The price listed in the title is "after incentives & gas savings" and before taxes. For example: the 70kWh battery has the 'pitch' price at $56,895... except that the actual cash price to the right is $76,200 deliver

It sounds like you need to do a month vacation (or two weeks, whatever you can). The first half of your vacation, go off-grid completely. No cell phone, no computer, no internet - just you, your tent, and nature. Be it camping/fishing&

I think the name is fine if you turn your product into a whitelabel solution. People can dropin their own branding for their series of training courses and then charge a fee - all without having to deal with servers or payment providers. Wh

Make a 100% guarantee. Something like "we'll have the gear you want, delivered when you want, or your money back AND we'll give you credit to rent the gear on us at a later point to make up for it." Internally, make it y

They didn't need to release through Kickstarter, but this was a nice gesture from Pebble to offer their products to Kickstarter backers at a discount and priority (backers get their Pebble Time watches before it goes to retail). It is

I am looking forward to the Surface pro 4 announcement. edit: to clarify - I'd like to buy a surface pro, but it is a tough call knowing they have a yearly product release cycle.

I just watched a recent interview with the CEO. The interviewer asked why doesn't BlackBerry get out of hardware. Chen responded that the reason is two fold: 1. Their hardware is profitable and represents a significant chunk of their r

Some parts of California make this easier by calling the county by the name of the biggest city. This makes local geographical references easier for non local audiences. Eg. The desalination project in Carlsbad -> San Diego County ->

Commercials/advertisements are fine. Allowing over compressed, perceivably louder sounding commercials on their system is annoying. Recognizing that people hate this and trying to prevent people from turning down the volume in reactio

At least for the desktop software, they detect if you turn the volume down quickly, and pause the commercial. Spotify has pretty rude behavior towards their free users, but I suppose they want to push everyone to subscribe.

On broadcast TV, or maybe on Cable TV. Advertisers play the same games at Spotify, Youtube, etc.

I don't mind the actual tracks having various mixing/mastering. I do mind when a commercial is compressed/mastered with the intent to be perceived louder to stand out from the actual music/video that you are watching.

It seems like an alternative to Medium.com. I suspect that if people continue to use it, it will get the same initial penalty as Medium submissions.

This looks great, and I'm willing to pay the $500, but there's no release date. If I'm am being charged immediately, you have to have a release date - or otherwise communicate how the pre-order period works.

Robert Kalin lists himself as CCO (compliance officer) on Linkedin. It looks like both Haim Schoppik and Chris Maguire are no longer with the company as of August 2008. It looks like Jared Tarbell is also no longer working at Etsy either. S

If you look at their expenses, a huge chunk of their 'loss' is them issuing shares to employees. They're required to count this as a cash expense. You can make the argument that they could be profitable if they stopped granti

The numbers at a glance: Revenue 2012 $74.6M+ 2013: $125M+ 2014: $195.5M+ Profit: Net loss 2012: (2.3M+) 2013: (0.7M+) 2014: (15.2M+) $88M cash on hand - so they can afford to run at a loss for a few years while they grow the company. I gue

As a backer of projects, I'd rather have them slowly make 3D printed / hand-made editions for their backers, than get a % of my money back. But I understand why they don't want to spend any more energy on hardware.

Having tremendous success with their first Kickstarter likely helped them get favorable terms when they raised their series A, but that applies to any company, not just Pebble. I don't know what the terms their Angel investors got befo
