I would recommend to groupon instead of forcing businesses to give deals. Set up a system that has the users bid to spend a certain amount for a good or service. Once you have enough people agreeing to it, there's no way a business would turn it down. You could cut the work force in half and let the users have control of where they get deals. That's my 2 cents.
Global Domains International – for having a true success story
If you have heard about business opportunity in online network marketing from the company Global Domains International it is most likely that you will take it as another scam or trap for receiving quick bucks but wait a minute you are mistaken.
Those statistics aren't actually that encouraging, though they aren't bad per se. If 60% move a quintile over 17 years, that means 40% stay put long-term. And that isn't even a measurement of large income mobility, like jumping more than one quintile. Iirc from data elsewhere, the most common quintile moves by far are churn between the 2nd/3rd/4th quintiles, with 2-or-more-quintile jumps and movement in or out of the top and bottom quintiles being less common than 2nd<->3rd or 3rd<->4th drifting.
Actually a few people were experimenting with the idea before the Google guys did it. They just did it better. In the plex talks about that in the first couple chapters.
I've done my fair share of travel and bed bugs are the one scourge that makes me cringe - even good hotels have them in some places (I'm looking at you Venice, Italy!)

If they travel back to your house with you it'll probably be almost impossible to get rid of them.

Tips when you travel: always keep your suitcase and other luggage up, off the floor on a dresser or one of those fold-out luggage holders you see in most hotels. Always check the bed mattress for small black spots or bugs. Feel free to change rooms or leave the hotel. Demand a refund if you find bugs. They usually give you one rather than risk loosing other business.

I thought that the regulation in the USA meant that anything the ultralight category can not be flown over populated areas[1].

regardless, the USA may be very liberal in terms of regulations for ultralight aircraft, but other nations are definitely not. In most other places there are certification and licensing requirements for anything above an unpowered hanglider. In Australia and Europe you need a pilots license for an ultralight craft.

If this does make it to production, and does manage to take advantage of ultralight regulations, I can see the laws being changed to require certification and licensing (or outright bans) in the same way many cities, states etc. responded to the Segway and low-powered bicycles.

There is just no way that they are going to allow people in suburban areas to take off in one of these without a license and without certification - and very likely not at all

Great example of how a lot of books/advice about marketing work, in one sentence, thank you! The author observes his/her behavior (first thing I noticed is shoes), thinks all people do the same (most people notice shoes), cites one or two examples as a proof, and says that marketing people know this. Works best with the surprise factor (shoes is such a tiny detail compared to jetback).

"The ruling class did not own anything except the shirts off their backs."

If they didn't own anything then why do their ancestors still own great chunks of places like the UK - where many members of the upper classes can trace their ancestries, and the lands they own, back to the Norman conquest?

Life as a royal in medieval times was pretty tough, but largely because they were still expected to fight to maintain their position, compared to the lifestyles of most people in the countries they ruled they were well fed, well clothed and had much better accommodation than most.

This may sound trite, but it's easy if you stay single. When I graduated college (in the middle of the dot com bust), I made $30k at my first programming job. I lived in a cheap ($525/mo) apartment in Houston and drove a used car which was paid off. Not only was I able to live comfortably (see a movie, buy a cd or eat out whenever I felt like it), I was also able to pay off my student loans at an accelerated rate of $500/mo. Subtracting just the student loan payments would have put me at an equivalent salary of $24k.

That being said, I can't imagine raising kids on that wage.

All mocking aside, I've had this idea before. We've "car camped" around the U.S. when we were young and broke. I love the idea of having more choices and possibly cheaper campsites. But there's no way that this makes any financial sense for the property owner, especially here in the U.S. Liability concerns, bathroom issues, housing codes / deed restrictions / local laws, etc. all come up and it's hard to justify more than $20 / night. The only way it makes sense is as semi-charity or maybe for special events.

To counterbalance this, I'll point out I've heard some pretty clueless things come out of the mouths of Apple Store employees too - e.g. "plugging in your macbook air into a macbook pro PSU will damage the battery" and other silly stuff.
Can you even do a clean install on most Windows laptops that are purchased, unless you also purchase Windows separately? Pretty much all Windows laptops I've seen since around 2003 don't come with stock Windows, but come with a 'recovery disk' which reimages the disk back to factory default - meaning, with the original crapware.

Do you have evidence that Apple's products appeal to the majority of the human population? And don't do the TC thing and extrapolate from a SV coffee shop/your office. A sentiment poll would do.

The Apple way is to design amazing product, I do own an iphone and an ipad and I really like them. Apple does an incredible job at designing products.

But the Apple way is also to not be at conferences or shows but their own, to forbid developers to talk about the OS and to sue others companies using their patents. I really dislike Apple, if there was some other company that could do as amazing phones and tablets as they do, I would jump in their boat as quickly as possible. As a customer, I have absolutly no loyalty to Apple. Apple is like the crazy captain that is the only one that can pass the "Cap Horn". He is amazing at what he do but if he need to jettison you at anytime, he'll do it. You can't be safe near him.

I wished some PC maker should make a line of designed PC and deliver them with a raw Windows, without any crapware installed. Actually I thought about it so much that I considered doing just that. I talked about it with a friend who is an Apple fan. His opinion was that it couldn't work because PC buyier didn't care, he said they wanted blinking leds and things just like that and that they actually like crapware. I might reconsider my idea seeing comments there.

"I'm a geek and I couldn't care less what WiFi chipset is in my laptop."

Isn't this at the very heart of every "linux on laptop" screed out there - research your hardware before you buy! So... being able to know or choose what wifi chipset you get might appeal to many geeks. But... you have to assume what you order is what you actually get.

I got a laptop in 2003 for linux. I researched. And researched. I found the one laptop for sale at a local store had the graphics chip FOOXPJ59 in it, which worked with RH6 (or Mandrake, whatever I wanted to use). Plunk down my $1200. Get it home. No dice. Oh... they replaced it with a newer/better FOOXPJ59revC chipset, and there was a WinXP driver disk in the box. But the outside of the box indicated FOOXPJ59 as the chipset. I had to argue for about 20 minutes with 2 managers to get my money back on that after it was opened. They wanted to charge me 15% restocking fee, I was arguing it didn't contain what the box said it did - in their mind FOOXPJ59 and FOOXPJ59revC are the same thing.
The Marshall Plan was intended to counter Soviet influence in Europe so while it was a sensible policy to say that it was "selfless" is perhaps a bit inaccurate.

Since the acquisition, the Lisburn (Northern Ireland)-registered company has moved key operations to Ipswich in an effort to enhance its service offering to both its UK/Eire as well as continental European customers. The move also allows PIX Hydraulics Europe Limited to optimise resources and achieve greater efficiencies, by co-locating itself with its parent company, which is a key player in the mechanical Power Transmissions industry.

You know... You may have a point. Some people may have been spoiled by operating systems like Linux or BSD, where you can look up each and every line of code that comprises the whole software stack, but, in fact, most people don't really care about that. Still, OSX is more open than its main competitor - you can see most of it, but not all.

The fact most people don't really care about what they are using is sad, but it's a fact of life.
