I would just like to bring up the fact that the accounts TimJYoung and crimsonalucard were both created 1891 days ago and are both intently arguing in favor of copyright protections. I don't really have good arguments against them (alt

More capable than 2.4GHz? It's not so much about reflections, but going through solid objects. I imagined the larger wavelength of 2.4GHz dissipates less when travelling through solid objects, but this is hardly scientific. I also read

I think the fact that he started businesses in those fields is somewhat self explanatory. What's so special about paypal, other than it was there for the rise of Internet 2.0 / ebay or whatever? Getting into coal and mobile phones

The family name lineage is definitely important in Japan as well. Just look at all the Japanese companies named after their founder's family names e.g. Toyota (Toyoda), Mazda (Matsuda), Honda. Also, their main form of religion, Shinto,

Ahh...Should have read my own link... They are quite oldschool indeed. Re-branding and restricting the service to games does indeed make sense coming from those days, and Google kind of has an unfair advantage by having so many eyes on it t
