50 Cent (diluted earnings per share)
Hip-hop Portfolios

The new king of hip-hop wealth [50 Cent] banked $100 million after taxes on one deal alone when his stake in VitaminWater's parent, Glacéau, was bought by Coca-Cola as part of a $4.1 billion deal. 50's portfolio also includes the popular G-Unit clothing line and record label, plus films, videogames and a slew of platinum albums, including last year's Curtis. Also in the works: a mining partnership with South African billionaire Partrice Motsepe.

Nothing on the Schedule Today
NASA is paying people to not move (well, as little as possible) for 90 days in a controlled environment so they can study the effect of long-term immobilization on the human body.

Dropbox
Ok, they win some word of mouth.

I signed up for the Dropbox beta ages ago and got my invite today.

I really like the idea and the implementation is pretty slick. If anyone wants to try it out, I have 10 invites.
