$10B? That's awfully large, and closing the door on a lot of ideas. What if you just want to solve an important problem by selling a product profitably and don't want to grow to enormous size? I guess you look somewhere other than

They buried the lede, and put half of it in parenthesis: "In 1994 the average North American office worker had 90 square feet of space. By 2010 this was 75 square feet. (Executive management gained floor space over the same period, acc

Date posted: December 23rd. Enough to tell you the NSA would love this, as pathetically obfuscated and incomplete as it is, to be ignored.
