Same thing with Tumblr, which hosts lots of pr0n and lots of stolen content. As soon as they will be bought, people will start to really hammer them with complaints. And not regular people like me, who are discouraged by their lousy support in this area (their favorite tactic a few years ago was to simply stop responding to emails), but by guys with expensive lawyers.

And as soon pictures start disappearing, users start leaving.

Nikon launched D3200 with 24 useless megapixels. Samsung and Sony have 13 megapixel cameras on their smartphone. The 50 megapixel DSLR is near. All have great pictures in their presentations, but only Nokia was dumb enough to get caught doctoring them.

I actually thought HTC did a smart thing stopping that and launching a smartphone with a 4 megapixel camera. Until I saw what the camera can do. Not pretty.  The new camera cannot stand ground against a 2-year old iPhone 4S.

 

No smartphone can compete against a DSLR with a 6 megapixel sensor from 6 years ago, as you can see in the second shot (HTC One vs. Sony A700), but they keep launching them with bigger and bigger megapixel count, ignoring that 99% of the pictures taken with a smartphone end up on Facebook or Instagram, shrunk down to 1600px, which is about 2 megapixels. So, we take them at 8 or 13 megapixels and then resize them. Cramming more in the same small sensor is useless. Make the sensor better in overall situations, cause no one cares about panoramic pictures. 

The truth: he sold his business because it was losing money and he was not capable to take it further than good domain names took it.

Inspiration? His croundfunding efforts gathered 245$, because who in the world needs another book written by a nobody divorced with no internet or business experience?
