I may agree that Facebook is ultimately undervaluated, but : "If it was a country, it's the third most populated one. Name me a country that has a GDP lower than $50 billion" is the most non-sensical analogy I've seen in a long time.

It's probably because the project itself is not interesting (to you). Try to do something else if you have the choice, or try to make the project interesting if you don't. The last one is harder to do.

Having searched for mine (zookshop.com) for weeks, I sincerely wish you good luck. Also, you will notice at some point that 99% of \d{1,4}shop.com is registered in China and parked. What's up with that?

At least. Some numbers. NOW the debate is going to be fun, with some numbers to play with... So let's see... Google is valued at $195B, and had a profit of $6.5B in 2009. 6.5/195 => 0.033 Apple is valued at $306B, and had a profit of $1

Unless people are able to walk around the city to show friends (or anyone who would listen) how cool they are with their Kinect, it won't be Microsoft's iPod. Or the XBox was already Microsoft's iPod.

The "glass half-empty" people call it reinventing the wheel, we call it "improving and bringing the wheel experience to a whole new level".
