ICO predictions for 2018: Big changes for utility tokens April 21, 2018
2017 was quite a banner year for the ICO marketplace with over $6.4 billion in crypto invested in hundreds of ICOs.

Clearly 2017 was performative, however, the year was not without some serious flaws in t […]
Apple’s recycling robot disassembles 200 iPhones an hour April 21, 2018
About a year ago, Apple made the bold proclamation that it was zeroing in on a future where iPhones and MacBooks were created wholly of recycled materials. It was, and still is, an ambitious thought. In a technologically-charged world, many forget that nearly 100 percent of e-waste is recyclable. Apple didn’t. Named “Daisy,” Apple’s new robot builds on its p […]
Deleting your Facebook account won’t keep it from tracking you April 20, 2018
The #DeleteFacebook movement has been riding high ever since the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal got rolling, with high-profile figures like Elon Musk publicly declaring their intention to purge their good names from Facebook’s ledgers (only not really doing it, in Musk’s case). But, by Facebook’s own admission, it still has ways of tracking ex-users an […]

How to add Bluetooth to your wired headphones April 20, 2018
My current phone does not have a headphone jack. My favorite headphones need one. After being fed up with losing and forgetting dongles, I thought there must be a better way.

Nintendo Labo: How much replacement parts will cost you April 20, 2018
When Nintendo first announced Labo – a series of minigames based on DIY cardboard accessories – gamers reacted with a mixture of confusion and excitement. But even though the accessories (called Toy-Cons) felt surprisingly sturdy in our hands-on, cardboard just isn’t a material designed for durability. Considering the two existing Labo kits cost $70 and $80 […]

Fatigue and Complacency: The Bane of Inspiration and Innovation April 17, 2018

Innovation – More Powerful Than Marketing? April 15, 2018
What always surprises us when working with big companies is that innovation is usually primarily seen as a growth tool. It is less commonly talked about as a brand-building tool.

Comment on Why Being Self-Centered is Good by Stephen Shapiro
Thank you for sharing that. I am not sure why someone would call you self-centered if you are doing all of that for your girlfriend. Having said that, I think centering on oneself is important.
