There are bad ideas, then there is docking dirigibles at the Empire State Building!

Can you imagine walking down a gang-plank 1,200 feet above the streets of Manhattan in a wind?

Despite plans for a mooring station, only one airship ever docked at the Empire State Building.

Nelson Ireson takes an even more in-depth look at the fallacy of +Tesla Motors new Model S cost claims

Nelson factors in other elements such as the mandatory $600 per year service plan to come up with a much more realistic cost.

Chesterton's Definition of Progressives and Conservatives

"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."

– from Illustrated London News, 1924-04-19, per Wikipedia

Really +Tesla Motors? The FTC really needs to go after this claim 1

Really +Tesla Motors? The FTC really needs to go after this claim

The Tesla Model S is a fine car and it has much to recommend it. However, +Elon Musk should not be resorting to these kinds of shenanigans to sell cars. To claim that the time you spend filling your car with gas is worth $100/month is a bad joke. What about the time you have to spend looking for a charge station if you're getting low on electrons. 

Then there is the $227 you subtract if you are using the car for business. If you are using any other car for business, you could make the same claim so this one is a wash and if it's just a personal car, you can forget it anyway. 

You're going to pay $1,100/month to finance a  Model S and that's that. 

New Tesla sales plan offers the Model S for $500 a month, but only after some extremely creative math
Tesla has seen strong sales of its Model S electric car, but Elon Musk is now hoping to bring in more buyers — and to do so, he’s rolling out a new sales plan that promises to give potential…

Android users missing out because lazy developers working to lowest common denominator of iOS

Users of +Android apps often miss out on some of the coolest capabilities of the system because developers are coding apps to work like the more limited iOS.

This is no doubt part of the reason why iOS hasn't advanced as much over its history as Android. Instead of treating iOS as the golden standard, developers should be using all the capabilities of the system they are working on and thus putting pressure on other platforms to improve. Don't just make the apps the same on all platforms. 

The Negative Impact Of iOS On Android | A Dash of Mobile Development
I’m a big proponent of competition among corporations because I believe the consumer ultimately benefits. That means that, although I’m a major fan of Android, I want to see iOS really innovate and I …
