Economic Sciences deserve to take over the whole Nobel prize.
They should get all the prizes.
They have proven themselves as the ultimate woodo wizards of "applied" scientists.
If you go to source page, you will see that the full name of the prize is
"The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel"
Why? There is no Nobel prize for economics.
This was a self-congratulatory add-on instituted by bankers in an attempt to add respectability to the turbulent industry of studying abstract virtual value that is not just affected, but created by the observer.
Let me repeat myself. There is no Nobel prize for economics.
The fact that the majority of people here, and worldwide, fail to notice that, is the only proof needed that economics is the ultimate science of them all.
And the sweet little Swedes had to bail out their bankers after the US fiasco. At least the bankers spend some of that taxpayer money to keep the "prize" going.
What is so disheartening about so many of my facebook contacts sharing this? That it is a simple manifestation of the power of herd mentality. You are talking about mature adults with not just children and property, but with degrees of higher education not adhering to the base principles of reason. If an "educated" person does not bother to verify perceived facts before acting on them, what other imbecile lemming behavior are they capable of? There truly are no innocents.
After some terrible early experiences with gold diggers, I am now very happy to be with a woman that despises any and all status symbols, and instead of buying them invested some money in gold and silver bullion early on, as part of a diversified portfolio.
She routinely spends the money that status-affected women waste on social symbols on travel, sports, fitness and healthy leisure.
My advise to all startup entrepreneurs is simple - plan your mating like your startup - lean and goal-driven. Identify your goals, budget, deadline and overall strategy.
If you cannot meet the woman that meets your demands where you are, travel and diversify.
I run a startup news website. I review press-releases and pitches every day. The basics in this post are solid, but the two most important things in a pitch are
1)exclusivity
2)currency (that is a media term for "the story is relevant and current for right now, it has currency")
Here is my guide to getting a write-up about your startups

!!!! Exactly!
if you don't employ a sufficient numbers of native speakers for these languages, you will never get sufficient results. All other employees can't help you out. Translation software is useless, if you don't know how to weight the possible results from the cultural canon.
Well, for Yandex, livejournal is as important as .gov domains for google.
Livejournal.com is very important for Russians on the internet and completely irrelevant for everyone else.
It's where american teenage goths write diaries about fat issues for us Yankees. In Russia, a lot of important people blog there, with thousands of readers and followers.
That's the point of the article- there is no such problem in germanic languages and many other European languages that the google algo have been tweaked for. Search on google in english and swedish, without any URL string shenannigans, get good results for both.
You raise a very interesting point. Just because a lot of American companies draw a large amount of income from abroad does not make them respect the market or adjust the product to that market. IN fact, US imperialist policy (and that is simply what it is, don't take me for a rebel commie, but a country that has been at offensive war for most of it's history cannot be named anything but an imperialist) has insured that other countries are force fed American products, right after we liberize them, as in liberate for immediate colonisation.
I think despite all the article's flaws, that point you mention is very valid- google is a very American product, with the good-enough-for-us-means-good-enough-for-the-rest-of-the world.
Why should it matter? Both english and swedish work well in the "swedish" google search box in firefox. That's the point- the Russian algo and redirection to it is simply not there yet.
Think about bittorrent. They are making money. Check it out

Just because you are decentralized does not mean you cannot control the tunnel!
And if you change the word, there will be lots of job offers. Think about the founder of the internet, he certainly won't ever have to worry about unemployment.
Serve humanity and humanity will serve you.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.
Good speed, and do not listen to the naysayers.
I have set out on an amazing journey myself, and the more I depanded from the universe - by giving away what I had to give of my talent- the more I got back.
Not that you should go hungry.
You can manage in balance.
Meditate. Be passionate. Think for yourself. Read fundamental books. By fundamental I mean "important", not "full of religious bigotry".
I got a lot of ideas from Frank Herbert's "Dune", for example.
Do things. I mean dont just use your lizard brain to constantly look for new input, dont follow what other people are doing. Start your own pet project.
No matter how small. Find the smallest problem you can solve. Ideally a global one. But a local one works too.
Anything to get you working. Then the creative juices will flow.
