Anyone have a bitcoin exchange recommendation?

I wish you hadn't linked to a file containing passwords and other personal information - I was not expecting that and would not have opened it if I had known.

Can you point me to the evidence that the coins were not put up for sale by the owner? I did not realize that was established.

Why has http://lulzsecurity.com not been seized?

I assumed that they would until I read this: "If you upload or submit any Content, you represent to Dow Jones that you have all the necessary legal rights to upload or submit such Content and it will not violate any law or the rights of any person." https://www.wsjsafehouse.com/terms.html

If possible, I'd love to have 9w2.net, thanks! (sending email now)

I haven't read the GNU Free Documentation License (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_...), but I don't think so.

"DBpedia is derived from Wikipedia and is distributed under the same licensing terms as Wikipedia itself" http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Datasets#h18-19

Please correct me if I'm mistaken!

On the topic of mining Wikipedia, DBpedia (http://dbpedia.org) is a fantastic source for structured Wikipedia content. Extracting data is pretty easy with SPARQL.

Freebase (http://freebase.com) isn't bad, either.

Ridiculous, but inspiring :)

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely worded my comment too strongly. Of course that article isn't strong evidence.

We're supporting both Android and iPhone.

Not in the least. We support both. Most students don't have Macs and feel pressure to develop for the iPhone.

Of course you're right - it isn't strong evidence, just another opinion.

I teach the intro. to HCI course at a Canadian university. The course project includes the design and implementation of a mobile app. I'll be using this article as evidence that my students should develop for Android rather than the iPhone.

Most would prefer to develop for the iPhone, and are taking steps to gain access to Macs and developer accounts for that purpose. This will be a nice push in the other direction.

Feross also already had a great reputation (and resume). He is well known at Stanford, organizing ACM events, among other things.

It would be very cool if even a tenth of this was put towards online education systems. $10M could go a long way towards improving online education, esp. with Facebook as a partner!
