This is hilarious. I started doubting this is random. http://tiffzhang.com/startup/?s=1256537720 "START SPELLING. Spelling. Everyone talks about it but only the truly delightful are able to spell day in and day out. Here at Spellly we understand your commitment and want to give you what you need to take your spelling to the next level." It is hard to tell though whether the audience is dyslexic or spelling bee participants.

In addition to the original info about the Moscow-Nice flight there (http://content.knightfrank.com/research/83/documents/en/weal...) are some more curious stats about Russians: the percentage of Russians of all UHNWIs willing to emigrate (33%), and the percentage of them who send their children to study abroad (61%). Not that the tendency was not known before though.

How do I store global state (if at all)?

It's JavaScript, everything is a global! (so long as you don't declare it with var)

I seems an overstatement to me. I would say it's misuse of iframes and only then adblock.
