Huh. Intriguing concept. I imagine being in the cloud adds some latency to the experience?


That's part of our secret sauce we solved :) If you are have at least 40Mbps downstream bandwidth (most home broadband), there's little noticeable latency.


That's an awesome idea except that you really want to warn people that it's always streaming. You don't want sensitive info on the whiteboard easily accessible


We are the country where money >> labor. Lets be real.


Have you seen the exodus from Twitter? Most of the senior Mopub team left within months of the acquisition. The CEO left within 6 months. Yeah, I think I'm surprised it didn't slip more.


Seriously, fingerprints is the worst biometric password. Anything you touch leaves a piece of it, if not the whole thing. The fact that it's still being used is a testament to how easy it is to break into various "secure" accounts.

I don't disagree with your premise (that fingerprints are very bad passwords), but I don't see the logic of this sentence. If I were in favour of the use of fingerprints as passwords, I would think their continued use pointed to how hard, not how easy, it is to break them (because otherwise, hypothetical me would think, surely they would no longer be used).


Peter Thiel is the 21st century Koch in every single way. And I feel sad about that. You'd think when Kochs pass, the old era will be good riddance over. But maybe not...


The Kochs are the 21st century Kochs. Peter Thiel hasn't had any major success as a political donor, while the Kochs have been wildly successful as political donors and furthering their political agendas.


I suspect we will always see billionaires trying to buy political direction (see Sheldon Adelson for example).


Or perhaps it is a means to give back to society ? Bill Gates often mentions than the affect of the BMG Foundation is dwarfed by the resources of a government.

Given BG's comment, wouldn't it make sense to use political influence as a leveraged means to improve society ?


a pbs program i watched last night (human development, evolution, and the populating of n. america) was sponsored by the "David H. Koch Fund for Science".

pure evil.


Why does anyone ever get surprised by this? This is the "do not be evil but you can be sly" way. This is what MBAs call synergies!


True. Wonder what other Master's theses that were underrated at publication but went on to be seminal....


Seriously. Govt agents are out of control in this country.


First reaction - Nokia is still around?

Second reaction - They have $200M lying around to spend?

Third reaction - dinosaurs are really hard to kill
