I can imagine what the author feels - "I did all this work and people are complaining about the colors!" :)

The comments about the colors are valid.

I once worked on a fairly complicated hardware (video encoder) that took over a year to develop, and during an important demo, the most comments I got was something about color of one of the LEDs. It was annoying to hear those comments back then, but it has made me wiser about looks being an important aspect of a product. Aesthetics are important (at least for others :)).

I agree the comments are valid. They are all constructive criticism rather than plain criticism and I appreciate people taking the time to make them.

I hope people do look past the cover (which I will work on improving) and read a few of the chapters. And ultimately even listen to the lectures which I have found to be a very inspirational resource. Thanks again to Stanford for providing it.

Merry Christmas and thank you for the book.

:) Great attitude towards feedback. Work on the colors!
