“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.” - Steve Jobs
Just look at the CPU (Cost per user):
“Instagram has 35 million users. When Yahoo bought Geocities, it had just more than 4 million. Instagram cost Facebook somewhere around $30 per user. Geocities cost Yahoo a stunning $830 per user.”
Though $1 billion might sound pretty crazy, it’s only 1% of Facebook’s market cap. Thwarting future competition while simultaneously absorbing new/better technology, for a relatively cheap price tag. Well played, Facebook.

Which is worse? the rigid and extreme standard of beauty in the U.S. and the way that women’s bodies are exposed to scrutiny or the idea of living underneath a burka that disallows certain freedoms, but frees you from evaluative eyes and the consequences of their negative appraisals.

With great freedom comes great responsibility. Like the responsibility not to print this .PDF and wave it at the Tea Party event Mitt Romney will be attending in Milford, MI at 7:00 pm. We’re grownups, folks. Time to act like it.
