Comparing prices in different countries isn't that simple. You have to take into account what that price means compared to wages. Someone in Poland on average ( https://en.wikipedi…

All of my US credit cards have a verification number that is required as well as the CC number for any online transaction. It's not that much different from a PIN. We also have zer…

If your business has improved the lives of tens of millions of people, which Twitch has, I think you do deserve to become a billionaire or multi millionaire. I figure the rewards f…

Kickstarter's terms are very clear that you may receive nothing in return for your money, just like with other investments.

You're definitely confused. Mozilla is the reverse of the described scenario. If Mozilla corp owned the non-profit, rather than how it currently is, then it would fit.

Visa and Mastercard settled so there was no decision needed. http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/press_releases/2010/262867... I believe American Express settled later.

This really didn't work at all. I'm using the latest stable Chrome on a Mac. Roughly 3/4 of the results (there's too many to bother counting) are sites I've never been to.

You can definitely wipe out the entire ChromeOS partition and replace it with some other Linux if that's what you want. Some people do that but it's definitely less common than dua…

It's not that simple. Facebook has two classes of shares. While Zuckerberg only kept 28% of the shares, he kept 57% of the voting rights. So it's still entirely his decisions.

Zynga only had one profitable year in 2010. They have lost $600 million since then.
