As I posted on Facebook yesterday:
Instagram guys being called "sellouts". If you get a call offering $1b and you don't simultaneously piss and **** yourself, you've done well.

And suddenly the hipsters who use it have become mainstream (like they wasn't already).
Huzzah!

Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
1 Billion in under 2 years is pretty good !Instagram started out in October 2010
will the iOS crowd be up in arms again for selling out?
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
Now that's what I call a payout for 2years of work. Wonder what comes to as an hourly rate.deal is equivalent to $77 million per employee

730 - (30 * 2) (holidays per year) = 670
670 * 40 (hours per week) = 26800
$77,000,000 / 26800 = roughly $2800 per hour.
Nice return
I honestly dont get what makes them worth $1m, never mind $1bn.
its as though nothing was learnt from the dotcom bubble burst
It is funny how butt hurt the iphone hipsters are getting over this now. First their picture bastardizer was given to the great unwashed android users and now they are bought by the mega hooj social networking.
They`ll all be weeping into the soy lattes whilst wiping their eyes on their black turtle necks

How do they actually make money?

Guessing ad revenue...
Still, it's hardly selling out. Selling out happens when you get a poor deal because your eyes lit up with dollar signs. They were offered way above what they're worth.
Maybe they're holding some key (possibly unreleased) IP that Facebook wants?
Remember that Facebook still has chronically bad photo processing.
I didn't hear about the iphone users getting upset over an android port. Kind of makes me glad I didn't download it on to my new android phone - wouldn't want to associate with any idiots with opinions like that!its as though nothing was learnt from the dotcom bubble burst
