What's with the blue, dashed borders on the front page? Also, what's up with the asterisks used for bullets? Maybe you should look into the <ul> and <li> tags.

Finally, you should make friends with a spell-checker.
I completely disagree. The excerpt you reference applies equally and without regard to accreditation. Just because accredited investors are the only ones involved does not mean an offering is exempt. The general conditions still apply.

Let's assume the offering is exempt (probably because the issuer used grellas). My question is about whether the issuer has significantly greater ongoing compliance requirements (either contractually imposed or imposed by regulatory bodies) due to the use of accredited investors.

My guess would be yes; if only because they are more competent and require greater detail in the reporting of the issuers activities. I may have minced some words earlier, but the same goes for a public vs. private offering. While the initial exemption may provide greater flexibility to the issuer, I don't see how accredited investors mean less risk. I'd think the opposite were actually true, as you would be less likely to get favorable terms unless they think you are the next Sergey and Larry.

If there is a case to be made (outside of the 12 mo. cap on the allowed amount of capital raised) that non-accredited sources are riskier than accredited ones, please do share.
First Annual UpChucky Awards Announced
I preordered one for my mom, who's never used a computer before in her life. Finally, I found a device safe and easy enough to let her dabble with. With an iPad, she stands a chance to figuring out email and photo sharing and basic web browsing. With a regular OS, she doesn't.

Buying an iPad Day Zero: The Survival Guide
I don't think what you're saying is correct. Sandwiches can be tasty, healthy, and fast. So can pot roasts (once you get the hang of them). Ditto for baked meats - prepare the marinade, let soak while you work, come back and throw in the oven and set the timer, take out when done. You can then use the left over meat for sandwiches all week. Pasta is pretty easy too - boil, cut tomatoes and veggies and add spices to top it off.
Can you or anyone else point to a better source for this. My wife and I are still in school and this directly affects us.
The Many Ways of Combating Feelings of Sickness
April Foo..oh wait.
Non subsidized loans are almost impossible to obtain at anything remotely close to the rate the subsidized loans offer. The best I was offered was 15%. At that point it makes more sense to just not go to school.

Unsecured debt like student loans has incredible risks and the laws in the US aren't very strong in favor of forcing people to repay so a lot choose to just ignore the loans causing them to be even riskier and screwing it for the people who plays fair. Eliminating the subsidy without looking at everything else in play here is dangerous.
You're being, probably not deliberately, a bit disingenuous here. If this was any time after the 80s, the BASIC that the machine came with was /not/ the same thnig that was used to make professional programs. A C compiler or assembler would cost you more than $99 in today's money.

On the iPhone (or iPad), you can run web apps you write with no restriction - and today's Javascript is hardly less powerful in comparison to the machine than yesterday's BASIC.

You can download and use, if you have Mac, Xcode for free, only having to pay the $99 if you want to load your app onto the device. I'd say this compares pretty favorably to the dev tool pricing of old.

About the only /practical/ argument I see here is that you can't program an iPhone or iPad using the device itsself, but that's not even entirely true - there are web sites out there that let you code in web technologies from a browser (hrm, maybe that's a business idea - code iPad web apps from the iPad Safari...).
Why not? I could see mail sending / receiving to be highly correlated with age, which is linear.
One-way tagging.

People occasionally upload party pictures and tag you in them. It is good that people watching the photos can see who are in them, and go to their profiles. The problem is that it also shows up under "Photos of X" where potential employers and girlfriends parents can see them. So you you have to go and untag yourself from any photos where you look stupid.

Let me remove pictures from "Photos of X" while still staying tagged in them.
It's hard to say - I think the future of the tower desktop is definitely suspect, but I see a lot of room for the all-in-ones like the iMac or HP's touch thingamajig.

My folks are looking at getting a new computer - and right now I'm torn between getting them a laptop (and then making them buy a real monitor to work on), or just getting them the gorgeous 27" iMac.

I mean, I could buy them a 27" IPS screen + a laptop or Mac Mini, but it seems almost pointless, and would likely be MORE expensive.

