Thanks for bringing us up, Jared! One thing I'd emphasize is that our approach is to use technology to empower lawyers to offer better advice and service, not to replace them. There's a lot in immigration that can be automated, but the difference between a good and a great lawyer is meaningful in many scenarios.
When you charge people $.10 for minimal amount of data transfer you should be losing sleep because of the inevitability of your products disruption. When it actually occurs, years after it should have, you will get no sympathy from me.

Great article. What really strikes me about this is that we just saw Google's new glass video - a device in which search is primarily implied. Google knows search is dumb and wants to fix it, primarily through external devices (android) that are context aware and have access to incredible amounts of personally relative data. They can't kill their money cow, not directly, and haven't shown us how they'll monetize products without relying on ads, so they'll have to leave search alone, at least for now.
I've been using betterment for (non 401k) index fund exposure. They'll help guide your investment strategy, rebalance between funds automatically and allow you to shift between stocks and bonds (both indexes) as you please.
The question with AAPL is really do you think smartphones and tablets, as product segments unto themselves, have reached market saturation? I think we'll still see massive increases in the sheer number of smartphones and tablets sold, and I think AAPL will manage to retain a significant (not necessarily a majority) market share.
It's possible, but I'd avoid it. I bootstrapped a startup while employed at a large (~500 person) company and let the company go in the wrong direction too long because of it. Later I joined a startup where the CEO was still employed at a company he'd founded previously. I don't think either company failed solely because of the other commitments, but we will never know what opportunities were missed because of them.
When I worked at Google I was blown away by their attention to readability. It makes sense when they preach that any employee (having passed readability for a given language) can commit code to any project. What surprised me most? Extra spaces. After parens, brackets -- anywhere midline you can. This makes it easier to read any line of code and scan the whole document. Of course, they compile and minimize everything before it runs in production.
I woke up today to friends posting on facebook about getting out of Apple stock "at the top" because of these SJ UI rejection posts. Even if the ui is a mistake (and I'm not sure it is, I haven't played with it yet), Apple has made other missteps in the past 5 years without meaningfully impacting the growth in their share price.
Another common symptom of this behavior is expanding to multiple customers. As soon as the product/feature you're looking at developing doesn't serve the customer you're currently serving you're losing focus. It's great if you can identify a more profitable customer, but often I see teams chasing many different customers and not executing on serving any one of them especially well. s/customers/jobs a la Christensen and the same holds true.
Another great idea, which I believe I read about Netflix implementing some time ago, is to always make it a policy to offer everyone the most you can possibly offer them (in terms of complete compensation package) so that when they tell you they have something better you don't get caught up trying to offer them better hours, pay or benefits to get them to stay.
