Oh how quickly the past is forgotten :) In early 2000s, microsoft, through its partners, tried releasing remote displays powered by windows CE - they were essentially a precursor to the tablet. Several devices were exactly as you describe.

Almost no manufacturers do it - historically, BMW and MB have been "caught" doing this, with 335i and C-class AMG engines. A commonly accepted explanation for this is that the "cheaper" model is made to appear less power

I guess i was part of trials in Northern New Jersey - a random guy showed up in a beaten up car (i noticed because it had pretty nasty oil smoke coming out of the tailpipes, almost cartoon-like). He was wearing an "amazon now" t-s

BBG's competitive advantage is not data - in fact, it's pretty mediocre. Any reasonably large player sources their own data feeds due to too many holes in the former. BBG's killer features are support and _chat_ - chat with o

In a densely populated area such as West LA there is a gas station every half mile - what is the use case for this except "oh crap, I didn't fill up and I don't have 10 min in morning to get gas". An average tank size is

if you were applying to the US branches, then visa red tape was likely culprit - it's awfully time consuming and expensive to get an intern (who doesn't already have a J1-like visa into the country for just 2-3 months internship.

It's actually usually not the employer, but the local dept of labor laws - for salaries employees, unless explicitly stated otherwise - your employer generally "owns" anything you do in your line of work, even on your own tim

Agree on mini coding, useless projects - especially when an HR drone sends out Java test to a python dev :) Another thing to keep in mind is that for a lot of people who are already employed, permission must be obtained from current employe

Dont overcomplicate things: 1. Sell short stock in X. 2. Put out a fake, negative press release. 3. Buy back shares at a huge profit. For prior example, see: http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/03/technolo

Is the page background indicative of where one's relationship will soon end up after the other partner finds out? :) [Sorry couldn't help myself!] On a more constructive note, a generic postcard arriving in mail is pretty lame, if

A somewhat related idea has been used by institutional players for quite some time now - there are companies specializing in bilateral counterparty risk netting, e.g. http://www.trioptima.com/ The basic idea is identify and

Ambulances do take you to nearest ER but more and more health insurance plans do not cover the cost of the ride (which is $1000-$2000) or have a $500 deductible for such. Unless you're in real trouble, its often cheaper and simpler to
