   In my life I find all kinds of people giving advice. Advice isn't worth anything unless you reach those conclusions through your own accord. If you're a rationally minded person, a little bit knowledge of economics can go a long way.

   when mom and pop stand at best buy and look through the options, there's definitely going to be some cheaper options than an ipad. still though, i anticipate christmas will be good for Apple.

   Our designer is awesome. I'm fortunate to have grown up around artists, so me communicating with him works well. The big thing though is he goes out of his way to understand the technical issues, and fortunately I'm reasonably good at expla

    that's not much better... 2% still means upwards of 6m devices out there (assuming 300m people in the US), which isn't insignificant. Maybe it's small compared to, say, Apple's iPhone+iPod market, but I think it's fair to say that they're '

    Actually, I talked with them at openworld a while back, and i got the impression that the prices were negotiable if you're a big enough customer. I may have totally misunderstood them though, but I also talked with them back when they were

    This is a superfluous use of technology. The people that go there already take plenty of precautions. As a climber, I would not rely on a communication channel installed by someone else as anything more than a hail mary. The notion that peo

    We had google checkout and paypal as payment options. The difference was easily 10:1 in favor of paypal. People paying from overseas prefer paypal significantly.

    What people miss is Oracle's customer isn't the small guy. Until you get Walmart or Amazon or someone escalating Java issues, the importance of it internally won't increase.

    I pay $105 in California from Anthem Blue Cross with a $3500 deductible. After the deductible, everything's covered... basically, i do my best to stay healthy, but worst comes to worst, $3500 will be the least of my worries.
