It also takes a lot of pressure from you and maybe distracts from building the company. On Wallstreet they call this "fuck you money".

A founder who believes in his business, will never cash out early. period. He would always get more after an IPO or exit. So why would he? I assume the founders are not stupid, they know their valuation is not justified.

The financial crisis killed this project for Porsche, but the background is very difficult. In financial terms this didn't matter. The funny thing in this whole Story was Ferdinand Piech, he has full control over VW as head of the board and

Well i don't expect them to do it instantly, but just "never" deleting anything is what bugs me. There is no necessity to change backups, just to remove it from the current database and when the last backup is outdated it is gone. You can't

Unbelievable: http://europe-v-facebook.org/EN/Data_Pool/data_pool.html They delete sh*t, if you delete your posts they don't remove them from their databases. This makes me really angry, there is a reason why i delete this stuff. I can't

When they don't save it there is nothing to get. They have a policy to remove personal data after 3 months or so.

I don't understand what they want? Who asked for this text wall? To be honest, 99% of the time i just check for new messages or use the chat and don't care about anything else. There may be a lot of people who care about this stuff, but how

AOL is the best example and they are in the same market. IBM, Apple without Jobs and i think Microsoft's stock correlates also to these indicators. The economic theory behind this is very good explained in this TED talk: http://www.ted.com

They are scared and this is the motivator for their decisions. A company can't act like that, this will lead to a downward spiral. This is a common behavior of companies who are over their peak. There is a record of companies who tried to b
