There are secure services for IM/VOIP and maybe email(npt sure how secure) and of course TOR. Some are very easy to use like Redphone/textSecure which integrate transparently with android calls/meessaging. As far i can unders

Yes, new advertising innovations have power. Partially positive, partially negative. But most new startups don't invent new advertising techniques. They don't grow the amount of attention. They just fight for the piece of the current atten

1. convenient to buy - online will probably win , i think. From my personal perspective it's more convenient now for many products. 2. don't get to physically interact - most products don't need physical interaction , just visual one. And

Is it realistic that google will be the only self driving car company or even better by a large margin than others ? There are quite a few competitors today. And i think the u.s. government will highly oppose such situation, Since such situ

If amazon's big plan is to gain a monopoly like status , which many investors think it is, this competition and price erosion is a big threat both to future amazon and it's current investors. And hurting the stock is a good way as any to hu

Mail order catalogs never offered the opportunity to transcend the experience at a store. Digital experiences do theoretically offer that possibility. One example is using virtual augmented reality to see how that shoe rack will look in you

Amazon bought kiva robotics last year. That's a company that builds robots for e-commerce warehouses. They increase worker productivity by 4x, reduce error to zero and decrease space needed. Using such robots for groceries might increase am

But small urban retailers have some disadvantages: Higher prices, small selection and lousy experience. E-commerce might improve the total value.

Kim dotcom is working on a secure, easy to use email[1].And until then , if you're interested in security , it's probably best to use a secure messaging app like textSecure. [1] http://www.itnews.com.au/News/342446,kim-dotcoms-mega-workin..

One solution to avoid the need to coordinate between countries is tax access to markets, meaning just use VAT. Of course there will be a need to collaborate on equal taxes between states. But as people said here the loopholes are probably

What I don't get is: it is theoretically possible to build at least some technologies that offer anonymity together with personalization. Google don't seem to do it. Is it because they tend to support the government position that we need th

It's pretty easy to physically separate people but still let them communicate with others. It looks like revenge.

Does this work for telepresence and if so how?

I liked this comment , but instead of funding local talent ,wouldn't it make more sense to fund the best solutions for important problems ? Yes the direct financial gain might be a bit less(specially with today's thin startups), but better

is there a difference in routes between the grocery shipping and UPS ?

Like you say, there would be quite few opportunities in this area. Few I can think of: 1. Teaching students how to teach well. In a shared learning environment, those who could teach will be rewarded in some way. 2. There are a million
