Anyone serious about making music on iOS already has an external audio interface. Not to say dropping the port is well timed, but it's not a major issue for most pro iOS musicians.

The fear of clones diminishing the value of Ethereum seems odd to me, considering we have many alt coins that are derived from BTC but none have come close to supplanting BTC. Once the technology is openly available it might be easy to spool up a clone, but then marketing and gaining mindshare are needed and they are much more difficult.

On the other hand, Bitcoin had a couple years before any real clones sprung up of it. Ethereum will have clones on launch day.

Marketing and mindshare do come into play, but Ethereum is facing different dynamics.

And if i undestand this correctly, a "clone" could simply have better exclusive app deals.

Yea this is really good advise! I've struggled with weight all my life and setting an extreme goal like that is an easy trap to fall into. When you have a big goal and don't make it, you keep yourself from feeling good about the slow but positive progress. I often feel bad about this and just fall back into old habits again and end up where I started or worse. Slow and steady definitely wins the race.

If Oculus is into acquisitions, it'd be cool to see them acquire Oblong, to add some UI & interaction technology.

This article causes me to question my trust in BoingBoing and Cory Doctorow. The extruder is not the only open source component Makerbot is trying to patent, here's another one http://www.openbeamusa.com/blog/2014/5/22/stay-classy-makerb... Seems the open spirit of Makerbot has been run aground by their new corporate owner.

Found this to be interesting... "We’re proud to be a Certified B Corp." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_corporation http://www.bcorporation.net/what-are-b-corps

I've been working on something similar, Here's the list of candidates I have so far...

This was just posted but it has some useful info. http://chartio.com/blog/2013/08/informationdashboarddesign

The D3 charting library has some really unusual diagrams that seem like they would add an extra dimension to a dashboard. https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery

Kibana 3 looks like it could be useful, It also led me to the Logstash library which looks helpful. http://three.kibana.org

I've not built the system yet so I don't have much practical experience with these libraries, but they seem like my leading candidates for the display side of the project.

Our meeting rooms are named after the planets, sadly there is no correlation of planet size to room size.

I use HackerNode on iOS, It's pretty minimal (in a good way) and works well. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hackernode/id473882597?mt=8
