Throwing $2B at startups isn't going to create a new generation of entrepreneurs. 1. Fix the healthcare system. Right now, you're punished if you don't work for a large company in the sense that you're charged up the wazoo for health insura

Best Buy simply would have had to match Amazon in order for me to buy it in their store. Because I didn't need the backpack immediately, I'd rather save $20. The backpack was $80 at Best Buy and $60 on Amazon, so it was a pretty good savin

Last year, I needed a backpack for travel/multi-use/etc. Something that would fit my laptop, a small video camera, and misc other stuff. I went to Best Buy to see what they had, and it wasn't much. They had one bag that looked nice though

I used that feature last week and it's quite amazing. Like you, I'd be worried about theft though. I literally walked into the Apple Store, to the back, grabbed a Bumper off the wall, opened the Apple Store app on my phone, scanned the Bum

I'd be interested to hear your success with teachers directly. My wife's a high school teacher, so I know that teachers pay out of pocket for almost everything. Depends on how passionate the teacher is often.

I'd be interested to see some stats from some a/b testing on this.

Ideas like this make me wonder "who had the need to pay somebody via Twitter?" I honestly can't think of an instance where that would come up in my daily life. How is this simpler than regular credit cards and Square?

I like talks if they're compelling stories, but in my experience, most aren't. They're usually canned same-old-crap stuff. Q+A on the other hand, love those!
