"I moved my primary residence from Silicon Valley to Seattle" Hmm, that's very specific wording there. In my world, filled with tax advisors and lawyers, this translates to "I'm trying to avoid paying California state income tax on capital gains I will accrue in the near future." -- master's prediction http://news.ycombinator.net/item?id=1314487

Is this guy phishing? Why the link to hn.NET? Is that a sanctioned mirror? Why would I need to login again? Likely an honest mistake, but what is news.ycombinator.net anyway?

Every business is for sale at the right price :)

I don't know about that... consider Facebook's billion+ dollar offers. Zuckerberg has turned them down. He's stated many of times that's he not in it for the money. Once you reach a certain level of money, e.g. 10 million or so, much more won't be as life changing. So I disagree. Not all businesses are for sale at the 'right' price. What are other's thoughts?

Dubious. I imagine you could give Steve Jobs $100 trillion and he still wouldn't sell Apple. What would he do with his life? Buy Apple back?

Why does a price have to be monetary in nature? I'm sure that, were it entirely up to Steve, there is something that would make him sell Apple.
