I blew the dust off this account to give you an upboat. Several of the top stories were on reddit's front page yesterday and no one even bothered to change the titles here. This place is sad.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Assuming that you're not being sarcastic, I respectfully disagree.
According to BusinessWeek, Facebook is currently worth $82.9 Billion [1]. By using Facebook's own numbers, there are 500 Million facebook users [2] though it is unclear how many of these are active users or children without disposable income.
Crunching these optimistic numbers makes facebook worth $165.80 each.
For Facebook to be worth $1 Trillion, users would need to be worth $2000.00 each. Call me an uninformed skeptic, but I just don't think apps like Farmville add much value.

This is why I always argue that innovation is over-rated.
What's the point in spending $Billions of dollars (Tax dollars no less) to innovate when our competition will just blatantly take our ideas while ignoring our patents?
Just look at Microsoft. They didn't get to the top by innovating. They got to the top by copying the ideas of others so they didn't have to spend $billions in research dollars.
The system is obviously broken, but unfortunately I don't have a solution to offer.

LOL - I misread the headline as "Hubble Peers 13.2 Billion dollars back in time"
Fortunately, it only cost about $10 Billion. http://www.livescience.com/space/090510-hubble-telescope-poll.html

Here's a link that says that the wars since 9/11 are costing $4.4 Trillion.

(Note that it is a Defense industry website, so if anything they have an incentive to report smaller numbers to avoid looking bad)
