This deal was about 300mm wafers (the substrate on which chips are manufactured) not 300mm chips. TechCrunch got the terminology wrong.

The authors are a condensed matter physicist and a lawyer. No economists there. So the "global financial crisis" they refer to could be that some countries benefit, others lose, that some companies make higher profits and others go bankrupt. How is that different from today's "crises"? An economist could help.

Doesn't work for business accounts, so no good for folks that put their mobiles under a business account (like many consultants).

"Getting Things Done" by David Allen is certainly not a computer science book, but many successful computer scientists and entrepreneurs I know have read it and use its principles. GTD helps us organize and maintain their opportunities, plans and intents into a structure. It gets our to-do items out of our heads and into an organized system, so we can focus on one thing at a time. This was one of the most transformative books I've read, and I have a computer science Ph.D.

Municipal buses frequently have bike racks. San Francisco bay area bus lines have them. Regional trains allow bikes on board, etc.

I hypothesize Google pays for these images, and they are more likely to pay for recent high-res (i.e. more expensive) metropolitan images because there is greater demand (primarily from Google Maps rather than Google Earth). That's why your images are low-res and old. I'm pretty sure Google doesn't own any satellites. It's very expensive to deploy a satellite, and several companies have gone bankrupt with satellite-based products (Iridium is the most notable one, Sirius/XM may soon join the club). If such companies don't recover their costs, they will tank.

I would suggest that you make a case with Digital Globe to see if they will donate images in exchange for some kind of co-promotion. Such as, If you find the downed plane, you will say Digital Globe helped. It's worth a shot.

You should solidify your ownership of the domain immediately, and consider specifics about offers, etc. later.

I had an interesting challenge to my ownership of the Chaco.com domain. We were using it legitimately to host material on Chaco Canyon, as well as hosting our MUD client (formerly owned by our company Chaco Communications). And yet, we were challenged by Chaco Sandals. The challenge was close; we almost lost the domain, just because we were a little sloppy.

The details are here:

Based on my experience, I would suggest that you get all the domain ownership issues in a solid form: Use your own name, make sure the addresses are correct and usable, don't use a "privacy filter" like GoDaddy sells to hide your identity.

Good luck.
