yes yes yes I think every single consumer facing company should have an API for developers. So many ideas of mine usually end in "one day when that data is available". 20 years from now I imagine it will be the norm.

Well "only mate with a bird of a similar color" seems like a hard problem that is wrapped up in 1.2 billion lines of DNA code/evolution. The 82 letters of DNA that separate them may just be their color codes?

While you're probably joking you make a good point. While improbable, maybe the more experienced fighters started earlier in life while their faces were still growing and were shaped accordingly.

Seems like needing the piston to change directions is a waste of momentum. What about a similar design where a ball is propelled around the inside of a circular doughnut to generate electricity?

Great advice. It was implicit but I was hoping he'd point out explicitly how #6 '80/20 rule' implies #5 'Shipping it'. Its better to get to an audience quicker with something rough and evolve it from there than

I feel like jumping straight into floating resizable screens is too great a leap. I think we have to start off by simulating a desk and two fixed size monitors so the user understands the metaphor, nail that experience and then evolve from

I think you guys are in a great position now to implement a server/client solution in Swift. Effectively re-create Parse in Swift but I imagine CloudKit may have these aspirations? Any comments on what sort of competition the CloudKit

I'd love to see a world where an enormous network of these makes big telecom obsolete. Don't think the issues with big internet will ever push enough people into creating this but at least there's a safety net. Pun intended?

Interesting that you can now hand someone the entire contents of iTunes on a cassette. I wonder how long it'll be until a flash drive can hold this much data? I can usually find any song I want to listen to on youtube, but I think it&#

I 100% agree with this approach but what does it imply for the TV/Movie industry? To me the problem is that they cannot control distribution. So one solution could be baking adverts into the tv/movie. Has the obvious flaw of poiso

This is an excellent point. My guess is that computer drivers will just have to be polite and will be taken advantage of. But maybe they could offer some sort of incentive to other drivers on the road. Imagine getting a check in the mail fo
