G is for Google 11 years ago

Britain has a 100% english speaking population and ridiculously high education and cultural standards. How many British CEO's run powerful companies?

The fact that middle/lower class Indian-born and educated individuals are now running corporations with the size and impact of Google, Adobe, Nokia, Deutche bank, Pepsi, Microsoft and the likes is just down right stunning. They've broken through cultural, racial, societal, stereotypical, psychological and economical barriers at an extreme level to do so. This needs to be academically investigated.

Nope, still pretty surprising. China, Brazil, Russia are all humongous populations - dramatically fewer reps than India.

Because you're not buying features or consuming what you're buying through the app.

Is Amazon supposed to give 30% of all purchases made through the Amazon app? ofcourse not. If Amazon made additional search features an optional upgrade for the app, I'd imagine Apple would want a piece of that.

At some point the focus shifts and diverts away from the story to the presentation.

While impressive, I'm a little uneasy.

Over-valued companies will have to take down rounds - employees who joined late will get their options roasted. A large number of small and new VC funds will get wiped out. This time, the difference is, its the professional players that get hit (VC's, institutional investors, hedge funds etc).

Last time, tourist investors (newbies and the lay man) invested in stocks that crashed. Private huge rounds are protecting the tourist investors by virtue of lack of access.

Finally! This beta has proven beyond reasonable doubt of their reasoning behind shuttering aperture.

In love! Phenomenal product, this.
