fluffypony: "if you were foolish enough to buy their very own "BBS" IPO shares at 0.1 BTC each you would have earned
a whopping 0.00007138 BTC in dividends in 7 months. You can expect to recover your investment in about 9813 months (818 years) at the current average dividend. If you're particularly lucky and they hit their Nov 2013 dividend high every month you can expect to recover your investment in
a mere 1676 months (140 years)."

a client in the political business tells me that web advertising budgets are just touching 10% of the overall campaign budget (the bulk of the remaining 90% is...television)

a former employer that was/is trying to enter the 'cloud backup' market. With
