There are a couple of other products in the market doing very similar things. Have you done any work on positioning or differentiation? There is space for different options for sure. I'd love to see if you can turn this into an afforda

PBS covered medications are extremely cheap compared to other countries. I had to stay longer in the US than planned a few years ago, and just about needed a second mortgage to get my fairly standard meds. Unaffordable without insurance. If

I agree with your assessment. But I’d move having no price to the top of the list. If you don’t know your price strategy, a/b test it. If it’s free, tell me. I also intensely dislike the trend of AI apps not clearly showing which AI pl

I really hope they continue with the on-device approach. It will likely be less cutting edge, but keeping personal data secure, private and ideally encrypted on-device is my very strong preference.

That's not a smart take. While games are probably going to be important for Apple's XR products, it's not an area of strength for them. Apple does not talk about things they don't think they are the best at (they might a

That's an interesting point, but I think having a Founder's or Entrepreneurial mindset is the key to success here and not the founder's professional discipline. It's about the combination of ideas, execution, and money.

Hard disagree. Marketers conceive of tractors. They are the ones by talking to the customers and knowing what they need. They are the ones that know that one engineer has been working on a high power engine, and other on rugged, high tracti

I think you’re missing the point. The right to roam is about the public having access to public land. Public land is paid for and supported by taxpayers, and is therefore theirs to enjoy. Surrounding public land by privately held land, with

I don't use one anymore, but I remain extremely fond of my now defunct Acorn RiscPC from 1994! I have similar feelings about the software and how powerful and simple it felt then!

I find it amusing that Intel MacBooks were slammed for being overpriced compared to Windows and Linux boxes, but now Mn Macs are being smashed for not running Windows or Linux. No one is forcing you to buy a Mac. Just buy the machine that b

Apple, Acorn Computers and VLSI were founding partners of ARM, if I remember correctly. My StrongArm powered RiscPC was amazing for the time. It was strange that the contemporaneous Newton was powered by the same (and in some ways better) p

It is worse than a scam. Homeopathic practitioners sell false hope. They do their own tests, their own diagnoses, sell their own preparations, and then review their client’s progress. There is no check, no balance. But “big pharma gives med

Indeed I do. I have deep knowledge of the process in two markets. I also have a very good knowledge of the homeopathic industry. There have been thousands of homeopathy clinical trials. None has ever proven any effectiveness beyond placebo.

Millions of people pray, eat meat and smoke. Doesn’t make it right or wrong. Provide proof of any claim made by homeopathy and not only will you win this argument, you’ll be a very rich person. It’s foolish to argue with someone that isn’t

As others have mentioned, the idea that there is no evidence that it doesn’t work is completely invalid. The onus of proof is on the person making the claim. It’s on the homeopaths to provide evidence that it does work. Many millions of dol

So, why do you care what I pay for a phone or even what Apple is offering? Makes no sense. You’ve made a decision based on what’s important to you. I’ve done the same. Why do you think you’re more right than me?!
