Joke aside, I'd like to know how much of their revenue is from accessories. I'm sure it'll be a tiny percentage, but even 1% would be a massive amount of money. And we all know the margin is way bigger than in any other hardw

Yeah, I thought the same thing (specially since 95% of the time I'm using my laptop, I actually have it closed, hooked up to a screen and with external keyboard and mouse). But I guess this will be useful for most casual users, since t

But that's mostly due to how extremely popular are now the two main actors, compared to when they first started doing the show, no?

Quick question about your /blog page: it's more of a /timeline with some milestones + blog posts on it, rather than a blog, right? Is it custom more or is it made with some Wordpress plugin? And third question: you have $450

Well, there could be a niche, upscale market for getting from SF to LA in 30 minutes, like people going for meetings and coming back on the same day. Other modes of transportation takes just too long for that kind of use case. I don't

Well, there's iTunes (a PPV service, of course). I'd like to know how big of a catalog iTunes have in terms of % of the 1,000 most popular movies they have.

To be honest, I don't think startup employees (and by startups I don't mean Dropbox, I mean companies who have to count the cash they spend) are low paid. Obviously a startup can't pay like a company with tons of cash can. In

I'm not sure I quite get what you mean by "issuing early employees restricted stock awards". Can you elaborate? Is this like an IOU for restricted stock? Isn't that kind of like what stock options are (except for common

I'm in the same situation, and I haven't found any marketplace save for Feinternational where you'd be able to buy something like that. Either you can buy SaaS with million+ run rates (which of course cost a lot), or you find

I totally agree. Being a developer is one of the best careers you can have right now. Well paid and high in demand everywhere in the world, very little "soul crushing" (and can even be very fulfilling) compared to most jobs and yo

Well it depends the nature of the project you're starting from scratch. If it's a new project at your employer, there could be factors like "how easy would be to hire / train people to work on this project in the future?

Reminds me of the whole "Just run this cURL request and a payment is made, it's that easy." messaging that Stripe used to have right at the top of their landing page in the beginning, showcasing not only how easy their paymen

Probably, yes. They're buying SolarCity with Tesla stock and paying a 20% or so premium over current SC stock. But yeah, if your friends bought say when SC was 50% up, then now they'll have to wait/hope Tesla stock goes up.

I was just the other day looking for a great app to turn Live Photos into shareable images easily. I feel a well taken Live Photo provides so much more life into that moment than a still photo. My current workflow was Gif Toaster to turn

Taking on ISIS? First, that's easier said than done. They're not an army that you can just take on in open field. See occupation of Irak. But really, the war in Syria and Lybia didn't get started by ISIS and won't end if

I'd also argue the customers are also real losers, more so than employees sometimes that often times can find another job really easy.

Interesting to note that Spain, Portugal & Germany, countries with a long and famous history of right-wing dictatorships, are some of the countries that fare best. And Italy, also with a similar history, is seeing its right-wing party s

Well, when people say Craig Wright is a fraud they mean "he's not the real Satoshi". So obviously, he can't be a fraud in this context and also be the creator of Bitcoin. People really aren't caring at all wether he

Well, investing in startups is a great investment... when you win, like this fund which apparently gave out great returns. But of course, those investors could have also lost all their money. Risk and potential return always go hand in hand

Another awesome benefit of using Uber I didn't realize until I started using it: you get a detailed invoice of each trip you take on your phone, instead of having to ask for a paper one to the driver, wait for it to be printed and then

There were actually some hilarious suggestions on Reddit (not sure if they're all actual submissions) like Usain Boat, Ice Ice Baby, Boatimus Prime, Notitanic, Boats by Dre or Pier Pressure.

Weird they didn't call this the iPhone 6S Mini, but I'll be getting one. Downgraded from an iPhone 6S to a 5S because the big screen is hard to use with one hand, so I'm ecstatic they released this.
