- Drop the shiny, translucent Aqua-wanna-be thing. Windows should look serious, a la NT 3.51/Win2K. It's been downhill since then. If you want to copy someone, take some style hints from NeXTStep, or these guys: http://www.ableton.com/live

Looking back to 1971, for any 20 year period the S&P 500 netted a gain. For the last 20 years, that gain was 6% per year. OK, but not what I would term "crushing" performance. For the last 10 years, the S&P 500 is down 2.5% on an an

Mainframes are very good at their jobs. Where do you think virtual machines, NoSQL databases, SQL databases, etc., got their start -- about 40 years ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM_(operating_system) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSA
