One of the strengths of Steve Mk II was not getting into markets early. So many hits have come from executing so well in areas only after making sure the tech and supply were in a position for success

This is a wonderful project. I'd love to see science-oriented stories on it. When I was 4-5 I used to read a lot of stories about kids curious about things around them and that definitely resulted in an appreciation of science at a young a

It will be very hard, given that the funding models don't necessarily align right now, but I think there is an opportunity. There's definitely an opportunity with small biotech, where there is need, but often no resources for specific proj

There are other efforts to create exchanges or marketplaces for scientific research as well (e.g. http://www.assaydepot.com/ ). Small number, but definite possibilities. The problem is that a lot of research institutes and companies have

And if any company has a track record over the past decade of delivering "big things" it's Apple. No company in recent history comes even close. Can they? Who knows, but if anyone can, it's Apple.
