    This. All social networks right now have the same problem, they don't know how to make money without scaring the user away. They all have far too much advertisement / costs. They a…

    I personally wouldn't ever trust anything that fails to deliver in three years, however I'm excessively impatient. As all the talkers put it, a startup is about being extremely ded…

    Well you guess wrong, Apple doesn't get much stuff made for them specifically, far less in the PC segment. I.E. they mostly use standard components, and that would be why they have…
