"Within days of the March low, Jeremy published "Reinvesting While Terrified," in which he observed that it was time to bet the farm. He soon called for a stimulus-fueled rally that would take the S&P 500 to 1000-1100, which is where we are now. He also laid out his expectation that the market would then move sideways for 7 years. Well, we've hit the high of Jeremy's sucker's rally prediction. Stocks are now once again significantly overvalued (Jeremy puts the overvaluation at 25%, with fair value on the S&P 500 at 860). He thinks the market can go a bit higher but that it will break down next year. He's looking for a "painful" pullback of at least 20%. A new low is not likely, but not out of the question." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

We'll see. Tops are much tougher to predict than bottoms. There are many people calling for a major sell-off here, which means it probably won't happen. - Rob Hoeting

Would this have anything to do with the Google Chrome OS? Could they be doing this open sauciness to make the technology read for third party developers? - Johnny Worthington

Johnny, I doubt the 2 are correlated, but it is interesting that both Google and Facebook released big Javascript APIs as open source in the same week. Regardless, it's always nice to see companies opening up more, something Google has been known for doing quite awhile now. - Jesse Stay

This is pretty cool. - Bastian

"Google strives to hire "the world's best engineers,"and has crafted an "interminable" interview process dotted with puzzles and brainteasers to do so. One little problem: the process tends to give the worst scores to the best future employees." - Atul Arora from Bookmarklet

"I don't know what I see when I watch football. It must be something insane, because I should not enjoy it as much as I do. I must be seeing something so personal and so universal that understanding this question would tell me everything I need to know about who I am, and maybe I don't want that to happen. But perhaps it's simply this: Football allows the intellectual part of my brain to evolve, but it allows the emotional part to remain unchanged. It has a liberal cerebellum and a reactionary heart. And this is all I want from everything, all the time, always." - Ana from Bookmarklet

"Bliss is the name of a BMP image produced from a photograph of a landscape in Sonoma County, California, southeast of Sonoma Valley near the site of the old Clover Stornetta Inc. Dairy and Babe's Burgers and Franks. [1][dead link] It is so named because it contains rolling green hills and a blue sky with stratocumulus and cirrus clouds. The image is used as the default computer wallpaper for the "Luna" theme, which is included with Microsoft Windows XP. The photograph was taken by the professional photographer Charles O'Rear,[1] a resident of St. Helena, Napa County, for digital-design company HighTurn. O'Rear has also taken photographs for Bill Gates' private Seattle stock photography company Corbis and Napa Valley photographs for the May 1979 National Geographic Magazine article Napa, Valley of the Vine. Although O'Rear's focus was on photographing winemaking in the Napa Valley, the hill in Bliss didn't have grapevines when the photograph was being taken in 1996.

The ability to pay attention, focus and strategically disconnect will be a winning discipline of the next generation of business leaders. As the zen phrase says, “eat when you eat” meaning, give each thing you do all of your attention. You will be rewarded from it. Lately I have been getting back to pen and paper brainstorming. Away from the computer. - Ben Casnocha

I haven't measured, but by subjective experience, paper towels are faster. And WRT the Air Blades, I still don't get what makes them different from Mitsubishi's hand dryers. - Andrew C
