I'm in NY and I've seen very few Teslas. I'm guessing the three biggest reasons why are the small amount of fueling stations compared to California, the controversial NYT review and just simply trusting what you're used to instead of living

I would agree if the only goal was to reinvigorate people who were creative to begin with. However, my concerns lie with the majority who aren't creative because they weren't taught this at home or by the school system when this is becoming

Maybe I will play the bastard in this role, but I respected Ebert far more for triumphing over what he went through than his actual reviews. I watched (and loved) Siskel & Ebert when I was a kid living in NY. When I saw it, it came on l

This is the way it should be done. I will say that social networks like Facebook have introduced some interesting dynamics and engagement that could have not existed otherwise such as Caine's Arcade. I think we're all waiting for the social

Gates used to be that guy. He doesn't care anymore. He's involved in something greater than even what MS was. Under current conditions, I'm not even sure that Gates could even do what he once did but he would drive a shot into the company a

If a project lasts forever than paying or doing anything for that matter, even if it was free, is useless.

I don't believe that 37 is attempting to go for the mass market. At least not yet. This is more for current Basecamp users that are used to an interface and quality they know and expect. I love Evernote but I don't use it for to-do's or pro

He's kept the ship afloat and is good at maximizing profits from MS's traditional businesses. The problem is that Ballmer isn't the person you need in a transitional phase for a company.

Internal politics are one thing but I've yet to hear a story of anyone attempting to overtake Ballmer as CEO when he has Gates' backing. There were stories about the usually tight-lipped Apple and how Forstall was fired while attempting to

You could be right. I don't know which was my point. There are many who want turn turn Aaron's death into a movement. I just want to get the story straight to know where I stand.

Politicians rarely read any bill or law that they vote for. Instead they have underlings to do this. Even then it's a problem because they have to wade through the legalese of a 500 page document with constant changes. For half of their ten

No, it's one thing to talk about technology. It's another to mount a campaign about how the WSJ got the story wrong about stock prices when it will all be settled within a few days. There are other issues that exist at Apple which are far m

AAPL has seen serious fluctuations during the Jobs era as well when everyone thought he was healthy. The day that Jobs showed off the iPad the stock had a serious drop as well. The same goes for the day he shoed off the Macbook Air as well.

This article is the opposite of what I think it should be. >I think the right answer is that Apple just fails to pass the gut test for most people. This is no surprise. Apple holds no significant monopoly so AAPL is volatile. The stock

I don't believe it was the intent of the petition but it may be the end result. I saw a story on Techmeme yesterday where the husband of the attorney supposedly said a plea was offered of six months. I'm not sure if the story was true but,

I don't think it would work well in real-time with barcodes since the human head is in constant movement. Current gyroscopic sensors would not make it a seamless experience.

I don't like this but I don't understand how this deals with "NRA fear." Many NRA members are proud they have a gun. Like anyone else, they are eager to tell or show why like them.

#2 isn't a likely example simply because life doesn't work out that way. The people who steal a gun is usually from someone they know. #3 is possible but, with what has happened so far, conservative bosses have threatened to decline their w
