"Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie are two of the twenty people named to President Barack Obama's new President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, or PCAST." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

It would be interesting to hear what they agree and disagree on. - Cristo

Sridhar's reaction to this: "Oh, did Mundie change his glasses?" - Gabor Cselle

ironically, he will probably win a judgment of millions of dollars, and then his former classmates really *will* be looking for him :-D - Karim

McCain looking not at all Presidential - Mike Doeff from Bookmarklet

Dude, I missed the debate...Did someone slip a Micky in McCain's water or something? From all these pictures, it looks like we was high on Ex or something.... - Live4Emma (L4S)

"Bandiera and her colleagues proposed a different way of adjusting the piece rate: Managers would test-pick the field to see how difficult it was and set the rate accordingly, thus preventing the workers from engaging in a collective go-slow. (If the managers made a mistake in their estimate, and the pickers didn't earn minimum wage, Farmer Smith would make up the shortfall with an extra payment. This rarely happened.) The economists measured the result. By the time the experiment was over, Farmer Smith's initial skepticism had long evaporated: The new pay scheme increased productivity (kilograms of fruit per worker per hour) by about 50 percent." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

"The incomes of most Americans have stalled." - Atul Arora from Bookmarklet

Here's an Economist article highlighting some recent research on income inequality in the US: http://www.economist.com/finance... - Steve Weis

world about to end! yay! - Ivan Pope from twhirl

Aw, yeah! That's a way to stick it to the MAN! *high five* - dkb from Alert Thingy

Down with dopes. - Mike Doeff

yeah, but we still like you even if you are a dope, welcome to the "coolest dope crowd ever" group, umm, maybe we should make this a friend feed connection? LOL! :-) - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

ZOMG Dave Winer just linked to me! - Yuvi

i've just been waiting for tmobile to get these. the only reason i haven't gotten an iphone yet. - Lynne d Johnson

Here's the issue that will make it hard for them to compete with the iPhone - iTunes. People want an all-in-one device that includes video and music. iTunes has very much become the defacto standard for this due to the powerful store they provide. Unless Android provides an alternative, they can't succeed, since it will not work with iTunes. - Jesse Stay

Dave - what's going on here: the neocons have long plotted to establish American military bases in the Mideast -- not just Iraq -- for virtually forever. They were never interested in merely winning a conventional victory in Iraq. Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are also on their target list. Their deceptive public rhetoric is completely disjunct from their internal writings, which expose the real agenda. - Sean McBride

@Sean McBride: "circumscribe and narrow our vision of the big picture in discussing the war -- that's how all con games work." exactly. the sad thing is that the mainstream media (or at least the powerful people that run them) seem to be heavily influenced by these con games too. that said, i hope Obama would stick it to Bush/McCain when it comes to debating the Iraq war by taking it back to first principles. Bugliosi is right. there are lots of talk but he's someone *doing* something about it. - ~C4Chaos

That's likely to get me some lame BS flame mail from Mac zealots. But they will be wrong. Windows is much more macho, in this one dimension. - Dave Winer

"Last week academics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, published research showing that overweight mothers produce offspring who become even heavier, resulting in the spread of obesity across the generations. “There is a worldwide obesity epidemic,” said Robert Waterland, a professor of paediatrics who led the study. “Why is everyone getting heavier and heavier? One hypothesis is that maternal obesity before and during pregnancy causes epigenetic changes in the ways genes are expressed.” Waterland’s research was done in mice for ethical reasons but population studies have suggested similar effects in humans. Marcus Pembrey of the Institute of Child Health at University College London identified 166 fathers who admitted smoking before they were aged 11, and whose sons had a sharply elevated risk of obesity. The implication was that smoking had altered the way their genes worked without actually changing the genes. In another study Pembrey and colleagues analysed records of an isolated Swedi" - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"Waterland and his colleagues studied the effect of maternal obesity in three generations of genetically identical mice, all with the same genetic tendency to overeat. One group of mice received a standard diet; the other a diet supplemented with the nutrients folic acid, vitamin B12, betaine and choline. The special 'methyl supplemented' diet enhances DNA methylation, a chemical... more... - Raymond

There was a short history of Singapore on tv the other night. It's pretty interesting, and rather amazing how much impact some people were able to have. - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

So flip for it: who was more important for Singapore, Raffles, or Lee Kwan Yu? - Chris DeSalvo

The most interesting thing here is that Scoble "liked" this ;-) - Brian Sullivan

Eddie - Can't agree more, but this is just one of the many missteps that appears to have happened. Roberts level of transparency on the topic gives us a great opportunity into what can go wrong in a start-up. The core issue appears to be a lack of leadership at many levels. If an honest post-mortem can be written it will surely benefit anyone looking to build their own startup. - Jim McCusker

You entertain your internet friends :D - Bukola

What, like a most frequently blocked list? Interesting idea. I actually think some might strive to make such a list. - AJ Kohn

We'll need something eventually. The spammers are going to start spamming friend requests soon enough. I've already had to deal with spam on twitter, and I have very few people I'm following. - Mr. Gunn

First day at our start-up :) - Bindu Reddy

Best of luck!! - Brian White
