Don't quit just because you have disagreements. Some studies have shown that disagreement is actually healthy and encourages learning, as long as it isn't bitter tit for tat disagreements (as long as it's not personal). Don't quit befor

Thanks. I am worried about noise, and this is definitely sound advice. I know I need to maintain focus, especially over the next few weeks, so I'll definitely do what you suggest. I was conflicted because at my last internship, my ignorance

I apologize for being unclear. You are correct on the clock starting, but the clock can also be adjusted by the PTO if your patent is delayed in approval if I am understanding what is below correctly. If all patents granted to 'small busine

From my limited understanding, if you simply submit a application, you are protected until it is reviewed plus the time granted with a patent. So if you pay the new smaller amount, and it takes the PO 5 years to review your patent instead

I disagree, but I think it depends on the person as well. You can use facebook to do whatever you desire with it. While people try to 'censor' themselves in many social situations, I think society as a whole is moving towards more acceptanc

Eh, I agree somewhat, but I think it depends on the idea. Don't forget about the multi-year monopoly patents give you, and that business methods patents are still around ( http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/app-security/sh... ). S

This should be pretty successful in the right markets. We started doing a somewhat similar idea at a hotel a year or two ago (though not slick): http://wellsbeachmaine.com/roomphotos.html We've found it's absolutely great, and both reduce

Depends what you're looking for. Industry information is covered by the NAICS. http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/ Since that's put out by the govt, it should be recognized as accurate by anyone you're working with. If it's a smaller ind

You are selling your site to potential users. If you have a specific target user, write your message so that it'll sell directly to them.

Interning at the Eureka Ranch this past summer (eurekaranch.com), one of the key things they taught us was that through quantity you can often find quality. By coming up with as many descriptions of your company in as many ways as you can,

Do you know if there were any legal cases regarding these issues, or if that's simply the way things worked out? I'm sure I can find the cases if there were some, so please don't search for them if you don't know them off hand. Thanks again

Also, if I do buy a new engine that needs to specially fit into my awesome Mercedes, I do pay my mechanic a small fee, but the mechanic is the one that makes it work in my Mercedes (the programmer that makes the program work on an Apple OS)

I'm not arguing that a Honda Civic alternator won't work in my Mercedes and that's a bad thing. That's like saying I'm upset that apps built for the Google OS don't work for an Apple OS. I'm wondering why I can't buy an 'aftermarket' part f

If the state I lived in only had one supermarket chain, and the only way I could shop somewhere else was if I moved to another state, that supermarket chain would be called a monopoly, yes? Just because I can move to another state doesn't m

I guess I'm asking more if Microsoft was allowed to charge anyone that built/builds a program for Windows. By your logic, they should be allowed to, because Apple OS/Linux exist. Now that Apple OS for desktops/laptops is more widely used an
