Global connectivity

Watching https://f8.facebooklive.com and facebook talking about solar powered drone.

I had no idea facebook was spending so much of their money on solving backbone connectivity......is it really cost effective compared to deploying 4g towers etc......

Under Armour buys MyFitnessPal and Endomondo

I saw the CNBC interview with the CEO of Under Armour announcing this last week.....I couldn't help but think....do I really care that my clothing company has a fitness app.......

It may be used just to gather names and email addresses for marketing etc.....but do you really think it will be cost effective for them to do this? $710 million would seem to buy a lot of marketing......

Porch.com capital raising


Its still amazing that old ideas can raise the kind of funding involved.

Makes me wonder if we are wasting time “inventing new mouse traps” and instead should just concentrate on old school “effective implementation”.
