Rob,

I haven't seen anyone else ask this question, but I currently craft my own biodiesel and was wondering if the maker / private owner market would be able get access to buy fuel from this process?

I understand there might be tweaking of engine combustion profiles to make that happen, but I think this is exciting and would love to support by buying some of this amazing fuel without waiting for it at a gas pump...

I am all for wiping out Malaria, but wouldn't it be prudent to try and develop what-if scenarios and test them to see if there is an adverse ecological impact?

I would also be curious to know the business / funding arrangement details to see if there is any possible conflict of interest. No one will look for adverse impacts if the profit motive is persuasive enough not to look very hard.

Before I left Intel in 2013, they had recognized that the money was really in the value added chain of the mobile segment (i.e. iTunes).

But the same stagnant culture that prevented them from seeing and embracing the mobile revolution also prevented them from making things like the Intel AppStore work.

At this point, Intel really is just a vertical implementation of a company like TSMC.

I worked at Intel for 15 years in IT, and Diane, was by far, the best CIO Intel ever had.

I am conflicted about whether I would want her to return as the culture (as pointed out by others), is very stagnant (one of the reasons I left), and the classic good ole boys network (which is how Intel was really toxic) was still there and stronger than ever when I left in 2013.
