"reconfigurable matter"?

Why do they need me to register just to see a PDF? It's going to be cached on Google soon enough anyway. Needless hassle.

But what if users don't see a difference between a paid link that appears on the first page (via AdWords) and an organic one? AdWords is then effectively the same: pay for placemen…

IPO means that $1BB was the plateau. They waited for this. Time to cash out. All down hill from here. How fast? Don't know. FB CFO probably does. FB business model is display ads p…

You mean the same Zynga whose stock price has dropped 50% in 60 days? Let's assume you are right and I am wrong. Let's assume FB is not "free" entertainment. And in fact all those …

Thanks for your comment. First, I don't understand how "support" is relevant. I never mentioned it. What I'm suggesting involves no pledge from Apple to help me with any of my own …

There was a time before iPods, iPhones and iPads. Way back then, Apple hardware was considered expensive by comparison to the alternatives. Apple is now producing products that man…

I'm genuinely curious, what would you do with the data? Please do not read this the wrong way. I am not questioning what you're doing as improper. I am just curious. Isn't most of …

I agree with you entertainment is a cash cow. But FB is _free_ entertainment. As is your photo-album and the discussions you have with your friends. You appear to be referring to f…

What is the product? Is it the hardware? Or the software? Are you saying they are one product, not two? We've been through this countless times. Microsoft and the OEM's. Apple and …

It's sort of like Facebook having a "Like" button but no button to signal caution. It's a distortion of reality. If everything we ate smelled and tasted "good", we'd die. Because w…

Maybe the ecosystem just isn't big enough yet. Too much of the market is still not yet using Apple's products. Maybe when Apple reaches Microsoft-level penetration, and of course t…

Simons' supervisor commented that he was a model employee for AOL's Palo Alto Office. "Eric was always on time, never late for work."

Maybe he should have brought the security guard on as a co-founder?

"you go to the fridge to get food" Hungry. Get food. How much thinking is involved in that? Do you know what has a very high clickthrough rate on FB, probably their highest CTR eve…

OK, so if your wife says to you, e.g., "Swannie, we need [description of rarely purchased, high priced product]. The old one has stopped working." Do you check the front of the fri…

"everyone is a rational actor" And that's why the message to Harvard graduates[1] (purportedly America's brightest rational minds) makes deliberate reference to a man[2] who has co…

This is the trap. This is what FB employees keep telling themselves everyday. This has to work. It just makes sense. You can keep saying the data is valuable. No one is going to qu…

Sorry dude. I missed the sarcasm, obviously. I just used your statement as opportunity to rant about a recurring issue I see. I probably shouldn't have. It's certainly not directed…

Can you give an example of some sample input and how you want the output to look? I'm stupid and this is the only way I can be sure I know what you're trying to do.

Imagine an apartment. Google is like the copy of the yellow pages by the telephone. FB is like the photo-album in the closet. People generally do not open these two books for simil…

I don't think the issue is his personal financial planning.
