I use Path regularly to stay in touch with my close friends I think the interface is beautiful. My Facebook has a ton of people on it, including many relatives whom I feel bad turning down but basically do nothing but share quotations and c

Given the reportedly rapid decline in his health, not entirely surprising. Don't expect major changes in the country's governance. Change comes from the people, with a revolution or uprising, not the death of a leader because of an illnes

1) A mega platform on top of existing EHR's won't be an easy thing. It would require them to play ball and large players, like Epic, probably won't. 2) Chronic disease management is important, but really challenging. People don't really sp

The article ignores the fact that there is a variety of equipment available to further minimize the risk of falls in the elderly - and it's the elderly that really matter, because a fall, in their case, could very well turn out to be life t

Part of the problem is how doctors, and especially psychiatrists, have approached treating depression. There are many people who simply get down once in a while, in response to a particular event or series of events, the way most of us do

The parts of Brooklyn that are closer to the waterfront have become quite expensive, I agree. They are not on par with Manhattan when you compare the actual size of the space, but they are getting closer. They should still be high on the li

NYC is a big place and its not all the same. One could, for example, live in Brooklyn, pay a more reasonable rent and be surrounded by interesting people all with access to great food and bars. I suppose you could stretch that a bit further

Beyond heart rate, I guess the bigger question is how valuable is all of this data for the average, relatively healthy, individual? There is probably some fluctuation in our daily heart rate and O2 sats, etc. that we are not even aware of,

Odd. Medical School was one area where four years actually seemed appropriate to consume the amt of knowledge necessary. As opposed to 4 years of college. To be honest, it's really residency training programs that have become too long. You

Agreed. Mental health problems are not limited to the United States. But widespread, poorly regulated, gun ownership is.

I feel for the parent who has written the article, and whereas I agree we must do more to address the needs of kids with mental illness, I disagree with the stated premise of the article, that it's easy to talk about guns. It's actually no

Really, I've found the case to be just the opposite. I have a friend who had a 15" MBP, prob circa 2009. He kept complaining that a pixel would be missing on the screen on occassion. He tried to point it out to me, but it's something I nev

Signs of his illness were, unfortunately, more evident at the iPad launch, he was much thinner. I think this video pays appropriate tribute to his spirit, and the way he would prefer to be remembered.

The number of users implies that if they have more users, they will be able to generate more revenue. I'm stating i don't know what their future plans for revenue generation are but, in the end, that's all that's gonna matter.

No. If they could make billions of dollars in revenue with just 100 users, that would be fine with investors.

Interesting. Musks' political contributions are widespread, not to one single party, but apparently none for Romney, allowing him to make such a comment: http://www.opensecrets.org/usearch/index.php?q=elon+musk&#38...

It is really not 1/3 the quality. It has errors, without question, but so did Google Maps when it first launched. To partner with another company and then, in a few years again switch to their own maps and start over or partner again with y

I'd like to know how many times he has been able to use NFC in the US. Does he seriously believe Apple can't throw in a little chip? There are other reasons they don't do this, mostly because of the inability to have much impact on how paym

This is dreadfully wrong. There's a bunch of activity in the healthcare space, which is currently heavily reliant on pen and paper. They will soon transition to PC's, many institutions already have, and the results will be dramatic. Mobile

To be honest, despite its flaws, it's going to be ok for most of the people, most of the time. Navigation is going to be a big boon. Using it I haven't noticed major differences personally. Some restaurants are in the wrong location, but o

It's interesting to note how, unless I've missed it, the verge has been left out of the party. I enjoy reading Joshua's reviews, which are critical when appropriate, although somewhat verbose. I'm sure the iPhone 5 is solid, I'll probably

Just as a note to anyone with the same problem, I had difficulty renting a movie recently on my iPad because I was told I have no storage space available. This was unusual because I have hardly any photos on my iPad and almost no music. I l
