Steve Jobs isn't known for his love of the Illiad --- in fact, he dropped out after just one semester of Hum 110 ;)

Danf, the solution to running and falling is to replace the blacktop with spongy grass.

Um. Perhaps someone could add in some links to more recent studies? 2001 is so pre-web2.0 Heck. It's 5+ years ago now.

Apparently the winning app will be written under the direction of... the author of iClip.

A widget.

That stores copy/pastes.

I, too, was looking forward to photos of the fattest man alive =(

Confusion set in for a few moments upon seeing the fittest man alive.

I expect someone will dig up the relevant information myself, RokkitNite, and rhapsodie were seeking.

I first heard this on the ever horrid ytmnd.com. A source viewing reveals an mp3 version. But since it's a dynamicly generated embed, you'll have to deal with their version and their patented age verification system and find the mp3 uri yourself. Should be at the very end.

Seems that most of the tasks currently up involve the trucks Amazon sent into several markets to create photos for their new street level maps.

Doing some quick math... with a real client side application, one should be able to complete about 1 of these every 5-10 seconds or so. Or about $15/hour. Not bad.
