'The young are still building their social graph and can be more open to new things. So all those things that tie people to Facebook won’t be relevant to kids growing up today.'

I agree. Was talking to a 9yr-old yesterday and he didn't know what a playstation was. Thought he was kidding at first.

I don't think fb can be killed anytime soon though. It's just so big. Migration of half a billion people to another social networking service can't be simple.

"Once you're Apple and you have a bajillion dollars, you can afford to polish the insides of your battery cases"

hilarious. and spot on. thanks.

We used alibaba to order foam surfboards from china. Even with proper design specs, it still took 3 shipments before they got it right. Things just get lost in translation sometimes. Finally got it in the end though. I guess tshirts will be simpler.

It does look like startup hovels. Maybe StartupShovels.com would be better?

No tomorrow means a limitless today. Read everything here, forget about it, then do absolutely anything you want until you die. Between now and then, you might find something to live for. Happy journey my friend.

Build something better and easier to use and i'll dump Apple, buy your product, and be your number one cheerleader. I was simply trying to convey my surprise that an action totally unrelated to everyday everyman computer use only took a month to become, for me, a reflex.

The only thing you can do with a bread maker is make bread. With an ipad, you can connect with your social network, read, play tons of games, watch almost anything, just be constantly online. And maybe, someday, we'll be able to use it to make bread as well.

I lent mine to a 13-year old kid from a small provincial town in the Philippines and, within an hour, it was like he'd been using one his whole life. And I couldn't steal it away from my 62-year old father while waiting for a flight. And I do remember both of them smiling. This thing is absolutely amazing.
