For any Canadians reading today:

There are two petitions you should sign if you don't feel like this is right.

http://stopubb.ca/ - A petition to stop forced usage based billing.

and if you dont like the fact that the CRTC appears to bend to the will of the telcos without regard for the consumer, there is a petition to dissolve the CRTC here - http://dissolvethecrtc.ca/

"the unsuspecting reader may unconsciously consume a variety of advertisements through the written word. Perhaps through the use of Alliteration spelling out a brand. Or through the use of landmark phrases to connect a user to a previously addressed food or drink. The power of the written word is underestimated and is thus one of the greatest untapped marketing mediums known to exist"

Perhaps they put some effort into the GUI to establish a brand image of sorts before the Open Source Community got their hands on it, wouldn't you? They got Paid because they had the initiative to start it, that's how it works.Also, the amount they got paid is kind of representative of the amount of demand out there for an alternative to Facebook - So

They announced they would release a semi-working version's code, and that's exactly what they did. Their "mission statement" has a large emphasis on security so i sincerely doubt they will allow another major release with a "Patched" backend. The open source community Is large enough and kind enough to contribute where they may have fallen short. If you want to get paid for helping, you may want to go start your own.

on a gram by gram basis Corella Algae is actually like SUPER nutritious. NASA i think experimented with using it for long space flights in the 60/70's. So your body can function longer running on a tomato-sized amount of algae than it could on an actual tomato.

Ancient alien conspirators actually believe that the Holy Grail was actually a Manna Machine that produced this kind of algae. Fun Fact..

kinda skimmed the article but i think hes getting at the idea that it's a good supplement and could have potential in enriching foods.
