yeah.....i was actually surprised to read that, but it makes sense in an age of open-source. why not give the world your ideas directly......like we are doing here, instead of going through the ponderous filter of peer review.
my best hope is that it crushes the whole peer-review process and allows work in science and technology to accelerate. we are in need of new ideas and solutions that are censored into obscurity by empty little power-brokers.
