Looks like Ocean front real estate is not for those who currently live there but for those who WANT too, and have the money to do so.

They just showed the prototype of the $100 laptop geared to putting this education tool in the hands of children in the developing world.
Initially I was really impressed and encouraged by this innovation. I think it has some amazing implications for boosting learning in the developing world.

I want to talk about facebook etiquette. I’m not talking about the kind where guys are trying to make friends with every girl whose picture they like (that’s just immature), but more with people you already know.
