Can you?

Microsoft Antitrust nightmare that probably set them back 5 years. Google for invading our privacy, they are still fighting big important battles in Europe. Facebook for similar privacy invasion, the whole beacon debacle.

There are a lot of things that they probably did wrong, but not to the extend that the press is picturing it.

Agreed 100% w/ dvt.

Amazon Chime 9 years ago

Absolutely aggreed with this. We still have to pay a 5 to 10% task to get the conference call going.

Chime is the absolute good step in the right direction, however we will need need a layer on top to solve for all conference call systems.

There are three pieces that needs to be figured out to make this work well:

1. How do you deal with (non?) presence? Are you joining from the AV hardware? 2. How do you deal with PSTN? 3. How do you deal with other VoIP solutions out there.

I have a few ideas on this, especially on #2.

A note to myself 13 years ago

Finishing things impossible. When do you know it's finished? When it's dead? It's not bad to start something and table it. The amount of time "that thing" comes back to you is probably the best filter for you get it moving. If it does not come back to you, it probably means it's not important to you, or not important to anyone else. Just use pattern recognition to spend the right amount of time on the right idea.

love the idea, but logins are not dead, you just piggy backed on device/passcode combination instead of email/password combination.

PS: I have always wondered why PINS from debit card are 4 digits, and some random consumer product will ask you for a crazy complex password with at least 8 characters.
