Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Online stock trading platform Robinhood has seen its review score on Google’s mobile app store plummet to a one-star rating out of five for the second time in less than a week, as irate users flooded the app with negative reviews in retaliation to its decision to curb the trading of several popular but volatile meme stocks like GameStop and AMC last week, highlighting how anger over the incident still persists among online traders. Key Facts At the time of publishing, Robinhood has a 1.1-star rating out of five from over 310,000 reviews on Google Play Store, after slipping down to a similar number last week. The score had shot back up to 4.3 stars after Google threw out more than 100,000 reviews in an action against what it called “coordinated or inorganic reviews,” without offering any further details. Google is unlikely to intervene this time though as it told The Verge that the new reviews … [Read more...] about Robinhood Is Down To 1 Star On Google’s Mobile App Store Again, This Time Google Won’t Intervene

5 marketing concepts that need to be reexamined
ILLUSTRATIONBY RUTH MACAPAGAL There are fundamental concepts in marketing that remain relevant despite technology and changing consumer behaviors. This is important since what we know strongly influences what we do. Marketers (and entrepreneurs) need not wait for the consequences of a wrong action to influence new knowledge. Here is a list of five concepts marketers should look into to check if they have the right understanding of the business of marketing. 1. Needs and wants of the customers have to be identified First, most customers don’t even know what they actually need or want. They may know what they dislike but when it comes to new product design, it is still the domain of a company’s technical group, usually influenced by the company’s visionaries. For example, would the idea of an electronic blood pressure monitor come from hypertensive patients? Unlikely. The most they can do during the dominance of the manual blood pressure monitor era is to cite the pain points … [Read more...] about 5 marketing concepts that need to be reexamined

Why S’well Could Have Become a $100 Million Company Only in New York
S'well is unlike most other reusable-water-bottle companies. Each season, the New York City-based company releases new limited-edition design collections. By giving its products the fashion and design treatment (while maintaining a message that promotes utility and save-the-world environmentalism), S'well has successfully hit its stride. Last year, the company earned $100 million in revenue. inlineimage Sarah Kauss moved to New York a few years after getting her MBA at Harvard University in 2003, and it was one of the best decisions in her life. Kauss was just 35 years old when she launched S'well in 2010. This year, the company ranked No. 99 on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. But unlike Silicon Valley startups, S'well had a secret weapon: Its location . A proud New Yorker. "We're based in New York City, and there seems to have been this magic that has happened to S'well because of that," Kauss says. If the company … [Read more...] about Why S’well Could Have Become a $100 Million Company Only in New York
An electrical engineer explains how semiconductors are made
1. What is a semiconductor? Generally speaking, the term semiconductor refers to a material—like silicon—that can conduct electricity much better than an insulator such as glass, but not as well as metals like copper or aluminum. But when people are talking about semiconductors today , they are usually referring to semiconductor chips. advertisement These chips are typically made from thin slices of silicon with complex components laid out on them in specific patterns. These patterns control the flow of current using electrical switches, called transistors, in much the same way you control the electrical current in your home by flipping a switch to turn on a light. The difference between your house and a semiconductor chip is that semiconductor switches are entirely electrical—no mechanical components to flip—and the chips contain tens of billions of switches in an area not much larger than the size of a fingernail. 2. What do semiconductors do? … [Read more...] about An electrical engineer explains how semiconductors are made
