I was on a flight recently and the lady next to me had a large Samsung phone on which she was constantly playing games, etc. and I was very worried. I was also afraid of questioning if it was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 because the attendant m

Microsoft should just forego consumer apps and devices. Almost all of their late to the market ideas are light weight, copycat, throw money efforts with no originality or differentiation.

I agree. Transportation companies just don't tend to be profitable. Airlines are super competitive and minimally profitable. The airlines folks have a saying- they can only be as profitable as their dumbest competitor- and these are pe

I got burned with my 1st house- buying in 06, and did just OK with buying again in 10 and selling in 13, but 'lost' (did not make another) 50% by not holding it long enough.

I wish they would create a simple and fast basic photo editor for the PC first. Their current Photo takes 5-7 secs to open a photo.

This is scary as I moved to all cash a couple of years ago. I still don't understand how there can be a bubble in money. All I see around me is house and stock prices going up incredibly. Does a money bubble popping result in high infl

Making the phone thin is a wasted goal. Everyone I know has a thick iphone cover.

I don't understand why biking on sidewalks is illegal. Its much safer. I can understand why not in NYC, but in most US cities?

While all previous evidence goes towards pointing this to be another way for AMZN to squeeze more out of their employees, I think we could give them the benefit of doubt. I think they may have seen a segment of talented developers saying I

This is great for the US and many foreign entrepreneurs, but would suck for other country's startup efforts. Its like the Golden State Warriors getting Kevin Durant.

I think this is posturing and a final warning to interested buyers "Buy us now, or we're going public"

That is why a startup is needed. Airbnb and Uber showed how to get past regulations.

The weather man. You get to 'live' almost twice as many hours because of the weather. Add top companies, upcoming companies, jobs, schools, colleges, city stuff, nature stuff, Sports and you just can't beat it. After all you

I'm surprised that none of the YCs startups have tried to solve this problem. People really want 'affordable housing' and YC's motto to its startups is to 'make something people want'- so what gives?

Companies won't give you the 20% pay bump if you approached them yourself. Its a good deal for the company because they outsource the risk of hiring a recruiter fulltime and not finding a candidate. Some recruiting agencies make a lot

If they are smart they would raise prices now (for anticipated lower volumes) while they have a small time window in which Amazon needs them while it scales. If they don't they will be toast.

The Chinese public values hardware and tangible stuff. Plus its made in China, so the Chinese Govt lets them live. Apple, VW, GM, Caterpillar, Fashion. The Chinese public don't much value IP, software or services and so the Chinese Gov

Salaries seem lower today than the value add because some companies are being valued very highly. $20B for Whatsapp. $26B for LinkedIn. If you were risk taking and joined a no name startup early enough for a less than market salary- and it
