Like Facebook, and Twitter, and all those other sites that are clearly and obviously different from each other and come on you're trolling aren't you please tell me you're trolling


So... you're saying that selling nice chairs is an obviously bad business model?


It's my understanding that it is hard to find VCs who want to fund chairities.


Yes, but only if you already have the successful experience with, for example, sofas.

Quite the use of police resources too, going so far out of their way to take on someone who might've been (but wasn't) making a copy (but not stealing an original) of something digital.


This is fucked up :)


Deliver me from startup culture, i'll fetch my own beers from the corner store.
