Biggest product killer for these is the need for IT management.

Prove to retailers that your product is install-and-forget or they'll shy away from the unpredictable maintenance costs.

> range constrained if you are working with power constrained devices

Could you elaborate on that? Why does the narrow frequency drain power?

Lower frequencies offer longer range, which is nice compared to 2.4Ghz. Which means that 2.4Ghz is also going to have more attenuation, so you need a higher TX power draw to account for that. Basically, to get the same range, 2.4Ghz is going to need more power than 900Mhz would, but 2.4Ghz offers better transmission speed.

smells fishy

Entrepreneurship in the making?

CA is an "at will" state. A company does not have to give a reason for letting anyone go. It is best practice NEVER to give a reason. If you provide a reason then you better be sure it is documented in detail and there is zero discrepancy between the documented reasons and anything that anyone could ever say in a court. If there is even the smallest issue with your documentation you could end up losing in court if you are sued. While posting this response might have felt good it is clearly not a smart thing to do. Reddit would have been better to delete the AMA and then sent a letter to the poster explaining the non-disparagement agreement and how it protects both parties. I would hope that a CEO would know better.

The person posting the AMA seems to lack the experience needed in dealing this this sort of thing and could of used a bit of help understanding the realities of work life. It is very reasonable to believe that he was angry on being let go but this is a life lesson and I hope in the future he is able to handle things better.

TFA talks about a neutral zone. I assume there is a flow of equal number of (+) and (-) particles there.

If that is utilized, heat savings might prove to be true.

There is something about there being 4 electrons in the outermost shell of an element.

What is it?

Terrible design.

The high-end customers you desire will never abandon their shiny Swiss watches for this.

The low-end customers will (once again) be claimed by Samsung.

I didn't really like him, but Jobs was indeed a visionary. Apple is losing ground (alarmingly rapidly, I might add) after him. May he rest in peace.

Low end customers and Samsung?

The Gear S smart watch is stand-alone (or tether), has 3G cellular, wifi and looks far better than the Apple watch. It will probably cost about the same as the Apple watch too.
