I remember reading an article by The Economist staring this too – US is (or at least, was) far more willing to take risks when it came to venture capital and investment, compared to Europe.

It's been a long time since I've had a look at Sky; I was just about to comment on how good the offering is on NowTV's Sky Cinema Pass... until I realised that it only included movies. For a similar price with Netflix you get

Momentum would keep them going for a long time but they’d eventually stagnate if they lost the majority of their best workers – look at other once dominant tech companies who can longer get the best talent, even with their deep pockets. Thi

Agree with you on the first part, but not sure on the second – if skilled employees leave (especially for other competing social media apps) Facebook will start to lag. Even with its core loyal employees Facebook can’t compete if they don’t
