NDA's are Useless
-- Someone with Google Glass might be recording your disclosure
-- Someone with Bose QuietComfort headphones can hear you exposing your great idea at StarBucks even though the frother is so loud
-- Execution is more important than the idea
-- Don't Ask Someone to Waste Their Time with an NDA -

Pricing : In typical MS fashion, pricing is hidden somewhere and has a half-billion versions. Someone mentioned it might be $99/yr or $65/yr. Maybe it's just $12/yr if you're Hispanic, from Bismark, and have a dog with one blue eye and one brown eye? Love the execution Microsoft! Did you have Apple sign an NDA first?

Personal Google Complaints (not discussed at #BigDOCC)
-
Spam URLs from Search - Do a search on Google. Copy one of the results and you get this garbage:
-
Hey Google : Get off my URL!
-
Bing - Oh, boy you're so sad. I wish you were an alternative to Google. But compare these two searches below. You don't even list an official DogeCoin site! "dodge.com" is in your results? Seriously?
