I don't want to be negative, but this seems like a 100% puff PR release. I've never heard of this company and without doing additional research I feel like I still know nothing. Nothing is explained - what exactly do they do (online retail?

Same idea can be expressed succinctly or with a lot of verbiage. Some prefer the former. The point of my post was asking the parent to consider this point.

"Furthermore if John performes #1 with the seat down, the question of the final position of the seat is moot compared to the question of "why is John gross?" That's precisely what I am taking issue with - an implicit assumption that lifting

This analysis misses a very important point - Marsha benefits from John lifting the seat since this avoids it getting dirty (assuming they take turns using the toilet and John is not a very accurate shooter). Moreover, John is probably goi

For example, you can email yourself an apk that of a program that was removed from Google Play and install it (I did this - developer decided it wasn't worth his time to support the app but was kind enough to send me the file). To me that's

Please don't quote anything from RT - it's as useful as quoting Gobbles. While there is a chance it could be true, the association itself makes anything quoted extremely suspect.

It's a 2.6B market for ALL MOBILE ads (of which banner ads are only .86 - http://www.emarketer.com/PressRelease.aspx?R=1008798 ) So in 2014 it will be a 2B market - across ALL mobile. How big of a share can FB have - 20-30%? Still looks li

You seem to conflate [1 - what I want FB to do with regards to privacy] with [2 - what FB needs to do so I trust they won't steal my money]. The two have nothing to do with each other. Realistically speaking, 1 may never happen, 2 is alread

You shouldn't really look at stock price (it's an arbitrary number). You should instead look at Market Value - should FB be worth 80bn when Google is worth 200?

No Because if the company keeps the cash it still is part of the company worth calculation (unless investors expect managers to steal it in the future). Not issuing a dividend is also a signal that the company believes it can earn a better

I would actually posit that they make much less money per user from Opera than IE. Ie the type of individual who would click FB ads (or spend money on virtual gardens) is more likely to use the Windows default browser.

Uggh, no. Let me try and explain. BS is not used as a model that explains how the world works. It's just a formula to convert volatility to a dollar price of an option. But the actual vol surface that people use is anything but Gaussi

Sure, I'll try. Here is an example: Assume that you want to buy an option on Apple stock - 3 months in the future. Assume that price today is $500. If you want to buy an option with strike=500, you will pay 50 vol (BS as a formula will just
