We got to the moon because of massively political support at the highest levels because it was viewed as a strategic necessity. Climbing mountains doesn't seem that comparable to going to the moon. Scientists need…
Sort of neat, but doesn't look very useful. I have to admit, I was expecting a 3D globe view that displayed geographically the intermediate nodes and end point. It would have also been cool if it showed when it hopped…
I'd expect that the layoffs would be centered around the old OS. Anyone involved in the new OS is likely to be safe. Or at least that sounds like a logical approach. I'd expect the layoffs to be around 5% maybe at most…
The problem with WP was the way it was used in Gaza: http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/news/israeli-army...
Very true. Most people don't know but the most controversial weapons that Israel has used in recent years, such as the cluster bombs dropped in Southern Lebanon [1] and the white phosphorous used in the Gaza Strip…

I think my social circle is less active and less dramatic than yours. I guess that means that I am boring and my friends are also relatively boring. I guess different social circles are different and it probably varies…
It doesn't include the hundreds of millions which have been cashed out -- there numbers would look even worse if they included those numbers.
I'd agree exceot for #8, everyone is actually talking about it for once and generally in agreement. It is sort of surreal.
I don't understand why it would stress you out. Can you explain?
It appears that you are strongly implying that I am part of a conspiracy. Can you outline in more detail this conspiracy that you believe I am involved in?
You mean before people started to look into him more closely? I also was very impressed with Groupon before they released their numbers and the amount of shares sold by insiders prior to IPO. More information led me to…
I think that people are aware of the distinction, but they feel that Groupon, while it might have been a "go big" hope, it is distinctly leaning towards the "go home" while at the same time it is trying to IPO. This…
He seems like a smart man, but I also think that his cashing out of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stock pre-IPO doesn't have a good explanation unless he has reservations about Groupon's long-term viability.…
I think that investors should be informed about Groupon and its founders. It is especially important if there are issues with Groupon and its founders. I was actually quite impressed with Groupon initially until I saw…
