    It's an interesting article and I love how they're approaching app sales. There are some successes out there that are doing well with this sales model (the most recent download I'v…

    I like the framework you layout. It's always good to have a method for walking through problems because it conveys a cogent thought process (reminds me of SAT multiple choice probl…

    Thanks for compiling this. It helps get a bit more depth out of the article and at least strive to hear what Miles was talking about (although some of it honestly still alludes me)…

    I bounce back and forth on this line thinking that Kyle, while not aware of his social abnormalities, is helping or hurting society. By having someone look at "us" all differently …

    Hm...don't know if I was the only one, but I thought this topic was going to be about the broader consumption of 'entertainingly educational' information (think Vi Hart vs. Stumble…
