Louis, really? He's been a key component (along with Luck this year and of course, Harbaugh) in one of the biggest turnarounds of an NCAA football team I can recall and he produces yards like nobody's business (got a school high record 2 weeks ago). National name or not, a player that has done that much for a team should definitely be considered seriously.

Go (http://golang.org/) looks pretty cool. I love channels and interfaces. It captures a lot of the things I wanted to see in a modern programming language.
Interesting that "goroutines" are implemented with heap-allocated stack segments. Does that mean continuations are a possibility? You could use them to implement a kind of exceptions.

"Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire AdMob, a mobile display ad technology provider, for $750 million in stock." Congrats to Kevin Scott and the other folks I know at AdMob.

Go Stanford! (It's 16-7 Cardinal now)... said the Cal fan.

31-14 Stanford nearing the end of the first half. An interesting Pac 10 season, to say the least.

So... here's one option... * USC crushes Cal, then Oregon crushes USC, then Stanford crushes Oregon, and then Cal crushes Stanford. Weirder things have happened.
- Louis Gray
So what are your thoughts on Cal and Stanford this year, Bret? Cal got toasted by both USC and Oregon, but has won elsewhere.

Louis: hopefully going to be a good game. Two great running backs, defenses that are inconsistent. It is really hard to predict given how inconsistent both teams have been, though.

"While it is obvious that this maneuver creates a problem for the multi-billion dollar GPS market, it also poses real challenges for the leading smart phone players – RIM’s Blackberry and Apple’s iPhone. Without access to their own mapping data, these vendors now face an interesting dilemma. Do you risk flying naked without free navigation or do you suck it up and swallow the above average royalty fee for each and every handset? Neither option is stellar. This problem isn’t nearly as daunting as the one now faced by the Windows Mobile and Symbian teams. As software providers, they are lucky to get a per unit royalty equal to that extracted by the GPS data guys. If they are now forced to integrate this data merely to keep their product competitive, their gross margin just went negative. Ouch!"

Switched to Chrome developer release for Mac OS X (http://www.google.com/chrome...), and it was the best decision I have made recently. Firefox/Flash wouldn't stop crashing since my upgrade to Snow Leopard.
I hate Flash in OS X no matter which browser, but maybe Chrome's process separation manages to minimize the damage when Flash blows up?
