Not only that, but I heard my friend's xm radio, and they started putting ads on some of the stations (the comedy station was the only one I listened to). I dislike commercial radio as much as the next guy, but at least I don't have to pay for the privilege to listen to ads. sheesh.
That sounds nice and all, but who's to say what the cable companies will charge for the al a carte pricing scheme? Can't they just say "Ok, you can pick your channels, that'll be $100 bucks a channel." Or is the FCC going to get into the business of price controls, too? A la carte sounds like a good idea on the surface, but the real problem is that cable is a monopoly in most places.
Can't people really create some kind of protection against malaria ?
The problem is that malaria is a virus, and drug companies have a hard time making money off of developing vaccinations for 3rd world diseases. The only counterexample I know of is GlaxoSmithKline, which was about to axe their malaria vaccine program until whoever the head was told their chief he would seek outside grants and donations to fund the program. Enter the Gates foundation.
It amazes me how little attention malaria gets relative to other diseases. I think of that ebola outbreak in Angola earlier this year that had everyone freaking out maximally, and it killed like 300 people. What nobody realizes is that every year, malaria kills about 10000 people in Angola alone. Just a little thanksgiving perspective
Not only that,
"A Picture, photograph, drawing, sculpture, motion picture film, or other similar visual representation that depicts nudity"
is considered sexually explicit. So I guess my book of Rodin sculptures constitutes hard core Pr0n. . .
I'd say almost a billion dollars in net income after their first year public suggests a little more than hype. As for a business plan, one could say they're an advertising agency with a nice search engine and a bunch of nice apps.
From TFA:
"They say it probably began growing in 1997 and has been rising ever since at a rate of about 1.4 inches a year."
So, 8 yrs x 1.4 in/yr = 11.2 inches. . . Oregon's hung like a horse!
Unless we developed algae to do the job:

I doubt they pay $200 for it, but thats what they charge

This sort of reminds me of the folks who said it was physiologically impossible to run a 4 minute mile. . .

That would interfere with (insert local telco)'s god given right to profit! Surely Congress will put this to a stop.
