Thanks.

Tom, I admire your strength on here during this terrible time. My condolences to you and to Dan's friends and family. A great loss.

Can you substantiate that comment? Are you referring to salary/bonus growth being slower in leaner years? Is there a significant difference over a 40 year work life?

Isn't their "way" simply: "brilliant" product plus price = profit? Seems sensible to me.

You have to approach it objectively, not personally. You have to have the determination and perseverance to take some flak and keep going. And you need to be open to changing your idea if you realise the criticism is justified.

I was hoping for an insight into some cool algorithm they use, instead I get a piece of puffery.

It’s not a matter of which you believe – that’s not good science. Both theories need to be tested and peer reviewed until the evidence of one outweighs the other. The overarching principle is that no theory is infallible – they can always be overthrown by new evidence.

I’m part of a team of 3 guys with an idea, at prototype stage. With a wife, 3 kids and a mortgage, the first concern if/when we all commit full-time, is continuing to keep up with all of these responsibilities. My wife’s supportive of what we want to achieve, but we’ll see what happens if/when reality bites. It’s an extra hurdle to leap, but it’s manageable.

The days of carriers locking users into 2 year contracts are numbered. It's encouraging that both Google and Apple are considering breaking this uncompetitive market up.
