Comment on the fund from Google:)

From the book I'm writing:) it turned out very much in the subject:.








In addition, there are separate corporate venture capital funds. These funds are for large corporations. This is particularly developed in the field of IT (Intel, IBM has such a structure ). As shown by my practice, working with them difficult. To this there are two main reasons:.


- They tend to be corporate standards and decision-making process can be much more bureaucratic than in conventional funds,.


- If the classic venture funds pursue only one goal - to make a profit Limited Partners, the corporate venture funds, may have different goals and objectives related to the activities of the parent corporation. It is not possible to build a communication strategy with the Fund, by the fact that the logic of such a fund is not completely clear.


Another feature of these funds is that they often invest in later stages of the life of a startup and as koinvestora, lidinvestorom, such funds are the extremely rare.


In addition, major IT corporations sometimes act as a Limited Partner and invest in the classical foundations.


--------------------------.






Given the experience of those people, who heads the fund and the strategy of Google, all of the above would be to fund more urgent than any other enterprise fund.

Child, and the Troll Jam





Troll and the child looked at each other's eyes rounded with surprise.


- Hi, - said the child.


- Greetings, Children of Men, - said the troll.


At this time, he refused to troll dialect, and passed into the language of Elflandii for something more sublime adverb, to which resorted speaking before the king; language Elflandii troll is quite mastered, but in the homes of this tribe of trolls prefer to talk, and to a high adverb never . At the same dialect at that time expressed themselves and the people: language, there is much less than now, because the elves and the inhabitants of the Earl used the same.


- You what? .


- Troll of Elflandii - responded to a troll.


- So I thought, - said the child.


- Where are you going, child of a human? .


- Home - meet a child.


- We do not want to go there - suggested a troll.


- No, no, - has agreed to a child.


- Let's go to Elflandiyu - offered a troll.


The child thought for a long time. Has happened to other children leave, but the elves are always sent in their place changelings, so that the missing one is not particularly missed, since nobody knew the truth. Girl to reflect on the wonders and wild expanse Elflandii, and then to his home.


- No-o, - the child has decided to.


- Why not? .


- My mother baked roll with jam in the morning - consistent with the child. And solemnly walked home. If it were not trifling accident - Swiss roll - definitely would have left the girl in the Elflandiyu.


- Jam! .

' Primordial fantasy ' knocks the brain).

Social security



- To protect me in other states to the extent that it does not restrict my freedom (if I lose my passport or be faced with another problem, the Embassy should be turned inside out, but to solve this problem - it is, IMHO, just a question of honor ).
- Give me a good federal roads, and in general to ensure normal movement within the country,.
- To ensure my safety, as individuals, within the country by limiting the freedom of criminals, it can break my security.

Of course, there is a constitution and there is much that is written. Yet even in these three wishes, I probably naive. Along with this, I also sincerely believe that:.

- The state is not obliged to pay me a pension, I want to be able to refuse payment of contributions to the pension fund;.
- No one is obliged to teach me and heal for free, perhaps, should be free health care and social school, but for the good work of teachers and I physician is willing to pay than to have now what we have, but free;.
- The less the government will help me, the better. For some reason, assistance from the state never comes up to me ( as well as to you? ) And is more of a mythical character ( yesterday, for example, again, have announced support for small businesses as much as the X billion. euros). Better to spend the money on the road or throw in a savings bank for the issue even predatory, but the real credit.

For some reason I 'm sure I'll be able to secure their own accommodation and the existence of. I am confident that we have the lowest taxes and the most convenient system for the existence and development of business. I am sure that individual errors (which is not thought about it and took back-breaking loan or fell asleep on the move and his legs sawed off the train ) to decide the person or charity, but never state.

Generally, if populist measures to calm the masses would be smaller, perhaps, the road would have been better, and the industry blossomed violent color, and have our ships to Mars would have landed troops. Unpopular measures the system - they are not popular as much as it is necessary that the situation has improved (see. China). But the popular measures aimed at facilitating the life of a certain number of people have never created a long-term systemic effects.

The new server processor architecture-based AMD Bulldozer

server CPU. Interlagos with the number of nuclei from 12 to 16, which will be released in 2011.

