Just because a business raises money you think that it has some kind of bizarre moral obligation to give it to people who didn't earn it? I suppose you'd like to tax all corporations a 95% tax rate and give it all to charity? John Galt would be very disappointed in you! @sd (1): which communist country do you live in?

I have always loved the vision, but given so many have failed trying to pull this off (Microsoft, HP, etc) I have been skeptical. I am now very bullish not only because of the war chest, but due to the distribution partners they seem to have. This is a company Google, eBay, or Amazon should buy before long or look out, it likely to become the next major Internet Gorilla (IMHO). I have been tracking this company for a while.
