   Yes. Google too. That's very rare though. Even still, you have to expect those investors to demand attention to the current value of their investment.

   This seems to be a little bit of golden rule, right? How would you feel if someone hired away one of your best employers? What if it was a close friend that was doing the hiring? Or an important business partner? Would it suffice to say

   I suspect that it did have to go through some kind of PR person at Facebook, and perhaps wasn't even written by her, but I still like it. Most companies couldn't turn a response out to a non-crisis so quickly. It highlights agil

   Once you take outside money, you have to give up the sense of purpose if it conflicts with collecting money. This is more an issue of optimization versus long term vision. Some firms can act like Apple, ignore feedback, and invent the futu

    There is most definitely a moral hazard. Look at parts of Florida that have to be rebuilt year over year at the federal government's expense.

    Is the issue that it's very difficult to come up with a universal popularity score? It seems like they were trying to find the clique that rules the high school, when in the real world we listen to different people for different thing

    The question on Microsoft is really what type of games... Is it $50 a game, or free games with lots of social upgrades? Either company could also do things like putting you ringside at a football game.

    True - it's about an early right to buy the product, not the company. I have to keep reminding myself that. Do the kickstarter participants feel the same way?

    I'm very impressed with Estimize. I wonder about Mergerize - could this be used as a Mosaic [0] whereby investors can defend themselves against inside information claims? If so, they will get lots of corporate users as well as individ

    This seems like a theoretical argument. From a practical point of view, isn't there just enough anonymity that people won't report it?

    My inclination is that it shows whose pockets the politicians are in. If you think they're a "loser" then you are pandering to Detroit and their unions, or the auto dealers. If you aren't in their pockets, it's ea

    It's also that many enterprises are afraid of startups. There are rational reasons for both organizational and personal risk aversion at large firms.

    That's how they described it to me. It was "We can do this, or charge your company a fixed fee per person." I still didn't like it.

    The real question is what this will do to other Kickstarter campaigns. It highlights that you are not buying a share in a company. The savvy early adopters should realize as soon as outside money comes in, the company is headed to the hig

    When you have kids, your internal Wikipedia gets an update. :-) I had no idea about the rings until I read a book about planets to my kid. Then he started telling me that there were other dwarf planets besides Pluto. I told him that he

    I have to admit that this excites me a lot more than Oculus and Facebook, even if the latter will have a more immediate impact on my life.

    I was just pitching a client that was on IE 8. D'oh! Very hard to keep things working on older stuff. That said, it seems very surprising that overall usage of IE was so low. I would have thought it to be at least 20%.

    Awesome idea. The fees on 401Ks are awful. My company has fees on index funds 4 times the competition. When I asked why, I was told, "Because that's the only way we can make money." Umm...... Fidelity does fine with 1&#x
