At least see the product first, before making such a statement. Apple does quite well by entering a market late (digital music, phones, etc.) and then dominating it by making superior products and user experiences. If Apple releases the pro

My dermatologist prescribed handfuls of tetracycline to battle my teenage acne. I took around 8 pills of the stuff daily for years. My GI tracks been messed up for years and there was very little improvement in my acne.

My most innovate times are during procrastination. My brain subconsciously looks for something else to do, and my very best ideas come at this time. When I'm razor focused on the task at hand (i.e. NOT procrastination), there's no

Just because you posted a few example articles, does not negate the fact that the media fails to provide front-page coverage of such an important issue.

This solves a very specific type of schematic entry where you're connecting tons of digital buses and I/Os. It's pretty tedious and error prone to do this in a schematic editor. If you're ever done a 50-plus page schema

Way back when the dinosaurs roamed, and we had "PDAs", Palm tried to do this with their Visor "Springboards." These module would slide in the back and give you all sorts of awesomeness like "more memory, temperature

The company has been around for 10 years, with hundreds of millions in funding through multiple rounds, so I would not consider this a "startup". The employees were/are highly paid and not assuming any real risk.

They did not "give away" their time; they were compensated at a fair market value for their time. I believe this is what we call "employment."

Wouldn't it be great if laptops had a "dewalt" powertool style bottom plate. You could decide if you want the "thin" or "thick" baseplate to balance between all-day battery life vs. ultra-thin portable 3-

You need to consider the fact that Tim is creating a real asset that has a market valuation based on a multiplier of revenue and/or profits. In the business I created with my cofounder, we never made that much on a monthly basis, but w

One option to curb the abuse is to increase the fee each team they abuse a parking spot. Eventually the fee would be high enough that even the rich will balk at it. Over time the fee could be brought back down.

In doing a quick google search on this question, it seems to be "YES". Payback is in the 4 year range where the service life of the panel is in the 20-plus year range.

You might have been equally socially awkward in a public high school. I had an extremely hard time fitting into the social scene at high-school because the people/tone were "fake" in my opinion. College however, was great -

I had custom LASIK done about 7 years ago where they cut the "flap" with a laser. After a month my vision stabilized but it was still not good enough, so they did a second "touch up" operation. I've had great visio

The New Iphone 7 with iP67 water-resistance rating will negatively affect GoPro sales. People will likely bring their iPhone to the beach/lake if they trust it doesn't get damaged by an accidental water splash.

Trees are only sequestering the CO2, not removing it, so this seems like a bad solution at solving our removal of CO2. Also, for a densely populated area, where do you propose people go to plant said trees where they can survive without ma

The speed of the line is important because it is directly tied to the output in the form of the "pipeline". The question then become how long is the pipeline? 1day, 2days, 20 weeks? In which case you wait x-amount of time for th
