We're building a social video chat for workplaces. It's got games, music, and a playful UI.
The idea is to stand in for the breakroom and the happy hour.
(We're all ex-Kongregate - I was CEO).

That isn't it. Starbucks didn't open its sixth store until 1984.

Without DST, I either bike my kids to school in darkness at 8am, or the sun rises before 5am in summer. This is in San Francisco.

I'd like to see a compromise on this. If there's a passenger, they should be able to use a touchscreen. For someone not used to the car, a scroll wheel is going to feel very weird. And obviously safety isn't much of an issue if the passenger is controlling it.
Cars already know whether a passenger is present of course.
