Paul Krugman, in the 90s, was brilliant. Unfortunately, I think realized that greater fame, influence, and wealth comes from partisan hackery. He still has important thoughts to share, but his signal/noise ratio has degraded.

Same here. I feel that to get the most out of an Android phone, I'd have to spend time on forums reading posts on how to modify X or Y. Furthermore, I want to be on the same platform as my girlfriend and family (for the obvious synergies).

The two fantasy football apps above yours in the iTunes store (Rotoworld and NFL Fantasy Cheat Sheet) are less "overdesigned" than your app. Doesn't this suggest that you're making a spurious correlation between the level of an app's sales

How does the fact that the app sells well disprove the fact that the app is badly designed? I have both Motion-X apps, and I love their features, but I find myself using simpler apps because of the Motion-X UI clutter. Motion-X offers an im

I disagree. While he doesn't seem to mind the credit and attention that he's getting, he didn't "invent" that concept. Look at what he said in his 60 Minutes interview: “My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept eac

Sorry for such a late reply, but I agree in full. I really loathe using the Bloomberg Terminal, and I can't believe it hasn't been done better yet. I'm hoping someone recognizes that low-hanging fruit.

Flame-bait titles invariably leads to silly arguments about why ______ did more than _______. Both Gates and Jobs have done remarkable things from which many people benefited. We don't need to compare Gates or Jobs or give the impression th

Your title totally mis-characterizes your own post (which doesn't even mention Gates[edit:I guess it does]). I'm tired of the comparison between Jobs and Gates. Can't you recognize the achievements of one without belittling the other in you

In a post-apocalyptic world, will dollars, yen, or euro still be valuable? Your assertion is absurd because you're expecting gold-backed money to do more than fiat money does.

I wasn't trying to be political at all. And I don't want to get into a political debate here. So please, stop pushing this into bad territory.

For example, Einstein was a famous supporter of socialism. http://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism Okay, and before I enrage anybody else, Einstein was one of my childhood heroes and inspirations, and still is. We can't say that

Tone matters for rhetorical persuasion. The only tone I desire from a scientific piece is the truth.

Bloomberg and Reuters already have competing services that cost tens of thousands of dollars each year for a subscription. If they bought this, it'd be to eliminate a competitor.

You're right about Excel. It is the corporate behemoth that may never be slayed. I'm thinking of getting a Mac, but can the Mac version of Excel do keyboard shortcuts like on Windows? (E.g. "alt, o, h, r" to rename a sheet, or "alt, i, w" t

You're making a spurious correlation. If your assertion was correct, the French, British, Danish, Portuguese, and Spanish, et al.--the great colonial powers--should be stronger economies than the United States. http://qed.princeton.edu/get

That said, my original point was that we're looking at a financial ratio, and the first rule of applying financial ratios is that they are useless in a vacuum. We don't know the fundamental valuation of the company. I didn't say it's inhere

Can you cut the cryptic message and tell me what you're talking about? The Reinhart/Rogoff book? Or are you just trying to irrelevantly reply with a nice catchphrase?

No, capitalism is not a zero sum game, if that is what you're implying.

Yes, you may have a really (REALLY) rough idea of the lower bound of the P/E ratio. However, the going concern is that it is over- not under-valued, so that estimate is useless. Also, we (I) have no idea of what their net income picture loo

You'd need access to a) tremendous leverage and b) proximity to the exchange that you'd want to trade on (the profit opportunities disappear when faced with greater latency).

Um, no. It was coined by the late great economist, George Stigler. It comes from the field of economics. What concerns me is your ease in classifying a phrase as a Frank Luntz "buzz word" for the mere reason of disagreeing with it. It shows
