The iOS and Android part is privative. There are open source approaches to do the same, but they don't share code, and use different technology, as far as I remember, the Open source one uses Dalvik while the other not in Android for e

Well, you should not seat for long periods of time. If you do you train your body, the same way that if you look just with one eye you modify the eye you don't use, you modify your spine if you seat or use heels for long periods of tim

Medical prices are so outrageous in the US that, in theory, the medical business is a good field for startup disruption. Real disruption, not showing prices on a page but having actual good doctors at a good price. There is a monopoly today

That's NASCAR, not F1. In F1 you see real cars, doing real curves, not the thing NASCAR does like having a car that only could turn one way. In F1 you see cars going through the streets of Monaco or Valencia, or German circuits that yo

It depends on what you define "pretty successful". If you come from an American point of view, then success = money and nothing else. In America you need lots of money for everything, just giving a good education for your kids is
