instagram and whatsapp are already bought, and facebook does have plenty of revenue. Snapchat has started their business model, and they do at least have some revenue. (Certainly not profit, but revenue). Any way you look at it, there are s

because there is a difference between 100% of value collapsing all at once, and 25-50% going away. Yes, Uber is likely to be overvalued. But it is a real business, with real customers, with real money being exchanged. It won't go to 0

My question isn't is it a bubble or not, the question is what would the effects be this time around? Most people seem to agree the bubble (if it exists) is in privately held venture backed startup companies. Does the popping of that bu

Glass was pretty terrible IMO. Lots of major issues, not the least of which was battery life. People complain about the battery on the watch (which i think is great fwiw, never get below 60%). Glass couldn't even dream of 1 day battery

This article felt very weak and empty. The biggest complaint seemed to be that other people noticed she had it, and started small talk about it. Oh the horror. It's an article in search of minor reasons to not like the watch. I don&#x2

Ah but the only restriction is the app can't become a brick. He was still offering 1 a day, and could probably restrict that further and be perfectly fine under that rule. In my apps I limit the things you can save. You are welcome to

It is $99/year to have apps in the App Store, but it is per developer account and not per app. I almost think devs would be better off if it was per app. At least any devs planning to make a living off the store. It would cut down on a

IAP does pretty much the same thing. I understand we wanted trials 6 years ago, but I personally feel like this is a solved problem.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Paying per article is absurd IMO. when I started reading the article I assumed the change would be exactly as you described, x free articles and then $1.99 for full version.

I think you're missing the enjoyment part. I'd rather have a chicken sandwich or a salad from Wendy's than Soylent. As would most people I suspect. It's possible the grilled chicken or salad isn't actually better fo

Most of the shippers happily pick up boxes from you. I have ups pick things up at my house all the time. Just put it in the box and stick the pre printed return label on the side.

I believe Indy has a big regional distribution center, so not that surprising to me. I would have expected Nashville on the list, as we also have some big warehouses located here. Hopefully soon.

So many places have great return policies, so it doesn't really matter anymore. There are places that specifically encourage you to buy like 2-3 pairs of shoes for example and ship back the ones that don't fit. If you are normally

fwiw, Apple watch does actually remind you to stand up and walk around once an hour if you haven't. I've actually found it a nice reminder. I can tell when i get the buzz that yeah i've been sitting too long I should get up a

Not really. Crowdfunding on kickstarter isn't "raising money." It's presales. It's revenue. They've raised 15mil, and had 2 really successful kickstarter projects.

The core functionality of notifications and at a glance complications really is great. If you are into fitness that's a big bonus. Depending on how much you like watches, the price may or may not be excessive. While the price may need

There is almost nothing that needs to be done to be safe. Wash your hands and clothes. Don't eat or drink while shooting. This just isn't that hard. There is a tiny contingent that needs to be more aware, and that is the business

This article is a bit misleading. Not all ranges are as badly handled as the one they mention, and many many people just shoot outside. In addition, the major illustration is pretty much false. Almost all bullets are fully jacketed and not

if facebook is at a growth stops phase, it's possible it's because they've almost saturated their target market. They have something like 1.5 billion users. That's Billion, with a B. How many of those dead services you m

by clarky07 11y ago
You say that, but the article states that 70% of teens use facebook vs. 40% for snapchat. I'm not sure a service with a billion users can really be labeled uncool by that many people.

I also charge a high hourly rate, and yet I still clean my house and mow my lawn. As it happens, I don't have enough work to fill up 24 hours of each. Also, I don't have any desire to work all 24 hours of each day. Why is this so

it doesn't strike me as odd that 1% is less than 13%. We have a lot more money now. WWI had 116k deaths. Vietnam had 58k deaths. Post 9/11 wars have had about 6500. All of them are tragic, but the fact that we spent a similar amou

the real question here is, what was the reason for printing directions? I think I also used MapQuest the last time I printed directions, 7 or 8 years ago? My phone just tells me when i need to turn now....
