The RFP says that sustainability is important. I would think Amazon would consider climate change as a factor. Miami and other South East coastal cities would be affected in the future by the increasing risk of flooding and hurricane winds.

This is mostly a function of ramping up to Facebook scale and is a temporary inconsistency.

Are you saying that wouldn't be a good thing?

Automate this... <stock ticker> <fell|climbed> <x>% on <top company event of the day> - it's still be wrong but at least it wouldn't waste a writer's time.

Re:Facebook shares fall 7% on Oculus deal on Wednesday March 26, 2014 @06:52PM (#7477242)
this is a poor headline. the latimes.com seems to imply causality between the two events when in fact, twitter fell 7% as well. So they could have written "Twitter falls 7% on Oculus deal"

Equity crowdfunding might steal most of new product ideas away from the current Kickstarter model.
Re:Early Supporters of Oculus VR Denounce Facebook Buyout on Wednesday March 26, 2014 @01:51PM (#7475052)
This headline could be auto-generated:

"Early Supports of <startup|product> Denounce <big company> Buyout"

then do a sentiment analysis on Twitter to support the headline.

Building on that I want reporters to ask Christie, "When did you stop believing in American innovation, free enterprise and individual choice?"
Elon Musk is an immigrant, environmentalist, scientifically minded and an entrepreneur. The GOP have to let go of their opposition to the first three and embrace the last even if it's a french word.

Google has been around for 6 years more than Facebook. Facebook will become more of a general technology company.

Expect more acquisitions like this. It only makes sense to diversify.

Social gaming on Facebook -> Play VR games with Facebook friends.

I bet rules that limited other social games from promoting themselves on Facebook won't be as stringent as for Oculus games.

Hardware is how you deliver eyeballs. It's why android was bought. Oculus will be a medium for delivering eyeballs as will Google Glass.

If there was an alternative to google search Apple would default to that search engine. They don't need the billions they make from Google search being in iOS.
