climber··on Ask HN: Digital Globe of the World

thanks!

climber··on In 2007, 51% of college students graduated with a job. In 2009, it's 19.7%.

Why is this surprising? Why should college degree imply ability to find a job? Alot of my classmates appear to do little more than drink + party. I know for a fact that I would not hire them. Why would others?

If anything this seems to show that the general market has finally started realizing how worthless a college degree is.

What does it mean that Zuck has 3 seats -- one empty, one he holds, one by Andressen -- does Andressen get to vote as Andressen wishes, or does he have to vote Zuck wishes, or does Zuck effectively get to cast all three votes?

How do these board seats relate to the preferred boat seats?

How popular is it? Do you have numbers on how many downloads it have?

climber··on Apple has made less than $45m in revenue from the app store

If apple gets 30% and makes a max of $45 mil; then all the users together got no more than $45 / 30% * 70% = $105 million.

If this is the case, this seems like a very small market for everyone to be fighting after.
