Damn - I was expecting to see something horrific in your comments judging from all the downvotes (had to highlight to read). What was so annoying about this comment? Relax folks!

There was a minor mention about micropayments by the Russian investor and the way Zuckerberg changed subjects seems to give credence to such plans. If they have some kind of payment system in the works - it could be possibly interesting in

Slave labor is wrong. Dubai is wrong for using it. So is anyone else who does. Norway rightly deserves credit in this regard. My initial comment is from a macro-economic point of view of how countries use/abuse their natural resources.

Good point. I quickly did a google check and UAE does have debt but could not find percentage of GDP figures or how they compare with other countries.

If you compare Norway to the UAE (which includes Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc) while Norway is investing its oil wealth in a sovereign fund, UAE is investing in real estate, tourism and other sectors. Both have rich social safety nets. In this way

Whatever the deal I am ready for some kind of renewal and excitement in the tech scene. Too many economic sob stories for over a year now.

Regardless of the carbon impact of this move, the fact that such an idea was not laughed at and quickly shot down is pretty cool.

If you had replied to Ryan with the thoughtfulness you display here, your post would have come across far better. You are giving very banal advice in a rude way to a guy who is temporarily down on his luck for very understandable reasons. S

I think "Dubai bashing" is in style now. This is not to say that the problems there are illegitimate. BUT, simply bashing everything about Dubai is not a fair analysis either. There are some great things about Dubai such as a relatively pro

This is one of the strangest contradictions in some Muslim countries. And a fundamental reason it exists is because people are too uncomfortable to talk/think about it. It does not help either that their are not too many mediums for those i

Dubai has its problems, but it is far better than many other countries where the natural resources are exploited for the benefit of a select few and the masses are left in extreme poverty. They are smart enough to have figured out a way to

Cool site - I really liked it but it maybe because the featured music just so happened to be in my taste. But I also like the idea of getting paid back for buying music. Very creative concept

For the most part enterprise apps do suck. But I imagine there are enterprise apps that are just amazing. The software that allows UPS/Fedex to deliver packages so efficiently must be fantastic. Or the stuff that powers the supply chain of
