    sure. the line that was toughest to swallow was this one: "In a market where ­speed is critical, venture-capital funding allows young companies to move faster than they could if they had to rely only on revenues to fund product development. Entrepreneurs who understand that tend to stick around to make plenty of money later" really? do they really stick around to make plenty of money? sentence 1 may be true, but that doesn't make sentence 2 true. i couldn't finish the article. here are a few more choice phrases: "Many promising tech companies place too much emphasis too soon on the business rather than the product" "Most entrepreneurs are creative and impatient, an often fatal combination—trying to do too many things, they spread their tiny companies too thin" it's just not my style of writing. at all.

  For some reason it's written as if the author assumes his audience is filled with disdain for Mark Zuckerberg. Or the author is. It's hard to tell. A deep, petty, and deeply petty disrespect seems sort of strange, given Facebook's ubiquity and general good decision making.
