) and it wouldn't have been weird or awkward to sit at the same table as someone with a 2.7. I didn't even know what my friends' GPAs were, and I didn't care when I did know. Yet we live in a world where most people don't even have a single friend outside of their social class.
