* How do you deal with failure?
* When will you quit?
* How do you treat competitors?
* What personality are you looking for in the people you hire?
* What's it like to work for you? Why? Is that a deliberate choice?
* What sort of decisions do you make when no one is looking?
"
I would guess that the first question is generally the most difficult. What is failure? Knowing when to quit is another tough one - at what point does failure become advantageous? The last question I think to be the most interesting - who are we when no one's looking?. I need to think these over.

"Nelson and Malone were near Combat Outpost Viking in the hut the second section of Scout Platoon, 2nd Tank Battalion shared on March 9 when Nelson pointed the pistol at Malone and asked if Malone trusted him, according to court testimony. Malone was sitting in his rack listening to his iPod at the time.
“While looking at Lance Cpl. Malone I inserted the magazine, pulled the slide home, a round was chambered and I pulled the trigger,” Nelson said."
Whatever happened to falling backwards with your eyes closed?

"MEXICO CITY -- More than 800 federal and local police have been assigned to improve security in and around Mexico City's international airport after a series of armed robberies against travelers who exchanged money there, authorities announced Monday.
Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Mancera said 460 additional city police officers have been assigned to patrol the areas surrounding the airport. Federal police have added 350 new agents to the airport since December, said Federal Police Commissioner Rodrigo Esparza."

Police officer drives into home; from what I hear he blacked out before it happened. Luckily the house has been on the market for the last year or so. I doubt they'll see many buyers now.

Bloomberg reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Kevin Carey has ruled that Sidley Austin’s lawyers may collect a maximum of $925 an hour for bankruptcy work on Tribune Co., instead of the $1,100 the firm originally requested.
Judge Carey reportedly said in a hearing today that any bankruptcy lawyer who tries to charge $1,000 an hour will need to prove he or she is worth that much. “To the extent that this applicant or any other hits that mark I will require evidence in support of that rate,” Carey said."

"According to CNBC, the settlement calls for Apple to set aside $22 million to refund eligible iPod nano users who apply:
According to a notice sent out to nano owners this week, "Apple has agreed to provide a cash settlement fund of $22.5 million," and for those consumers who did not receive a "slip case from Apple when you purchased your iPod nano, you may be entitled to a cash payment of $25. If you received a slip case, you may be entitled to a cash payment of $15.""
You know the attorneys are taking, at the very least, 25% --- around $4.5 million for the lawyers and $25 for your scratched up Nano. Sounds fair.
