Sounds right. They have been the only game in town. Now the only way for that number to go is down as 50+ android tablets flood the market. Whether any of them will rival the iPad remains to be seen though.

No, was thinking of like minded, intellegent, rounded, technology, internet startup founders that are interested to discuss a wide range of interesting topics. If I want to discuss with the general public, yes I would be a member of reddit

Isn't he just saying in a roundabout way, the new elite are defined as rich, educated and successful (rather from aristocracy)? If one is in that position, why would they need or want to relate to the poor and uneducated?

If someone is sending a message don't they either want to send it, or not send it. It is a binary decision. Who has time or patience to figure out how this scheme works and then MAYBE send a message. I say move on to the next idea.

Amazing story. As stated in the article, assuming we do figure out how to make people live forever (or a very long time), Who is allowed to use it? The rich? The fastest? Strongest? Smartest? Everyone can't live forever, there would be t

This is a discussion about India and China, not the West and either. So should India keep allowing expansion of their peasant classes / caste? Should the "untouchables" (lowest caste / class) continue to be allowed to have 7 or 8 kids in I

Yes of course it is possible and will get easier to transfer services. Question is will the 500MM users do it en-masse? FB would have to screw up pretty big for that to happen in the next 3-5 years, in which time, it MAY be possible to bu
