Apple is currently run by 'marketing department.' It's just a good one. 'Marketing department' doesn't mean the advertisers that have nothing to do with anything else any more then 'engineers' doesn't mean techies in the back room that ha

I'm going to nitpick. Adroid's strategy is that it's not tied to one brand, one manufacturer, one feature-set, and one network. Time will tell if it is a strength. Apple has not launched an Iphone strategy that is the opposite by chance.

If ten companies bid for the no. 1 position in sponsored search or advertising of most kind, nine will be disappointed. If ten washing powder companies advertise, they are probably not going to sell much more powder between them, they are j

At any given time, you're probably happiest on the main branches of an evolutionary tree. Even when there were still plenty of Neanderthals, it must have sucked to be one. The Cro-Magnons would have been constantly coming over and beating

In that case, I don't understand. Why couldn't every shareholder with unwanted stock do this, less receiving money in exchange fore his/her voting rights? Put differently, if this is possible and legal, what keeps everyone else liable?

This is something that concerns a lot of people in the area. A lot of people want to solve this problem. There are all sorts of tools, but there is no equivalent of 'price' for philanthropy. No perfect solution. One example is the way that

Basecamp, sure. But I think the best example is a customer support ticketing system. This is pretty much an attempt to record email conversations in a structured way and be able to attach files to them.

No what I mean is that he sold the shares, these shares came with a liability. When he sold his shares to Thiess John Holland, why didn't the liabilities go with them?

I don't understand why he had any need for this anyway. If he sold the shares along with the associated liabilities, why would he have any liabilities at all in Australian Style Investments?

Care to be more specific? What happens normally that failed to happen here & why.

You're right. Something is off here. That seems like moving all the cash from one company to another and letting the first go bankrupt without the latter assuming liability. What stops this happening more often?

If the value a select few brought to a company was > $10m, and this was widely known, they would bid up the price. Of course employers don't have an incentive to pay above market rate, that's almost a tautology. That is what market rate

I suspect it's not just tax systems these 'Byzantine' products are designed around. It's also getting around the various regulations around who can invest in what, accredited investors, investment grades, etc.

I'm using Darwin to mean Evolution by Natural Selection. Perhaps Lamark. I honestly know very little about Lamark, but my understanding is that his theories didn't turn out to be very strong. Interestingly, even if they don't describe biol

Crappy is certainly a preconceived notion, but 'what does it actually do?' is valid criticism/complaint. Read over these comments. It seems to be pretty hard to explain clearly.

Can you share what specifically you were using sharepoint to to. (please don't say collaboration or sharing and leave it at that.)

There are a lot of comments on this thread by now and I don't think that anyone who doesn't already know the answer to this question can read this page and get it. Words like collaboration and sharing don't seem to be adding up to anything.

It's tricky placing yourself in the "loser with sociopathic tendencies" category. Most people see themselves this way. No one identifies with Michael. Everyone identifies with Jim.

That is true. The app store does have the distinction of being a market where users, even "consumers" exchange money for software. That is certainly a great feature. That doesn't mean that the market isn't characterised by many projectiles.

I agree that this can probably be just as effective while avoiding making claims that may not stand up in court (eg, "bogus forums," & "nothing but frauds") but avoiding naming firms and keeping it all high level and philosophical is no

That sounds good. I don't think the parent is arguing this is impossible. I think he/she just thinks the environment is not very conducive to a gradually increasing user base. I'm sure that isn't a rule, web services tend to be gradual grow

Interesting. Being unwilling or unavailable is probably a downside. But being unnecessary is a massive upside.

I get the feeling that we don't have the right vocabulary for thinking about iphone apps. They're a little more like albums or films then like software.

Out of curiosity, do you have a business model in mind for this? IE, if not for the Crusade (or Jihad), do you have a reason for running an alternative?