AMD introduced some details of the processor architecture of the new generation, under the project name Bulldozer. The architecture will be the basis for the upcoming production of high-power 16-core server processor.

' Processors, based on this architecture will have more cores and run 50% faster than the chips in existing architectures ' - said Dina McKinney, vice president of AMD's processor architecture design. Increased productivity is achieved through greater flexibility in the distribution of computational tasks across multiple cores of the processor.

Bulldozer CPU architecture will be installed in different computers - from servers to laptops. The first chip is based on the new architecture will be the server processor, code-named Interlagos, having from 12 to 16 cores. He is scheduled for release next year.

Until now, the main developers of processors, Intel and AMD, achieved better performance by adding more cores, increasing the clock frequency, or by improving the ability to handle multiple streams of commands (threading) while. Innovation Bulldozer architecture will be an opportunity to increase productivity by combining execution cores in a pair (pairing) and the joint use of components of the CPU.

The increase in speed is achieved by separating the functions of individual components, such as a device floating -point between the two cores, which makes it possible to perform more operations per clock cycle.

Dedicated core are mainly used for common tasks, while the shared components - only if necessary. If processors have fewer components, they can be made smaller in size, and due to the greater efficiency of energy consumption is reduced.

According to test results AMD, processors based on the Bulldozer architecture are 50% more performance than AMD is now produced by 12-core CPU family Opteron Magny Cours.

' Earlier in the development of processor designers put at the heart of the performance as such, but times are changing ', - said Jim McGregor, chief research firm In-Stat.

Now the development of processors taking into account the requirements of new computer architectures aimed at applications such as databases or Web services, said McGregor. Applications have different hardware requirements, for example high performance with floating point calculations and high speed data exchange with memory.

The new processors will allow AMD to expand the range of proposals for the server market and successfully compete with Intel, which dominates in this segment.

' How successful is opposed to AMD Intel? .

In the second quarter, the share accounted for 93.5% of the Intel processor market for servers, while the share of AMD - only 6.5 %.

However, many manufacturers. servers. acknowledge that they are impressed by the cooperation with AMD, so the new processors will find supporters, says McGregor.

Now the family of servers based on Opteron processors produce such. server giants like Dell. , IBM and Hewlett-Packard.

World: the variable star with a tail and spiral cloud





In 1617, 53- year-old pastor, David Fabricius frislandsky was killed in a church. His Prishib shovel man, whom he accused of stealing a goose. A sad end for someone who has done a great astronomical discovery - found a variable star Mira.

Peace is not only destroyed the cherished notions about the constancy of the Universe ( to the dismay of Catholic theologians ), but subsequently proved to be the first and only star with a tail like a comet. Well, the latest news is that it envelops the mysterious spiral structure.
The pastor, who enjoyed this star, to map the motion of Mercury ( later revealed that it was Jupiter), noted that it disappears, then returns.
The discovery, as is often the custom, had been forgotten. Only in the middle of XVII century, the star drew the attention of the Polish astronomer Hevelius, who gave her the name of Peace, which is Latin for ... This became known Frenchman Ismael Bouillaud. He spent the careful measurements and found that the brightness variations occur regularly worlds - with a periodicity of 333 days.
These findings shocked the theologians, who interpret literally the words of Aristotle that the region of stars is eternal and unchangeable. In contrast to supernovae, which shone in the year in 1572 i1604 's, and then went out, Mira returned again and again, as if mocking the Inquisition, most recently, which branded Galileo. Worse than that - variable stars began to open with alarming regularity. In addition, the accumulated information about the celestial sphere that varies.
Bouillaud suggested that one side is much brighter than the other worlds. The real reason found only in the XX century. The atmosphere of this giant star then expands, shrinks, resulting in a brighter it gets, the dimmer. This is due to the fact that the radiation of the star periodically falls into the trap of atmospheric.
Variable stars have acquired great importance for astronomy. One of their species - Cepheids - used to measure distances and is crucial to assess the size of the universe.
And indeed the world continues to surprise. In 2007, the Space Telescope GALEX saw a tail neekometopodobny. As the star passes through the galaxy, its gas is faced with the surrounding gas environment and begins to glow in the ultraviolet range.
More recent observations made by the Space Telescope as ... The spiral may be the result of the star- companion perturbs the gas released by Mira.

