Should have said brand-able, sorry. But my point still remains, names are extremely important and $250 is relatively nothing. Fix a script for someone and you'll get that much.

Skype, Facebook, Zynga, Twitter, Jawbone and Box.net are all in the Andreeson Horowitz portfolio. He seems to be doing fine.

He bought FB way too late than most others. What valuation did he buy in Zynga, Twitter etc than we'll talk? Jut because they're 'hot' now doesn't mean that they'll make him money later.

google+ is dead. Google doesn't have the talent.

They have the talent, they just aren't sure what to clone.

Andreesen pointed out recently, it was pretty common ten years ago for startups to sink tons of cash into Oracle

And Andreessen should be listened in this field because.... ? Serious corporations go for IBM, Oracle, SAP and the likes. They want stability and someone to show up and fix when things go wrong. Most of the 'startups' Marc is talking about, will be not be here 5 years from now.

What was Marc's last good investment? Ning or Groupon?

True to a point but there is no love lost between Google and Microsoft. Google tried to drive Microsoft out of business with the Google Pack, Chrome OS etc. No serious company would turn $5 for each Android.

Apple is no fan of Google either, nor are the content and publishing companies and the list can go on.

Those that sold shovels during the gold rush, made money too.

There's a video of Bill Gates making a mathematical case why solar will not solve our problems. We need another nuclear plant, the name escape but I think it uses all the nuclear waste.

The financing approach makes a lot of sense for Google. They can make a lot of money without building any sort of infrastructure.

Solar is more hype than anything, and it's good press. Is anyone making money from solar?

Clearly you're trying to imply that some country is behind this, so feel free to just say it out loud instead of being cute about it and wasting everyone's time.

It's an internet forum, not a court of law. OK? I am speculating. When someone does something this big, I tend to think of someone way out there, like those that tried to hack Google, defense companies etc. For all we know they did to get the info from one company, steal CC from a million of them, or just have the option to take million of sites offline. Relax.
