Great job team. Any plans for an API in the future?

Larry Ellison has put virtually all of his assets into a trust with the intent of giving away 95% of his money to charitable causes when he dies.

That submenu works great on my tablet and phone. Very easy to navigate. I hope it compels Mark and Jacob to reconsider the submenu for Bootstrap 3.

Heck, someone could buy the lot, and turn around and sell them in pieces. You could very likely make more than a million bucks in total.

Agreed. These are sorely needed for enterprise apps.

That sounds like a good idea, but I'm afraid that you'd be left with credit card and insurance companies who could afford those high rates. Your local small mom-and-pop shops would be left out.

I would highly encourage you to talk to your local small business association, as well as your city officials, before you conclude that it's "worth it".

It would also kill several small businesses that rely on junk mail as their only affordable advertising medium (e.g. think Pennysavers).

It looks nice without the gradients, which make the logo look awful IMO.

Number of people who own TVs, cars, refrigerators, air conditioning, dishwashers, microwaves, ovens, appliances, entertainment devices, mobile phones, copy machines, personal computers, laundry machines, among the plethora of several other consumable goods have gone up substantially. Try buying a personal computer in 1970, and see how much it'll cost you. Each device I've mentioned have also substantially improved.

Average employees in a Fortune 500 company: 28,000
($13,000,000-$700,000) / 28,000 = $439

I think that the real story is that alternative investments (e.g. venture capital) have really dried up. Venture capital firms across the valley are having a very hard time raising cash. Groupon, Zynga, Pandora, and the disappointment with Facebook's IPO have pushed away a lot of institutional investors. I don't see capital returning anytime soon until we see some big, successful Silicon Valley IPO stories.

Taking someone else's work and presenting it as your own is okay now?
