They mention at one point what people say when they are stopped by the police for speeding.

"Do you know how fast you were going?" "Well... 38...40?" (In a 35 MPH zone).

I was told to always say "No, Officer, I don't know why you pulled me over". This seems to be a good idea now, as it cannot be seen as a confession. What should you say when the officer pulls you over? Can you plead the 5th and say nothing? How well does that go over?

This really bothers me. I've been fine with Apple's "Walled Garden" App Store approach, because I do believe it offers consumers an amount of safety when buying apps.

Anecdotally, I tell friends and family who are new to their iPhone (or Mac, iPad), that they don't need anti-virus, certainly not on their iPhone. They don't need to worry about downloading bad apps from the App Store, Apple doesn't let anything bad in (Android has a history of malware in its app store). It's what they expect from owning an Apple device.

I really don't want to have to start telling them, "Careful, you could be downloading a fake app" anytime soon. I believe Apple should work harder to stop apps like these from getting into the store - it's much better for developers and consumers.

I actually really enjoyed their introduction video, I feel like it captured the human emotion aspect well.

Kudos to you Facebook.

My takeaway is that they first started with a product that challenged some of the biggest players. A video distribution platform? Up against YouTube and Vimeo?

But that wasn't the end goal - they just built something, anything, to start a conversation with customers and learn of new needs in the area. After learning of new needs they pivoted and built a new product.

It's not about the idea necessarily - it's about learning and execution.

Cheating? Or making strategic business decisions?

And now all my scripts fail.
