...countries that their natural resources won't be accrued for the people living there. We saw that firsthand in Bolivia. We had been trying to convince the government to produce natural gas, liquefy it and ship it to North America, but there was an uprising, and the President got thrown out of office. At the end of the day, the commodity is so important to countries as a revenue source that it will eventually move to market. We're just going through a step change as to how countries get compensated...
...argue that it is unfair that large Houses and those with spacious common rooms, like Quincy and Currier, receive a disproportionate number of grants. While this may be true, the party fund best serves the campus-wide community by ensuring that a roughly equal number of parties are thrown every weekend by students who are genuinely enthused about throwing them, not by trying to space parties evenly throughout the Houses...

But big media companies had already established connections before Google came along, and so far the amounts of money Google offers content producers are paltry compared with what gets thrown around in traditional media. This is especially true with online video, where nobody has really figured out how to match ads to content. YouTube, which Google purchased for $1.65 billion in October, took in just $15 million in revenue last year--less than the cost of making two episodes...
