That is a perfectly reasonable explanation, and not what I'm calling conspiracy theory. I'll quote one from a reply to the current top comment. >Google and Facebook are part of the military surveillance complex, it's as si

This needs to be the top comment. Way too many wacko conspiracy theorists in this thread.

Gotta say, it really bugs me to know that people would willingly download a script they don't understand and run it against their private data. Sure the javascript is open source, but how many people will actually read and understand it bef

These comments doesn't make sense for spam (unless their account links to a lot of spam?) I wonder if it's non-english speakers trying to practice their english.

I don't think they're saving money by making an HTML5 version. A slow app means less engaged users who are less likely to see or click on ads. At facebook's scale, that's potentially tens to hundreds of millions of dollars lost on the iPhon

Great to see them doing well. I first heard about the company while exploring different Android ROMs, and the MIUI rom by XiaoMi was the best I've seen overall in terms of stability and usability which cyanogen lacked. Their native apps fel

It's not about whether they can be considered an "upstart" it's about whether speculators think they have the potential to make much more money than they already do. Amazon for example has been around for 2 decades and have a PE ratio of 17
