Was your return address, the same as the one posted on your site? If so, just googling that, the first result is your site, which shows your email.

Does sound great, and reminds me alot about the predictions in Popular Mechanics.

Unfortunately, the greatest hindrance when it comes to great innovation and progress (that even Tesla is facing in other states) is politics.

However, I'm long on Tesla and I don't doubt Elon Musk for a second. He has electrical engineers (Tesla), computer technicians (Paypal...evident in Tesla's software), ..... and something that I can't believe is in his network.... rocket scientist (Space X...remember the saying "it's not rocket science," implies difficulty). To be as successful as he is, I'm sure he has political backing, it's just unfortunate that in politics, the basis is big bank takes little bank.

I feel that may be high, when you factor how far are charging/swapping stations, and if the driver will run the battery to the full range.

BUT (grammar aside), I think the high margin may be the push for a franchise model for investors for charging/swapping stations. Especially when you consider BMW, and Toyota are both consulting with Tesla, and Elon may be aiming for a more affordable ($40k I vaguely remember hearing) vehicle to add to their lineup.

I'm a FIRM believer in quality over quantity, and I feel this large number is just to bolster investment into Foxconn.

I really do hope that this pushes further development into Firefox OS...I remember seeing a demo of the Ubuntu Mobile OS running on an Atrix, that was everything I pictured for the future of computing.

I only brought that up since here where I'm at in NorCal, there were tons of bugs when I filed my tank recently.

Also if you have kids in the car, it's convenient, it's like asking why are there drive thru's at restaurants, car washes, and atm machines.

Not sure that #1 applies to everyone...I remember on a road trip, in Oregon it's against the law for me to fill my OWN tank.

EDIT: Added wife's 2 cents

I think the greatest thing to take out of the presentation is...

1. The Tesla driver does NOT need to get out of the car (screw rain and bugs).

2. It IS a reasonable time (no need to sit in a diner and wait)

3. The mileage limitation is becoming less limiting (no different than making sure a long trip has a gas station on the way).

Theft should never hinder innovation, and when you factor in the ambition of Tesla, I am very sure they will dedicate as much time and effort into theft deterrence as they do to ease of use.

I really hope that by 2030, we are utilizing Graphite Super capacitors....with everything I remember reading, it sounds like a miracle material.

I'll speak for myself here...my trust in my government must be broken, since the main thing in this article that I notice is the last sentence.

>"WEA is not designed to – and does not – track the location of anyone receiving a WEA alert," reads the FCC's FAQ.

Exactly what I did when I heard about dwolla no longer offering withdrawals for MtGox....I love coinbase! It's so simple and the UI is clean.

This article really embodies what I love about the net and why I became a web dev first then a software engineer.

A Webpage is designed to be reached by anyone, anywhere, and now...can be read (at least the words) in different languages. I love text just for the global demographic that it can reach thanks to online translators like Google and Bing!

I think confluence-networks.com may be apart of Network Solutions (which is whom LinkedIn is registered with).

I had a domain (nitren.com), that I let expire after 3yrs and confluence-networks.com back ordered it, I remember looking it up a while back, but if I remember right, all the ip and domains were registered or associated with netsol.

I love stats. I must say, that this is a very clever metadata scraping and analysis! I do have to point out that the purpose of a mobile device though is to be able to conduct work (or the basis of this article...a tweet) from anywhere, with that said, I don't think the geo location reflects where someone lives.

Side Note: I may own an iPhone, but my wallet doesn't agree with this title.

I am strong advocate or privacy, and I think I was too vague with my comment...

Father, as in in Tim from CERN.

Big, as in big brother, the government.

Nothing like the "father," of the net to come out and tell the "big," kids that they're doing it wrong.

He planed this really well, I've been almost more facisnated with his execution then the story.

One if the most amazing things that some may not know (if you look through my submissions - I only have 3), he pressured the Post to publish by going to the Guardian. Even the Post consulted gov officials (which is understandable) prior to publishing.

If he continued to stay at that hotel, it would of been his folly I believe. I'm sure his anxiety level is off the charts, so to stick to these well calculated decisions is almost like hearing a Jason Bourne action flick.

Any devs know if its possible to html5 stream an encrypted mp4. I've heard that netflix was pushing drm in html5, but anyone know if its supported yet, or just proposed to the W3?

That is just too funny...that would be awesome if they made that the next name.

So far all of his decisions have been very well calculated. I think this is apart of his reveal, to either keep the focus on the story, or maintain some type of safety and appear to have disappeared into China's intelligence agency....the real point I think is to keep the focus on the reveal.

I agree, while his posting is totally justified and I understand, I believe that their ui/ux dev teams are not apart of the app review processing.

I have, but she only occasionally calls me Batman (lol), but I get no respect from her, probably cause she asked who my wife was and I defined her in my contacts...example, I asked her today "who's your boss?" She said I don't have one Batman

I have Siri on my "new," iPad (the 3rd gen - such a terrible name) and this is exactly what I've used mine for also....well that and I'm one of those people that sometimes ask it dumb questions just to see my wife's face scrunch up.

Can u put an option: "what was the point to upgrade, when my iPhone 4 works fine." :)

I know that was the case with Nextel phones, is that the same with iOS devices?

This "operation," is just ridiculous and childish, and worst case say it could actually pose a risk...I'm definitely a supporter of privacy, just closing ur facebook, using linux, and turning off your phone during precious conversations (reducing ur digital footprint)...that will do more than creating an unnecessary risk like this.

Reminds me of the plot in V for Vendetta. I'm sure we'll hear from some of Anonymous this week, but in regard to hacktivism...just remember, the nail that sticks out gets hammered.

In memory of LulzSec: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ

The Guy Fawkes mask that anonymous uses illustrates what? - treason (hope that's not too cryptic)

I strongly agree with you that I too am impressed with each calculated decision he has taken...even down to the press release.

The press release is also key in his decision to reveal him self. By doing so, how suspicious would it be if he "committed suicide." An example of how the press can protect him, you need not look farther than Julian Assange.

And even when it comes to the initial press release, the only reason I believe that it was revealed in the order that it did was for competition. He seeked the Guardian (in England), and compelled the Post (in the US) to publish. In media, it's all about being first, royalties, and copyrights. Check the link below.

I'd have to say, his execution of his plan, was very well calculated.

Given Snowden's background in intel and the information exposed, I think he calculated his decision correctly. Even though other countries (like Iceland) are offering asylum, I really do believe Snowden choose a formidable country that opposes western views...anyone recall Hilary Clinton addressing China's firewall, or Google pulling out?

I'm not scared at all....just that I need to live for my kids :/

Nice! Just bookmarked that.

I love javascript! The main thing: offloading the computing directly to the end user.

The best cocktail...mix some JS with some CSS3, maybe throw a little HTML5 in there....yup, the only thing I find bad about JS is bad memory management, but that (like most times), comes down to code structuring.
