Paul Ryan: 60 Percent Of Americans Are 'Takers,' Not 'Makers'
Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan said in 2010 that 60
percent of Americans receive more financial benefits from the government
than they pay in taxes, making them "takers," rather than "makers,"
according to a 2010 video of Ryan speaking with Rep. Walter Jones
(R-N.C.). "Right now about 60 percent of the American people get more
benefits in dollar value from the federal government than they pay back
in taxes," Ryan said.

Apple Marks One-Year Anniversary of Steve Jobs' Death
On the one-year anniversary of Steve Jobs' death, Apple has
posted a new remembrance on its website. Visitors to apple.com are
presented with a nearly two-minute photo slideshow of Jobs paired with
some of his famous audio clips. Once the slideshow is completed, the
website transitions to a simple letter of remembrance from Tim Cook

Why Zynga Failed
The year was 2008 and Zynga had it all figured out. Facebook
became a portal to games for those who had never played. Viral growth
there was unchecked. Facebook ad rates were low, so buying traffic was
cheap. And most games were played on the desktop. But soon everything
changed, and Zynga never recovered.
Here’s a look at four big shifts that caused Zynga’s power and share
price to plummet.
