How Evernote Almost Died

Evernote death

If you’re an Evernote fan, then Inc.com has a must-read article for you that takes a behind-the-curtain look at the company. Did you know that the company’s CEO was hours away from pulling the plug on Evernote and laying off everyone in the entire companya few years ago, but for a well-timed email from a fan offering a much-needed infusion of cash?

Yikes! Your Laptop WiFi May Be Harming Your Sperm

Wifi kills sperm

Bobby recently reviewed a laptop stand that claims to protect against the effects of WiFi, but we were skeptical since there was no way to prove or disapprove those claims. We’re still skeptical, and I have no plans to buy the stand, but chalk a recent MSNBC article (published 3 days after Bobby’s review) up to strange coincidence.

But before you panic, read on for some of the details.
