Long time..
Well, been caught up in the paypal project and boy! is it interesting :)
On a completely different topic, came across a piece of interesting trivia while reading about the page rank algorithm in wikipedia- Apparently Stanford got 1.8mil shares from Google so that they could use Larry Page's algorithm (the patent for which was, of course, granted to Stanford) and sold it for $336mil in 2005. And I thought the 250 bucks I spend on each hour class at Carnegie Mellon was ridiculous!
