That blog post became irrelevant the day Jan Koum signed the deal with Zuckerberg. Sure, WhatsApp isn't selling ads TODAY, but you better believe it's coming. You don't shell out $19B for a 'defensive play'.

Another non-scientific anecdote here. I attended a talk with maybe 150 attendees recently and the VC asked the audience who had ever used Foursquare. Then he asked who had used it in the past month. Almost everyone had tried the product a

Hi Nextos, First you'll need to identify VCs that would consider funding you. There are some VCs that exclusively focus on reformulations, others that focus on devices, others that do HealthIT, and some that do new drug discovery. If

I listened to a talk by an Aereo exec at SXSW and he made it clear then that there was no plan B. This was an all or nothing fight. Unfortunately the Supreme Court squashed them, but they really could have changed the world had the ruling

You might be right. But our current system is already egregiously abused with minimal cleverness. One can predict with high accuracy a SC Justice's vote on most cases based on the political party of the president who appointed him&#x2
