Oh, I know. I wasn't going for a solid experiment. I was curious to know where these guys came from and noticed the pattern in the process, one that I'd noticed before.

I may be wrong and this may be more fueled by my own insecurities about not having gone to a top school, but this attitude that The End of The Degree as the next phase of education shows a real two-faced side to Silicon Valley. You have inv

Yeah, this is one of the criticisms I hate the most. In a world with Watsi and without, the former is a measurably better place.

Hah, yeah. Fully realized what he was trying to do when he mentioned "brown" people.

Love what Watsi is doing. Do you guys plan on crowdfunding for larger initiatives in the future, like shipping vitamins, drugs, condoms, etc to third-world countries?

Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks!

I think Conan's "act as if" advice unknowingly points to a whole field of research that claims that your actions and ideas are reciprocally linked. That is, if your idea of yourself is that you're confident, you'll

That's interesting. Do you have any links to read more about their supply chain and the origins of the iPod Touch?

The iPhone 5 has become relatively less stale in the total mobile phone market compared to what the iPhone 4/4S became. The current model of the phone can still compete, it's good enough. Apple recognizes this, but also knows that

Because the implication is that your identity can eventually be physically tied to every action you take. If everyone were to adopt fingerprint scanners as their method of transaction, there would be no way to uncouple who we are from what

Yes, absolutely. While the idea of fingerprint-purchasing might have interesting applications, what you mention should also be a serious concern. The saddest part to me is that people are attempting to put an end to this worry by saying &qu

Security issues aside, I feel this is also Apple's way of one-upping Amazon's 1-click purchasing as more and more people are transitioning to commerce on touch devices.

I never advocated discontinuing the use of medications. In fact, I acknowledged their efficacy. I'm all for treating the people that cannot function otherwise -- they may have no other choice. I think for millions of others, there are

I agree with you for the most part. There are people with severe, debilitating conditions that may require medical intervention. There are many, many more that have been labeled due to loose diagnosing guidelines to have a psychiatric disor

Good riddance. Psychiatry by and large is a sham field. Physicians who practice it love seeing themselves as artists who are experts in identifying the subtleties of human behavior. That's their way of saying there's very little u
