Some Of The Highlights:

«The last 500 social companies funded by the VC community are all worthless. I’m serious.»

«Currently Facebook Connect is free; eventually they’ll charge for it because it’s access to their social graph which publishers need, and that’s how they’l make money.»

«Apple will sell a hundred million internet-connected devices this year. That’s two thirds of the PC market.» If you add the other non-PC internet devices, that’s more valuable than the PC market.

«The Fed is printing money and inflating bubbles, “but for us, that’s great!”: capital is very cheap; consumers are acting like the party’s on, so there’s lots of opporutnities.»

More.
