hzshen··on Samsung Electronics forecasts 60% fall in quarterly profit
Some high-tech industry sectors are actually labor intensive, such as the mobile OS. I only see 3 mobile OS with real potential now: iOS, Google Android, and MIUI (actually adapted from Android). Samsung is doomed because they don't have the whole ecosystem. Their lead on only the hardware part is not sustainable forever.

Sooner is better than later, see whether they can fix it...

hzshen··on Travel planning software: The most common bad startup idea (2012)
This fits perfectly with my startup food-chain theory.

In the internet startup world, there is an invisible food chain, whatever "higher" models will eventually "eat" "lower" models.

A travel planner, with low frequency, no real pain, doesn't stand very high on the food chain.
