We’d miss eink, guitar hero, Lego mindstorms, Scratch (though we’d have Blockly), and wireless mesh networks (though DARPA prioritized that too). I’ve used the Oblong system & it’s pretty cool. The concept of each pixel having a 3D coor

Companies that operate in multiple regions sometimes use these buttons to make language-specific or region-specific content available. For example, some cars may only be available in some regions or may have different branding. Another exam

The correct term is “propaganda”. We shouldn’t use the term “fake news”, which is a term designed to undermine trust in news institutions. When we use the term, we contribute to the undermining.

Start with making rings. It sounds silly, but they’re small so they print fast so you’ll get to learn fast. Plus, people will enjoy them. Containers is a great next step from rings. They’ll encourage learning about fit, coordinate systems,

Based on the data points of “iWoz”, “Steve Jobs”, “Becoming Steve Jobs”, NeXT, and Pixar my guess is Jobs without Woz does something different, but doesn’t create Apple. The Mac was mostly created without Woz, but the Apple ][ is what paid

The phone started as an extension of the computer (iTunes was required for backup, app purchases, and syncing). The Watch is following that progression, iterating toward a stand-alone device.

Incorporation requires a bunch of info, plus the step of registering the company. The claim in the headline is wrong as far as I’m able to tell. Edit: In my original comment I added some links.
