There was a YC company in W12 called Grouper that basically implemented all of the grab-bag of ideas. It was a 3-on-3 blind date at a pre-determined spot. Each person had to pitch in $20 to participate, which meant $120 revenue for each date. It seemed to be going well - I wonder what happened to them.
I don't how I can disagree with you more.
Recently went to an open house in Hayes Valley. Asking price 2.595 million. Checked back with a real estate agent later, and got these stats: There were 6 offers, 5 of which were all cash. The winning offer was for 3.3 million.

It says on the site under the "Controller" tab that it can go 13 mph.

It's certainly interesting, as you could literally buy almost three of these for the price of one Boosted Board. I'm on the preorder list of Boosted, and was actually pretty upset/angry that they increased the price by more than 50%.

One does not. Software will eat the world.

That instagram screenshot clearly shows that the transmission is over https, which means that the whole "susceptible to would-be interceptors" thing invalid. That is, unless you're under attack by a man-in-the-middle proxy. If this is the case, then you have bigger issues on your hands. The foodspotting screenshot is over plain http, though, so it IS susceptible to a normal eavesdropping attack.
