Embrace the net or die.

Well said

I think the Internet has done that already. Peer reviewed now represents a much larger critical constituency.

Terrible news. Kathmandu is only 40 mi away from the epicenter. That city is extremely dense (1mm+ population) with poor infrastructure. Hope the damage isn't too bad.

Actually it does..it's just not sustainable under its current incarnation. The buzz factor is real and meerkat team have earned brand equity that can be used for countless other projects for years to come.

Crocodile tears have been shed.

The tag line "Get your 30 minutes free server" is extremely confusing.

Do you mean to say "Get a free server for 30 minutes"?

Fantastic resource. I could easly spend hours browsing.

Sounds this will tie in with their plan to build a phone carrier service. Exciting!

Efficiency at its finest.

Wow.. This might go down as one of the worst decisions of the decade.

That's friggin awesome.

Agreed. Misspelled brand identity is the equivalent of a shaky foundation.

The market will decide. Numbers usually don't lie.

G+ is underrated. Would be the best social network now (technically) if it was run as stand alone entity without googles name attached.

Cotton candy Doesn't run windows.

Stack Exchange should spinoff a teaching/bootcamp division to tap the education market.

Nothing can stop a persistent threat. This version is supposed to slow down threats without being annoying to 'real' humans. Prefer v2 over v1 all day.

Horrible policies like this are the reason Spain's unemployment rate is at 25%. Short sighted bull headed.

It's criminal that bad guys get the luxury of learning while innocent children around a majority of school districts don't. We also spend 5-6X more annually housing inmates. Really strange decisions.

Up next.. Power assisted Launch from the moon with reentry landing on MGM Las Vegas. For tha win.

Tor is so useless for regular browsing. Nearly every site flags your IP as source of spam making the user experience poor at best. I can see how tor is useful in some instances but for 90% of web activities it's more trouble than its worth.

Whoever thinks that is mistaken. Without an active sales strategy your business is a hobby.

Hi thank you for the pointer. I will check it out and ping you as needed.

tl:dr - balance your mind and body.

Interesting choice for the featured image.

Horrible initial pricing strategy with equally terrible subsidies. It's like they positioned this product from penthouse to outhouse in less than 90 days.

The very nature of the S&P 500 would exclude it from such a comparison. VC funds are targeting startups not established entities. To make the S&P 500 list you have already achieved a significant balance sheet through years of tweaking /improving.

The return comparison is unequal.

A better barometer would be cash on cash returns but with vc funds that may be difficult to track.

"Wired" is essentially referring to genetics. ~ 8% of our genomic lineage is that of a virus. Negativity is just the manifestation of an innate human pathogenic desire to cause harm. It's just nature working its magic.

It's amazing how apple will basically sweep this under the rug thanks to its perceived brand trust that it's earned over the years. Pretty impressive to see from a marketing perspective.
