And anyone can clone it, which is the point. If Google decides to launch Gdrive, it would dwarf Dropbox instantly. Whereas even if you were given all of Facebook's hardware and software and staff, but not user accounts, you would have a har

Some people are almost certainly not your revenue-generating customer for your ad-supported social app. People who avoid advertising and social networking are those people. Mathematica offers a non-Facebook sign in. So does Safeway.

"Speculative" is just used to bring fantasy and alternative history and other "what if the world worked under different rules? " material under the same umbrella as lasers and robots and starships. It is not a marker of quality level.

The 60k is about spending. It ignores savings for retirement and insurance again the uncertain future. So, double the number to account for those factors and geographic variance of costs, and where are you? The numbers most middle class peo
