I am not just talking about the financials, the reputation in the developer community suffered a lot. It is somewhat arrogant what they do, telling their customers what is better for them like the mousewheel in tiger. Steve Jobs always had

I hope this guy is more humble, Apples Achilles' heel is it's arrogance. It was somewhat accepted because is was Steve Jobs doing. Another CEO will never have this bonus and if he proceeds with this attitude then it will hurt the brand.

Here on USA Gold, a gold seller (now it makes sese) is a part of this text quoted. http://www.usagold.com/amk/usagoldmarketupdate042307.html This seems not very trustworthy and should animate people for an impulsive gold shopping spree.

This downvote == disagreeing is so annoying, this prevents discussions. It is one thing when someone gives an upvote for agreeing but downvotes are for insulting and off topic posts.

I the people lose trust in a country the currency goes down exactly because of this. This can also be a good thing, for example when the economy is not competitive and the government has always enough money to provide the basic needs. Not c

When you don't believe in currency there are unlimited ways to invest your money somewhere else, when you don't believe in corporations there are much more conservative alternatives like farm land. In my opinion oil is a better investment t

A real currency is widely accepted, gold is not. Gold is very unhandy, the article is about one example why.

Good points. This could be a bad signal, gold is very handy when you need to get out of a country in political change. Didn't had the Wife of the Tunisian Dictator a ton of gold?

You can't eat gold, all this rant on gold is so stupid, the monetary value is merely historical. In modern economy only counts the real application of resources and nothing else. Nobody will ever introduce a new Gold standard, a resource is

You are right, it gets suspiciously much these days. In Germany, some days ago, came out that Microsoft paid for an Anti-Google article in a Newspaper. I can search for a link (in German) if somebody wants proof.

Does make sense when you compare the numbers, Android is bigger than the iPhone now. Doesn't tell the whole story but is a valid argument.

Microsoft attacked Android Phone producers, Google needs to defend them "against" Microsoft. A bidding with Microsoft wouldn't make sense at all.
