When we&#x27;re talking about Facebook, we have a zillion concrete things to talk about, the services they provide, their open source and hardware, their refusal to play ball with Jobs&#x27; attempt to turn SV into a company town, etc. etc.   All sorts of things one associates with successful companies, which here I define as actually doing stuff, ignoring the minor detail of making money off of it.<p>Theranos is not, and has never been a successful company, aside from hype and attracting investment.  Their simple inability to properly and legally run a basic, conventional diagnostics lab suggests its not even in their DNA, even before one notes that they&#x27;ve only been able to get one finger stick test approved by the FDA.
