gaz··on Interview with 26 year-old Wuala CEO Dominik Grolimund
If your interested in trying it out you can download it from http://webware.wua.la/ the invitation code is "webware"
gaz··on How would you build a human computer so that people can write possibly ambiguous code in high-level English and have it "execute" by others using common sense?
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but for example:

"Give me a list of search engines sorted from best to worst" (an ambiguious english expression - http://www.tallstreet.com/view/Search_Engine/ )

Then people nominate answers (by investing in them), which get weighted by how many people nominated, how they weighted different answers compared to each other, and also takes into account the persons "judgement history" (net worth - i.e. if they have been previously good at making good nominations they have more authority)

An then when people run the "algorithm" they rate the output which is fed back to the nominators who are rewarded or punished based on the quailty of their answers - so over time the system improves.

gaz··on What would happen if you could patent ideas? Would we see more novel startups?
people will pursue novel start up ideas if they feel it would be profitable to do so. you get more innovation by having many companies competing on the same ideas and trying to outdo each other.
