I tried #DirecTV Now. Wasn't bad, but yes, a bit buggy. Like if I stopped watching an on-demand program, and tried to pick up where I left off the next day, it would not remember and make me start from the beginning. PLUS since they do NOT let you fast forward, I'd have to sit through the entire program again to catch up. I understand not letting people fast forward through the commercials, but I should be able to fast fwd through the programs themselves!

Interesting stuff, but can someone explain the significance of the seismic images in the article? It's beyond my level of expertise.

Israeli ingenuity at it's finest! They don't call it Startup Nation for nothing!

Your social component sounds very innovative. Not enough finance companies are embracing the benefits of social, or at least aren't doing it well.

Excellent points in this article. And I like your #Nintendo vs. #Sega analogy but you compared Apples to Oranges. Gameboy was a portable handheld. Dreamcast was a console system. A better comparison would be how Sega's 16GB Genesis was better than Ninendo's 8bit NES system or how their full color GameGear portable was better than Ninendo's black and white dinky Gameboy. But like VHS and Beta, Nintendo won out.

I'd echo Roger's comment. Thanks for sharing Arie.

I'm interested but too much for me. If you ever lower it to $5k or maybe even $10k, let me know.

You make a compelling argument to buy $AMZN. There are so many other reasons to buy #Amazon stock as well, that this is actually on the bottom of my list. As a customer of #AWS, I've actually been pretty unsatisfied with my experience. I find the customer support to be incredibly slow to resolve problems and have experienced outages. I think AWS need to improve if they want to continue getting my business.

So true, I'm aiming to eventually be one of theose guys!
