   My belief is that Google's effort to take on Facebook is simply a distraction to keep Facebook's large pool of excellent programmers from developing a search engine that competes effectively with Google Search. Facebook is the only company

    In the words of Steve Jobs, "It isn’t the consumers’ job to know what they want." But after testing some iPhone screenshots on a 4.0 inch, 800x480 Android display, I liked the look and feel of it.

    Not all of them. A 1933 Double Eagle coin was legally auctioned, and an additional $20 was needed to “monetize” the face value of the coin so it would become legal currency.
