Is upgrading Chrome a possibility for you?
I could. However, you gottach realize that the usefulness of the extension also depend in part how well it work on the stable version. Agreed. Chrome 7 is latest stable version. And my system just happen to update to 7.0.517.43.

It doesn't convert anything for me and I still can't send bitcoins.

Ok, next version is up. It will attempt to convert Bitcoin addresses to links which bring up the send box when clicked. It has some limitations and can still get confused, but it should work in most cases. You can still do the double-click to hi-light and right-click to send method in places where it fails.
I'm working on getting ahold of some online wallet services to see about integrating them for a no-client-needed option. Though, unless they can also provide address verification, you'd still need the client to convert addresses to links and whatnot.

Im very keen in establishing this market, my plan is to offer any bitcoin based businesses to purchase shares and publicly establish their shares on the market. Investors would then register at the market site and would be able to buy and sell shares in the companies available on the market. I would have flat share rate for companies purchasing and establishing their entity on the market, something like for 0.01 per share plus a small entry fee, minimum share capital to enter the market is 100.000 shares. I also have found script which could serve the needs and operation of this market, although a few mods will be needed before it could even be launched in beta, and of course the demand from potential bitcoin businesses and investors.
I think people are keen on being an anonymous shareholder and public the use of key cryptography.

PS. Here in France, for instance, 56% of the GDP directly comes from state spending. Some polls showed that 70% of young people would like to become a state employee. And of course, but this is just an impression I've got, it seems to me that as in many countries in the world, the professions that are associated to social success are mostly those who are not related to economics reality (not complying to offer and demand, but to state subvention or direct funding) : physicians, lawers, teachers and such.
Well, it's mathmaticly impossible for everyone to have a 'secure' government job. Protesting, striking and rioting is a result of the belief that the government is the primary source of wealth, and it is only by the greed of the elite that said wealth isn't distributed evenly. There is an old saying in America (and I suspect elsewhere) "there is no such thing as a free lunch". It means that, even if something is free to you, someone has to pay for it. In the case of the French, the government gets the money to pay for public largesse from taxing it's own people. It's a vicious circle, and the strikers are harming the lower classes for the 'right' of living off of the younger working classes for a difference of two years. This is also why you will not see the same kinds of striking in the US, because once we are out in the streets it's going to be bloody. Remember, the French are nuts and prone to collective madness. Gald that they didn't have their own hitler figure. It would be really fricking bad and much worse than the German. The French revolution is an example of French lunacy. They even celebrate it!

Damn governments. Alway thinks that they have the right to regulate everything and anything.

Pphysicians' brainpower are wasted. They should be used for scientific research. Train a diagnostician nurse to do the day to day task.
Lawyers could be useful if they help defend you from evil dudes. However, some lawyers are connected with politicians who make laws for the lawyers to make money from.
Teachers with a "teaching degree" are the most useless kind of teachers. They don't apply the scientific method, look for constant feedback, and generally don't know much else unless they're a professor of some kind. Even so, professors are continuously distracted by the research process and getting grants for their research.

Well, this is all quite true. But to me it is not clear that Kiba was aware that he was selling 50% of his company, and not 100%.
Kiba oviously can't sell his reputation at a huge price as Google did. The only thing he could sell beyond the price of the machine, is his idea and his motivation to make it real. And it is not particularly original. Thus to me, his company worhs very few more than the price of the machine.
It is nice anyway to see such a young person (I think he said he's a teen) interested in venture capitalism. I might indeed be interested. But he has to come up with a proper initial offering.
I am a college student, not a teen.

Bitcoin's law: If a discussion grow longer, the probability of an argument on what exactly bitcoin is increases. Is it money, currency, commodity, or something else entirely?
IMHO, it is both currency and commodity, because it behaves like a gold bullion. Ok but what is gold ? Is it money, a currency, a commodity or what ? Truly gold is a chemical element. Nothing more. Well, in the same way, bitcoin is a p2p network that comply to a certain protocol. If you want to know what is bitcoin, the best way to find out is to read the source code. PS: this is "applied objectivism", I guess Nonetheless, humans knew objectively that their belief about money have different effect on the economy.

Bitcoin is on a rally again! The exchange on mtgox surged to 60,000 bitcoins in the last 24 hours!
MtGox is back in business.
Also, a dollar will now only buy you 5.15 bitcoins. The bitcoin economy is now worth 854344 dollars! We're on our way to a million dollar economy! Yippie!
