I use spacebar and shift+spacebar to scroll up and down pages. The floating header covers up part of the text so I never get a chance to read it.


Kickstarter does not seem to approve every project. As discovered here [1], there are currently at least 70,000 unpublished projects. For comparison, between 2010 and 2011 they launched 38,000 projects. [2]

Kickstarter projects had a 46% success rate in 2011. But this figure only includes projects they approved to be listed on the site. I have always wondered what percentage they reject. With 70,000 private projects what can we conclude about the real success rate?

"Loeb, chief executive of hedge fund Third Point, which holds 5.8 percent of Yahoo's shares"

"Yahoo, whose revenue slid by more than a fifth last year"

Loeb might just be looking for a scapegoat.


I'm not sure what you're implying. He doesn't run Yahoo. He makes no managerial decisions. He doesn't even sit on Yahoo's board.


But he's responsible for his fund investing a huge amount in a bad stock. He's probably trying to find a scapegoat for that decision.
