Timing is very important. If the first to market always won, we would all be using Apple Newton 17s.

But marketing is critically important too.

In 1900, most people fundamentally didn't understand what a car was or was capable of- having never seen on.

In 2001, it was the same deal with tablets. Although there were some earlier pseudo-tablets from Palm and Apple.

Market research works very well for improving established existing products. People can answer "what do you like and not like about the product you currently use".

I rate this troll as Adequate.

Arrested on what charges?

Snowden is a hero, and now he is working to support Russia's effort to protect its people in Ukraine!

You think that a commercial scale Thorium reactor could be developed and built for $4B? You're about an order of magnitude off.

I'm not sure why I'm bothering to correct someone who thinks that Obama created the TSA.

I was not a fan of Steve Jobs at all.

There are plenty of dumb millionaires. Please name one dumb self-made billionaire.

When did those women first get interested in computers and coding? I'll bet 8th grade at the latest.

Go find a 50 year old waitress and turn her into a professional programmer. Then you'll have a point.

He was the head of Data Systems Development at Solomon Brothers. When that company got bought out, he started a company selling Bloomberg Terminals, which were extremely innovative. He parlayed that into the Bloomberg News service. He grew up middle class with no family connections or a leg up, and now has $33B. That doesn't happen to dumb people.

If you like Stephen Colbert, go watch Strangers With Candy. It was one of the first Comedy Central shows and it's just amazing.

His bank account will see a significant step up.
