I'm curious how this will work - who knows exactly how many papers they will publish at the start of a grant? And what about fields with low grant amounts (mathematics, humanities, etc?)

Yes, but they run iPhone apps. Jobs' point was that you wouldn't want to run iPad apps on a 7" screen - if you tried to fit in the extra information you can show on an iPad into a smaller space that would make the touch targets too small. S

Good comparison, I think. Tangent: Without any proof at all, I always thought the iPod hifi was some pet project of Steve's because he was into music. Anyone know the backstory there?

You're kidding, right? You're offering the iPhone as your example of a product where the public was underwhelmed at its launch?

I'm not sure your first and second points really make sense together - if second tier vendors throw in the towel wouldn't that reduce the pressure on margins?

Same reason basic research is mostly funded by the state - there are things that are valuable to a society that no one individual will pay for.

Note that FRAND is fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory . That last part is an explicit promise to treat all users the same, irrespective of their profit margins or anything else.

I'm mystified why you think 1) matters in this argument. Obviously this is a very different discussion if they dropped the FRAND patent suits and only sued on non-FRAND patents. And, since you ask, I think threatening the entire industry st

You're not wrong in the confines of the model you're operating in (perfect competition), but be careful about assuming that that model is a complete description of the world. Especially in this case, reality is complicated. So complicated,

Example: Company sells 100 million of a product in the US + 10 million at lower price in poorer country (assume same number of units for simplicity). Total revenue: 110 million. Somebody starts to buy in the poor country and re-sell in the

It's a cool stunt, but I don't quite understand why everyone is so excited about this as a tech demo - surely a head mounted camera is the least interesting use of Google Glass, and the big unknown is how it looks on the user side?

Umm... so you agree? Price discrimination can reduce DWL? By the way, there's no need to assume MC is a function of Q since that just complicates the example for no benefit (in the wiki article notice that MC is just a constant 10 cents). A

Okay, let's take the monopoly example from wikipedia. Firm prices at monopoly price (60 cents), deadweight loss because all transactions for buyers with marginal benefit between 10 and 60 cents do not occur. Assume some identifiable group o

From the trades that don't happen because the producer can't sell to certain segments at a lower price (for fear of reducing his profit on other segments). I suppose it's worth noting that this isn't an issue in perfectly competitive market
