The $41m injection might well kill the company. I've never seen startups with too much capital early on to become the next Google/Facebook/Twitter - you lose your chance to become "relentlessly resourceful"!

Very true, without the power of Microsoft it's hard to maintain that domain name... in such a remote place.. I mind as well just give up. And likewise I searched the government website and none of its accredited registrars offer straight .n

I wonder where the discussion of "murderer" or "Russian mafia" first came up, seems totally unrelated to the incidence and random for anybody to bring it up first. Could be some kind of pronunciation miscommunication like "member" -> "m

So the bombing at the airport wasn't an isolated incident, but a planned attack. What's the motive behind it? Why Russia?

If I were Yelp, I wouldn't be worried - reason: think Google's other failed attempts: buzz, latitude, video (before acquiring Youtube) etc. Google is best at Search, no doubt, but there are certain areas Google engineers just don't get, w
