Thoroughout the past two years I've been a keen Strava user and have been watching the company grow at a tremendous rate. I've always been interested about their backstory, their business model, and their way forward. Last week I spoke with Strava's co-founder and CEO, Michael Horvath, to find out the answers to all these questions and more.

How did you come up with the idea of Strava? You have to go all the way back to my college days when I was rowing on the crew team. This was in the back of our minds for a long time. We did other stuff in-between that time and shelved the idea of Strava for the better part of ten years. We tabled that idea and saw lots of other potential opportunities and created a company called Kana Software and it was enterprise software that shifted CRM support from phone to online.

A “Conservative” Estimate: Apple Will Sell 48 Million iPads in Calendar 2012 - John Paczkowski.

Whether it debuts in February or in March, Apple’s hotly anticipated iPad 3 will likely raise the bar for its rivals, and perhaps further buttress a postulate we’ve discussed here before: Consumers don’t want tablets, they want iPads. The only question is one of degree. Recent reports have added 4G LTE connectivity and a quad-core processor to a rumored spec list that already includes Siri voice recognition, better cameras, a higher-capacity battery and a much-improved display with double the pixel density of the iPad 2. All of which sounds entirely reasonable, and certainly like the makings of a formidable successor to the iPad 2. Enough of one that analysts are already tweaking their sales estimates upward. “We believe this significant refresh will likely help drive higher iPad sales and help further differentiate from arguably the only real competitor in the market, Amazon’s Kindle Fire, and not to mention the myriad of Android offerings out there,” says Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu.

Charles Murray on the New American Divide. Nagging in Marriage Is More Common Than Adultery But Can Also Lead to Divorce. Ken Mac Dougall bit into the sandwich his wife had packed him for lunch and noticed something odd—a Post-it note tucked between the ham and the cheese. He pulled it out of his mouth, smoothed the crinkles and read what his wife had written: "Be in aisle 10 of Home Depot tonight at 6 p.m. " Mr. Mac Dougall was renovating the couple's Oak Ridge, N.J., kitchen, and his wife had been urging him to pick out the floor tiles. He felt he had plenty of time to do this task. She felt unheard. "I thought the note was an ingenious and hysterical way to get his attention," says his wife, Janet Pfeiffer (whose occupation, interestingly enough, is a motivational speaker), recalling the incident which occurred several years ago. Nagging—the interaction in which one person repeatedly makes a request, the other person repeatedly ignores it and both become increasingly annoyed—is an issue every couple will grapple with at some point.
