Its not just AT&T, its 4 groups working together including Commendo(http://www.commendo.at/), Pragmatic Theory(http://pragmatictheory.googlepages.com/), Yahoo Research(http://research.yahoo.com/), and AT&T Statistics Research Team(http://www.research.att.com/%7Estat)

Agreed. PragmaticTheory team deserves a special commendation since last month they developed an enhancement that was included into the winner's submission and pushed it into the #1 position. Read about PT on Wired: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/06/1-million-netflix-pri...

There exists a mysterious group of HN members, appointed by PG, who have admin abilities. They kill submissions, edit titles, etc..
