If BB pitch is to corporate clients (still) - how do they plan to attract all these devs who certainly don't care about the enterprise and much, much smaller target market.

Our mobile app, we have built native for Android and iOS. We've had a grand total of one person ask for BB and one ask for WP8. We simply have no interest in investing the money to build for something no one cares about.

I doubt you have to worry about that in your mothers basement, Mr. Antisocial.

Plus, those that aren't into the programming aspect of it, move into management of some type. Those that enjoy the programming aspect, will keep their skills honed.

I think the "Space" part of it is a side show to what Virgin is really pushing for.

The bigger goal, IMO is being able to enable flight from the US/Europe to Australia in a matter of hours by a "plane" jumping into low Earth orbit and circling the globe in 2 hours. Imagine being able to "jump" to the other side of the Earth in an 1 hour? A 2 hour flight to China? Australia? Europe?

It takes 88 minutes in LOE to circle the globe.

It would simply be revolutionary. IMO that is the near term end goal of Branson's interest in space flight. I think the "manned space flights" are tangential to what the immediate goals are. Hammering out the science to allow cheap cross earth flights, is simply incredible.

They will just parse up the bill and add it as amendments to future legislation.

They have been paid far too much money by big business to let it die here.

Is this April 1? Oh wait , it is a Chinese entity making the claim, so they care. Stealing American/Euro IP and mass producing it if a-ok, just don't do it to them!

Even if it is a hodgepodge of tech - the simple fact is Yahoo! Itself would have never been able to figure it out, how to build it. That's the problem, large companies can't innovate (let's just assume that Summry is an innovation to keep the discussion simple). So, even though we find it simple to build in theory, Yahoo couldn't pull it off internally. That, that is what to take from this.

No, people have to have two jobs because the govt takes 1/3 of their salary in taxes.

Exactly. Shooting a cop, running, throwing bombs out windows, more shootouts, are all things that innocent people do.

Clearly, calling up the BPD and saying "hey we are the guys in the pictures and we didn't do it! lets talk!" would be crazy

The "lockdown" of Boston is a bit disturbing. But, rest assured the LAPD would have burned the boat to the ground. Boston PD seems to be a bit more professional and restrained.

CNN/NBC/Fox all want to be the first to get the story out. No matter what, for some reason being first though bad info - is good.

Then, they have hours of airtime to fill. So they use unknown "fact" combined with stupid pundits to just fill airtime. It is a bunch of shit in summation.

God forbid Congress and the President do something about it. No, lets hope the Supreme Court, nine old people, figure it out.

Patenting genes, which aren't fucking inventions - is purely insane.

Greenland has a TLD?

Thank you Facebook, I cannot wait!

So, what is this faux outrage we are being presented with? (And I think the ban on porn in general is childish)
