"What disappoints me most is the very obvious fallacy spouted around by the NVCA: That higher taxes on venture capital will curb innovation. How can a tax on the investors' personal compensation affect innovation?! Carry vs Income taxation will not change the allocation of capital amongst asset classes, let alone influence the level of entrepreneurial activity!" - Q dub

"Content farming is a risk to Google because the distinction between top quality and mass-produced, mass-linked content can be entirely opaque to Page Rank. Its especially true when the content is farmed by players with substantial distribution muscle themselves such as Aol and Demand Media. I happen to find a lot of quality content via the Facebook stream, which is unfortunately off-limits for Google." - Q dub

"The WinTel model of monolithic software + fragmented hardware isn't the only way to win. After watching the the kind of progress HTC has made since Android, Google must wondering: Why do I need all these different hardware partners when I just need one really good one? After all, Apple is killing it with essentially one model of hardware." - Q dub

"While a 5 mbps HD stream is only 1/3 of your 15 mbps Verizon connection, ALL residential broadband resources are provisioned on the basis that only a few connections are active simultaneously. What broadband providers want to protect is their ability to over-provision at the multiples they've always enjoyed. Even 30x over-provisioning is not uncommon! This has little to do with net neutrality, but I wanted to point out that bandwidth scarcity is in fact a problem if you factor over-provisioning into your back-of-the envelope math. The part where I'm a bit fuzzy about is VOIP: while 100kbps is not bad, 100kbps perfectly QOS'd may be harder than you think. I don't know the math here, so many another expert can comment =)" - Q dub

"On the super soldier point: Oddly, I felt the ODST play still very similarly to the Chief. Besides the loss of regenerating health, you're still able to eat up roughly equal amounts of damage, face against equally numerous Covenant foes in equally open and direct confrontations. I was hoping for a stealthier style of play =\" - Q dub
