  • Tesla CEO Elon Musk was paid $2.3 billion in compensation in 2018.
  • In 2018, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, earned roughly $1.7 million per hour.
  • The cheapest way to increase the value of your home (for sale) is to get rid of the clutter.
  • Bell Canada wants streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Video and the newly minted Disney streaming service to pay 20% of their revenue to Canadian content production, but conveniently rigged the revenue requirement numbers so that its own CraveTV streaming service would be exempt.
  • The folks at Intel who decided in 1994 that a new standard port for peripherals was needed had a lot of convincing to do. It eventually led to USB.
  • The iMac was the first computer to come out with only USB as standard.
