In any case, surely the weakest link is airports in less developed countries, which always seem to be much less secure to me.

I can't actually remember the last time I swiped my card and signed for anything, because we in the U.K., like most of Europe, use Chip and Pin (EMV is the official name). I wonder if Square will still function when this gets pushed into th

Really you need 802.1x to do per port authentication. Though really you should still use encryption for all protocols and have strong passwords internally too.

Is this why most enterprise software has poor UIs? since they never had to optimise the UI for customer retention, they just rely on the sales process to get people to buy it.

He literally wrote the book on disruption, which I expect, from your comment, you haven't read. http://www.amazon.com/Innovators-Dilemma-Revolutionary-Busin... He doesn't need to start a company to prove his point because it's not reall

TBH, $30 and not sell it in India due to the risk of cheap imports. At $10 it's not going to sell 3x as many as at $30 in the U.S.

With a 8x difference in wages [1] the price of the book in India should surely be $4 if it is $32 in the U.S. Are suggesting it should be $4 everywhere? which means it's still cheaper in the U.S. compared to salaries. [1] see top item on

Surely, it's hard to draw the line, what if you've written a similar thing before? or spent weeks coding in your head before hand?

People who have experienced the above don't tell everyone the meet about it. So, it's still possible you know people who've experienced the above, especially since many of things you list are quite common.

Sounds like a key problem is the lack of advice that an investor or bank manager could give based on his/her experience.

Not if you are pricing your own labour at a lower cost than it's possible to outsource it. An episode of Big Bang Theory, where Penny makes penny blossoms, illustrates this pretty well: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1256028/

Tesla is trying to make a car company not an electric car company. The electric part is just the new bit, every car will have electric in the future. You can clearly see them innovating with the touch screen display, luggage space, performa

Cause and effect switched? Lots of work probably won't make a failing startup succeed (you are probably going in the wrong direction or wasting time on the wrong things). However, a rapidly growing startup requires a lot of time, when it ta

Putting up 1,000s of cell phone towers isn't exactly cheap and it's not like you can get it done in another country because it has to be done in your home country.

I wonder if the innovator's dilemma will apply here, with cheap Android phones (and Windows too) catching up with the iPhone and they can no longer charge a premium.

I wonder if Facebook would ever consider charging people to only to get rid of the ads.

If they do, it will be to start new companies with their new found wealth I bet. The new PayPal mafia?

I'd suggest testing that you have good retention rate before doing this sort of thing, otherwise it's wasted really.

There is no attempt to educate clients in this just a number of blanket statements. I'm sorry, but in most industries you try to educate clients about what you are doing and why it's valuable - this is just telling people they are idiots.

What is particularly annoying, if you like the Facebook account and they tell you about the upcoming episode, for example Big Bang Theory which won't be on for a couple of months.

I'm just talking about supply and demand which should have kicked in if there is a shortage. Perhaps shouldn't have mentioned Doctors thing, which a different issue.

Is programming that elite though? wages seemed to have hardly changed in the U.K. in the last 10 years (accounting for inflation). Also programming pays a similar amount to other jobs requiring a degree and is certainly a lot less than jobs

"I launch a search and I click. In less than 10 minutes, I've a full movie on my disk. In 20, I've the complete discography of an artist." When I hear about stuff like this, along with people's multi-terabyte arrays of content, I wonder if

I wonder if their model is to franchise out the cleaning to local companies/people, since having 1000s of staff around the country would seem to be impractical for a startup.
