I know this company. Their marketing REEKS of lame desperation. The whole company is basically like that one old Toyota commercial where the guy equated a Corolla with punk music (or whatever generic car it was). https://www.yout

You took the words out of my mouth. RS might be the most disgraceful mainstream (or semi-mainstream, however you want to describe them) journal in America today.

Terrorists tend to be stupid. Honestly. Look at Richard Reid, the shoe bomber. The guy goes to the airplane bathroom to prepare his shoe bomb, then he returns to his seat, covers himself with a blanket, and tries to detonate the bomb by lig

I read this thing and it really becomes clear how the private equity firm 3G is able to buy these old consumer products companies like Budweiser and Heinz and fire half the company and cut all sorts of other expenses and have it not adverse

Nope, that's just your projecting. Feel free to make up anything you'd like about me though as long as it soothes you.

iTunes somehow managed to go from one of the single-most enjoyable software experiences to literally unusable. Repeat: UNUSABLE. Bizarre to think that the application that played arguably the largest role in Apple's trajectory to hyper

I dont know about ELA deals but Azure is something like 15-20% of the size of AWS based on other various data points. My BS detector also went off about their $9b run-rate comment.

I wonder how far Liz Holmes is going to take this thing. I wonder when it hits the breaking point where even she accepts the cold hard truth that this company that was famously valued at $9b is pure vaporware, built on little more than smok

Apple reaps 100% of the PROFITS. They are effectively a natural monopolist. Who cares about money-losing Android customers??? [praying I don't start some juvenile iOS/Android flame war] I've never asked this before but why di

It's one of the great misconceptions. You can't tax a corporation, you can only tax people.

AVG is not a security vendor - they are a malware company disguised as a security vendor. They're just like all the other browser highjacking bullshit companies like Perion. Look at AVG's logo and how similar it is to Windows&#x27

Quick reminder that he was arrested for SECURITIES fraud - this isn't related to drug prices. Feel free to read the lawsuit filed against him by his former company to understand why Martin got arrested. The guy is a pure sociopath. I h

Bill Murray gets the big picture: life's too short. He simply doesn't give a crap either way. Suing people over a tee shirt is a waste of time.

People have never been wealthier or had more leisure time in spite of income inequality. If you genuinely think parts of the US resemble 3rd world countries, you clearly haven't been nor appreciate the meaning of "3rd world countr

The claim of losing money is almost certainly a lie. The marginal cost of a drug like this is usually almost nothing. The manufacturing costs tend to be small, and something like this doesn't need a sales force. Meanwhile, Questcor and

Genuinely terrifying stuff. Ultra-orthodox liberalism is surpassing everyone's wildest imaginations and proving that extremism is agnostic in which side of the political spectrum it affects. I'm nearly speechless about it all, eve
