I want to bring in a funny point here. Am I the only one who thinks iPad Air screen is too small (not talking about the quality of the screen, which is excellent, no doubt) for reading documents? I have tried it out in Apple Store; it seems

This short interview is quite inspiring. Here is a choice quote: "I did not bill Intel for consulting hours spent on those aspects of the i8087 design that were transferred to IEEE p754. I had to be sure, not only in appearance and act

This is good because it solves a problem for small borrowers/lenders in a nice way, just like micro lending does, but this would not work for larger amounts. Over the last 10 years, inflation in the US has ranged from 1.5%-4%. So if yo

Let me answer the question you asked, and, then the question that you did not ask. The fastest and dependably assured way to make a million dollars to build a product/service that is profitable and sell it. If you can project annual pr

I did not say that they have 20 sales people for VIP. I said they could hire 20. I also did not say how many customers they have for VIP. I was doing a what-if analysis of sales expenses. What is your analysis? Are they worth $1B? If so, wh

I want to help clarify this valuation. I think it is not clear from the article why Mullenweg (CEO) suddenly thinks they are capital constrained. Let's do some back-of-the-envelope numbers. Their Enterprise VIP service (managed hosting
