Nobody accurately forecasted the Wii's popularity. Nintendo would have been insane to actually make as many consoles as they ended up needing. Nintendo's released a lot of products and while not having enough supply is annoying, d

The Bush thing is almost certainly a fake story. He was playing along with being impressed by some new UPC code reader technology that was being demonstrated that could read damaged UPCs. http://www.snopes.com/history/a

The touch strip would be even more of a joke on any other machine because you'd guarantee 0% buy-in from software developers. The only reason it's getting any positive feedback from anyone is because it's Apple and people are

The RPG idea is something that has been tried for ages - the earliest example I can remember is the "Chocobo World" minigame on specific interactive memory cartridges for Final Fantasy VIII for the Playstation I. More recent examp

You're correct, and I apologize for the misinformation. I'll add an addendum to my post reflecting this.

I was always skeptical but the thing that made me concretely understand why these valuations aren't real is when I learned about liquidation preferences. At least a 2x liquidation preference is standard for most VC investments (Y Combi

They haven't done anything remotely extraordinary since Steve J left. I don't know why people are so charitable towards Apple when everything indicates it's a company that's no longer what it was. To quote someone, &quot

We can, and do have video chat at eye-level but most people seem not to like it. Typing is a first step and is a great way of testing the technology and verifying that the sensors are working as expected, as it's extremely obvious how

As a college graduate, I'd be ok with student loan relief as long as it's funded by a tax on college graduates (and it has to be preceded by something preventing this occurring in the future, like making student loan debt discharg

I have two takeaways from this article: 1.) Your organization is in a rough state right now (for any number of reasons, some outside of your control), and you're likely to have more difficulties going forwards. 2.) You haven't suc

Buzzfeed always gets the kid gloves treatment in the media and somehow became one of "the cool kids" despite being a website built on dumb viral content like so many others. No surprise, I guess - big names like Andreessen Horowit
