I mean I think that it goes back way further than US intervention; the British chopped up land arbitrarily into "countries" while totally ignoring people groups, ambiguous tribal cultures, etc. in each of these areas. That being said, I have no idea how you go about fixing that kind of problem at this point..

Jesus, your posts somehow put everything in perspective while I'm sitting in a cubicle stressed as hell. Thanks dude haha

Good call on multiple sizes- the problem with the Moto 360 is that it looks great on a man, but it [seems] like it would be too large for a woman's wrist. Only a limited portion of the population will be early adopters on this, and by only making one size, you are going to market with that audience being cut in half…

...The iPad was first released only 4 years ago, the iPhone was first released 7 years ago, they just brought on one of the biggest record label execs in the world to enhance their content-distribution structure, they hold more cash & market securities than the US government, their app store allows them to harvest…

I mean, thats not really comparing apples to apples (literally no pun intended, but that worked out pretty well). Disney world was a large investment into a property that is filled with ATTRACTIONS that people will pay good money to come and see. This, on the other hand, is an office building; people show up for one…

This is true- I would love to be the leasing agent getting a few bp's on that lease-up

Honestly, this thing looks REALLY cool, but no company lasts forever- eventually Apple will be overshadowed by another company and their time in the sun will be over. That being said, who the hell will they eventually sell this thing to? What company would buy something this huge and trendy? The eventual disposition…

I CAN'T HEEEEAAARR YOOOUUU!!

The title of this article makes it sound like you are fisting a golf pro.. Oh, its just me? I'll see myself out...

I work in commercial real estate acquisitions, and I use Google Earth probably 10-20 times a day looking at shopping malls for my company to buy. Being able to fly over the surrounding area of a mall allows us to pinpoint large-scale shopping centers that would be competing to lure retail tenants away from the mall we…

apathy. Haha same thing with Google+; it allowed users to upload higher resolution photos, see less-ish ads, and customize circles, but I heard the phrase, "well all my stuff is already on Facebook and it would be a pain to move". Thats a crazy price difference to ignore though

Why would the user not just have a customizable face that can be switched at any time? Why do they have to choose one of these?

Dude I don't even know him, but I already hate your neighbor.

This is EXACTLY what astronauts need- diarrhea in space

I see your point, and you are correct. However, "value" is a relative term. There was a need for international currency that would allow anonymous online transactions (places like silk road or other sites that are not mainstream). People who had that online need, found a solution in Bitcoin. Initially, Bitcoin was…

Literally my job is commercial real estate acquisitions and I have to underwrite about 3-4 shopping malls and anchor-based strip centers every day, and I have still never seen a real life Piggly Wiggly. It is the unicorn of big box grocery stores.

Hey I'm there with you- its Google's fault for such an awkward release. They should have developed way more apps themselves before the launch. The average person probably looked into it right when it came out and then never again. I feel that augmented reality is the next big wave, but Google executed this terribly

Neither is the American currency to be honest. It is not backed by any scarce resources like gold anymore and the amount of currency in circulation is managed by a 3rd party company. The Federal Reserve is as much a part of the federal government as FedEx.

Now will they allow me to scroll to the sides faster? Or do they do that so that it feels like it takes forever to browse through their small library? You know what- I'm going to pull out my junk painfully slow so that my girlfriend thinks it just takes a while to get it all out. Thanks, Netflix.

I sat here for way too long trying this
