Half the price? Not entirely accurate. The subsidized price is going from $199 to $99, but the actual price of the device is just dropping by 20% from $499 to $399. People forget the hidden extra $300.

Dropping 1080p is a mistake. Yeah, 1080p looks the same as 720p at normal viewing distances, but most consumers don't believe it. They got that 1080p TV and by god they want 1080p content. Even if it's highly-compressed artifact ridden vide

Because the state was swimming in money from tax receipts because the economy was doing so well. It's easy for legislators to give out stuff when there's a surplus.

Yeah but if it hadn't been for Prop 13, many people (quite possibly your parents) potentially could be driven out of their homes due to escalating property taxes had taxes scaled with the "market value" of their homes. Actually the biggest

Yahoo finance (last year) had 20 million unique readers. That probably gives you an idea of the scale of how many people are individual investors or interested in investing. http://gigaom.com/2009/07/16/yahoos-number-ones-so-much-more...

I think this is a push by the investors to cash out. It boggles my mind (according to techcrunch) that they have $355M in financing. They are heavily dependent on organic search results that a re-balancing of google's algorithms could squas

$130 is a really compelling price point. The NY Times charges $20/month to access their Kindle edition ($240/year). What they should do is offer a 2-year contract and throw a Kindle in for free. I personally hate this model, but it's been p

I really like how Logitech solves this problem with their Performance MX mouse. It takes a AA battery and includes a rechargeable AA battery. When the mouse's battery runs low, you just connect the (included) micro-USB cable. The mouse rech

It will never kill Facebook. Facebook as an entity will still exist. Sure there might be a change in ownership, lawsuits, etc. But nobody involved would want to threaten the functional business / golden goose which is Facebook.
