On the demographic map of respondents, you say England when you presumably mean the UK. There is a difference!

The headline and tone of the article implies that they have evidence of some underhand or nasty behaviour by Sandberg. But there is none - having the political intelligence to make the most of a photocall does not make you a bad person.

For frequent flyers, FlyerTalk is excellent. It could also be described as the birthplace of WhatsApp, in which one of the co-founders asked for 'thoughts on my free iphone app'[0], which is amusing in retrospect. [ https:/&#

"There will be no content club in my life time with $4 billion revenue...you are on drugs if you think that". Netflix revenue last year was $11.6 billion. Fascinating interview.

Funnily enough, I had a meeting with Nick a few months ago (about Brexit) and he mentioned being out in SV as part of work his organisation was doing. I suspect that may have not been the full truth.. His organisation, Open Europe, employed

Sorry I should clarify - not that much cheaper than private hire taxis I meant, ie Addison Lee.

Uber aren't profitable as it is (and their prices aren't that much cheaper than taxi's in the UK - so they can't just price hike without losing large numbers of customers). I assume their strategy for profitability now,

Uber in the UK's prices aren't that much lower than standard taxi's, and they're not profitable as it is. The strategy now must just be taking VC money until driverless cars are legalised.

It'll be interesting to see how they integrate LinkedIn with Yammer (if they do at all). Particularly with the launch of Facebook at Work recently too.

I was in Berlin earlier last year and I was surprised at just how excellent the taxi's were, especially in comparison to the UK. As you say, all clean, high quality cars.

While I share your sentiment, the case with MS was different because they were coercing hardware manufacturers into not bundling Netscape by threatening to revoke their Windows licence. Google aren't revoking access to their other, pri

The article mentions that the seats flip up when the passenger stands. (Note: this means they should never actually be in the position shown in the render).

I think that's generally the rule. The more successful the startup, the larger the stake the founder maintains due to being in a better position in regards to VC rounds.
