Disclaimer: I live in Canada's poorest province. I've never heard of the "money available per square kilometer" indicator, though I'm sure it exists. Of course that would be low, Canada is the 2nd largest country land-wise and has half the

What I really want is an iTunes for stocks and maybe some other simple securities, something that will allow the really small investor to dabble. I guess there's a whole bunch of regulatory and legal reasons that this can't happen.

Perhaps not to us, however Nintendo bet the farm on this vision. The Wii is weaker graphically and in online connectivity than its competitors. It also had the disadvantage of following the (relatively) disappointing Gamecube. Had the inter

That's all well and good but if the Xbox was its own entity it would have been closed down years ago, I don't think the division is yet profitable. What they are doing is using the profitability of Windows/Office to buy market share in othe

I know in the podcast Spolsky and Attwood have discussed making a "community answer" a feature. As I recall there were some issues around community answers in general, because of the wiki-like behavior of allowing others to edit answers the

You're introducing unnecessary complexity into the system; instead of the lock, light, and wiring between the two we would have lock, light, motion detector, and wiring between all three. It may be trivial, but ensuring fewer failure points

This is really bad for Microsoft, not the content of the story which was known weeks ago, but the fact that this is now the most emailed story on the New York Times site. What was common knowledge in the IT community is now spreading in the
