Warren Buffett has one piece of advice to anyone starting a new business.

He gave that advice to a group of small business entrepreneurs at the 20th graduation of the Goldman Sachs "10,000 Small Businesses" program:

"Tomorrow morning when you look in the mirror after you've gotten up, just write — in lipstick or whatever you want, on the mirror — just put: Delight my customer," Buffett said.

"Not satisfy my customer, delight my customer."

Even if a film doesn't sell many tickets at the box office, it can still go on to become a beloved cult classic.

From "The Wizard of Oz" to "The Big Lebowski," here are 17 classic films that originally bombed in theaters.

For travelers with the gleam of the Big Apple in their eye, nothing seems better than New York City in the summertime.

Restaurants have outdoor seating, there are festivals all over town, and you don't have to worry about bringing your jacket to Top of the Rock.

But long-time city dwellers know the horror behind the mystique: those awful smells that dominate every daily commute to and from the office.

Here's why it's hard to escape the stench of the city in the heat of summer. Читать дальше...

Beyoncé was awarded the Fashion Icon award at the 2016 CFDA Awards, which are pretty much the Oscars of the fashion world.

In it, she spoke about the influence fashion has had on her life, dating back to when her grandmother picked up work as a seamstress so she could afford to send Beyoncé's mother to Catholic school.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in a huge hole in the NBA Finals, down 2-0 and getting blown out in both games. If they can't come back in this series against the Golden State Warriors, it will extend one of the most dubious marks in North American professional sports.

As I start this post, I am naming it “Why I’m on US recession watch despite 2% growth." I don’t know if that name will stick when I publish this piece; nonetheless, that is the theme I am trying to get across. When I look at the economic data, it shows a near-term in the 2% growth range – stall speed or slightly below.

But when I look at the same data for medium-term clues, I still see reasons to be concerned, and, therefore, I continue to be on recession watch.

In a monumental statement released by his campaign on Tuesday, Donald Trump vowed to stop talking about the civil case involving his now defunct Trump University and the judge whom he has repeatedly attacked in recent days over his heritage.

Trump previously lambasted US District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel over his Mexican heritage, accusing the judge of being unable to preside impartially over the case involving Trump University.

He said that because Curiel... Читать дальше...

Ron Baron, CEO of Baron Capital Group, believes that Tesla is going to grow and grow and grow.

He said that the electric-car maker could grow to be "one of the largest companies" in the world during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday.

"I think there is a very good chance I could own this stock for 10, 15, 20 years," said Baron, who predicted that he would make $6 billion or $7 billion over that time frame.

Keurig Green Mountain once hoped the next big thing would be its cold-drink maker. Less than a year after it launched, the brand is discontinuing the machine. Consumers who already purchased a Keurig Kold — a $370 machine that creates carbonated, chilled beverages — can get a full refund from the company. 

Keurig Kold's ability to deliver a carbonated, chilled beverage in 90 seconds without using a CO2 canister was intended to give the Kold an edge over rivals like SodaStream. Читать дальше...

When it comes to architectural design, Daniel Brown likes to create the impossible.

The London-based programmer and designer is the mastermind behind a newly released series of computer-generated cityscapes that look straight out of the movie "Inception." 

"I was interested in the idea of 'creating' a virtual city, but realised I could never design such an amount of detail," Brown told Tech Insider in an email. So he created an algorithm that handled that detail for him. Читать дальше...

Sean "Diddy" Combs is having trouble selling his apartment.

The rapper, producer, and entrepreneur has been trying to sell his home in Manhattan's The Park Imperial for the past four years, according to The Observer.

Dubsmash quickly became an overnight success when it debuted in late 2014.

The app let users create videos of themselves lip syncing to popular songs or movie lines. But unlike Instagram or Vine, these videos, called "dubs," weren't shared directly onto Dubsmash. They were meant to go viral on other platforms. 

But, 100 million users and countless celebrity dubs later, Dubsmash is changing its tune.

Last month, the app was completely revamped to become a full-fledged messaging service. Читать дальше...

A Republican senator from Illinois announced on Tuesday that he would not support Donald Trump, his party's presumptive nominee for president, in November.

Mark Kirk's statement was issued amid a firestorm in the Republican Party about Trump's attacks on a federal judge, which many have characterized as racist. And it came after the senator said that he would support Trump if the real-estate mogul won the nomination.

In a recent interview with Joe Polish, creator of the Genius Network Internet Series, billionaire John Paul DeJoria revealed a curious statistic.

Since DeJoria cofounded John Paul Mitchell Systems nearly four decades ago, he said only 70 employees have left the company.

To be clear, we're not talking about an organization with tens of thousands of people — DeJoria said John Paul Mitchell Systems has 300 full-time and about 800 part-time workers. But... Читать дальше...

"Deadpool" was a huge surprise hit at the box office this year, and brought the beloved comic book hero to the big screen for the first time. 

While the visual effects might not look as flashy as those in, say, "Captain America: Civil War," it took a lot of work to bring "Deadpool" to life.

Rodeo FX, one of the companies that did visual effects for the film, released a video breaking down some of its work on "Deadpool."

Everyone knows Amazon for its online-retail business, but it's everything else that could lead to crazy future growth for the company.

Oppenheimer just adjusted its 12-month price target to $930, about 28% higher than Tuesday's opening price.

This rosy outlook is based primarily on the potential of Amazon Web Services. The business has been a consistent performer for Amazon since early 2014.

Two years ago, I made the decision to leave my job as a lawyer to travel the world as I transitioned into a new career as a journalist.

The decision was scary, exciting, and left me wondering more than once if I'd made the right decision.

I can now say without a doubt that I did.

The experience not only let me tick a few countries off my list, but also equipped me with skills and experiences that have been useful in both my personal and professional lives. Читать дальше...
