Isn't this deal similar to Dell going private? I can certainly imagine how it might not end well for a company that gets taken private, but I also think that trying to innovate and grow in such a competitive environment would be even h

So is this why I have weird problems fast-forwarding through some NPR podcasts? I'll find myself at the end of the podcast (as indicated by the time bar), but the podcast itself is still playing. Man, Apple really is neglecting podcast

Yeah, desalination also occurs in Arab countries in the gulf that have tons of money to throw at it. Palestinians could establish some of this infrastructure if they had a shot. But it would get bombed if it was built after not too long, li
