It's not just about taste though, is it? WebOS was beautifully designed, but has basically been unsuccessful. It's really a combination of taste and the ability to execute on it. Jobs wasn't as successful with Next, despite his tastes. He

His was a rare variant though, a neuroendocrine tumor, which can be treated surgically at times.

Just because Hurd decided to bet big on WebOS - it doesn't mean that bet was ever going to pay off. Gruber is correct and HP and Apotheker are going along with their plan as intended. The tablet/phone business was a long shot and their PC

Doesn't the article actually explain why he won't get fired? It suggests that in order to survive he needs to increase HPs market share in enterprise software. Hardware decisions aside, this purchase seems to me to indicate he is doing just

Their computers are not horrible, at least not on the higher end. But the fact of the matter is, if people are looking at higher end devices, they may lean towards a Mac. Their tablets are clearly not selling well. And on the low end, asus

What the country really needs now, more than ever, is coming together to solve problems and less hyperbole, or convenient political rhetoric. There is no central planning in the US. There is nothing even close to central planning. Our polit

If she's scared out of her wits, shouldn't she remove her blog postings, other than the last few that pertain to the episode with AirBnB? It's not that difficult to figure parts of her identity from her prior postings and personally, if it

The author refers to pg's article on Cities and Ambition, and suggests that what is said about NY in the article is changing. I don't think so. The banks will come back stronger than ever, it's just a matter of time, they always do. Other t

Getting certification and offering a $44K incentive are different things. I can understand the former being required of software companies - but the medical providers aren't the one who have to seek certification, they have to purchase the

Personally I don't think the 44K incentive has ever made any sense. All it has done is allow existing EMR providers to charge more for their poorly designed software. Physicians would have switched over on their own, if the reason were com

Interesting, although the author, as many people who work out, follows a diet which someday is gonna catch up with him. Eating lean meats, such as grilled chicken or salmon, is a sufficient source of protein. Hamburger and meatball sandwich

Tell that to the teenage kids who were using twitter to communicate to people that they were under assault. They were able to do it discreetly, without having to vocalize themselves by a phone call. Twitter has it's usefulness, but not ever

This also goes back to how News Corp has changed the Wall Street Journal since it's acquisition. The quality has deteriorated. And it's shows what News Corp real focus is - it's not news, and it's not really conservative or liberal issues e

The article is correct in stating that extended psychotherapy may be as helpful as psychopharmacology in treating many conditions but the problem remains is that it is not well reimbursed. That is something the government needs to take a le

But Aunt Martha joining facebook in the first place is the reason it has been succesful, and differentiated itself from the likes of myspace. One day you may be an Uncle, if you aren't already, and may want to stay connected to your nieces

The article becomes a bit absurd when it makes the implication that entrepreneurs may settle for cheaper locales like Chile or Cabo (I just returned from the latter and trust me although it's beautiful it's anything but cheap). Success dep

The author is correct in suggesting that for any such system to work, there has to be involvement of health care providers and, without being reimbursed, they are not likely to get involved. But I really feel Google Health failed because th

You are correct that it lionizes prosecutors and demonizes Wall Street. The article keeps shifting focus way too much - first it's about Galleon, then about Preet, then the financial crisis, and it ends with a comment about Goldman Sachs, w

Those statistics are a little misleading. In a country where, despite having a few billionaires, by and large everyone is fairly poor - these stats will not show inequality. Because most people in India are equally poor. The second example
