You can already get a patent on processes that turn an abstract idea into a practical application. That leaves open the door for other applications of the abstract idea to still be used.
Its not working because the cost of having those people in debt, which is only worth 400,000, on the open market is probably much much higher.
Every time a startup I like fails I find myself less and less likely to use another one. Everpix was really really easy and I would have been happy to pay double what I was for it, its a real shame to see it shut down.
Or people have more than one email and some of them are worth less to them than others.
The DMCA doesn't care WHY you want to have your work removed from the internet all it cares about is that she owns the copyright in the work.
I think the point is she shouldn't have to try EVERYTHING. If she's healthy, meaning her medical tests come back fine, and she's getting exercise the amount of work she might have to do to LOOK thin might not be worth…
New York apartments can have very little storage space when I was looking for a studio some had one small closet and no bathroom storage at all. People I know use them for out of season sports stuff and clothes,…
I don't think this is a new concept. I used "The Box Butler" when I moved to NY about 4 years ago. They would pick up and drop off and even supply boxes to store the stuff in. It wasn't the cheapest thing ever but it…
Its sexist and you're a grownup, presumably, who can control his reactions.
I would take a dumb phone that didn't call anyone but only texted if it had the advantages of my last dumb phone: week long batter life, drop-ability, and the ability for me to leave it in cabs and have it returned…
I suspect there is an economy of scale in that if the same piece of junk mail is delivered to 100 house it only really needs to be scanned once unless it has some kind of unique code as it wouldn't matter whose piece of…
I think the market will be more the ineffective but paranoid types. Anyone who wants to be truly anonymous will work hard to reduce, not increase, the amount of interaction other people have with their plan. The old…
Couldn't you just buy a cheap printer with cash, use it, and then dump it as well, perhaps leave it in a charity bin somewhere. Printers are pretty cheap these days, and it seems that in order for any of the markings to…
I would imagine that if 50 people got the same junk mail flyer they have a system that only scans the flyer once as there would be no need to have a scan of the specific piece of junk you received. Otherwise yes it…
How is the drone going to open the door of my apartment building and bring the pizza upstairs (the most important part of the delivery)?
The swearing is capable of being both non-funny or interesting and not offensive and or detrimental to the point of the article at the same time. Of course the point of the article is probably more interesting so I…
That Tumblr would be so much better without the useless and unfunny commentary.
I agree that it depersonalizes something that's suposed to signal time and effort on the part of the writer but I've used the Apple Cards app that lets you make your own photos into a card and its been a big hit. I…
The patent holder would have to sue someone first or there would be no standing to bring a case.
That wouldn't be a valid contract for several reasons. What's the consideration, acceptance?
What happens if you don't install the app but it comes pre-installed on your shiny new phone and you're not tech savvy enough to take it off?
Even if their perfect its not really good enough outside of say standardized testing because they can't integrate what they learn about the individual students from grading their papers and then use it…
The cynic in me wonders if companies choose opt-out models because they think that a subset of their customers are not going to be bothered opting out. A while back there was a lawsuit over one of the Canadian cable…
They could leave their accounts dormant until the users next signed in then ask them to either accept the charges or deactivate their account. That would be a lot more ethical than just going ahead and charging them and…
The trouble is that if she had shamed someone over a different kind of joke the backlash she would have gotten would probably been much less and of a radically different type. Women feel threatened because there is this…
