Launch day sold out. $270 million dollars later. I'd hardly call that floundering.

Looks like a good Sci-Fi-Thriller mix. Too bad that there are payment disputes happening, and Apple gets the blame in the public image.

Definitely seems like an IKEA buy. I would've gone with black to fit into any decor.

TheVerge has a great breakdown of the history.

Pulse oximetry was invented by Takuo Aoyagi, not Masimo. While I have been siding with Masimo for the most part, learning more shows that they are trying to claim ownership of ideas that may not truly be their own. Their claims are based mostly on timing of when the ideas were conceived.

Still, Masimo is pushing for ownership of the health-related patents Lamego developed for Apple. Masimo claims Lamego developed the patents’ subject matter while he was employed by Ceracor and because of this, Lamego “had an obligation to assign said subject matter, patents, and patent applications to their employer, Masimo and Cercacor.”

When I see words like "claims", it raises some red flags.

Change is inevitable. Those that try to hold onto the past are stuck in the past.
