Why didn't you just click on the 'x'? I did not even notice it, and thought the article was well worth the read.

Even if you want to sustain for your family now, a start up could possibly make it better for them in the future. That's a big problem with the Maslow's hierarchy, as it doesn't account for planning into the future.

I like Instagram because it feels less serious then Facebook. When I upload something to Facebook, it feels like it has to be something good. On Instagram I can just post whatever picture I want, doesn't really matter that much. I do also not have any relatives on Instagram, which is quite nice. I think that might be one of the reasons why many like Instagram over Facebook/Flickr (or maybe it's just me that reason that way).

In Swedish you usually say "forka", "pulla" thus making the English verbs into Swedish forms, works quite well.

It seems like you didn't want to pay to have the best engineers or you advertised the position in the wrong way. To be honest it feels like you believe you are entitled to have the best while not having much to offer in return.

Tel Aviv is probarbly larger than Stockholm though.

The Swedish definition of "metropolitan" area is skewed, it consists of several cities and according to wikipedia its 6,519 km2 that is compared to Tel Avivs metropolian area of 1,516 km2. Still Tel Avivs has a metropolitan population of 3.4 million people compared to Stockholm's 2.1 million.

The article missed Tobii, which this year got a $20 million investment by Intel, and has raised over $50 million in total. They're making a very cool eye tracking product that you (among other use cases) can use to control a computer with your eyes.

I thought that was exactly what the article tried to imply.

From the article: "But today, in another one of those unusual political coincidences, Cambodian officials announced the “strengthening of bilateral ties” with Sweden – along with a $59 million aid package sweetener."

With HBO Go you must have a subscription to HBO the cable network, but this Nordic service will only be online. I think that is what is new about it.
