1:00 Welcome everyone, today's News Panel guest is serial entrepreneur Paige Craig.
2:00 Thank you to Sourcebits for supporting the show! Everyone thank @Sourcebits!
4:00 Welcome back to the program, Paige.
5:45 Let's start with the new law that will allow driverless cars in California. Where does this rank among Google's achievements? Would you drive a driverless car?
8:15 Paige, would you ride in one?
14:30 How old should you have to be to take over a driverless car?
16:15 Do you think Apple is also working on this?
17:00 Let's discuss Apple booting Google maps from iOS5. Should Google have given Apple what they wanted, like voice guided directions?
20:45 Kirin: Tim Cook actually referred people to competing map providers, he thought the map was so bad.
21:30 Tyler: Why doesn't Google offer turn-by-turn directions on the iOS app?
24:45 Kirin: Have you used passbook?

29:00 Paige, Betterworks is no longer around. What happened?
31:30 Did you ever take a bullet, Paige?
34:00 What about the employees? Did they agree with your decision?
36:45 What are the top three companies you invested in?
37:30 Was there one specific moment when you knew it wasn't going to work?
38:45 Kirin: Did the possibility of a pivot ever come up?
39:15 Klout has partnered with Microsoft to display Klout rankings in Bing searches. What does this mean for Google? Would it make sense for Microsoft to acquire Klout?
42:15 Should Klout stop making the score public?
46:00 I have to say, Bing is a better search engine than Google.
47:00 Airbnb is said to be raising a $100 million round with a valuation of between $2-3 billion. Is this reported valuation reasonable?
50:15 Paige, have you ever used Airbnb?
52:30 Kirin: Airbnb also reportedly is getting 26% of their traffic from mobile.
54:30 Myspace launched a redesign this week with the goal of being a social music site. Is there any chance that Myspace can reinvent itself?
59:00 Paige: I'll bet you a testicle that they go away.
1:00:15 Jason gives his review of Judge Dread.
1:01:45 Bad Piggies, the follow up to Angry Birds, hit the top spot in the US app store a mere three hours after release.
1:04:00 Jason saw Angry Birds sour candy at the movies.
1:09:15 Jason's recommendation to Rovio: You should make golf courses into 18 hole Angry Birds.
1:10:30 Last story: Marissa Mayer hired a new CFO at Yahoo, sparking rumors that Yahoo is going to ramp up its acquisitions. Do you think Marissa is on the right track?
1:13:45 Kirin: So how do you grade Marissa today?
1:16:45 Paige, do you think Facebook stock is going to come crashing down again soon?
1:20:45 Facebook is launching Gifts, to facilitate real-world giving.
1:22:30 Tyler: They should do gift recommendations based on a person's interest.
1:25:45 What's the margin on the gift?
1:29:15 Kirin: Should Amazon be concerned?
1:30:30 Kirin bets Jason that Facebook Gifts will do $100M in revenue a year from now. There are two for one odds on a sushi lunch.
1:32:00 Thank you to Sourcebits and Squarespace. And thank you Paige for joining us today.
1:35:00 We'll see you all next time.
