It's ironic to me that payroll taxes (which theoretically exist for the employee's benefit) have forced a promising and growing company to lay off staff. Have you tried hiring a tax attorney to negotiate with the IRS? Often they w

Spectral analysis (via drone, satellite, airplane etc) is good but won't give you the resolution of 1 chip per plant. It does seem labor intensive to implant every plant, but not impossible. Even large farmers trim and take cuttings fr

Interesting-- tensiometers have been used in soil for a few years now, but never implanted into the plant. Tensiometers basically measure the pressure change caused by plant roots soaking up water.

Is there are real advantage to have this running on the device? Why not use lower profile hardware like electric imp and run everything in the cloud?

Rapportive is pretty cool tool to have. Aside from the standard NSA paranoia stuff mentioned in the article, what's the real danger for an average person who wants the rapportive experience on mobile?
