A 2G phone touted as "our most affordable Internet-ready entry-level phone yet". Has Microsoft's "Nokia"/Windows Phone division lost it's mind completely? I know it's a cheap phone, but then don'

The Apple watch will be too thick, too heavy, too expensive ,screen too small, battery runtime too low, real usecases questionable and won't sell well after an initial surge of sales to the Apple fanboy, tech-affine, first-mover crowd.

So really, they have no clue how much they need/or what to do with the money then. The difference between 40 and 900 Million is quite staggering.

Fair enough. What you could do is to split the 55,000 visas into 50,000 for US entities hiring foreigners. Then you could have a separate 5000 H1-Bs for foreign companies operating in the US. None of the latter would ACTUALLY be able to hir

And how do you identify a 'top-notch' programmer as a government organization dealing with visas? Seriously. I'd argue 95% of hiring managers in SV can't identify a top programmer. The problem could be solved easily if H

Nothing is wrong with that. Except that the Bay Area has become so ridiculously expensive, that at the end of the day, the only ones making real money there are the landlords. The landlords who were lucky to buy a piece of shit property 30

Then why doesn't he hire them IN country X (say India, China). Only pros. No visa issues. Salaries even lower. Excellent people...

The ones who 'sell' the best and who have the most connections and resources get ahead in today's Silicon Valley. It's as simple as that. Nothing 'meritocratic' about that. http://sethgodin.typepad.c

Well, Bill Gates seems to want to fight humanity's problems of today - AIDS, Malaria, Poverty. Elon/Larry want to go to Mars and build vacuum-tube trains from SF to LA. One is a real need, one is Science-Fiction. Obviously the lat

It's been 'next up' for how many years now? Oh right, my Apple TV 2 came out in 2010 and has seen only a minor update (1080p vs 720p) since then. Hm...

Well yea... "Also, the cost of Eurostar itself is not inconsiderable. There is a frequent traveller service that provides benefits, although not on price and there is no equivalent of a season ticket. Return tickets start at £59".

So yea, he 'designed' it basically for himself (SpaceX in LA, Tesla in the Bay). Who else would do this commute daily (because it will certainly prohibitively expensive for just daily commuting)?

A large number of Americans also believe the Earth is only a few thousand years old and insist their children are being taught their believes as 'facts' in schools.

How is this 'market place' any different from the old school calling-a-taxi company and they radio in "Hey, there is a customer on the corner of 3rd and Broadway" and then the taxi goes there to pick you up? It's in

Because it's Amtrak's only proper line. I mean what's the point of running a train between San Francisco (which is actually on the OTHER side of the Bay) to Los Angeles only once a day, taking over 12 Hours!? That's not

Why does Skype needs to be 'killed' by ex-Skype people again and how does that benefit consumers exactly?

Just playing devil's advocate here. So you suggest people waste: - a lot of their own time researching say 25 random other companies, reach out to their founders (who are in a completely different field of business etc) - fly out to S

That's just sad. 'evolve' means - they seize to assist and just become convenience stores. There is no 'evolving' here. There's no difference in pretty much shutting down the store and having the same owners op
