Michael Markesbery, Co-founder and CEO of OROS, discusses his company's plan to disrupt the outerwear market through its use of aerogel technology, typically used by NASA for its spacesuits. Markesbery talks how OROS separates itself from high-end competitors like Canada Goose.
OROS jackets use what the company calls SolarCore technology. That's made of the same aerogel used in spacesuits for warmth. Markesberry says that what separates the jackets from Canada Goose and other goose down coats is their thinness.
Skype users are scrambling to find an alternative after Microsoft shut down the pioneering internet phone service which let people make cheap long distance calls and chat with other users. Google Voice lets users make calls from a smartphone or a desktop web browser but it's only available to people in the U.S. Viber users can call phone numbers but can't get a number to receive calls. Zoom offers phone options too. You could get a number from a low cost virtual carrier or try other internet phone services. Microsoft says some Skype features will migrate to Teams, but its Teams Phone feature is only for businesses.
