Nope.

I am working through 'the Hello World book'with my kids and plan to teach an after school course on Python next year. I am very pleased with 'Hello World' but am curious on your thoughts on which one you prefer. 'Hello World' or 'Python for Kids'?

Taxes on the wealthy and their capital gains are going up! Between now and the end of the year I believe you will see a LOT of selling from people and institutions holding large positions. Regardless of whether or not we go over the 'Cliff', capital gains tax rates will be going up and lots of selling will occur that drives down stock prices.

Congrats for sure. Now let's speculate on what Google will do with them? Are they going to get into online retail and compete with Amazon? Will Google be able collect data on what is stored in the compartments? Any other ideas?

Agreed! Too many startups these days do a poor job describing the job they are doing and conveying the value created.

Interesting idea. However, would that create an unnatural, 'valley of the uncanny', type feel? Approaching realism but falling short and ultimately distracting?

I'm curious about their thoughts on Pivotal as well.

In addition, how do you track velocity?

This is a measure of popularity based on the metric of feeling (favorable vs unfavorable). Using this metric one could place anything up there to compete, including Pizza! As a result, I am sure Pizza would have even higher "favorable" ratings than all of them!

What this chart does not show is the relationship to demand. Which would also be a basis of popularity. Then you would need to measure the basis of feelings against specific segments (android vs iPhone).

Bottom line....I think this report is a very unscientific measurement of "Popularity".
