Mark Long has a career you can't categorize -- from U.S. Army to the NY Times bestsellers list, video game creation to laboratory R&D; -- he is a man who brings a brilliant imagination to science.
Call me a reductionist, but I believe the consumer is most wanting a desktop experience and a tablet experience, independent of the other.
From a hardware perspective, Google's new Nexus 10 tablet compares favorably to the new full-sized Apple iPad with Retina display. The Nexus 10 is thinner and lighter, has a higher resolution screen and is $100 cheaper. Of course, hardware doesn't tell the whole story.
Let us all applaud Democracy In Action. You complained. Amazon listened to you. And now you've lost thousands of honest reviews.
Founding companies is second only to, perhaps, sky diving when it comes to terror, which is why Michelle You, co-founder of Songkick, offers advice to those starting up that's also remarkably applicable to those jumping out of airplanes -- close your eyes and leap.
