This pretty much nails it and is very tricky to get right. Nearly every other contenteditable editor out there messes up the undo stack, copy-pasting and new-lines, some more than others. The extensibility feature is also a great relief. Ho

That scenario is quite funny. Isn't it just a loss-leader model though? You will probably want sides and drinks (drinks have the highest margins). In this author's case, he will be introducing new customers to the restaurant. In f

Could you keep the badges expanded instead of on hover? It would make for easier comparison.

At first when I saw this page, I thought they count the number of people in a store through an eye-tracking device or facial recognition. This isn't too far off. In version 3.0 we will be seeing the ability to identify shoppers who are

Sounds like public-relations-101 speak. Same as big oil advertising green initiatives. They can counteract sentiment with PR but they can't change who they are: a company that tracks buyers without consent. "You tell me whar a man

I have mixed feelings about this. I like WhatsApp because they fixed SMS (by adding group chat and cheaper messaging). I also like the fact that they do one thing and do it really well (ala DropBox). The client is light and fast. I can use

If you want to get into the streaming content I think a tax on distribution will be much lower down the list of concerns. Content licensing and infrastructure setup is the bigger challenge. The players in this sector all quite major (Apple,

The same thought came to my mind, a moat around Netflix's current business. However, I don't think that's quite how it will play out. Comcast won't charge new streaming providers from the get go. That will stunt its own

That is not going to happen. The onus is not on the consumer, it's on the service provider. The service provider may transfer the costs onto the consumer but Comcast won't directly charge the consumers a premium. That would be a b

WhatsApp is much better than Skype as an acquisition. 1. It's a single-purpose, specialised application which makes it hard to compete against. Once you can't subtract anymore from a software you are left with the essence of it. I

This is an awesome concept for markdown UI. I know this is still in early stages with more features coming but allowing up/down arrows to move between blocks would make it a lot easier to navigate. Undo doesn't work which is kind
