Some great mentions and a quote from StartPad tenants, RescueTime, in the New York Times this weekend.
Quoted: A typical information worker who sits at a computer all day turns to his e-mail program more than 50 times and uses instant messaging 77 times, according to one measure by RescueTime, a company that analyzes computer habits. The company, which draws its data from 40,000 people who have tracking software on their computers, found that on average the worker also stops at 40 Web sites over the course of the day.
...
“We are hunter-gatherers at the core,” said Tony Wright, chief executive of RescueTime, who is also a member of the new nonprofit group. “We open e-mail and hit ‘send and receive’ to see if something interesting has come in.”

I applaud Google's open policy - but look at the substantial areas of secrecy they still maintain:
- The % of revenue they share with content providers on their AdSense network.
- What advertisers are driving the most revenue through advertising on my site?
- Changes to the search ranking algorithm are mysterious to content providers.
- Reasons for content creators's sites getting blocked by Google. - mike | Shared With: Everyone - 4 days ago | programming, contests

Every programmer should have a copy of Numerical Recipes on their desk. There are so many great algorithms, easy to apply right away to your own problems.
