Write like you talk 11 years ago

I feel like us Swiss german people have a leg up here. We grow up writing anything personal in our dialect (a language that doesn't officially exist in written form), so we're used to writing like we talk. I wonder if it has an effect on our more formal, business-related writing.

yay, finally rechargeable!

i'm actually excited about the new trackpad. i have some kind of a weird sensation whenever i use a silver trackpad, a sort of tingle in my fingers. this doesn't happen on the magic mouse's white surface... anybody know what i'm talking about? my friends think i'm crazy.

"Unfortunately, no single member of Congress represents these American constituents who together would rank, if a state, 12th in population size after New Jersey and before Virginia. By virtue of living abroad, they are second-class citizens, paying onerous tax burdens without representation."

Compare this to Switzerland that considers its citizens living abroad part of the "fifth Switzerland" (there are 4 official language regions in Switzerland). They can vote online (in some Kantons/States) and participate in government programs to keep in touch with or learn about their roots. All without taxation.

Of course, people here complain about citizens living abroad voting in local elections... Representation without taxation!

that is how kayak and tripadvisor make most of their money too. Ever notice how photo galleries for hotels on tripadvisor open new windows? they're making sure you have their cookie when you book it on hotels.com, expedia, booking.com, etc later.

> Tumblr's employees will also do well. The company's first 10 employees will receive an average of $6.2 million in cash; the first 30 will receive an average of $3.3 million in cash, and the rest of the 178 employees will each receive $371,000.

Is it usual to announce these numbers for all employees with acquisitions like this?

These premiums actually look pretty good. I was under the impression that non-employer based plans were much more expensive... Is there a catch? Do they have to cover pre-existing conditions in CA already? Are there coverage caps? Thanks for putting together the article, very helpful!
