I wonder if epigenetics [1] can also explain some of what you're saying. Genes can be regulated in different ways - and that can explain differences in identical Twins. [1] http://www.livescience.com/25431-gene-regulati

Not really a challenge to Apple. Apple doesn't care about books. Any garden you buy an ebook in can be read on an iOS device via ereader apps, including Scribd's app. Apple is happy to let app publishers innovate on software produ

Uh, it's still wrong. That's the point.

It's really because of Apple and their rules. Apple discourages Free and Pro versions of the same app (they may have loosened that up recently, but at one time, in an effort to combat app clutter and promote IAP, they would reject you)

Correction. Apple's A7 is fabricated by Samsung. It is wholly designed by Apple. They're just using Samsung's foundry.

Also known as the internet. j/k It's a great idea. What I'd love to see is a way for you to be able to check out physical books in ebook form, maybe by scanning their ISBN while you're browsing the stacks.

Drucker famously said that the price of something has nothing to do with it's cost. The market doesn't care how inefficient you are at picking tomatoes. The fact is, you'll be out of business because there will be other farms

Right. Why does Google need to paid for this? Any dollar figure would be insignificant, not scaleable and not part of their core business. Selling naming rights to their SDKs?! Are these baseball stadiums?

You're right. I jumped the gun on that. But Amazon knows that consumer pressure will cajole publishers to fall in line. Also, Wholesale is a club they can wield when they negotiate with publishers to join in on matchbook.

by gdilla 13y ago
Yeah.. I didn't think that through. Amazon becoming more monopolistic isn't 'absolutely' awesome for the consumer. You're right. Heck, the price of physical books on amazon may start to creep up now - no one can com

This is awesome for the consumer, absolutely. And it's only made possible by the recent DOJ trial that effectively allowed Amazon to set prices of ebooks (wholesale vs agency model). Recall that agency model, the publisher sets the pri

It's an interesting problem. All the cream of the crop 20 somethings now will be 35 one day. Even people like mark zuckerberg will be 35! But I guess the question is relative value. In baseball or basketball, a younger age does make a

Much of Apple's metoric rise in the 2000s was from destroying everyone in mp3 players and then 2008, a thing called the iPhone. And selling lots of those.

You can certainly be incomprehensible in your native language. See Sarah Palin. It wasn't the accent that made her hard to understand.

Having your first kid does too. Of course, you may feel like you REALLY need to unwind when there's a screaming baby taking up all your awake time, but, one thing about being a (responsible) parent is that you always have to be 'o

Hiring a good editor on your own seems far more valuable than giving up control of pricing your own ebooks, and getting 17cents[1] on the dollar for digital royalties though. [1] http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2010/09&#x

Well this was obvious. When Facebook started, your parents, and grandparents had no idea what it was. And therefore it was interesting. Now, it's like a perfunctory listing of every human you know, including family members. It's l

And is GS average pay skewed by a 1% of employees who make globs of money into the 10s of millions in total comp? Do the majority of staffers make normalish wages? Admin assistants, IT, operations, etc?
