Few articles on here lately regarding government "security" operations and the TSA. I can sympathize with these people, however most of the issues I have personally encountered have been outside the US, not while leaving the State

Free market decisions will work when the patient has a choice. For example, when going for an outpatient visit to a doctors office that is scheduled in advance. One could argue that the patient has time to review their choices, call differe

Sad but lets not make the mistake of thinking this is limited to the United States. It's how most governments respond to what they feel, correctly or not, are security threats. I'm of indian origin as well and was traveling in In

Who knows, but I can say this. I've started using Yahoo mail regularly again, and I've started giving it out as my preferred email contact again. And, at least until ios 7 comes out, I've been using Yahoos weather app pretty

Obamacare really hasn't been fully implemented though. Until insurance companies cannot bar anyone with pre-existing conditions, and until the exchanges go into effect, it's hard to truly say what premiums and coverage will be lik

It's important to note that none of this decline was attributed to medications which are meant to manage the symptoms. These medications are, IMO, largely useless.

"Dr. Smith said federal Medicare regulation would not allow for their online price menu. They have avoided government regulation and control in that area by choosing not to accept Medicaid or Medicare payments." This is simply not

Hope they are able to grow their consumer service. I've found it tremendously useful. I used it when I proposed to my girlfriend, to hire talent. I also used it to pick up something very important from Jfk airport that I had left on my

Honestly, it is the tech mecca of the world, so what would one expect? If you move elsewhere, like Portland, and if you hope the tech community continues to grow there - then eventually wouldn't you be hearing about series A rounds in

Interesting read, and a valid criticism of the costs associated with ACL repair in the US. It would be nice to know, however, how much your insurance company actually paid for the procedure. There's probably a large discrepancy there. My o

Yes, part of it is registering vets into the system. The other part is a combination of the enormous number of claims and enormous amount of documentation required. As a physician, I worked in C&P (compensation and pension) clinics for

Not really a fair comparison though. Although they may be in a similar price range as the Tesla, the BMW 7 series and the Audi A8 are not the flagship models for either BMW or Audi. Yet because Tesla only has one model, the S, the compariso

Correct, i meant tam, not valuation.

Having made several angel investments, I can tell you my eyes kind of roll when I hear the billion dollar valuation. It's very apparent when a startup has taken the number 1 billion and then just divided it by the potential number of users

Interesting. I guess the only question that comes to mind is how accurate is the calorie data, which is really what seems to drive this. Accurate calorie data is really hard to come by, unless it's specifically assessed in a lab setting. I

Given the discussions they've reportedly been having with Yahoo http://mobile.theverge.com/2013/4/9/4206794/apple-and-yahoo-... I wonder if Yahoo's new, aesthetically pleasing IMO, weather app is an indication of things to come to iOS.

I don't disgree with the viewpoint of this article. However, having served on a hospital credentials committee, and bearing witness to what type of lawsuits medical providers have been subject to, I can assure you that if a physician advise

Interesting. There was a Rock Health company that created an app using this technology. The app is called Cardiio. I know the founders were from MIT/Harvard but can't recall if they were the same people who conducted this research.

And to add to this we are heading into an era of what appears to be declining reimbursements. If not declining, then there certainly have not been increases commensurate with increases in the cost of training. Students are always told ther

Transparency is important but in and of itself it's not enough. What's really important is the ability of transparency to lead to price reduction. Regardless of government intervention, this is likely going to happen soon. Premiums have bee

I've never used Summly but perhaps it would have come in handy when reading this article. Many businesses have been built by riding on the backs of others. A good number of them have already been mentioned in the discussion here. Many oth
