On: Does Apple want to buy Facebook?

Bouncing around ideas like this is so good for the brain. This is unlikely, but not impossible.

I don't think Zuckerberg is going to allow Facebook to be bought by anybody, he's doing the buying these days.

I'm tempted to agree along those lines. If you turn down billions, why does more billions suddenly appeal to you?

Facebook has in a lot of ways run its course. They're still iterating, but I don't really see it benefiting users much.

I don't see a sale to Apple benefiting users much either, but the fallout could be interesting. If I were him I might sell just out of curiosity to see what would happen. It sounds, if not better, at least profoundly interesting.

It doesn't... but the chance to work along side one of your idols is a pretty big factor.

The chance to work for a new boss when you are doing great being the boss? Nah.

I believe Microsoft has right of first refusal, so if Facebook sells, Microsoft would have to pass before Apple could buy.
