The message is the standard "scratch your own itch", "work on something you're passionate about", "pivot", etc. stuff you've heard before.
NowJS had been doing some iPad app that improved the online shopping experience. That was going well, getting traction and good feedback, got them an offer for $1M of investment, etc.
But they realized (thanks to PG questioning them) that they didn't actually care about shopping that much, and they were a great team whose strength was really solving really hard technical problems, which also interests them more. So they were trying to decide whether to pivot away from a successful idea. After some indecision they gave the idea that turned into NowJS 1 week of their attention and built something very promising, so they gave it a bit more time, and then they decided to go with it.
