Still if you could do that , wear a noise silencing headphones an be in total silence(instead of music), won't it be nicer ?

Maybe i'm optimistic ,but building a dsp that connects to a few mics and an earphone amp using low latency adc's is protected. And the other stuff is software, which in general is very hard to enforce patents on with torrents etc.

Maybe it's your personal taaste(or that you haven't tried the right earphones) , but at least according to reviews, many are quiet pleased with a good noise cancelling tech when it's working well.

Sure, you'll probably need dedicated low latency hardware. But that's probably relatively cheap, and shouldn't prevent apple ,or even a smaller company doing something in that area.

When i look at the bose QuietComfort earphones - earphones that are supposed to have(according to reviews) the unique ability to greatly block non-constant noise(for example talking) - and ability that to my knowledge nobody else has, and o

This actually is quite a generic problem - most non-fiction books have a little bit of great wisdom , and a lot of fluff. Creating a marketplace/business-model for people who write more content dense non-fiction seems like an interesti

An alternative limiting factor could be the lack of great, low cost ,measurement tools. But there are some signs we're getting there, like this[1] chip based platform that can test for 170,000 proteins on a single test, cheaply. Maybe

One view is that , as far as eCommerce , mobile is really hard(very low conversion rate) and nobody has yet cracked the formula.This could be a very big risk to amazon if someone cracks it before them. So they want to find the formula to do

It's possible for publishers/amazon to build a contract that will protect you in that case while still letting authors drop books from the service.

If it also has non-fiction books - which usually are very amenable to skimming , or to reading just interesting parts , it's a very good value for $10.

In my eyes, the ideal rotocol would be one that fits, but doesn't need any router at all. While not excatly that, lora , a long range(kilometers) low power/cost protocol, seems like the right choice. Just find the right model for

I think that shipping fees for amazon are much lower than prices offered for people at say ups. Offering half of that, wouldn't be attractive and will probably hurt the amazon brand.

The right way to implement "ship to store" is using something like "amazon locker". Assuming that's the correct route, amazon will win, because it can choose better locations than a walmart store . And in retail loc
