This is the problem with how these bills are named.

SOPA stands for "Stop Piracy Online Act". I.e., how can you be against something that stops theft?

It would have a completely different mainstream reaction if it were called the "Censor the Internet Act" or "Stop Free Speech Online Act".

What's your contact info?

I'm working on something related for project management and task planning (though it's more in sync with the premise of the original article and to a lesser extent with ccLoop) called TeamWork.io http://teamwork.io/

You can reach me through the contact form at that site, or via http://banrai.com/contact.html

The foundation is trying to find people willing to write and contribute apps for it, yet it's hard to actually get your hands on one.

The UI of the Read app itself, though, is very nice, and I've enjoyed reading both pdfs and epubs using it.

Having paying customers is one of the first things that makes a new business real.

While gantts have their place, for most projects they do not add a lot of value.

Bloomberg chose not to feature everyone, but all startups had to agree to be on the show or leave the Techstars program: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3133198

Can it hop on any cell network in the are, or will there be blackout zones?

There is, however, a lot of lip service about both energy conservation and healthier lifestyles, and in that context, drive-throughs represent the antithesis of both.

It wasn't intended as a slight against Slovenia in any way (and if you took it that way, please accept my apologies).

I went to their web store http://www.shopping.hp.com and searched for "touchpad" but all I found for sale were accessories: cases, stands, cables, etc.

Maybe this coupon signup is some kind of marketing survey, to help HP decide what to do with the touchpad.

They also don't make much sense in daily life: are people really so busy they can't stop to eat?

"Coupon codes are not valid anywhere but the HP online store"

Thrun’s ultimate mission is a virtual university in which the best professors broadcast their lectures to tens of thousands of students. Testing, peer interaction and grading would happen online; a cadre of teaching assistants would provide some human supervision; and the price would be within reach of almost anyone. “Literally, we can probably get the same quality of education I teach in class for about 1 to 2 percent of the cost,” Thrun told me.

The traditional university, in his view, serves a fortunate few, inefficiently, with a business model built on exclusivity. “I’m not at all against the on-campus experience,” he said. “I love it. It’s great. It has a lot of things which cannot be replaced by anything online. But it’s also insanely uneconomical.”

Thrun acknowledges that there are still serious quality-control problems to be licked. How do you keep an invisible student from cheating? How do you even know who is sitting at that remote keyboard? Will the education really be as compelling — and will it last? Thrun believes there are technological answers to all of these questions, some of them being worked out already by other online frontiersmen.

“If we can solve this,” he said, “I think it will disrupt all of higher education.”
