How much do you want to bet that some of those FB employees decided to login by turning off "location detection" flag and in an incognito browser? I would not be surprised. Some of those 9,000,000+ queries and 2,000+ employees mus

Interesting. You are right not new to China but the IP laws make it harsh. At the end of the day, it's all code. Not sure I would ever work for a company that makes you work like a sick man just to get even the with the uneven level fi

In some states, yes. Here in the South, KS, TN, FL (maybe), AL and GA. A lot of these startups... 100M would be a godsend.