I think it's safer to say that the hulking monstrosities of towers, with the requisite puddle of wires and incomprehensible operation - those are on the way out in a big way. A large segment of the population doesn't do any computing on the go - but have in recent years been buying laptops (and then just leaving them in one place) just for the simplicity and the ease of setup/use. If desktops can clone this (and the iMac has for the most part) and give a better user experience (almost guaranteed) there's a lot of room here.
This may also improve your pagerank, since all the links in the wild that point to 404s will point to real content.
Aren’t we already in that situation? Downloading a pirated movie takes maybe an hour, downloading a album took about the same time ten or so years ago. We are definitely damn close. Yeah, ok, so that’s ten years ago, Jobs wrote his letter three years ago, so maybe we have to wait another seven years :)

I agree. Probably kills a lot of learning and a lot of jobs.

But that's just unintended consequences. Why should government be concerned with those, unless there is some expansion of government that can be engineered to address it?
I agree that we should admit we are capitalists. But I'm a little concerned that this kind of parachuting off the fighter jet exit for web startups makes it more difficult for other capitalists like myself to convince business users to get on board.
Five years ago, I bought a laptop instead of a desktop, just for the fan noise: at least, a laptop is quiet. I've never used it on the road.

Just agreeing with you... and I am a programmer, not just a home user.
I'm afraid it is Facebook users who don't really grasp that yet, but that's a different story altogether.

What bullshit.

1. Goldman blew up AIG by making AIG post collateral based on market prices (for bond insurance AIG had written). Because this is only fair.

2. Goldman got the feds to pay off the insurance at 100% value, not market value. Without an insurable event happening, and without executing the insurance by delivering the bonds.

3. Goldman used the pay off to buy the bonds. At unspecified prices, presumably market prices if we read between the lines.

4. "Qualified investors" knew what they were getting into massive risks buying certain instruments. They were well informed and knew how to investigate and rate risk properly. But when Goldman bought bond insurance from AIG, they were shocked, shocked to find AIG could not pay.
Chili. Make it in a slow cooker in a large batch, and refrigerate most of it for later meals. Here's what you do:

Brown these in a pan:

1 pound cheapest ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

some thyme, salt, pepper, any other spices you think are cool

soy sauce

Put the contents of the pan into the slow cooker. Then stick this stuff in the cooker after it:

1 Anaheim pepper, chopped

4 pods okra, chopped

1 can kidney beans

1 can black-eyed peas

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can tomato sauce

some salt

1 tblsp cumin

chili powder, liberally sprinkled on top

enough habanero sauce to make it spicy. This is important.

a dash of fish sauce. Also important.

a dash of vigegar (optional).

Be sure to drain the beans first. Add a bit of water if it seems too thick. Add any other spices you think are nice. Stir and let it cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Eat some, refrigerate the rest. Takes maybe 40 minutes to prepare, but it lasts for a while.
Whenever you have a thought that merits a good chunk of discussion, give that thought a name.

I don't see much overlap between laptop and iPad.

A laptop is a desktop substitute; it's keyboard+screen in a much more convenient package with a bearable decrease in performance.

An iPad is a paper substitute. It fits this niche precisely because it does not have a keyboard. It's a miserable failure as a laptop substitute because it isn't one.

Comparing it to a laptop is like comparing a motorcycle to a bus. Once you've said not to get one if you want the other there's not much else interesting to say.

i just took on a contract job to build a "reward points" system for an event dating service. The business is handled mainly by an email list. Events are planned and promoted via the list. Company makes money on ticket sales. The owner wanted a way to reward members for attending events, and referring friends. Great idea that is sure to pay off I think. So this concept definitely has relevance.

I want to say that I think initially the scope should be very very small. Instead of trying to develop an alternate currency and exchange marketplace, why not just laser in on a "dead-simple" api type service that tracked user accounts, methods of reward, products available for purchase, and a shopping cart system that allowed members to exchange earned points for products available. +1 for the automatic fulfillment of digital goods. Course this all off just thought exploration but I think the simpler the better since a lot more "low tech" businesses could benefit from this as opposed to code-ninjas that would just want to roll their own in the proverbial weekend anyway.

In a nutshell: Don't underestimate how many businesses rely on the simplicity of an email list to run their business. Add rewards system as an integration to mailchimp, campaignmonitor, icontact, hell constant contact and you've got something worth testing at least.

I'm on board if anyone wants to talk about it.
The real problem is not that Goldman Sachs knows how to exploit bubbles or that they sell bad products or turn to the government when their gambles don't pay off.

The real problem is that our government seems to be at the beck and call of Goldman Sachs and entities like it.

Congress has even surrendered its responsibility for our money to the Federal Reserve, a scheme hatched by bankers that created the bubble leading up to first great depression.

