>I imagine a world where you can get anything on demand in minutes, and in that scenario Uber is the taxi, UPS, FedEx, etc. at the same time. And, with that, the feeling that Amazon.com will snap this company up for cash and stock is alm

This is really cool stuff. Reminds me of a stripped down version of notch's live coding sessions for Ludum Dare. Any reason you chose LaTeX as your content dev language and publishing over something a little "easier" like Doc

I bought my wife the CV-DSC40 kettle. She drinks green and Jasmine and uses the water for her Bodum coffee press. The scaling is only for really hard water areas. It is overkill if you don't use it all that much (we use and refill at l

I guess since TN is a stone's throw away from NC, it stands to reason that the Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) sees its fair share of Leafs on the road as well (as I sit smiling and equally as smug behind the wheel of my Prius).

I thought that little SIM chip in my Visa Debit card from my Credit Union here in the States was just for show until I was forced to use it everywhere I went in Vancouver, Canada. I guess they've either been stung enough by fraud up there t

Congratulations, you are not their primary consumer: Impulse buyers who even if they have a set list of things they are going to buy end up going off-list nearly every time. They need that DVD from the bargain bin, they need that extra bo

Water is both a matter of public trust and run by the town, at least here in Research Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), North Carolina USA. It never gets shut down (unless you don't pay for 2 whole months, and even then only if you'r

One sticking point in my mind is that people always seem to conflate our pharmaceutical and medical technology industry with our healthcare and health insurance system, which are different areas completely. They think that if we don't have

Just to compare apples to insurance here, the largest pure auto insurer (progressive) maintains ~5-6% profit margins according to filings, whereas Wellpoint one of the largest insurers in healthcare maintains a 7% margin.

So, you're Friendster one year, Facebook the other? Don't most industries work in the same "it-girl" cycles?

"the consumer has to see the reduced overhead filtered down into their prices." I think lack of competition (as described in the article) causes these hyper-inflated prices. If these gourmet organic locavore so-and-so food trucks had to com

The devil's advocate in me will tell you the truth as only I see it, not as the up/down votes in this board of mostly libertarian social darwinist and would-be technocrats will indicate: The reason Denmark's system (or Australia's, or Canad

Maybe capital growth is decoupled from job growth, but why is it that Apple and Google and Walmart and Target and Whole Foods and Starbucks and GE and your local busy restaurant and market and machine shop are still hiring like bananas? Dem

You can easily check if you have a 4g (LTE, HSPA+, WiMax, etc.) and checking the same youtube video in HD. It's truly night and day and really got me so mad at Roadrunner once I discovered that.

Actually, UC Santa Cruz and the NHGRI/NIH embarrassed Celera by publishing the human genome and setting the whole thing public domain several days before Celera could publish then patent their mappings. And, anyway, the only reason Venter w

Eminent Domain is a very real and oft-used legal power that is given, especially by individual states in the US to seize property for whatever "public use" those governments deem worthy, including (but not limited to) road widening, infrast

This actually supports my theory that the 90s were the greatest decade in popular culture history. It jibes so well with the (arguable) Golden Age of Rap/Hip-Hop music as well as the Seattle Grunge and Hard Rock renaissance. Rap in the 90s

But, he didn't ask for that; he just put it out there and let the art world have at it. The fact that most of his preferred canvas is illegal (and by that nature, ephemeral) makes him firmly anti-establishment.

That was such a fascinating movie. Hopefully not spoiling much of it, but the way the subject of the documentary seesaws from Banksy to "the director" and back was really interesting. I'm not sure what to believe by the end of that document

Odd, I bought the dual-link adapter from monoprice and I thought I got gypped when my wife's Yamakasi Catleap would wake from sleep that way. I guess mini-displayport is just flaky in general.

This echoes my usage patterns as well, and I'm 37; the only difference is I had a reasonable CD collection (~250 discs) before I met Napster and AudioGalaxy back in the late 90s. I only ever rented VHS/DVDs and I buy blu-ray used and onl

No. It would be an iPod 5 that would work on your commute to and from work, quite a few places in between for groceries and errands, then pick up dinner, then back home where you would naturally charge things. You don't have to charge you

"700,000 apps isn't consistent with the way Apple's other stores operate." I thought Apple quite liked touting their 25+ million tracks in their iTunes music store catalog.

Could it be? Does this mean my wife and I can use our unlocked iPhones with voice-only (t-mobile, maybe?) sim cards and use this Karma thing as our data plan? We're paying US$15/mo each for 200MB data. It's ridiculous. And, we're on HSPA+

Wasn't it Steve Jobs himself who said to President Obama at a dinner that "those jobs aren't coming back" when talking about high-tech manufacturing? I've been reading about other technology companies besides Apple doing this as well. Eleme
