as noted elsewhere, apple actually employs over 90,000 people. it's less significant in that scope. Also, while I have no doubt his experience sucked, he was also in customer service as opposed to being a developer/engineer. I sus

Even with your edit, you still don't get it. McDonald's employee's don't make > $50 an hour. No one can make $300k+ working at mcdonalds, even if they work 24/7. Even if you worked LITERALLY every single hour of

i haven't had a case on my iPhone in 6 years. the screens do not in fact break easily. some people are more clumsy than others. some just prefer to have a case for whatever reason. the same is true for android phones.

i find it interesting that 5 is over the limit, but 4 is perfectly reasonable. Personally i have 1, my phone, and increasing it to 2 seems like no change at all personally.

see, and i have the opposite problem with my pebble. since it isn't part of my daily charging routine, it inevitably dies because i forget about charging it ever. I'd be better off including it my daily charging routine.

Why is charging electronics such a problem? Do people wear watches while sleeping? Why is setting it on the charger on my nightstand actually a problem? This seems like an absurd nitpicky thing to complain about.

but they are already pretty much free and easy to get. do we have to put them on for everyone too? do you want to just mail a package to every person in the world once a month? I mean, what is your solution to make people actually use them.

Everyone is so negative here. It sounds to me like a lot of people are making judgements without personal experience. I'll admit, I thought some of the same things before I got a pebble (which I originally bought just for development).

>And who decides if such has been done and how do they decide it? The SEC, just like now. You could argue they aren't as good at it as they should be, but that doesn't really change anything. There are limits of what you can in

luckily the new regs don't allow you to invest 50% of your net worth.

by clarky07 12y ago
actually the new regs are such that you can't in fact lose your life savings. only 10%.

just because the odds are against you doesn't mean it isn't fun. gambling is mostly fine as long as you know your limits. The problem is that it is an addictive behavior, and if you are addicted it becomes a huge problem. I'm

Just because you don't think it's useful enough or worth the cost doesn't mean nobody does. 1. Nest is a lot more expensive 2. Not worried about the security. If someone wants in its just not that hard. Locks can be picked, d

Actually it speaks to the fact that I'm currently renting. If my house was finished, I would in fact have most of them.

This comes off as the famous (apocryphal) patent quote from around 1900. "Everything that can be invented has been invented" I think a lot of people (myself included) think there are lots of potential benefits to a smart house. I

It's not highly publicized, but it is in fact easy. And if there are lot of users reaching to him for refunds, he needs to improve the app because it's not as advertised. I doubt he's actually getting a ton of refund requests

Don't send them refunds, send them to https://reportaproblem.apple.com/ and tell them you are happy to refund them and here's how to do it. They can then go to Apple and they will process the refund for you. You a

perhaps (obviously, completely) personally it was a failure, but the title was referring to making money online. Maybe the failure isn't connected to that specifically? I dunno. I mean I mostly agree with everything you said, just tryi

Actually I'm happy with making markets more efficient. I have no problem with affiliate marketing in general. I was more referring to the fact that some of the things he was marketing were scams.

I'm not sure I'd regard making 100's of thousands of dollars complete failure. Now, it's obvious that he made money in ways that aren't overly useful to society, and promoted products that were less than stellar in
