I already knew about this, lucky kid. I don't understand why Yahoo bought a app developed in a 500$ or less platform, and being payed 30 million? I guess it's worth billions, yet most of us don't know it.

And zuckerberg bought instagramm for a billion, though it was all free to use.
Thats the same reason, big companies want to get even bigger, and so consume any competitors. I dont like how they try to drag everyone to them.

I guess yahoo isn't greedy. They'll make more money than 30mil. with the app. After the kid gets out of high school he will be a Yahoo employee.

Yahoo actually brought him (kinda), not his product. So he is already working for them. He is only on a 2 year contract however, after that he can fuck off with all the money or stick around.
