So all you have to do is start a tech company that does this. When Google knock on your doors, with literally one and half billion dollars of Google stock, you have to say "No".

Would you do that? Could you blame anyone else for doing that?

I couldn't do it, but Snapchat's CEO turned down a cool $3 billion.

It can be done.

Thanks for mentioning about the company. I've never heard about it until now. Surprisingly enough I had to look at Wikipedia to know what they do and further details. Their website currently gives no clue about anything they do but a new product called "Stories", which for newcomers like me means zilch.
