Seconded.... Would be killer if they have support mobile for this.

This is great chart. If I was an acquirer that hasn't bought anyone, this is what I want to dig into

I love the fact that it took Ballmer to leave for them to really get serious about cutting-edge tech again. Bill Gates are probably wishing he never met Ballmer at Harvard.

Two sides to this comment:

1) It took Ballmer to leave for them to really get serious about innovating again.

2) ...because under Ballmer, they were able to make billions of dollars without innovating.

Bill Gates is probably pretty happy about #2 even if he's not thrilled about #1.

Can I make a request? Can you do a slice on the top 50 gaming apps? As a game maker, I'd be curious to see what are the most used SDKs.

We'll probably throw all the data up on appsight.co site and let folks do the filtering themselves. Sign up on the site now and we'll alert you when we launch for Beta.

The trick Blodget managed to get his 20-something year old writers to do was at once cynical and awesome - write like you have know everything about a subject. Top 10 greatest students at MIT, Best angel investor you have never heard of, etc. Most of it was really just fluff but it also created an interesting and weird cottage industry - for smart founders and VCs who aren't well-known, nothing works better than getting to know a BI writer and getting in his/her good graces so you get repeat mentions - you can't buy press like that. BI is basically Buzzfeed pretending to be WSJ.
