The majority of google searches only hit the first page, but yes, the dozen-or-so ads per page component makes sense. Really each individual ad is then only getting around an $8 cpm. Still quite impressive.

Video capturing app with filters and some social media components. They also had fantastic video stabilization. I'm guessing they're what's powering Instagram's video functionality.

Wouldn't the logic instead be that when they wanted to raise money again that it would be at an IPO-level. Not that this round is necessarily driving them towards an IPO, except in the sense that it's leading them to be big enough

Mostly their logistical advancements. You can rate drivers, you can ask for a driver in advance, you can track the drivers location. They actively plot what parts of town have high traffic, and at what times. This in general leads to a sign

No. There are far more efficient ways to flag people that fit a certain profile. They should have checked all of his belongings and let him go, and not focused at all on his "attitude". That allows for more checks of other suspici

Sidenote: It looks like the sms link routes through a linksynergy url. Is that a reliable monetization scheme for free apps? Does apple provide affiliate revenue if I end up buying a paid app after clicking on the link?

I was under the impression that firing into the air, especially in limited amounts, was generally non-fatal. The Wikipedia article on Celebratory Gunfire seems to confirm my assumption. Deaths and injuries are possible, but usually only acc

You would most certainly be right if there was no context for those pieces of advice, but they're part of a large list that I think paints a pretty compelling picture. Soundbites are also nice because they provide quick reference points and

The rules seem to be that it checks if it's an available multiple of 7 first and then if it's invalid. I initially thought the rules would work the way you have described, but if that was the case, would all multiples of 7 and 3 be off limi

I would be surprised if there is a public school to cover every professional athlete. A quick google returns ~27,000 public high schools in the US. Can't imagine there are that many professional athletes.
