There were a few months when I were pretty close to homeless, but did have a place to stay. I bought a run-down trailer house for $500 and paid $125 in lot rental. I ate out of dumpsters and went to my parents house to use their internet connection to work from home because I didn’t have a car and my job was out of…

Is anyone in the least bit concerned that there is a moon out there shaped like japanese genitals?

I’ve tried a number of these “Use an Egg Cutter” including chopping mushrooms, strawberries, etc and invariably, they damage my egg slicer.

I really like my Windows 8 phone... I will be sad if they stop making them.

My parents sold me my first car at age 16. It was a 1987 For d Taurus with a blown head gasket. I paid $200. Replaced the head gasket, drove it for a season, cracked the block, replaced the engine, drove it another season, blew the engine again, and sent it to a scrap yard.

I agree very much. It’s gonna take some creative individuals to find a novel and non-obvious innovation for internet radio companies to differentiate themselves.

I have experienced pitting when using Baking Soda.

Incremental changes are definitely good, and the list you’ve provided would likely be good additions to the app.

There are a lot of triple ply pans that would be a better buy. You can buy a 12 piece cuisinart set for $250. If you’re looking for just a 12 inch skillet, then 60 bux will land you the cuisinart 12 inch model which is of quality construction.

There is a difference between innovation and creativity. I would argue that it is extremely difficult to be “innovative” with food if it does not involve a novel method of preparing a food. The molecular gastronomy craze got a bit of flack, but they did some real innovative stuff, preparing foods in ways that nobody…

Innovation isn’t when you do it successfully, innovation is when you do it first.

It was a timing problem for the capacitive touch screen. The cost finally got down to the point where they could be mass marketed. You are grasping at straws to claim that the product was innovative. Looking back, the first iPhone was a hot mess. It was only after multiple iterations did these features that you’ve…

Can you give me a brief rundown of a few of the UI improvements that Apple made that you feel were key to the iPhone’s success?

If you toss around “innovative” and “revolutionary” like that, they’ll begin to lose meaning.

What does this discussion have to do with marketing? The article had to do with the author’s (possibly unrealistic) expectations for a product and how they were not met. My comments were related to how the problem being solved by the product is an old problem and thus doesn’t have many new and exciting solutions, and…

I disagree. It seems that people have very bad mermories. The first iPhone was a mess. It didn’t even have 3g, it was slow and awkward. It could barely do anything. It wasn’t until app developers showed up, 3g modems came down in price, and displays improved that the iPhone became a product that was genuinely better…

I don’t really think it’s a matter of fair. I’m not blaming Apple. They didn’t do anything innovative or revolutionary with the mp3 player, smart phone, or tablet. Those products existed before Apple got involved in selling them. Apple packaged them with an accessible UI. Simplifying the UI wasn’t a revolutionary…

I’m an engineer. I’m not insulted. I covered that in my comments, innovation opportunity is hard to see because innovation requires NEW ideas. Obvious ideas are not innovative, because they are old ideas.

I think you are confused... One of the marketing based methods of competition IS the race to the bottom. Apple clearly isn’t doing that by charging MORE than the other guys.
