   That is pretty much what I wrote here: https://plus.google.com/104656859697947622609/posts/2LHxjAnQ... And yes, I still believe it would really help salvage G+ from the situation it is in right now...

   I hope they're working on it, but like I said, I'm mostly worried about the politics of it. Also, they might reject that idea just on the basis that their interface won't be as simple with this...

   You're right, the name isn't perfect: It actually means that no deal can last more than 72hours. "Have you considered partnering with some well known players to help launch the service?" Yes! After launch, the first thing I'm going to do tr

    A message to anyone still believes the specs have something to do with the success of a tablet, against the iPad: Only two things matter: The price, and the OS. No tablet is even coming close to competing the iPad to this day only because o

    Then it's doomed. Any tablet with a higher price than the iPad fails to generate any kind of lasting interest, I don't see why it will be different here. Which is sad, the Xoom looks like a great tablet.

    True, but it his hard to do a 3 lines article when you're called "Business Insider". I guess TechCrunch will do 10 big paragraphs on the subject.

    You have been "working" on an idea for several months? I don't want to sound rude, but have you ever heard the saying "ideas are worth nothing" ? On the subject of giving up, depends how worthy your project is. If you're a good competitor,

    $50M cash is a fantastic exit for a company created only 4 years ago, with one round of funding ($6M). Congratulations to the team! I hope the guys at IAC won't destroy the brand/product though... I hope their blog OkTrends will continue to

    I'm not sure. PoSV is more a movie about Steve Jobs than anything else. TSN and PoSV both show to the public that "he (Bill & Mark) is not an evil blood/money-thirsty being, he had some opportunities and took them". If PoSV was made a

    I actually find Zuckerberg about as "awkward" as Bill Gates. I think people understand that, well, Mark is a nerd, and his nerdiness isn't going anywhere. So if he just stays nice, and do charitable things, people will eventually like him.

    I would also argue that Microsoft didn't put out Windows Seven on their first day of business. They put out DOS, which they didn't even really create. Try your best to do a simple product, it is hard enough as it is. And you'll get honest f

    Usually, it's the one suing who gets the money. The users didn't sue? Too bad for them.
