Watch the video carefully. It seems there are long but thin vents that run from corner to corner in the removable top / lid around 1:59 and 2:03. Also, I'm not certain, but it looks like there may be small slit vents near the bottom in a circular pattern at 2:08

These are just for Developers. The backers are are supposed to get them in March.

Early fusion research was performed there by Gallagher with his Sledge-O-Matic.

Google has had a number of algorithms to rank search results over the years. Some people liked some better than others. Why not have one default algorithm, but also have alternate algorithms (including one that takes into account +1 data) as part of their Advanced Search options? That way I can try Algorithm #2 or 3 if Algorithm #1 isn't giving the results I want.

How many points to hack rankmyhack.com? :-)

I'm at 3 steps. A friend of my brother used to babysit Kevin Bacon's children.

Hmmm. Maybe it's the high-definition? I usually let the buffer load before playing to prevent interruptions. Besides that, I haven't had much problem.

They are, but I don't how well that is going. Barely any buzz about it (as far as I can tell), and from what I've seen the hardware is pricey. Hulu, on the other hand, is popular and users don't need to spend a few hundred dollars to use it.

I have no clue if they're interested, but I hope Google buys it. I like Hulu and I like Google. And, Google has done a decent job with YouTube.

I'd rather see him get hired by Google, given some resources, staff, and autonomy, and see what he makes of it.

Ah, but hindsight is 20/20!

There has been a lot of talk about Astrology, lately. Some people seem to have become distraught over their "sign changing" (even though it really hasn't).

There is a difference between Tropical Astrology and Sidereal Astrology. Tropical Astrology ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_astrology ) has the 12 Zodiac signs we are all used to.

Sidereal Astrology ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_astrology ) does things differently. It has 13 Zodiac Signs and different dates for each sign. It's not really new, and it's certainly not any more real than the Tropical Astrology. Simply ignore it and nothing really changes.