A cup of coffee and cold ice


All the love,.
loving and looking for love.
in this world, is dedicated to.
In the wonders to be believed,.
with all your heart, soul and even a cold mind.




Once, when the first snow has covered the earth and the air was filled with the freshness of the winter, this night I had a dream. Brave and beautiful. This story happened to me as a reality.

In my dream I was completely unknown to the young man, brave, strong and at the same time in a refined, aristocratic. With a shock of dark hair and eyes wide open. Sky -light his eyes seemed to me to mother, a warm, soulful.

I caught myself thinking that my incredibly handsome stranger. He seems to have noticed how much it was my confusion, but it did not attach the slightest importance what is happening.

Special, of course, nothing happened, except that from the incomprehensible some inner sense of embarrassment at the sight of a stranger here so spontaneous, I could not budge.
How do I want to run away, hide, disappear - why? .

My body betrayed no longer subordinate to my will, it was dominated by a stranger. A variety of conflicting emotions overcame me at this moment, while I have not owned a situation.

Stranger 's hand touched my back quickly, I jumped in surprise. And again he was not surprised my confusion. With the same tenacity he hugged me even tighter.
My cheeks were burning with rage and shame, the chains of his strong hands did not give up hope of freedom.
Once in captivity, and breaking his embarrassment, I felt a sweet- spicy aroma emanating from his skin. Sensual and dizzying - the smell of a real man.

Suddenly he opened his own little hands behind my back, let go of me, came a welcome freedom.
But why is it not so sweet as a few minutes ago? .
- I came to teach you to dance. This is a very, very hard, but you are strong and able to learn. I will teach you this dance of love and passion, tenderness.
- But....
- Shhh... - he seemed to have guessed that I would object to him and held his finger to my lips - do not say anything. Look!.
After these words he began to show the dance moves, his body is flexible, assertive, as sea pebbles, polished by the sea, dancing draws sketches.
The young man invited him to repeat the. I dutifully complied with some of the pa.

Our dance was smooth, easy. We hovered over the room in which were climbing higher and higher, with my feet never left the floor.

No, no, it was not a room, and large, though the throne, the hall, with lots of huge mirrors and gold decorations on the walls of the Rococo.

Music has not been heard. But we danced with such gusto that sometimes.
fancied a whole orchestra of sounds.

We stopped to take breath, and I realized that I no longer able to remain silent. With curiosity, looked into his big eyes and asked:.
- Who are you?.
- Who am I? . His name I have not talked at all about anything.
He leaned over my face, his long dark hair touched my cheek.
Gently and completely unexpected Andrew kissed me on the lips. Once a child, innocent and at the same time the desire to. As grooms kiss their brides.

Then for some reason we were on the beach. The sun sank slowly in the dark blue abyss of unknown and further.

The sky became agitated, it appeared red stains. A gust of cool sea breeze and ruffled my long hair.

The beautiful ultramarine surface of the water at that moment seemed to be absolutely clear and calm.
Only the wind gusts fast foamed sea, but the waves leveled stubbornly.
It was still fairly light, though the sun had gone far beyond the horizon, flushing green light for a split second.

Wind began to grow, not wanting to give the sea, and has already ripped off the tops of the waves.
My hearing caressing sounds of the sea and the waves of violent attacks on the coastal cliffs. The snow-white sea foam covered rocks lace veil.

Andrew was holding my hand and said something. We walked barefoot through the wet, still noticeably warm from the daytime sun, shining sand.
And the sea flirted with us.
His tidal wave runup, and the water washed away our footprints, sand again became smooth and even.
I was plagued by an inexplicable state of happiness.

I wanted to make this moment last forever, but my thought terminates strong wind. Fog, wind and mixed with sand, steals the image of Andrew.
My favorite disappears, barely audibly hear his muffled voice: ...

Large drops of rain fell on my face. Caught unawares, I woke up.
Dive back to sleep did not work, stay in bed no more force.

Waking up, even more than an hour after that strange dream I could not get over it.

