I noticed that recently Apple stores are managed independently. Many actions / decisions being made really depend on the store. Personally, I needed an iphone replaced and one local apple store decided NOT to even look at the iphone. A

You can use a house or lifestyle metric to determine who is richer or poorer. A house or your lifestyle is about as public as it gets.

The key point from the article: Communicate well. This is really very true in the corporate world. The better you know how to communicate, the more likely it is that you will succeed in your chosen profession.

These types of errors / issues / design choices are more common than you think. You'd be very surprised, but you can even see it on major sites.

My experience with tmobile and Att is probably reversed: tmobile found ways to add hidden or mysterious charges that others couldn't (I.e. $10 / month android charge). Most of the customer service reps in recent years got worse an

In our experience, even though amazon has a huge customer base, that doesn't translate into people deciding to pay with amazon. On our site, we only monitor Paypal sales, as those are by far the most abundant.

The beauty of the nest device is that it doesn't need a button. All you need to do is wave. A button requires you grab a chair or broom to activate... and that can be dangerous. Additionally, those test buttons work for 2 mins before i

Well, how about not thinking of reducing your dependence on conventional energy sources to zero, but to reduce it down to 20%. If it would cost you $1k to purchase and install, but it would save you $1k in 5 years, wouldn't it be worth

Whenever I get stuck on a problem, I try to clear my head. That usually involves tackling another task, getting some fresh air, or just going home. I noticed that going home early and tackling the problem early the next morning helps more t

Exactly. It feels like they are not concentrating on their profitability yet. When they do, I believe they will have a lot more income.

I feel like this is a stupid question, but: Why would people get mad at him for sending out t-shirts (i.e. tshirt-gate)?

Why not pay the workers on mturk a reasonable rate of $12 - $15 an hour? Isn't the wage set by YOU, the employer?

This is an interesting concept. The authentication should be safe to be transmitted on the same network... What about if the phone and computer are on the same (i.e. WiFi) network?

I'll argue that even in 15 years, you will not need to pay for labor to install and setup the system. Swapping out the old panels with newer, more efficient, and cheaper panels may be less than half compared to installing the entire sy

Your comparison with a sports car is very appropriate. Many cars have "race" modes which allow the computer to use the maximum power an engine has while not trying to force it into an "efficient" mode. 99% of the time yo

I hate that! I switched tabs while the 30s commercial was playing and then realized I just missed the actual video! When I tried to replay the video, I only got commercials...

After working in front of a computer for 8+ hours a day, you need to have a good work/life balance. When I get home, I stay away from computers. I even contemplated not having a PC at home.

The only way we will solve secure email is by implementing an open-sourced solution. Period. It appears like this may be a space where we can't make money from the core service.

In person, it looks so different. Most of my friends (including myself) were making fun of the gold one, but once we saw it in person, it soon became our top choice.

The problem is that it's a bit disproportionate. A 1000 sq ft apartment will not have the same amount of taxes as a 1000 sq ft home.
