It is considered impolite at best to ask life sciences companies about their cost structure and pricing strategies. Life sciences executives can often appear naive, incognizant and uncaring about the basic economics of their industry. They appear to exclusively and superficially target profit maximization and wholly propriety IP development and protection; ironic given the greater goals of healthcare. Life sciences as an industry seems to be at least twenty years behind the high tech industries ...

The actual construction of our addition went pretty smoothly. We had the usual red tape to get through with permits from the city, but after all that was done we only hit a few kinks. I acted as General Contractor in order to save us some money. It was something that I had never done before but in the end it boiled down to two basic skills, nagging people, and basic problem solving. Luckily with ...

Der Ruf des Online-Journalismus ist ein Desaster. Bei gestandenen Print-Journalisten hat er kein Renommee: Online-Journalismus liegt angeblich allein in den Händen von schlecht bezahlten und unerfahrenen Jungjournalisten, die hauptsächlich Agenturmaterial verwursten, wenig an ihren Texten hängen und kaum recherchieren. mehr...

Let's see: 1) Martin Philbert is Chair of the committee looking at the safety of Bisphenol A (BPA.) 2) Philbert is founder and co-director of the University of Michigan Risk Science Center. 3) Philbert's Center receives $5 million (50 times its annual budget) donation from Charles Gelman, who thinks that health risks posed by BPA are exaggerated by "mothers' groups and others who don't know the science." According to Sourcewatch, Gelman also supports our favorite ...

Over at Slate, Juliet Lapidos asks, how much is $700 billion? Let’s say Slate charged its advertisers $30 per 1,000 ad impressions, a common industry rate. And let’s imagine for a second that the federal government decided to nationalize Slate in order to pay for the bailout. We’d need our readers to rack up enough page views to see 23.3 trillion banner ads before the feds were satisfied. For historical perspective, consider that the Marshall ...

I still find many do not realize how @ replies work and as a result their tweets are not received by their intended audience. The problem arises when a twitter user tweets about what another twitterer is doing, e.g., “@ted is ...

Disney has announced several additions to its Disney.com property, including a new portal for virtual worlds (as well as its other games) and mobile widgets. Both are significant because they point towards interesting strategic decisions which Disney will have to take. Disney's business is based on creating brands that kids love, and its virtual worlds activities are part of that. The consequence of that is that it has ended up with a collection of very ...Shared by joi (0)Contribute comment
