> all if you manage to give me good feedback on how to do a better presentation next time around.

You really should ask the audience that question.

What a web based tool could do is integrate a feedback mechanism, maybe even tied to specific slides. Imagine you are giving the presentation, and I am bored to tears by your slide on profit margins increasing in Q2.

So I open the synchronized viewer app on my phone, and touch the frownie face icon or the icon that says 'zzzz'. Hopefully you will replace the bullets with an animated chart for your next presentation.

Maybe there already is an app for that?

"Doug, it's important that, when writing JavaScript, your use JSLint to verify it. Do you know it? If you need any help, refer to our internal wiki."

There was JavaScript (including the good parts) before Douglas Crockford started disseminating his ideas about the language and long before jQuery was released. So it was like a powerful and possibly quite elegant language all along, but it needed to be 'discovered' and 'evangelized'.

With respect to JavaScript, it's like front-end developers are all enlightened today, after living in the dark ages for about 10 years.

> it's really cluttering the UI.

It looks like Bing is trying not to clutter the UI with its social features by default:

"Sidebar is the most novel component of the new Bing. It's a mellow, gray sidebar that is closed by default. It shows a thumbnail of your picture and two control icons, and that's it. There's a hint arrow to expand it. When you open Sidebar, it shows you stuff from social networks that's relevant to your search."

What is Instagram was to be the replacement? Can Facebook, with a lot of cash from the IPO, avert the same fate as MySpace buy buying its supposed successors?

That path seems to go in the same direction, but then it diverges in Science, mostly due to the first sentence on that page, where [Latin] and [knowledge] are links:

> Science (from [Latin] scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes [knowledge]...

It happens again in Taxonomy, which otherwise would surely lead to Philosophy from the [classification] link:

> Taxonomy (from [Greek]: τάξις taxis "arrangement" and Greek: νομία nomia "method"[1]) is the science of identifying and naming species, and arranging them into a [classification].

On our way to Philosophy we are constantly confronted with Latin and Greek concepts, because Rome and Greece are where many of the concepts in Philosophy originated.

Why not?

Doh! Thanks for the update.

Here are the stats from my MacBook Pro (also mid 2009, 13-inch, original battery):

  Temperature = 2990
  CycleCount = 488
  DesignCycleCount9C = 1000
  DesignCapacity = 5450
  MaxCapacity = 4804
  WearRatio = 88%
  CurrentCapacity = 4804
  ChargeRatio = 100%
  Voltage = 12568
  Amperage = 253
  InstantAmperage = 88
  TimeRemaining = 0:8
  AvgTimeToFull = 0:8

I seem to be missing the InstantTimeToEmpty and FullToEmptyTime data. Reading your script, that tells me the values are "None" but not why that is. I'm also apparently 8 minutes from an empty battery, even though it's fully charged. Do you know why this is?

Yes, Marketing

I'm not sure which one you mean, but the new logo looks great and it visualizes the concept of branches quite effectively.
