The second half of the article (about Obama's attack on the coal industry and that all Americans will suffer from higher electricity prices) seems very biased, which makes the first half (about nuclear power plant melt down) not very credib

I can tell you from my experience that, parents of the current 2nd gen Asian-American children were mostly very poor, parents of the current 1st gen Asian-American kids (who just immigrated in recent years) are mostly wealthier than the ave

It took me a while to realise the title of this article was about Color-the-app. Seriously, the name itself raises an eyebrow.

I'm not against stealing ideas and methods from other companies, internalising them then IMPROVE upon them. That's part of innovation. But blatant copying?! Even the UI?! C'mon Kai-fu, I'm sure Innovation Work can do better than that. The w

Can someone please explain what the term "teleport" mean here? I'm not getting why this is an amazing scientific breakthrough (but I'd love to learn why it is). If it doesn't mean information travelling instantaneously or faster than light,

This is really... a publicity stunt. I mean if your teacher tells you not to do something, do you go to the schoolmaster and expect to get approval? Worth a try, but they shouldn't be surprised that Jobs was in "no interest" And as others h

Ok agree the Lehman Brother example was a bit corny, but the point I'm trying to make is that we all make mistakes, including top investors like Sequoia - in fact the business model of a VC fund is to invest in 10 equally promising startups
