Marc Rougier's insight:
I don't get cricket. But a sport which is the ancestor of baseball and which new master is a country four times more populated than the US (and growing to soon surpass China) should deserve our attention ;-) Congrats India! Also in April, U2 broke the Rolling Stone's record for highest-grossing tour ever ($700m). Who's seen it?

With armed conflicts in so many countries, it's almost impossible to catch the good news. Well, things are going better in Myanmar! D. Cameron, British P.M., called for suspension of sanctions; the European Union does it and Japan will write off the debt.
April also saw the mega acquisition of Instagram by Facebook for $1B! Instagram was a 2-year old, 12-people, no revenue company. Its founder, Kevin Systrom, 27-y old, pockets $400M.
Mark Zuckerberg then claimed "Not much will change with the service". I wonder if Instragram's users would agree with this statement today.
