    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

Joshua Cohen, formerly Stanford, now at Apple, will take up part-time post at Berkeley

The political philosopher Joshua Cohen, currently at Apple, will take up a part-time post as Distinguished Senior Fellow in Law, Philosophy & Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley, effective July 1, 2015, where he will spend one day each week.  From Sujit Choudhry, Dean of the law faculty at Berkeley:  

The centerpiece of Cohen’s engagement with Berkeley will be a workshop that will bring in outside speakers to present works-in-progress in legal, moral and political philosophy. The workshop will alternate between the School of Law’s Kadish Center and the Social Sciences Matrix in the College of Letters and Science. In addition, Cohen will serve as a member of dissertation committees in our Jurisprudence and Social Policy program [in the Law School], and in Philosophy and Political Science.
