Used by a significant portion of computer users, ie Windows Phone is not a successful platform, Android is, and if Microsoft can't make a successful phone platform, what chance does this go fund me campaign have. 'Many large tech

Crowd funded, then crowd sourced security updates? Really? I think it is a noble effort with zero chance of success, its like Linux on the desktop, but with the further complication of expecting people to pay $$$ for out of date hardware, w

I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make. My point is that the iPhone took the iPods market from it. Apple had to release a phone to do this, or someone else would have eventually done it. They did not do it to 'up se

Pretty clear in the Jobs autobiography that Apple/Jobs thought that the if people could get 5000 songs on their phone they wouldn't want to carry an iPod around. Nobody was buying tablets before the iPad.... So I'm not sure w

I disagree that just because the phone is more expensive than the ipod it is not cannibalization. The phone literally destroyed the market for the standalone MP3 player, and the price point was doesn't change this. If you listen to the

I think it's technical. Apple are fairly comfortable with their own products taking over their own products (iPod -> iphone, and pushing people from mac to iPad). If they thought that the smart watch would cannibalise the phone mark

I guess, I’m not that big into comic books, most of my exposure has been through cinema and the DC universe movies have overall been very disappointing... Characters like Superman and Batman are up there with the biggest & best of them

Disney seem to be the only company capable of taking stewardship of such huge important characters in a way that keeps fans happy. They seem to understand that they need to respect the history of the IP and allow the brand to grow in as hig

In the UK the benefits of paying into a pension are tax based, you don't pay tax on what you put in, and you then take it out at a lower tax threshold on retirement (compared to what you would pay to have it in your pay packet). If you

I read this and feel lucky. I want to help people who feel this way but do not want to make them feel like they owe anything in return, or that they are different because they need help. I don't know how to do this. I give money to cha

Fairly sure hywind is a 'demonstrator' project used to assess feasibility of large scale deployments +1GW, not just something to keep eco warriors at bay. Subsidy free traditional offshore wind is happening, but this requires good

Apple had to make the iPhone exclusive to the launch network in the US as part of their negotiations to not have any carrier branding and for Apple to retain full control of the software. Nothing to do with downlines or shifting inventory.

It is different because there is only one level of re sellers, these re sellers are not the only path to market for the product, and that path to market when sold through a re seller is pretty clear, ie you know Apple make the phone, you kn

I own a series 2 watch, the one with GPS and I really like it. I bought it not really knowing what I'd use it for but now I've got it setup for what I want I find myself really missing it when I'm not wearing it. My main uses

I think the main difference is that there is a chain of people who profit from selling to their 'downlines', not when a product is sold to an actual customer. The analogy to apple is poor. Apple sell a product that the majority of

Rio de Janeiro has these to help people travel around favelas. Really great as they can be installed nearly anywhere and they allow people to travel from point to point without navigating the potentially dangerous streets.

I think this will be a Crim2Crim business model, selling £100 fakies for £50/£40/£30 real to other crims depending on volume. I'd be interested to find out about who makes the molds / dies and sets up the machines to man

I think one of the main advantages was to get onto the latest (or newer..) ARM instruction set, which I recall did increase performance Vs 32bit chips/instruction. I'm definitely no expert though, any inside knowledge on this?

I tend to work in Oil and Gas, on the subsea installation side of things, the Oil Company doesn't like to advertise the position of subsea assets so I guess making data on them freely available is out of the question. I think the research p

I work in the subsea industry and when our ship has planned downtime we're allowed to go do marine research, basically just looking at the marine life that grows on and around structures at >1000m. So it does happen. Just on a very sma
