How does this affect your accounting and total compensation? Is there a standard minimum at all that is paid out?

I have to take issue with your last statement: "(Or find some drugs and idle the rest of your life away.)" We could likely agree that over-prescription is a problem, as is people not willing to make change or enter psychotherapy. But some p

One of the critical measures though is that most activists openly do so. Someone up-thread mentions that MLK was a criminal, and he was. As was Ghandi, and others. But they said here I am, here is what I am doing, and why I am breaking this

Can I add/posit that, perhaps the reason Amazon is also taking this pretty passively other then just shutting down and waiting to see if the law changes - is that the affiliate marketing programs are perhaps just not that valuable to them a

"Users will be able to store their entire music collections in the cloud—even if they obtained some songs illegally." This could be a major coup for Apple if true.

Indeed the entire statute around these things needs to be re-thought out. And even if you are eventually acquitted the property can still remain the property of the state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture#Asset_forfeitu... Ju

I don't mean that I don't use it all. I just don't use it for every single thing, every day. I was doing that, and was paying it off timely. But I found my spending was higher then I'd care for.

This is exactly how I've been doing it. Auto-transfer set up on the bank account, and taking cash out for spending money instead of just letting myself use a credit or debit card.

It strikes me as very strategic for a few reasons. 1. As pointed out below, Google and Amazon are likely to pick this fight. I would imagine Apple is more then happy to let those two companies spend the blood, sweat, tears and dollars on wh

For me, as a member of that current generation, I value highly my ownership of digital files. I can't get into things like Rdio, I love Pandora for just throwing on like a radio though. But when it comes to my music collection, I've been ga

I ran the program and looked at my iPhone dump, and it is not that exact and I live in NYC. It truly appears to just tag position of towers. Where it shows the dots for me is not exact or even close positions most of the time, and even loca

I still think beginning your argument in that way is unhelpful to the discussion. He said nothing of value by calling him a navel-gazing armchair analyst. The comment would have been more valuable simply taking issue with the one line he qu

Ad hominem much? We can argue about his conclusions and methods, but to say that he's some armchair analyst to me implies that his track-record is poor and that he should not be considered trustworthy on analyzing Apple's financials. That's

It may vary from nation to nation, but under US law the relevant act here is the Sherman Antitrust Act, which deals with single-firm anti-competitive behavior. We'd have to wade through a lot of case-law here, but if you'll permit me the ab

I'm sorry, how do they have a monopoly on portable music players? They have a very popular player, of which they are the sole manufacturer, and require you to use their software. The free market has plenty of alternatives, though not as goo

But you donated to a legal defense fund. You may have hoped for a different outcome, but the fund was for the defense of the individual, and in this case settlement was likely the best defense. But maybe he promised not to settle in solicit

The central problem I see is most PMs don't want to be PMs, and are tricked into being hired as account people. I like what I do, and my team knows I have their back, we do quite well together.

Though I am a dreaded project manager, I agree mostly to what you are saying. But in the field I work in, advertising, I do think that its necessary and that my value is additive. My responsibility is mainly to be a shit umbrella, so my cre

Sure. But 1. do we see any actual Android marketing on TV or media? We see marketing from the individuals handset makers, but very rarely, or at least I haven't from Google, for the OS, which makes sense in some light. Contrast that with a

I'm not surprised, this is what the third year in a row now? I hope Apple pays attention to the things Google is doing with Chrome. If I'm not mistaken, Lion will be shipping with WebKit2 and sand-boxing. I've tried Chrome, but I just alway

The same thing happened with the original iPad, most likely, as was noted above, 4.3 was already nearly done when the Verizon iPhone was being prepared, as seen by many 4.3 features being in the current ViPhone. Most likely the next release

Sure, but that would make sense if they just disabled the application and informed that there was a problem. According to the creator it seems not only was it shut down, but completely deleted.
