$3.5 million is simply too large a number for your theory to be correct. A number that large to a single employee doesn't come out of thin air, it's based on something -- whether that be formal analysis or back of the envelope calculation.

Most likely somebody just forwarded it to their favorite blog, especially if they didn't think the email was confidential. Pretty easy to track outgoing email.

Why aren't they allowing new customers to take advantage of this? I wonder if it's for technical or business reasons.

I would guess they do to. Netflix recently moved to the AWS infrastructure for their streaming and it was recently revealed that Netflix accounts for 20 percent of all internet traffic during peak times. I highly doubt Amazon simply said "g

They mention that their data actually admits the opposite, that they're less economical, costing about $100/foot. They don't mention what the alternative ladders cost, but it sounds like their argument is because wood ladders gain them adva

If you have a Bank of America credit card, you can just use the ShopSafe feature. Log in to your account online and you can generate temporary card numbers to purchase something online (allocating as much allowable spending as you want), so

Interesting that it lists 30GB data transfer (15 in/out) as one of the items. All inbound data transfer is currently free anyways for everyone. It's been due to expire at regular intervals, but they keep extending this further (presumably t

Japan has a lot of smart businessmen, but their problem is actually that the government has supported their businesses too much. Japan is in a horrible economic situation precisely because they've honored failed entrepreneurs (or at least t

You can easily compete with Google on UI/UX. It's a company run by engineers, so traditionally they've been horrible in this respect, focusing mainly on the engineering behind the product rather than the eye-candy.

Legal issues aside (these can be resolved), if that's really true then Google's shareholders should consider replacing the board, as they are passing up a tremendous opportunity.

You're right, there is a lot of risk, which is why you have to be an accredited investor in order to take part in such a transaction.

It's very simple: People are still willing to lend money to the US government at very low rates because the other areas for investment (i.e. the stock market) are viewed as too risky. Additional government stimulus has little to do with it

As far as I'm aware, the revenue generated by a foreign subsidiary is not taxed again by the US until it enters the US economy. So long as it stays overseas we don't touch it. It's interesting to hear people note the record amounts of cash

I can see that too, but I don't think it's impossible. I don't think it will be an instant transition from driver to computer, it will be more gradual. More and more things in your car will become automated, starting with the simplest until

I suppose if your goal was to let people keep as much money as possible, then sure -- don't tax them on anything. However, voters have accepted a certain amount of self-inflicted pain in exchange for services that the private sector can't o

I don't accept your premise that taxes = penalization. Employers who pay their employees $35,000/yr have to pay more in federal taxes than if they paid their employees $34,000/yr. I don't consider that a penalty either. Its progressive tax

It doesn't matter that the tax takes effect in 2018. The "premium" plans are increasing their costs as soon as next year in anticipation of that eventual reality. Companies which have open enrollment coming up soon are seeing these increase

They haven't even included Visio in the Office bundle yet, so I doubt they'd put Photoshop in there.

How does a charge card cost less in the long run? Why not just have a credit card that you pay off each month? Nobody is forcing you to carry a balance and there are tons of credit cards with no annual fees.
