PJ: It feels like I've been waiting my whole life for you to do this AMA! THANK YOU!

You are EASILY the greatest source of hope to me and anyone who also despises bullies, thieves, dealers and other kinds of violent criminals. Best of luck to you in the future and in all your endeavors.

I have four five questions:

1. What does it feel like when you're standing toe-to-toe with a violent street criminal? Like this guy - dude has friggin pythons for arms.

2. If you were offered a reality TV show, would you take it? If yes, what kinds of preconditions might you have?

3. I don't want to reveal your identity, but is there any reason you haven't continued to compete in the MMA?

4. Are you going to release the unseen footage in this fight? By the way, thank you for putting that video online.

5. What do you do for legal representation? I imagine you must get sued pretty often.

Thanks again PJ! You're the best!

Hello Mark, I still can't believe I threw down hundreds on a mobile device. You are an amazing salesperson.

Here's my question:

Have you considered using Pixel Qi or Mirasol color full-motion E-ink display technology? They're both sunlight readable and have tremendously low drain, good durability and are superior to LCD screens in toughness - perfect for mobile needs.

You mentioned that you were trying technologies that mainstream manufacturers have avoided - color eink displays are perfectly representative of this. It's a technology that no one apparently wants to put into a device, despite its potential and advantages over LCD screens.

Another question - how rugged will the Ubuntu Edge be?

Take a look yourself.

Here's a write up on Mirasol

Who owns the gold and diamond mines?

The neoclassical economic literature argues that a developing economy can sell its natural resources in exchange for the factors that lead to development. But in the DR Congo (the most mineral rich country on Earth), it looks like the vast wealth has only contributed to the conflict.

I have been told that the divisions in Congolese society has only served to keep down the price of raw resources. Is it possible that the Chinese, or any foreign nation, have been actively encouraging conflict?

I imagine whatever microorganism causes the zombie plague also optimizes the human body in a way that promotes its spread. For example, cordyceps fungi infections in insects can cause ants to explode in a cloud of spores.
