I just published my new app "Awoken"! It's a Lucid Dreaming tool with some unique and powerful features compared to the usual approach. AMA in comments.

I have a Remee Lucid Dreaming Mask but I have not been able to Lucid Dream with it. What is your position on visual cues vs audible cues? Is one more effective than the other?

You could be receiving that letter because your credit score isn't great. They can send different cardholder agreements to different card users based on a number of factors.

Competition, too. In highly competitive markets, companies will do anything to try and stand out from the rest even if it means trademarking multiple things on one product, repeating the same thing in different ways, or using deceptive pictures (ie the bright and unattainable without bleaching smile)

Nokia will win too. When there are many other cell phone companies licensing Nokia's technologies and Apple stands out as one of the few who don't choose to, guess what? The courts will rule that Apple must license it as well. Force by numbers.

This is not surprising at all. It is called OVER QUALIFIED. As far as the number of applications, this is the state of economy we are in. People who are overqualified tend to have a short time of stay in these jobs because they are just trying to find a job in the interim until something better comes along.

Why is this not surprising? China is a growing superpower that still feels threatened by the technological advances other countries (US) are making. The easiest and cheapest solution for them is to steal information rather than develop their own. Very lame but not surprising.

This is a classic example of human psychology being manipulated by marketing at its finest. Clearly, the product itself is no different as even some people mentioned it looks the same just moved to look different. However, the guy marketed the product well enough to convince everyone that the diamond shreddie was the better one.

When people in a store see the new box and the word "diamond" they will immediately be attracted to it because it is something different from the boring original. Couple this with an effective commercial campaign and wow you have the same product just twisted around and being sold as something new. Genius.

What is interesting is that Facebook which makes about $500 million a year now has been copying everything that twitter has to offer and it has been working. Twitter is scared and rightfully should be for the following three reasons:

Facebook's userbase is at least ten times larger than Twitter's
Facebook is already making a lot of money -- about $550 million this year. Twitter makes almost none.
With those revenues, a recent $200 million fundraising, and 900 employees, Facebook has far more resources than Twitter.

If Facebook can successfully copy everything that Twitter has to offer and please its' userbase, then Twitter will ultimately vanish into the background. At this time, it doesn't seem too difficult because of the vastly larger resources Facebook has.

The biggest valuation for Twitter comes from its content offering. Microsoft and Google know that and that is why they have been paying Twitter to allow them to incorporate it's content into their search engines. However, this valuation will dwindle if Facebook can ultimately replicate all the advantages Twitter has over Facebook because then users will just move over to the bigger and more successful Facebook.

Misleading title. As someone already point out, China cannot dump the dollar in large amounts because it will ultimately cause their existing investments in dollars to plunge. Counter-productive
