A Mobile Smartphone

How about a phone that's capable of movement? And a camera so good, it can read and play CD's and DVD's - not immediately of course, but, give it 5 minutes and you're good to go..

Gives a new meaning to "mobile" doesn't it?

Cadence and Triad Semi Vie to be the Topcoder of Hardware

I think it's a worthwhile idea - any circuit design can testify that, in a job at a large corporation, there's too much he needs to do that he'd rather leave to someone else. At the same time, the type of work he does enjoy is little and infrequent.

Enter the topcoder of circuit-design - and architecture.

Maybe some University Professor needs to latch onto this before a large corporation does.

Inspired by Hillsborough - Your Iron Jacket

The Problem

The Hillsborough disaster of 1989 resulted in about 100 deaths from compressive asphixia - the victims couldn't breathe because of overcrowding. Think about it, your chest has no room to expand (not your stomach either). What can you do?
The Solution

What if you had a jacket with a rigid frame - so strong that it could resist large compressive force and guarantee its wearer sufficient breathing space?

Simple One for the Numbskulls @ Yahoo Finance

You've got a link to "Profile".

There, you list the managers.

Why not make their names links to the bio on the company site?

Tip : Google has this already. Really Marissa, if there's anything you learnt at the plex!

Airbnb Plugs the Hole

So you've read of Airbnb landlords getting some stick from the big cities. If you want to have a tenant for less than a month, you need a hotel license. Most communities say the minimum lease term is a month. Nice - so why not just set the price low and claim the guy is renting for a month and then kick him out after a couple of days (the real stay) for "bad" behaviour?

What's new? Airbnb will buy a limited number of hotel licenses and "sell" them to you when you need to let a guest stay for less then a month. So simple and worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
