Up to this point, the "content industries" have only been able to participate in the rather boring white-collar branch of criminality. They merely want to join their brethren in the automotive, chemical, and oil industries in the murder and mayhem branches.
The way the Dutch Auction worked was that people indicated what price they were willing to pay for how many shares. Once GOOG decided how many shares to sell, they counted down the bid shares from the highest prices until all were accounted for. Then they sold them all for that value. That means that since they sold for $85, everyone who got shares were WILLING to pay at least $85, and probably more! Since some people thought they were worth $85, while others thought they were worth more, the ones who thought they were worth less sold 'em to the ones willing to pay more, and the price/share went up.
The biological difference is that they (claim to have) cloned an adult. In identical twins, the blastocyst (small bundle of cells) divides before the cells have a chance to differentiate. Once a cell has differentiated (i.e. picked what its "role in life" is to be: muscle, brain, bone, etc), neither it nor its 'children' ever become anything else.
There's something screwy about this whole thing, though. Scientific American isn't really a peer-reviewed journal, and the journal they claim to have published in (e-biomed: The Journal of Regenerative Medicine) sounds pretty iffy as well.
The Maryland delegates and senators all have toll-free numbers: for Caspar Taylor, the number is 1-800-492-7122, ext. 3800. Other extensions can be found listed under the particular delegate.

Isn't there something a bit weird about relying on "Lords" to protect the rights of common people while the "Commons" are busy taking them away?
