Have you seen footage from an eye tracking session? A user can't explain or point his mouse to where he is looking. The eyes move quickly and somewhat unconsciously.

If you knew the price of a stock on a certain date, options would be good. And you could leverage the investment with no risk. Better return than buying stocks outright.

If we are talking about institutions still in place today of 1000+ year age, there are examples such as the Japanese empire (started BC) and the Danish kingdom (started in the 10th century).

If you are voting you could start with not voting for the politicians that keep corn subsidies in place. Which is most of them. Probably Ron Paul would be one of the few politicians that are actually against it. Because it doesn't say in th

Some are christians some are not. I don't know why Danes or Swedes are labeled godless. In the surveys I have seen, most, but not all, Danes say they believe in God. I know that in many other countries some a lot of people say they are Chri

Apple, a growth company, is at a P/E of about 18. The historical average is about 20. Growth companies (like Apple) were at 30-40+ recently.

And expensive, capped, government controlled internet. Which the government wants to add an extensive government firewall to. And logging/surveillance of which websites people visit. But who want's freedom when you can have sausages? ;)

Actually it looks like they imitated some features and solutions from OS X, not just simplicity per se. For instance the dock, how the user can control the menubar (taskbar in Windows) and how you select a wireless network. By Redmond runni

Yeah, having cash is overrated. Give all of your cash to me ;) Seriously, Apple are raking it in. They have more cash because they make so much money every quarter. I think they should pay dividends though.

Yes. Not knowing exactly when it will be finished, trying to see if the light is just "on" or pulsating. Getting off the train while it's still at your station or getting on a plane etc.

First of all it is morally wrong. And for the good of a nation? Nationalism is an ugly thing. Second of all it's not good for the nation.

In his defense, they spell it expresso in France. Either way you should be able to a good one and a grinder for less than about US$2000 most places. If you can afford to have several employees, spending $2K should be doable.

Is that per mile or per hour? If you drive you do have some control of the risk. By how you drive, which car you drive, how it's maintained and when you drive etc.

No, not contradictory. Apple is going down with all the other stocks. It has had a high multiple (Price of the stock/earnings) and still has IMO. The growth in Mac sales is not news and has been known by the market.

Not luxury for everyone. A lot of people use Macs for work and will only buy Macs if they need another computer.

I'd say it's a great advertisment for how much wealth that can be created in a relatively free economy. You don't see many mega yacht buyers from Cuba or North Korea. And I think your thought of having the state stealing even more money fro

He can pilot it himself. I think if you are going to have a mega yacht, sail is the way to go over power. Yeah, it's a floating home, but it can also sail - that's awesome. You can take a tender into harbors. Also, longer sail boats can g

Why the hate? It seems that you make up stories about term sheets just to hate on the ship. It isn't his fault that the financial system is a mess. Turn to politicians and voters for that. That he builds a big ship doesn't mean that someone

I moved out of Denmark. If a Danish company sells something to consumers it has to charge 25% VAT, even if those consumers live somewhere else. Living costs are high. Corporate tax rate has been lowered, but pretty much all the other taxes
