   I always thought Yahoo would have been a good acquisition for Apple, back when Yahoo were courting Microsoft and Apple was getting its feet wet with iAds. Buying eBay/Paypal would be interesting but the same could be said for Google bu

   I'm glad I'm not the only one to see that! OT, but does anyone know if these adverts actually make money?

   Why would Apple buy them? If they wanted to release iMessage for Android, they would. But it's a selling point for them, so it's not likely to happen.

    Mondaine licensed the Swiss Railways design[0] but don't use the constant motion mechanism, maybe the demo is emulating their watches? [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondaine

    I always do my calculations with the net amount. I don't see why you'd want to include a portion you're definitely going to lose unless you're trying to make the figures work… Also, I don't like to include bonuses u

    You're flushing money every month with the interest on a mortgage + taxes + maintenance. You just have to hope that this is less than the amount you'd be paying in rent. (assuming property prices stay flat)

    I spend 17% of my net wage on my mortgage. I'd probably be happy doubling that once I've built up a larger rainy day reserve.

    You could edit your hosts file and map their domains to 127.0.0.1 or even filter them at your router, if it has that functionality.
