Very cool. Gonna help me step up meme game to the next level. Dig the plug and play engine.

If they wanted to, Kickstarter could be one the biggest and best platform for startup crowd funding. They have the infrastructure to capture the promise of the JOBS act/ crowd funding act

Do startups that aren't clones take money from this sleazeball?

The Samwers are bad enough.

This was a Geo-Cities-like price - not adjusted for inflation ;)

Zuckerberg says they are keeping Instagram independent. Anyone buy that? And if so, for how long?

Can someone with experience tell me a little bit about the dashboard AWS provides to clients and why it would be worth paying for an additional service to manage the cloud?

“The process of building software is getting cheaper and cheaper,” said Borthwick.”The production buzzwords of our era — ‘betas,’ ‘agile development,’ and ‘pivots’ — are all an outgrowth of micro-development, which makes it less expensive to build more. As the cost of building and operating software-based businesses decreases, increasing value will accrue to design.”

That's a scary thought, but I don't think developers are going to be commoditized anymore than designers. Web templates are just as plentiful as API

Nice to see Adobe adapting to the slow passing of Flash with interesting tools for the new generation of mobile developers and their problems (device/os fragmentation).

I don't understand why they didn't try to fight this based on the NDA or no-use. Wouldn't a good lawyer be willing to take this on retainer, if they could prove their tech was being ripped off despite the legal protections they signed going into the deal?
