They do more than basil, it was just the example I used in the opening, also other greens and even some fruit.

Well, at the time I was told by one prospective interviewee that, aside from Google, there wasn't anything interesting going on in the valley. That's because it was still recovering from the dot com boom/bust.
Aside from being not true - sometimes the most interesting things happen when money is scarce - I found the place to be in a very reflective mood, which benefited the documentary and I think I managed to capture quite well on film.
We finished editing in 2006, by which time TechCrunch, whom I now write for, was founded, based on the web's second coming and the beginning of the startup 'renaissance' (if we can call it that) we see today. And, as the film concludes, Silicon Valley is everywhere now.

As featured on TechCrunch, RWW etc. back in the day. I'm the director if you have any questions.

I wrote the article and, yes, I probably conflated TESO and ADM with w00w00 on one level, though I did a ton of research and those other hacker groups were routinely mentioned in comparison.
"Gotta disagree with you on this one. Lots of folks in w00w00 worked together. In that sense, they did invest in each other (with time and effort, if not cash)." -- that's correct and a good way of putting it.

Except others in w00w00 ended up working at Napster and one is practically a co-founder.

We're getting ready for our public Beta and, having rolled out some changes, it would be really helpful to get a few more Alpha users in beforehand. Use the secret word: "magic". Thanks.

It wasn't melted after it was removed lol
It was removed because the key no longer registered a click. So it was taken off so that the button under the key could be used instead... 000 ))))) like that.

Android Market's reliance on Google Checkout makes life hard for developers who want to get paid.

The choices aren't based on sales but other factors such as innovation, features, ease of use etc. How much they have changed the game as it were.

If Apple markets a Netbook-type appliance the way it knows how, developers will jump on board. That's just how it works.
