I am not sure what you mean by "mass access", but the Apple II was a mass-market personal computer. However, what you might describe as mass-market today is certainly different than in the 1980's, but similarly, the personal

Apple brought on the personal computer revolution long before Wintel. Wintel innovated and monopolized.

Bringing personal computing to the masses is pretty important.

Sorry, what's an "A-70"?

Comparing Apple's smartphone business to Microsoft does not appreciate the position that Microsoft was in during the 1990's. They essentially owned personal computing. They could put you out of business with a single announcement

You would be fooling yourself if you think somebody within Google isn't planning for the day that YouTube commenting is merged with G+ social streams. As they look to leverage social signals to improve search, centralizing the user&#x

In the US, patents expire after 20 years, so I doubt that patents have much to do with Steinway's value in today's market. (IANAL)

Regarding your phone call example. In my experience, most call from unlisted phone numbers, and they will keep trying to engage you in conversation until you hang up.

It can be bait to incentivize people to more closely follow a brand. Exlusive, limited time offers for people that follow on twitter and Facebook.

If so. that would be incredibly annoying. To many syllables to simply for triggering the listen event. How about they ditch the product branding requirement and just go with "OK phone", or even 'OK Google"? Ideally it

I dont see an issue with investing in mobile. The cell phone is (mostly) a new distribution channel; a means of reaching consumers. It was critical that Google have unfettered access to its users, although these days mobile is increasingl

I am American, and I have no idea of what Duck Duck Go means. Possibly an inside joke? I personally think the name is a limiting factor, and they would be better off with something else (DDG?).

Having to explain why something could be "huge" shows how well you understand the market.

My experience is that the typical online flight booking websites show when a flight is serviced by an affiliate. That's typically a clue that the flight will be on a smaller regional jet.

The clear difference from your typical wistleblower case is that Snoden allegedly downloaded significant classified material, threatened to release this material, and has traveled to a cointry that would be a primary benefactor of this clas

Why do you think your government is scared?

If it was known (assumed) that Snowden sent Greenwald files, don't you think every intelligence group in the world with an interest in obtaining US classified information would be very motivated to obtain that chip?

by ryanhuff 13y ago
Interesting. I won't pretend to understand Snowden's motives, but the SCMP Wikipedia page does bring into question SCMP's independence from China, so I would appreciate it if you could comment on the issues noted on the wikip

Your description of what defines a startup is myopic and one dimensional. Would you consider a SpaceX competitor to be a startup? They would certainly not be about 5% week over week growth. I bet the race to reach the "hockey-stick&q

The only mention of SCMP being a "top newspaper" that I could find is in reference to it being the most profitable newspaper (per reader) in the world. However, according to Wikipedia, its independence from the Chinese government

I am in California, and my understanding is that teachers-in-training normally put in a certain number of hours of time in an actual classroom before they earn their teaching credential. Perhaps teachers in other states have a different ex

What specifically is he claiming that the US did against foreign governments, and what law did this activity breach? At this point, all I can gleam is that the US spies on other countries, as do many others.

Isn't there is a difference between whistle-blowing what you believe to be misdeeds by your government against its citizens, and disclosing what are essentially military secrets to foreign governments? I haven't been following th
