Air hockey might be a cool idea too.

This is one of the main points right wing pundits make against legalizing pot too.

I wonder what bootleggers started to sell after alcohol was legalized in the US.

RIP AT&T

(too bad that was also said a generation ago)

Very unconventional. I wonder who they consider their user base.

I'd add this as a firefox search plug-in

There was an Ask Metafilter question about learning stats.

"if you do hide money someplace around the house, make sure that your significant other (or someone close) knows where your hiding place is."

Reminds me of the laptop that was cooked in its hiding place, the oven

One of Kiva's featured United States entrepreneurs is working down the street from where I live. I dropped by and bought a sandwich because I was curious.

On one hand, it's interesting to personally meet the beneficiary of microfinancing. On the other hand, it's interesting to think there are some days that she makes more than me.

Here's the kiva link to her profile: http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about...

I love this idea. One of the entrepreneurs has her business a couple blocks from where I live.

I went to check it out and said hi. I really like the idea of being able to meet the entrepreneurs on Kiva.

Didn't Kevin Rose go to elance

"ATM and point-of-sale skimming devices that could be hooked up to legitimate machines to steal information"

This week a friend twittered that her credit card information was stolen from a RedBox DVD dispenser. Her bank informed her about it, but they didn't say how it was accomplished. Now I know how.

Freeze multiple, unconnected columns and rows.

That way I could view the descriptions at the top and the sums at the bottom while I'm scrolling through any point in a spreadsheet.

...unless it's inherited

Here's the link fwiw http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/09/technology/where_does_google...

I thought Techcrunch made a good point that even though it might only be a small change in what appears as news, it's a huge change fundamentally. I prefer Techmeme to stay fully automated.

Google's chief economist has been quoted as saying Google has a "GDP beta" of one. So this shouldn't really be a surprise.

"The question of what to manufacture was postponed until later in the discussion."

So in 1937, a couple of college friends thought it would be cool to start a business for the sake of starting a business. They probably had a couple great ideas rolling around in their minds, but they didn't have a clear revenue path.

My how things have changed in Silicon Valley.

The better the college, the more doors that are open to start one's career. But it seems once college is over, and the more work experience that one has, the less that college matters.

I like where this is could go. Not that youtube is doing something that no one else has done (technically speaking) but only because of the clout youtube holds. I’d be more interested in seeing a live Steve Jobs keynote, or even the presidential debates live on youtube.

One thing the article does not mention is that maybe Fortune 500 companies do not want Google reading their email.

Capping bandwidth would be more forgivable if they would advertise their true broadband download speeds.

PCWorld probably pays her more. This list easily could have gone on lifehacker, but I'd also say most of lifehacker's readers would already be familiar with the things on this list.

You've got to use some kind of program to keep track of number. And it's cheapest to do the books yourself or hire someone to do it part time. Another nice thing about the online edition is it's easier to share your information with your accountant.

dvorak.org/blog has a nice ring to it
