This incidentally made me realize that TiVo was the gateway to Netflix's streaming model. Record episodes and binge.

I was actually thinking more of “two legs bad, four legs good!”

How do you determine which ones are good to eat? Geiger counter?

This culture sounds awesome. Prescient and rare nowadays.

Agreed, it's a risk factor women won't willingly accept if it was the case with their pills.

Also, ballgame, I see what you did there.

Restaurant Depot, we all go there. At least those of us in proximity of one.

Been trying to do this on a smaller scale (pooling the needs of restaurants in foodparks), and it is horribly difficult. There are so many factors at play (demand changes day to day, spoilage, etc.) Even with software to automate the process, the delivery logistics would be too time consuming for your average restaurant owner to get into.

As a former real estate appraiser, I am very Interested in your methodology and approach in valuing homes. Lenders require appraisals, do you find that the value you place on each listing come close to the appraised value?

I wish I had saved the article but I remember reading somewhere (and just paraphrasing here) that the team that works on the iPhone make it good enough so you'll use your iPad (tablet) less, then the iPad team makes it so good you'll use your MacBook less, and so on. I think it's great forward thinking to be always trying to put one of your largest product lines out of business as a way to constantly innovate. In so doing, you hopefully have less chances of having to lay off tens of thousands of people because you tried hard to stay ahead of the curve.

The comment by flightcar employee was incredibly disturbing.

Glad to see you alive, battling, and bucketlisting, Amit. As a huge fan of Photojojo (considered applying a few times even), I am happy see that it will be in capable hands that you trust.

Make every second count and leave that shutter wide open. :)

Do you have an email? I'm in the industry.

I feel like any type of online review site must be moderated. I've seen firsthand the damage it can cause a legitimate enterprise. On the flip side, I've also seen the difference a 3 star to a 5 rating on Yelp can do, and it's not insignificant.
