From NYT page [1], the most expensive option: "All Digital Access: $8.75 per week (billed every 4 weeks at $35.00)" 40e6 / (35*12) ~ 95000 yearly subscriptions (but 35$/month is revenue, not profit) On the other hand, their circulation is:

User-defined weigths for tags is a nice idea indeed. Might be too much load on the server, though, as it will actually mean that every user has his own front page.

There could also be something like a time-to-live for a review; say after half a year the mark disappears and you can/should rate the project anew at based on current state.

A senator takes blogger's opinion into account and revises the legislation? That's how a democracy should work. I'm really impressed (and the revised conditions seem very reasonable, too).

It was up to whoever makes a comparison to find such a device. Comparing your device's price to something with a better specs is stretching the truth; if comparable device doesn't exist - just don't do this comparison.

Okay. Please provide your data on sales (on iPads, Samsung Tabs and other competitors you consider worthy) and show that iPad has more than 90% market share.

by egor83 16y ago
1) I don't see how the 90% market share statement is wrong From the article: Apple sold 14.8 mln iPads. Samsung sold 2 mln Tabs. Do you imply that these figures are not correct? If so, please provide better data. But if we use these figur

The claim about 90% market share. Price comparison, while not outright wrong, is still stretching the truth a bit. "Smooth/small" thing too.

The latter. Now I remember I once discussed this with a friend of mine who is married and has a kid; he told that it's much easier to concentrate in the office. So, yes, my bad, the first line should've been split in two.

I've never worked in a private office, so it was hard for me to judge; I thought those two options were quite close. Could you please list some differences between a home and a private office?
