   While I agree, its like all marketing (and having a degree in marketing makes me more jaded). It's no different than a group of friends having fun after popping a Coke can, or women being attracted to Axe body spray. They're selli

   You can value it at $8 billion, but that doesn't rule out that someone just overpaid for it. They did get a great deal on advertising

   I could duplicate this system in Microsoft Word and save tremendous time typing. If I'm emailing in your meeting, then most likely the meeting or my full attention is not needed.

   Perhaps not most, Looking online FBI says it has 70 million known criminal prints and 34 million civil prints. There's also this which is funny, "How do you know if you're in the FBI database? According to Department of Justi

   Yes this. Most of us have fingerprints in databases. Perhaps there is hypothetical risk of a digitized fingerprint leaking out and being planted to frame a crime, but I don't see how this fingerprint feature is really a true concern.

    Actually in the world of cars, most expensive luxury car brands are manufactured or owned by the "poor man's" version. Fiat owns Ferrari. Honda owns Acura. Tata owns Jaguar. Summing this move into "poor man's"

    This is an odd add in that its also advertising Android - a completely different product, in a foreign category. Maybe this whole viral stunt is paid by Google to advertise Android 4.4

    I think the change in this business is distribution, not necessarily cost vs revenue. Surely MBAs are running AMC as well. Revenue/Cost ratio is perhaps is more important - wider digital distribution leads to increased revenue over a f

    I think most people assumed the government was always doing this , and just accept it will continue to do this. To most people its not that far from the police being able to get access to similar records. The whole secret court aspect flies

    Color may be a poor indicator of taste but it's a good indicator of nutrition. Orange/Yellow/Red Carrots. Maybe its just a mis-applied bias in this wine case. As in Crystal Pepsi.

    Better advice would be to know what you're time is worth, and don't sell it for less - even to yourself.
