1:00-3:00 Welcome everyone to the Friday News Roundtable
3:00-4:00 Thank you to MailChimp for sponsoring the program.
4:00-5:00 First story: Google has purchased Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.
6:30-7:00 At $625,000 per patent, William, what do you think, is that reasonable?
7:00-9:30 So why do you dislike Motorola, is it because they're so aggressive when it comes to patents?
9:30-11:45 Paul, do you think we'll see a time when the top 5-6 companies come to a resolution on their own and do an arms treaty?
13:00-14:30 William: To put it in perspective, it's four months of cash flow for Google.
16:45-18:00 Next story: A Russian company plans to launch an orbiting hotel, with prices starting at $1M. Can they actually offer that for this price?
19:30-20:00 Lon: Are we going to have space tourism by the end of the decade?
21:15-22:15 Next story: It's been a huge week in HP news. They're reportedly spinning off their PC division and they're also rumored to be purchasing British company Autonomy. They're also discontinuing operations for their WebOS devices.
22:15-23:45 Paul, good idea to shut down a $40B business with $2B in revenue?
25:30-28:00 Does this just mean that Steve Jobs has kicked everyone's ass so well that no one can compete?
28:00-30:00 Thank you to Carbonite for sponsoring the program. New contest alert: Sign up for Carbonite Small Business using the promo code 'TWiST,' then email your receipt to [email protected] to be entered to win a MacbookAir.
30:00-34:30 Next story: Ashton Kutcher served as a guest editor for the "Social Issue" of Details magazine. However, he didn't disclose all the companies he's an investor in that he promoted in the magazine. Is he a "massive whore" or does he not have to disclose because he's not really a journalist?
34:30-36:00 Insight from Tyler: It's like passing gas in a yoga class.
36:00-37:45 Next story: Evernote announced this week that they've acquired Skitch. Have you tried Skitch, do you like it?
40:00-42:15 What is Mendeley?
42:15-45:00 Next story: Google has opened up their Photovine service. Why would they launch it without integrating it with Google+?
48:00-49:45 How do you go into a board meeting and have leverage over these entrepreneurs anymore?
49:45-52:45 Do you think Groupon's IPO will get pulled, Paul?
56:30-57:45 What's going on with the stock market, Paul? Will the Dow be higher or lower a year from now?
57:45-01:01:15 William: I disagree, I think companies will be far more profitable in 2012.
01:01:15-01:03:30 Is it wishful thinking that, at a certain point, there's nowhere to go but up?
01:03:30-01:05:30 What in the world am I supposed to do with gold?
01:05:30-01:07:30 If the Groupon IPO goes off the rails does it take with it the whole tech industry?
01:13:15-01:15:30 What do you think of Demand's market cap, Paul?
01:15:30-01:16:00 This has been an amazing program, thanks everyone.
