Yes, and as Hasbro does so, they destroy one of my favorite games as a kid (Risk). Sorry for the tangential comment, but I was floored I discovered what they did to the game, as I was searching for Risk (the classic) at local stores to buy

Nobody is engaged with their phone. Their engaged with their SO, and use their phone to reach them. There are no engaging apps on the iOS at all. My son, and millions of others, who continue to feed the coffers of such companies as Superc

Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers are usually much cheaper than wire transfers (often free at credit unions). http://www.mybanktracker.com/news/2013/03/20/ways-send-money...

Having auto-complete is not the issue. You have to look at the patent claims, which would describe a specific approach. In this case, it seems to involve Apple's specific approach to auto-complete when paired with a touch screen interf

Many credit unions that have a relationship with such a car-buying service typically advertise as such on their website.

I really don't know much about them beyond my own limited experience as a shopper (about 6 years ago). I came to know of a local broker (southern California) via a referral at about the time I was looking to buy a new car, and decided

Costco (supposedly) has pre-negotiated, no haggle pricing. I used them in the past, and the experience was great (except for the trade-in). Also, there are still car brokers that you can hire to do your bidding.

I hadn't heard of DrawQuest before today, but an idea I had while browsing the site is to add a marketplace module, possibly centered around crowd-sourced greeting cards. People can build/buy greeting cards using the creative wor

I think it goes a bit beyond that. The way I understand the story, they shut down because it wasn't bringing the traction necessary to raise the next round . The company needed a VC-backed growth trajectory, which apparently was not

Tesla began delivering their roadster to customers in 2008.

Considering that Telsa brought in $116M in revenue in 2010, I find the 2010 count suspect. http://www.teslamotors.com/about/press/releases/tesla-motors...

From a developer perspective, one of things that Apple does very well is to move people to quickly adopt new versions of iOS. As of December, iOS 6+ covers over 95% of its user-base. http://appleinsider.com/articles/13&

That wasn't my experience with Time Warner and my Motorola cable modem, at least as far as dealing with modem issues (firmware). They referred me to Motorola.

Time Warner wants nothing to do with my (own purchased) cable modem beyond allowing me to use it. The vendor will only provide firmware patches to cable operators, and Time Warner won't touch my modem to help get the firmware upgraded

What company leadership allowed to happen shows a real disrespect for one of the primary risks to the business. Without having the explanation that you described, the two most likely explanations in my mind are either this was standard pra

My wife and brother are both teachers. While the systems that they use are far from "joyful", the issues being portrayed from the teacher perspective are being overblown. Perhaps the administration has bigger issues?

Schools need industry mandated open standards that force the systems to inter-operate. This isn't it.

Understood, but my question was specific to the current entities (exchanges/whatever) in the market that let you purchase bitcoin.

@jnbiche, do you think that most "grandmas" have the ability to securely manage a bitcoin wallet? Based on all the reports of people losing bitcoins, and difficulty with redeeming from places like Mt.Gox in a timely manner, it ap

I am not invested in bitcoin, so this may be a naive question, but is there any explicit promise that your funds will be available within n-time? There appears to be a gap in expectations. These entities do not seem to be brokerages, alth

Being "young" doesn't make anything a solid investment, and there is no tangible evidence that BTC has entered "slow'n'steady" growth, or crash to $1. Point of warning people to not exit BTC if it crashes

I applaud Clever's effort, but a superior solution to this problem is an industry standard, open interface. The market may be too fragmented for something like this to get off the ground, but it is sorely needed, and putting all the e
