I did read the rest of it and I still say the complaints he has against Amazon sound more like complaints against working in retail. If you like having a nice working environment, stay far away from retail because they're all like that. T

I only got down the first few paragraphs but it sounds like most of the complaints are "retail vs tech company" stuff. Retail has razor-thin margins so of course they will all be cheap as hell. If you think Amazon is bad, try working for

>the Macbook Pro line will be slimmed down to Air specs Wow, I hope not. Right now I use MBP as a desktop replacement. I've been able to get away with that so far because the iMac isn't normally dramatically far ahead of the 17".

Amazing how far we've come, eh? Hard for me to reconcile the fact that I have to put US-based communications in the same mental bucket as China-based communications.

I don't understand why this troll post hasn't been down voted into the background by now. What Steve did that was so important was he finally started forcing technology to bend to our whims instead of the other way around. I remember whe

Really? Do you know what his salary was at Apple as CEO? Do you know how much money the man just through away by letting stock options expire? It seems to me that once he had a certain amount he really didn't care about money at all anym

Yea, what a great idea. Why did no one think of this? Oh, wait. They did. They voted in Obama to make a statement against Bush's policies. What did they get? More of Bush's policies. The US is a two party system where both parties get

That sounds great. Your family also has an advantage over those who go it alone because you can be more efficient with finances (we don't each need our own mortgage, interest payments, etc.) and you have more opportunity to take chances.

I'm not one of these guys, but I would think it's pretty easy to justify actually. Say you're just some guy who has one brilliant idea in his life. You lack any kind of talent or resources to bring this idea to market but you came up with
