A sales tax break for goods originating from US is, in all ways, a trade barrier. You can expect global mutual treatment. That means decreased foreign demand for US products. So you end up sponsoring US companies that were not capable to co

Unrelated, but why is calorie still used for food and not kilojoule? I kind of like the whole SI-unit comparison advantage, for geek values.

Not such a mystery. It stays the same, but dependencies continue to change and it does not participate in shaping them or being shaped by them.

I wonder if netbooks open up a business opportunity. To use the fact that the category is new and most software is not designed for the screensize, usage pattern or hardware. It is difficult though, since they are not that extremely differe

In my experience, that which kills "snappyness" for commercial sites is primary annoyingly slow industry standard ad- and traffic-tracking-systems, and secondary layout rendering issues due to complex css or silly number of images. (Lesson

I think you are correct, but your scenario is a good example of something else: Prototyping and "planning to throw one away" (Fred Brooks / The Mythical Man Month). Having written one lousy implementation in X months does not mean that the