Briefly glanced at his watch, standing next to the nightstand - even late at night. Home sweet sleep.

Quietly got out of bed and tiptoed to the window came up. Outside the window, as before, it was snowing. The serene and light, fluffy flakes, he wrapped up the fields and woods, and on this snowy whiteness shone all around.

I felt lonely: perhaps, for all his twenty-five years I did not think about it, just do not have time to show their purely feminine weakness.

When there is someone who is ready to support this very great weakness, it is already not a weakness, and joy.

Despite the fact that one I've never been, the lack of spiritual kinship with all of my former lovers has now become evident. I think many young women have experienced similar.

As time passes, and sometimes I will remember that extraordinary dream. And how could I forget it, so distinct and clear.

But apparently, there are miracles in life, except as may be called anything that happened more.

Once I watched something on television and, not wishing to look more, automatically switched to another channel.

I was watching it from the screen, the young man from my dream. Lips, eyes, hair - all in a dream. The similarity? .

He smiled and sat in silence, until the judge put it deserved vying for the evaluation of performance.

A few minutes sufficed essential to know who he is. my.
visitor's dream is the same as in a dream, the name - Andrew. He was a skater, a virtuoso master of his craft....

Now that I knew who he was, I was not difficult to find it. Maybe for someone to Moscow and the big city, but not for Lovers. Strangely, even sounds - ...

At the briefing in the editorial, I immediately told the editor that I wanted to write a short article about an obscure but very talented skater.

About Andrei little was known: five years ago was involved in figure skating championships, won a pair of silver medals, and, as often happens after the excessive hype over time was forgotten. Prior to the invitation to the popular television show last years he lived and worked in the U.S.. And not a single interview with the glossy publication.

Editor in Chief, having learned so meager biography of my hero, frowned, sniffed his nose a few times, muttered something, gave up and agreed. In the two years of my work in the magazine, he learned to tolerate my weird antics on articles, and trusted journalistic intuition.

On the next morning I was at a Moscow skating rink. Among the ... Of course, it was Andrew.

He was warned about the visit of a young journalist. I stood and watched as the skaters train, and waited for my hero.
He was about to drive up to the podium. With the anxiety and anticipation of something unusual was thinking about it. Unparalleled sense of the unknown.

Suddenly my cell phone rang. As luck would have called Deputy. editor. I just was not up to it! .
Maneuvers with the phone were not in vain: Andrew disappeared from my line of vision.

And then someone gently touched my shoulder, I turned.

Before me was Andrew. When he came to the excitement, I decided to explain the purpose of my coming:.
- I - journalist. I would like to talk to you....
He did not let me finish the last word and interrupted.
- Do you?.
I was confused by this treatment and the question.
- Hey, we never could before dating? .
laugh at me, but I saw you in my dreams.
- It does not happen - with irony in his voice I said. Only the telltale heart ached from the injustice and my self-restraint.
- Sometimes, even as it happens! .

We both laughed so loudly that everyone at the rink with a surprise.
looked in our direction.

An hour later we were sitting in a cozy little cafe, in which resounded heady aroma of roasted coffee and freshly baked muffins.

Thanks to the early hour of half-empty cafe look. We do not want to attract the attention of others, and I chose the long table near the window.

Finally we were able to start the conversation. We drank coffee and ate Arabic oriental sweets with almonds. We talked a lot about Andrew: his childhood years, the first steps in amateur sports. About life in America and a strong nostalgia for Russia: how often he lacks traditional Russian culture, life, frosty winters, Moscow streets... He even began to recite poems with great sadness Brodsky in his eyes and poetry.
At half the poem, he paused. He sighed heavily and took a sip of coffee.

We were so warm, calm, together. Andrew touched the hand of my hand. I guess I wanted this. Very willing and waiting.

Looking at Andrew, a romantic and enthusiastic, I do not feel lonely.

The world has some bright, busy, exciting. Not alone and a stranger, and woven of fine. That's why it was that a dream come true, or because everyone sees love differently? .

All previous thoughts were so small, there is nothing contrary to love. ...
And outside a small cafe began to snow again, I was no longer cold, I no longer had a....