Why is this that so many are obsessed with what iPad does not do, instead of how well it does what it does? How difficult it is to grasp that: a) iPad is not intended to replace anything and b) it's first and foremost consumption device.

It's so hilarious seeing bankers and investers pointing finger elsewhere - especially Goldman Sachs, of all the greedy, evil people...

I can buy the argument that Goldman didn't see the subprime coming since they were initially exposed (or so the story goes http://www.vanityfair.com/business/features/2010/04/wall-str...) Because of this, they were the first big bank to see the coming pop, and acted.

However, while their CFO may be the most "frustrated" he's ever been during his 30 years as a Goldmanite, I'm the most frustrated I've ever been in my 23 years as an American. To see this bank make millions every day because a luiqidity-at-all-costs monetary policy issues taxpayer debt to TBTFs as near-zero % interest loans which they use to jack the DOW to all time highs is ridiculous. Yes, the US government is totally unable to tackle the country's financial problems which creates opportunities for I-banks like GS, but I can hardly believe the right path requires a bonanza for these guys. Non-CNBC headlines consistently point to a blatant conflict of interest between fiscal policy and wall street profits (today: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/guest-post-tim-geithner-sni...) They want to play the dangerous game of squeezing the heart of our nation during a time of impending crisis.. look to Blackwater for PR advice.

The best Present and Future alternatives to the iPad
Yeah, cooking can be difficult when you're time poor. I've found that:

A dishwasher helps.

Razor sharp knives that are properly cared for help. Blunt knives waste a lot of time when cooking.

Putting a bit of time into mastering quick recipes (e.g. stir fries) helps.
2. If I recall, GS expected and was prepared to take the hit right before bailout bonanza.

Awesome, I didn't know about pescatarianism. I wanna be a pescatarian, too!
My personal favorites are frozen veggies and pre-washed salad. For a simple salad you don't need no time. Put the salad in a bowl add tuna (best cheap protein source), onions, corn or what to like; then add vinegar, oil, salt - then you are finished.
Frozen veggies are great if you have a microwave - put it in, 5 to 10 minutes and they are ready to eat - they have more vitamins than fresh veggies.
Frozen stuff is also good for meat and fish, but you have to cook it in a pan, so you need about 10 minutes.

I want something that can replace my phone and laptop, I think this could probably be accomplished by a tablet you could fit in either a shoulder sling or a large pocket, coupled with a bluetooth headset.

Of course you wouldn't want to be talking into the thing, but as a platform for handling calls I can't see why a tablet shouldn't be able to act as the brain for a bt headset.

This way I could just have the tablet + a powerful desktop at home for "real work".

Doesn't sound like you want to improve your website, just drive traffic. Basically you've got 3 major ways to drive traffic:

search - paid or organic

links - from anywhere, anyone

type in - people going to your site directly, often connected to offline advertising

you're probably best of scaling one/both of the first two options.

organic seo rankings is going to take time, you should spend maybe couple hours a day building links to your site for keywords you think are most relevant.

paid search (sem) is another scalable and faster strategy. it's not 'hands off' and requires you to create (well ok, not requires, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND) some landing pages optimized to each keyword and drive traffic to them. It's a math game, clicks * price per click < your margin * conversion rate. YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. You will also learn and improve if you do this properly and can find keywords where you can meet that basic criteria.

as far as getting links... there is the tried and true for SEO purposes: article marketing, directory marketing, social commenting. But don't forget the real purpose of those links back in the day was to actually DRIVE traffic. I saw some creative ways here about having myspace messages, same with twitter, facebook, etc. The best advice I can give you here is MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO LINK YOU. Create some compelling and interesting content. (checkout mint's strategy http://jasonputorti.com/post/472866002/how-mint-com-acquired...)

Good luck.
True, also lots of people just want a cheap and easy phone for everyday use; and a point and click for birthdays, my parents for example. I don't want to be carrying a 450€ phone with me all the time: it drops, gets dirty, gets lost or stolen.
that's a good list.

Back in 2004 I got my first Tablet PC, compaq t1000. Later I ditched it and got myself a Sony VGN-UX90PS. My experience after 6 years of tablets: they suck. The interface is terrible to use starting from XP-Tablet Edition, to Windows 7. It is just like a laptop, but too small, to complicated. The iPad will not have the same fault. But I believe, for Apples success the interface will matter much less than the kick-ass content 3rd party developers provide. If I could have all Iphone/Ipad programs on my windows tablet, I would not switch.
