it's $172 on mtgox, went up another $20 today. This is not a natural movement. This thing is a bubble that can pop any point, but at the same time, I won't be surprised if it goes to $1000 first. Like the .com bubble, you just hope that you

How about an experiment. Subject a group of people to violent video games and knives. Give another group of people automatic assault weapons. Create tension in the group over the course of a year, and see how many people get killed.

I'll wait to see what the feedback is, but my first thought, at least for nyc, is that why would anyone want to use this? Unless the truck is a couple of blocks away, it'll take a while for the truck to get to the user requested location. I

it's really amazing that chrome has gained so much traction. It wasn't too long ago that most people thought firefox had pretty much the market for browsers, with internet explorer being legacy software. Even though chrome has a very sparta

that's true for any task that is mostly bound by intellect rather than something else. The cab driver can only drive so much faster / better than everyone else because he is constrained by the traffic and the car. In the case of pure intell

another view of the objective of the 15% tax is that Blizzard want to encourage people to leave money in the game, and not use the game as a money making machine. Sure, it doesn't stop farmers from making money off of the game, but if they

oh right, I'm sure Kevin Systrom had a hard time deciding on taking the offer because of the price. Considering that he just had valuation of 500mm, and no current revenues. It's hard to see how anyone can justify a high probable scenario w

it's not a bubble, it's not a bubble... Can anyone make a case that paying 180mm for a drawing game makes rational financial sense? Of course, Zynga probably paid with it's overinflated stock, so it's more like AOL buying Time Warner at the
