Got one about a month ago. Liking it so far. Really disappointed that there's only 8GB RAM. My previous ThinkPad is probably close to a decade old now so I don't really have a great comparison point as far as keyboard revisions

Bloomberg's Open API is not on there and I think pretty much the only thing keeping me on 2.7. Don't know the ecosystem as well as others but imagine there will be more enthusiasm for 3.x in finance once that's done.

Really don't see an ala carte solution being worth it for most firms unless they're really trying to cut down on cost. Integrating and maintaining separate services alone is going to require additional developers. Cost associate

Depending on what they trade, traders aren't going to be using anything else because of the messaging on Bloomberg. There are a lot of services popping up solely as a replacement for the messaging service due to that Bloomberg reporte

I realize what Lynda courses are like and have done some in the past which is why I mentioned the "learn how to do x" concept in my post. Other non-traditional MOOC services offered by non-college institutions have a lot of progr

No idea on valuations on this but seems kinda crazy to pay so much when all of the various free MOOC offerings seem to be getting better and better. Realize there's a difference motivation-wise when you actually have to pay and that &
