After WSJ debacle, can theranos really recover? This just sounds so bad after its $9 billion valuation looking like all smoke!

I have been hearing a lot of complaints, issues all around the news and people I meet or talk to about decline in Customer service, brand equity, confidence, brand affinity etc. Are people losing confidence in Apple and with coming devices like watch, car, VR etc from Apple, do you think the decline is going to accelerate?

I used to love apple and its philosophy and products. it is no longer the same company. Its strategies are no different than IBM or Sony for that matter. They have amazing talent which is why they produce beautiful products, but why is then people all around the world are showing pessimism in their direction. has its peak done and gone

Has Apple lost its way?

Dark times ahead or just a minor correction?

Smartphones have revolunized the way we communicate. Wonder what will our kids use. Sure I am not saying wearables or IoT but smartphones in the next 5-7 years. is it possible to reimagine a Smartphone from scratch? Reason I am asking is, I am currently creating ideas to rethink how future smartphones should look like..

With the slew of smart watches (that exactly look similar to each other) like FOSSIL, MOTO360, SAMSUNG GEAR, and APPLE Watch, why do you guys think I should stop wearing my traditional watch collection and start wearing a smartwatch? Am I alone who is thinking this way or everyone has accepted the smartwatch revolution? if not, why not, if yes why yes?

We are working on VR app that we think will change the way people interact via immersive communication on-the-go. We want to genuinely build a audience that cares about the problem of immersive communication. We think our target audience is between age 15-30 yrs as they care about better communication. Since we are not competing with HMD or Magic Leap etc we don't really think HMD market should be our target market. We want to cater to people who want to have better communication capabilities. Since this is consumer, it is slightly harder to nail and segment down the target market. Any ideas on how to build a audience or gather people around the problem we are trying to solve. We are writing Blogs/content marketing, doing social media, talking to friends but we haven't yet found traction in people who would benefit the most.

I am running my "yet to be launched" startup and found out this great news about becoming Dad next year. Can not be more excited than that. I want to make sure I can do the best for the baby and also focus on the startup(which is also my baby) Any one has similar experience or any advice they can give for To-be-Dad?
