At least re: online pharmacy, that's patently false. Coming from someone who currently runs a legitimate online pharmacy, there is a 9-12 month accreditation process (VIPPS) that adwords, etc requires before letting you advertise.

The problem here is that you view these as two different things, not that the story keeps changing. Great design begins by spending time with your customers and truly understand their wants / needs. It's not about pretty pictures.

Yup - the packaging component has proliferated in a handful of countries, the US (obviously) not being one of them. In fact we imported a piece of quality control machinery from the Netherlands where this packaging is much more commonplace.

PillPack, Inc - Somerville, MA - http://pillpack.com
PillPack is simplifying the process of managing medications for the 30M+ Americans that take 5 or more prescriptions a day. We have a full service pharmacy in NH (with robots) and a beautiful office in Davis Square (no robots, yet).
We are currently a small team (~10), and looking to grow both engineering (frontend, full stack, ios) and marketing. We are backed by top tier VC's and are one of the few consumer startups in the area that take design seriously (we've been living in IDEO for the last 4 months and just moved into our own office last week).

Well, the most successful people in any profession are "the people who solve problems". That isn't something inherently unique to programmers.

I concur. This is one of my absolute favorite blogs.

This. I still have all the buttons a non-idrive 3 series has has, and typically turn off the screen when I don't need the additional features. But it is really nice to have navigation, bmw assist, and all the additional features that come along with iDrive when I want them. I have a hard time understanding the downside.

I can't fathom how someone could have a difficult time understanding how to use iDrive. I've found it simple to use since day one.

This is very good news for those of us that are actually looking to start a legitimate online pharmacy.
