I see potential for MarketBrief to be acquired by Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg or News Corp or Yahoo! or a PE fund easily for a billion plus good change, I think they can get 100m in revenue annually.

Also, I can see same chance for Codecademy to get acquired for around or just under a billion. They can easily get 50m-100m in revenue annually, many ways this can be achieved.

Both have become good brand names already and can become great.

I wonder if they have the fixed the battery drain bug in this release.

When I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my netbook, it had that bug. Read it on reddit that it has something to do with regression or something. So I had to downgrade to 10.10 to go back to previous version of the kernel.
