Sadly, Facebook. EDIT: Ill add some detail to my point; Google ramped up huge to where they are now, Facebook has been ramping up as well - but as Google enters maintenance mode with all of its service and tech - Facebook is still in a mass

Pedantic much, christ - I in no way was inferring that the qwiki would or should supersede food production. Get off your high horse - youre an asshole. To say that you lack vision because you are focused on all the reasons why something doe

Like I said - you're thinking in the past. Have some vision. We can pipe that content via satellite, dump it to a DVD even if needed. It is "anemic" on information becuase THEY JUST FREAKING LAUNCHED. Wait 5 years.

But that is still valuable! Imagine a curated syllabus using Qwiki for K-5th grade topics that can be shown to children ALL OVER THE WORLD and effectively provide a basic level of education to every single kid on the planet. Pipe a data fee

I disagree. Eventually, Qwiki can provide a very very good lesson on varied topics in a very consumable manner. Ever see the movie 'Dune'? Where Paul is learning about Arakis on the video terminal? That is what Qwiki is doing - as a platfor

Fine, ill add some detail to my snarky comment. There is so much going on in the valley and in tech right now that frankly has all happened before. Given the market conditions now are far more ripe for all these services, which allows them

hint: don't use facebook. I know a lot of people. I don't have an account on FB. Absolutely zero % of the people I know have stopped talking to me even though 95% of them all have an account. I trust FB far less than any site online. Fun Fa

I'm sure you got it - but my point was that I was expecting them to use all 'HTML 5' to render their HTML 5 logo... Not that I am condoning it, I was just expecting it.

Great article - though obviously if you didnt have the connections you do, your trip would have been far more pedestrian. How can people get intros to FoundersDen?

What would be interesting would be an HTML !diff type search: Find all the pages that are coded similar to this [example]. This would allow comparison of code and see how others do things.

I agree, I would say that what we need, to your point, is a single site which all manufacturers upload product details for side by side comparison. I worked at a startup in 1999 that did this: decide.com The idea was to show side-by-side ph

>Other outlets, such as many supermarkets, may be unwilling to stock the products because they make enormous profits from cleaning products that need to be replaced regularly, and liquid glass would make virtually all of them obsolete.

That's because they are NANO - of course you can't see them - they are far too small.

Soon, cards with NFC embedded in them will have memorable marketing info etc and no contact info printed on them at all. You get some sort of thought provoking info/material - but just read NFC to get the regular data.

I do like the concept, and I also agree with the sentiments of others about how a physical biz card is an important tool. I would suggest to make this better would be to make it a hell of a lot faster to receive cards; Allow all the functio

While that may be true, I find the writing, editing and overall journalistic style to be a bit lacking. Just in the last week I have read at least two articles with blatant spelling and other errors, as if not even the author proof read the

My point was he spoke as though there were no efforts on open source EHR. The fact is, that there is a lot of work going on - what is needed is actual leadership.

I think he was speaking a little too soon... obviously thats a too engineering focused response. There is so much thought going on in this area, the next year is going to be very interesting in healthcare.

Sounds like Eric hasnt heard of OpenVista. Also, he is simplifying the problem. I agree with him - but there are some major factors in this problem that are more than just the simple "go open source" solution he seems to propose. Namely, it
