It's just a random characterization bit, sort of like Peter Gregory's sesame seed investments episode. But hopefully the show will bring it up again in the future.

I always thought that Mark Cuban didn't seem very technical for an internet entrepreneur.

I'm pretty sure Russ is meant to be a play on Sean Parker of Napster, as portrayed by Justin Timberlake on The Social Network.

Even the CNN one took twists and turns and ended with something surreal and frightening.

All Adam knows is how to Kickapoo.

Um, he was great in Going Clear.

If Joss Whedon ever actually did revive Firefly, and had a need to replace Adam Baldwin for political reasons, Kevin Dillon would be a natural fit for Jayne or a Jayne-like character.

That's the joke, ya see.

Last week's episode about Pied Piper in danger of losing funding, only to gain it at the end, only to lose it again this episode, definitely smacks of comparisons to Entourage's formula of "they're shutting down the studio!"

Raviga (which wasn't even named in season one) is in a much weaker state, and isn't comparable to when Peter was in charge. It's kind of hard to compare his hypothetical actions to Laurie's real actions, because he didn't have to deal with the crisis of him dying.

Man now I wish this show's first four episodes were leaked, instead of Game of Throne's.

Alibaba's a new addition, too!

Ben Carson calls it slavery. We call it politics.

And your real name: Richard Nixon

A real sapien, and a real hero.

That's how talent is passed in NBC.

It definitely merits an AV Club article after the Sorkin flick on Jobs comes out. Not only is it a brilliant examination of not one but two legendary team of innovators (Bill Gates + co. in addition to the two Steves), but is reputedly fairly accurate to history, unlike the biopic with Ashton Kutcher.

One of the major reasons for why Facebook has been declining for the past few years and has been resorting to making purchases of up and coming firms in different spaces like WhatsApp or Oculus Rift *is* because young people view the site as allowing too many people in- they're seeing parents, teachers, adults join…
