So many great companies and so many early exits. Great for the VC's and angels - bad for the founders and early employees. And the users. Imagine if Heroku, reddit and others had stayed independent. Facebook got this part right. Reject buyo

"it has recently been netting around $250,000 a day from the game — that’s after Apple takes its 30 percent cut." $7.5 million a month at the very beginning of their hockey stick growth, and they are willing to sell for $200 million? Deal o

'One random guy wins $850 in small claims court from AT&T' - you think that is newsworthy? I disagree. We wouldn't have been hearing about this had AT&T not tried to shut him up. They will learn from this mistake. They just ran into

You're thinking small. Organize a class-action with him as the lead defendant.

You think they are paying a fancy Newport Beach attorney in an attempt to get out of an $850 judgement? Seriously?

On the bright side, now all Google has to do to defend against antitrust claims is link to that post.

Congrats. What was the justification for that price? A certain number of months of earnings? For something that required little work to maintain and produced consistent revenue, that should be 18 months earnings at an absolute minimum. 36+

Pay for a domain name or web development with PayPal and the person flat out scams you and PayPal will do nothing about it. Nor punish the person who stole your money. They'll just quote you the section of their terms that says virtual good

"Nobody is born an ideas person, trust me." I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'born' but insofar as people are 'born hackers' people are also born idea people. The special ones are people who are both.

Lots of people probably turned down Steve Jobs for similar reasons and now have similar regrets. It can be hard to tell the difference between a skilled hustler and a bullshit artist. Perhaps the only real difference is what they choose to
