Goldman Sachs is mourning the death of a valued client today … Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi.
In 2008, the bank roped the dictator into investing $US1.3 billion from Libya's sovereign wealth fund in some structured products. Somehow it managed to blow up 98 per cent of Gaddafi's money in a year.

Reshared post from +Erfun Kheirandish
Steve Yegge, a Google engineer, in an internal rant criticising Google's lack of platform, writes in length about why Facebook has been successful and why Apple and even Microsoft are years ahead of Google in having their own platform supporting their products.
Steve argues that Google is only a product maker and this will not guarantee its future.
However, this letter was not supposed to be published publicly but when It was found out that it has Google did not even suggest censoring it. Nonetheless, Steve decided to delete it from his stream but agreed later to have it in public access.I enjoyed reading this rather long writing.
