It is interesting to note that the problem the Xanadu effort was attacking, payments for content, etc., is still unsolved. Newspapers are going out of business because it is difficult to be compensated for information/content made available

The bottom line is what the money actually does in the end. It is much more difficult than most people assume to help people or solve problems with money. Pulling that much money from where it is invested now means less money for startups,

Some say Wall St is a "Ponzi scheme". If that was accurate, certainly one could argue big changes are in order, but is it accurate? In a Ponzi scheme, you have an organization that takes peoples money, does some complicated things with it t

No surprise. Microsoft usually does everything Apple does, a few years delayed and not as well.

In the PR world, there is a saying that "all publicity is good publicity". What about this antenna issue--is all the coverage a net positive for Apple or is this an exception to the "rule"? Just curious to know what others here think.

Maybe they did try hard, maybe Apple just made the nearly impossible look easy.

What do you consider the best available information on google's history?

I can't imagine that Apple didn't run these tests long before the external-antenna design was even selected. Maybe the cool climate of Silicon Valley or the fake-3GS case the real-world test units were encased in (as in the phone found in

It is ridiculous to assume this situation exists as a result of lack of capability on Greyhound's part. It exists because they make more money this way from people who can't figure out how to make Greyhound give them their money back. Why

I wonder if the fake-3GS case the real-world test units were encased in (as in the phone found in the bar) masked the issue during testing.

Continue contracting. Sell the BMW and buy a 2000 Camry. Take 60% of the 100k and invest in Apple, the rest in a selection of index funds. Reevaluate Apple in four years. Invest 15% of your ongoing contracting gross income the same way.

Offering an stunning device like this for $199 and $55 per month will likely result in an extended period of short supplies. Most people are accustomed to paying this for much lesser phones. Apple is fighting with both hands tied behind th

Perhaps Apple wants to hide the spec for 45 days because it would reveal a CDMA radio? I enjoyed this line: "it manages to make the 3GS appear bulbous by comparison"

SpaceX had their big contract with NASA structured as a fixed price contracts. Most other contracts are cost plus, where the contractor gets paid for their costs plus an additional percent for profit. It shouldn't be surprising that tradit

Although he doesn't mention the Kelly Johnson Skunk Works at Lockheed, where the SR-71 and other famous aircraft were created, the SpaceX approach is at least as similar to that as it is to a classical Silicon Valley startup. For those who

The killer app on the iPad is DRM. Without it, there would be no for-purchase TV shows, movies, books, or magazines as it would be impossible to license the content. The closed and managed system is not an option for Apple, it is essential
