5:00 Let's start with Facebook news and the post IPO kerfuffle. What's the big-picture impact of this on tech IPOs?
8:45 James: Facebook is rolling out new tools for advertisers daily, which will result in more revenue generation.
9:45 David: As usual, the retail investor is getting screwed. The flow of information out of Wall Street is ridiculous.
14:00 Jason: Number one, Facebook is a great company. Getting a billion users is an extraordinary accomplishment, but they've greatly under-monetized.
16:30 What about the macro issue, James?
18:00 David, what impact does this have on startups and incubators like yours?

30:30 James: He (Cook) reiterated that the PC and the tablet are different platforms.
37:15 James: The stock market considers Apple a non-growth company. But Apple stock has been opened up to tens of millions of new investors, which could spur growth when the market bounces back.
40:30 Sharing highlights of Mary Meeker's D10 presentation.
41:45 What was the single most significant statistic from her presentation, James?

1:00:00 The politics and implications of workplace romance--don't do it!
1:04:30 SpaceX's Dragon capsule returned to Earth this week, successfully completing its mission. Founder Elon Musk has said his goal is to get humans to Mars and create a "multi-planetary existence." How much bigger is the space vertical going to get?
1:11:30 James: It's so interesting that Elon Musk was next to broke and is now a billionaire. He's willing to go straight to the edge and you have to respect that.
