Mendel Rosenblum is one of the founders of VMware, chief scientist, and husband of VMware CEO Diane Greene.

Steve Fossett, Jim Gray… Atlas Shrugged?
Amazon has started a Mechanical Turk search for Steve Fossett, like they did with Jim Gray. If you have a few minutes please head over and look through a few photos.
