3) You can do a really good take, but if the animal doesn't get it right, it's no good. But you can do a sort of okay take, and if the animal gets it right, then that's the one they use. It's not always easy.

So, no different from working with Nick Frost?

One of the most dismaying modern cars is that they all seem to be black, white, grey or silver. Basically not colors at all.

I really hate that. We need more cars that are green on the outside!

More than two, but the basic idea is right. They have at least three organizations in each region where they operate. The health plan companies and hospitals are non-profit, the medical groups are for-profit.

I don't know a lot about their operations, but from what I gather the medical groups bill the health plan for patient care (and patients for anything not covered), and the hospital group bills the medical group for use of their facilities (including local medical offices). Presumably this setup lets them engage in profit sharing within the medical groups and so helps to attract doctors while still allowing a non-profit charitable organization to run the hospitals.

I'm a little conflicted, as I really like the idea of the product and would love to have one, but at the current price it just doesn't make sense. At $650 for the NUC you could get a PS4 and Xbox One for the same price, and you'd still need RAM, SSD, and OS. Obviously the NUC is going to be more flexible in what it can do, but it seems like an odd price point to aim at with a mini system aimed at the gaming crowd. Do you see this as being a desktop replacement, or more of a living room entertainment device that can also be used for general computing? Was $650 for the barebones system the target from the outset, or was that just where you ended up once putting in the features and performance level you wanted?

Let's keep this about swarms, people.
