It's possible that there's an engineering flaw or issue with new components that underlies the problem. That is a possibility. To deny it is to be delusional. We don't know what's wrong yet, and denying the problem exists prolongs the discovery process
GOOG has 56.52B in cash and short-term investments (as of end of september). It's on GOOG's books but could easily be paid out (either directly or in the form of a share buyback)
Which is not to say that I believe twitter deserves the market cap currently implied by the share price.
They "eventually foot the bill" if twitter doesn't make money. Your cynicism reflects the fact that many companies don't end up making enough money. But there are counterexamples like GOOG where joe public actually did fairly well
> Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable.
major version 0 was specifically designed for this use case
As for conflicts of interest, I prefer to assume everyone has a conflict :) I follow ZH here: http://www.zerohedge.com/node/13972
> The reality is, critical readers should read analytic posts and the rest of [the internet] with the blanket assumption that the author is totally "conflicted." ... This turns the conversation to the content, and away from the author, the author's biography and the contents of their IRA account / blind trust. This (the content) is, of course, where the focus should be.
> * If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on device becomes due. Total for iPad Air 16 GB $630.00
Strictly speaking, it's $629.00 for the iPad Air directly, so in fact this "free monthly 200MB data for life" costs $1
African americans are strictly better off when having the right to vote as opposed to not having the right to vote. Same argument applies for women.
The terrorist threat argument cannot be ignored, and it's plausible to believe that many threats against american assets are hatched in the US and communicated in the US. Likewise, the privacy argument cannot be ignored. So in this case, we have a classic tradeoff.
To put it differently: are you better off dead or with the NSA?

Turns out I wasn't the only one. gettheyayo (dead comment) remarked
> What's more likely to have happened: she lost her way of making money. She charged money and had to deliver. She no longer can thanks to Google.
What are these perceived limitations? There are fairly standard idioms and pure JS libraries for getting around most problems people find
Next step: Java compiler in node

That fact hasn't changed (at least, not until they start firing people)
code937: based on the comments here as well as the comments from a year ago (http://codecanyon.net/item/pure-rich-text-editor-lite/discus...) , it is pretty clear that the OP misrepresented the situation. I wish you all the best as you muddle through this situation.
Your assumption is that the news consumption pattern ultimately dictates where the producers flock, which makes sense in the traditional journalistic business model. In a model where individual users contribute, the key factor is which platform gives users an easy way to speak (and I would argue that twitter has done a decent job at reducing the tweet friction)
