"A weaker currency 'makes them more competitive and reduces the burden of debt," - makes them more competitive? It makes the pricing lower but not more competitive. China and any other country that is racing to the bottom is playing a losin

That's a good way, IMO. I think a lot of non-tech co-founders should look more at outsourcing the development. When even Jrs at good computer schools already have jobs with the big guys, either a tech co-founder really gets your vision and

I totally agree. As a non-tech co-founder it is up to me to sell value to the prospective tech co-founder, investor and eventually to the customer. If I can't do that then why work with me. That's my main function. All that being said, I th

I still can't understand how to use the iPad. It doesn't do what my Mac Book can and I can do what it does on my iPhone. For eBooks I have my Kindle which is much better to read on. The only use I've seen so far that it excels in is in use

Why should anyone have to imagine? Why should they have to pay for a whole album when only one song is worth paying for? That's the problem with Bon Jovi, most albums weren't worth crap and he wants us to pay for crap. That's stupid.

The only problem here is that entrepreneurs are humans and as such they tend to swing for the fences. I know I do. Its the come big or go home mentality. Its the American way. Whatever you want to call it, its in our genes to do it that way

Keep on going California and soon there will not be anyone left. This goes on all the time. Why do you think Amazon and Microsoft moved their server farms to Idaho? Eventually they will all move out of the US there will be no where that wil

No its not. Right now our corporate tax rate is 2nd only to Japan. What is happening is corporate flight from the US. I get emails every day proclaiming the low tax rates of Costa Rica and Panama. Heck even the UK's rate is almost half the

When I first read about Zediva and how they planned to work it, I laughed. Are they going to have tons of people going around changing dvd machines. I pictured a huge warehouse with people running around putting dvds in machines.

Look Content is still king, Netflix needs to have content no one else has. This is the only way. I can see them offering exclusive agreements to content providers that would be more lucrative than non-exclusive. Their competitors like Amazo

What a place to be in. I would suggest you look outside of the Western World namely Central and South America. I'm a commercial broker and that's where I'm putting my money.
