He sold 1.6% of his company to Microsoft for $240M. So he's got some cash on hand and could go public tomorrow. I agree this is a little premature, but just because I haven't sold my personal holdings for gold doesn't mean I'm not worth anything. Sure he's a little less liquid because his stock isn't publicly traded yet, but he's still a Billionaire.

I consider a torrent seed file a kickass piece of software.

It won't even get that far. I'm guessing the people that keep breathalyzers out of cars will take care of it.

They included a pen and notepad for an address book. Let's not get too serious about this, it was created by an ad agency. Just let them enjoy their free slashvertisement ok?

please, if there was ever a time to RTFA (and there isn't), this would be it

Who are you to say what is in the best interest of that community? Shouldn't they be allowed the make their own choices? The fire department kept the fire from growing. Nothing happened to his neighbor's house becuase the fire dept kept the fire under control, apparently by watering the fence between the houses. But yes, the neighbor would have the right to be irate if anything happened to his house.

Oh good, I see the trolls who start the email chains that my dad then spams me with have made it to slashdot...

There must have been one of your friends sitting next to me at the movies last weekend because they were checking their phone pretty frequently. How updated do they need to be? Are they updated each centimeter of dialation?

PS I hope your friend is healthy.

Editing out context or timelines can be done. Editing in that amount of douchery can not.

Im about to sell my old G1 to a guy on craiglist for $80, with all the email I got it's clear I could have got closer to $100. I paid $200 for it new over 2 years ago. A month ago I bought the new Samsung Galaxy to replace my G1 for $150 online, which it's clear I'll be very happy to own for a year or two. So the difference there out of pocket is $70, nothing im going to lose my sanity over.

However I agree with you on the monthly bill they stick you with but I rely so much on mobile web at this point I wouldn't want to go without it.

It looks at all their services, and I have used many of them in the past, and some as recent as last year: mail, flickr, del.icio.us, yahoo sports (fantasy football), answers, and geocities. But I can't say I do anymore, maybe I've viewed a few photos on flickr or reviewed a yahoo answer...

$750 x 5,000 = $3.75 Million. Not too bad still. That'll re-coup a quarter of the production costs.

Maybe he just realized how much he has given away.
