Somewhat revisionist it seems from the WSJ, I can't recall any point in the lead up to IPO that they published anything that alluded to problems on the near horizon.

Loving the app, but all of a sudden today one of my streaks went to -4 and another -2 even though I've only been using it for 48 hours... I'll send in an email with details.
A SpySpace style add on for Facebook (a hacked together java/action/?script exploiting piece of code that trapped users viewing your page, their ip, clipboard, etc) would net Facebook a large chunk of revenue as an add on feature.

I loved having SpySpace installed, certainly made MySpace, and trolling friends based off the contents of their clipboards, a whole lot of (somewhat nebulous) fun.

Re:Apple and Valve: Could frenemies really team up? on Tuesday April 17, 2012 @08:41AM (#3852275)
Well, if Apple want to win the [OS/hardware/whatever] war then all they need to do spend a chunk of their cash stockpile and ensure that Episode 3 launches on OSX first.

Or more seriously, if Valve wanted a hardware partner then why wouldn't they work with Apple?

Handy summary. I liked the quick test (4/5) more though!

That apocryphal last comment is irrelevant though as the code bases entire split many, many, versions ago. (pre 7.0)
