"We have to behave as though we don't know" what's going to happen, says Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt. The company will curtail the "dark matter," he says, projects that "haven't really caught on" and "aren't really that exciting." He says the company is "not going to give" an engineer 20 people to work with on certain experimental projects anymore. "When the cycle comes back," he says, "we will be able to fund his brilliant vision."Wow, the myth of Google as a company pushing the envelope of innovation through 20 percent time just died today. Its sad, because it was a great idea. I hope other variants of the idea will spread throughout industry.View 2 replies

A partner of one that considered buying a stake that he estimated was between one-third and one-half of Fairfield — the firm was valuing itself somewhere between $1 billion and $1.5 billion — said that he was scared off about 20 minutes into his initial meeting with a team of Fairfield managers.That's quite striking, I don't see why anyone would put hundreds of millions of dollars in investment into the hands of someone whose name is nor revealed. But it seems that there may be a law of proportions going on. Really fancy restaurants have really small portions, but there is a level of trust that the quality compensates for the lack of quantity. Maybe in the insider world of very high end p...View 0 replies

And if you're a filmmaker that wants to avoid jumping through the traditional hoops of the filmmaking business, why not take a look at Massify.I would say that Massify implicitly suggests that massive numbers of aspiring film makers lack the resources to fully get engaged in making films, but nonetheless have talents that can be exposed in moments of the film making process that allow transnational collaborations between volunteers to take place. It is a great reservoir of human capacity, I hope it will be drawn upon in adept and creative...View 0 replies

I once asked one of America's super-rich women what the hardest thing was about managing wealth. "Avoiding fraud," she said. It never arrives in the obvious form of a carnie barker. It's always someone like, well, Bernie Madoff, solid, smiling, generous, and with an arctic heart.That's chilling to think about.View 0 replies

After his girlfriend dumps him, insomniac art student Ben (Sean Biggerstaff) takes a supermarket night-shift job and deals with his boredom by pretending he can stop time -- a tactic that reveals life's hidden beauty and draws him to the intriguing checkout girl (Emilia Fox). Surrounded by equally creative co-workers, Ben learns that by freezing time, his world opens up to unimaginable possibilities, including a cure for his chronic sleeplessness.I thought CASHBACK was terrifically done and definitely underrated by the critics. Its sharp, emotionally honest, balances sexuality with deeper feelings in an adept and increasingly elegant way over the course of the film, and draws a viewer into the world of the protagonist deeply. I definitely thoroughly enjoyed the movie.View 0 replies

It was one of an unknown number of deals that prominent financial figures set up in recent years and marketed to investors, who thought they were tapping into the acumen of some Wall Street titan, like Mr. Merkin.The network effect that was required for the scam of the century to happen is just astounding.View 0 replies

If that much money is left in the monetary base, it would be extremely inflationary.”I'd be interested in a deeper analysis on this point. It seems like a risk that may be worth taking, but how much is extreme- I could stomach significant inflation by historical US standards, I could not in any way, shape or form stomach anything within orders of magnitude of Argentina or Zimbabwe. The question is how perilous is the risk.View 0 replies
