   I'm not so sure Apple would want to leave the market just because there are a lot of other companies in that space. There is still room for growth, which is key. Steve Jobs often refers to iPod/iTunes as one of Apple's three "legs": http:

   iPod users are fiercely loyal. Let's pretend for a moment that the open-source community produces something better than the iPod using whatever metric. Would it really matter? There are mp3 players out there that technically give you mor

   Open source software is appealing because it's free. There is a very low amount of commitment when you download the source for open-source software. You can sort of poke around and come back to it as you please. Open-source hardware requi

   There is definitely a bubble forming. Look no further than Facebook, a company with a multi-billion dollar valuation, negative revenues, and no business model in sight. CEO Zuckerburg says that for the next few years he is more worried ab

   With 2 monitors you can have code on one screen and browsers on another screen (if you are building a web app). With a third monitor you can have email, or a design comp. Depending on the complexity of what you are doing you may have seve

    I am not sure why equality === misery. But I am not talking about everyone having the same amount of money- using the word equality did not adequately convey my feelings on this. I am talking about setting a standard for living (we alread

    Free markets never fix societal inequities. In fact, they exacerbate them. People with wealth use that wealth to generate more wealth. Additionally, only a percentage of the lower class can climb to the upper class in each generation. I
