Yes, while I don't see it as something I would do, I can't find any fault with it. I'd guess it's probably just the cheapest price point for meat available to him. If he bought a pallet of horse meat from a butcher, it would seem far more

Yeah, but you have to remember that those names will affect the perception of similar names. The Wii, for example, being a monster hit is going to affect the way people perceive names.

Searching for "financial bailout" brings up links on the Russian bailout question years ago. Everything old is new again!

Looking at the bill, the number of bad cells seems far higher than you suggest. Some people didn't absolutely screw around but many did not finish the work. The percentage gets pretty bad in some of the high detail areas.

I decided, at the end of the day, that I liked efficiency more than I liked control. I really enjoy control and doing it myself, but I only have so many hours in a day. I should direct those hours to ends where I am either more productive

I'd say that Mozilla and Google doing it are effectually different. Yes, the end products are both open source and browsers. Practically, especially from the perspective of the business community, I think these are very different things.

In that sense, this might really be a third browser war. I think Google is pushing Chrome largely to support performance and standards. I think Google would like to make browsers into commodity pieces of software. Browsers might have diff

It'll be interesting to see how plug-ins play out. Google probably does not need to provide the most feature filled browser as a core offering. Providing a simple and highly robust browser is probably more ideal. Do less but be indispens

I agree. As an aside I am really beginning to question the length of copyright terms. This kind of derivative work is really interesting.

I respect what you are saying here, and I like to think that when confronted with a 33 ft (10 meter) high stack of 100 dollar bills I would react as you suggest. However, I suspect, looking at said stack, I would probably be seriously temp

At the heart of it, I think the "new release" is a market strategy rather than a consumer goal. Creators want consumers to believe that they should forget everything in light of the "latest and greatest". The creators' strategy is to atte

I'm sad to see this is a spoof. I've wanted this for the last few years. Now, when someone goes to pitch it they'll meet increased friction. I would have varied it up and had the ingredients fluctuate across franchise stores from time to

I've always wanted highway response crews to come equipped with unfoldable response screens. Something like a nice 20' screen which would block off the view of the accident from the opposing lane. I've always thought a considerable about

I think they'd pretty quickly find out that Arthur Andersen is effectively a defunct entity. I suppose it is an "in joke" like the "thousands of case studies" part of his question. You are correct that some time, though probably not too mu

Investors are supposed to watch out for and grow the money under their trust. If one of them considers that involves throwing in different questions to find out more about the people and/or product asking for his money, I don't see how tha
