The latter is what they're doing. Macmillan previously sold ebooks wholesale to Amazon for $9.99, and Amazon chose to sell them with no markup to promote the Kindle platform. Macmillan demanded a move to "agency pricing", where Macmillan sets the price, and Macmillan and Amazon split the revenue according to a fixed percentage. It's not really about money per book for Macmillan---they'll get about the same $9.99 per book either way---but about control over pricing.

This is what Ellison said before he started his Red Hat clone (unbreakable linux, way before they bought sun):

"I'd like to have a complete stack," he said. "We're missing an operating system. You could argue that it makes a lot of sense for us to look at distributing and supporting Linux."

It seems logical that now that they have their own operative system, they will use it. On the other hand, it'd be stupid for them to fight Linux, since maaaany people use it for Oracle. They will probably support both.

Further reasons the administration might not like what China is doing right now are economic. China ties their currency exchange rate to the U.S. dollar in a way that keeps theirs low relative to ours. This essentially creates a permanent trade imbalance between the exporter (CHina) and the importers (U.S. mostly, also Europe). I hear people say all the time that China owns a huge portion of the U.S. debt and it would be a big disaster economically if they sold that debt. This is incorrect, if the Chinese sold their U.S. debt they'd be doing us a favor because it would depress the value of the dollar and make our manufacturing more competitive. In the past when unemployment has been rock-bottom in the U.S., this wouldn't help us much. Right now it would help our economy a lot to create manufacturing jobs because our unemployment is 10%. Paul Krugman quantified this by saying that China's exchange rate policy amounts to 1.4 million lost jobs in the U.S. The people at the federal reserve and the treasury know this. Ben Bernake himself has been quoted as saying chaiman-speak equivalent for the Chinese are playing with fire.

The conclusion here is that I suspect that if Clinton is mentioning this, the administration is planning on using this as leverage to get economic or other concessions out of the Chinese.

The decision to sideline Beijing is remarkable as China is the largest iron ore importer, accounting for more than 50 per cent of the seaborne market.

The miners have so far held no substantive negotiations with the Chinese side, led by Baosteel, the big state-owned steel mill, according to people familiar with the talks.

They added that there were no plans to travel to China for talks, meeting instead in Singapore.

One executive said: "As far as I am concerned, they [the Chinese negotiators] could come over to Australia if they want to talk."

There are some allegations making the rounds that Obama was played by the Chinese in Copenhagen. The mining case plus Google's actions makes me wonder if the West has decided that China has gotten too big for its britches and is being reminded that they are not a superpower yet and that they need to learn to be a little more cooperative with the rest of the world.

India, O.K. Eastern Europe? Stay out of Russia. Guy I know had his business taken over by the Russian Mob. There is no Rule of Law in either Russia or China.

Although they did also put it mainly on flat land. Some of our most promising city pairs with high traffic and strong local support for such a project are unfortunately in or separated by mountainous areas: LA-SF, Seattle-Portland, Atlanta-DC, etc.

From the FT article posted elsewhere in this discussion:

According to state media reports, the government spent $17bn (€12bn, £11bn) on the Harmony express line’s construction over 4½ years. Wuhan invested $2.4bn in a new French-designed train station, which boasts 20 tracks and 11 platforms. Officials this weekend declined to confirm project costs.

One reason for the enormous construction outlay for the Harmony express was difficult terrain, especially in the poor mountainous areas of Guangdong and Hunan provinces. The train travels along 713km of elevated tracks and tunnels, accounting for about 70 per cent of its length.

So you're argument may not really hold water. I think the big reason for this not happening in the US, is capital costs, the lobbying efforts of airline and other affected industries and NIMBY mentality.

Here's a better version of the story. This is a big deal. They're running 56 trains a day on that route. They're also the longest high speed trains running. So this is a high-volume people mover. Plans call for another 11,000 Km of high speed rail by 2012. That's only two years away.

Some of this is a consequence of the financial troubles and low interest rates in the US. The government of China had been putting excess cash into U.S. Treasury bills, but about a year ago they stopped buying more US debt and started spending on infrastructure and resources. China has been buying up mines and farms around the world to secure supplies of raw materials and food, while beefing up their infrastructure at home.

No, not a good idea. What is the point in having a Cultural Revolution? Better to just split these companies which are too big to fail into smaller chunks, kick out the top management making sure they never work in that capacity anymore, enforce layers of separation between businesses and let them free. Restore the Glass–Steagall Act and separate commercial banking from investment banking.

That fits with my idea that the standard politician idea of going after bankers' salaries and bonuses is moronic. The crux of the problem is how fat the BANKS get, not how they pay bigwigs.

One more comment: all governments seem bent on getting aid money back from the banking system ASAP, and the Herds are mooing that that's a good thing; but if you consider that the regulations of the banking system is more or less what it was when Lehman went under, central bankers included, I see it more as a "blank check " for keeping regulation lax ( or stupid, witness Basel II ); It would be very difficult for governments to press for reenacting the Glass- Steagall act, which would permanently erase excess profits at realities like Goldman Sachs, all the while asking the same companies to make those excess profits in order to repay the Government.

As a side note: banks are already paying back nice chunks of TARP money, and the gummint might actually get back more than they originally gave them.

Last I checked Yahoo was THE #1 Web Mail provider in the USA, and many Asian countries Yahoo Mail is also #1 or a close #2.

The geek's notions of "relevance" are not always to be trusted:

Yahoo and Facebook have struck a deal that will allow people to log into Yahoo's vast stable of sites using their Facebook credentials. Already there is an overlap between the two sites' audiences.
52 per cent of Yahoo visitors are also visiting Facebook, while 84 per cent of Facebook users also visit Yahoo sites.
Yahoo still maintains one of the most popular collections of sites on the web. These include the photo sharing site Flickr, the careers site HotJobs and its self-branded sports and finance pages.Yahoo strikes deal with Facebook's Connect service

But the endgame of Internet marketing is converting browsers to buyers. Next Jump says that for every 11 people who see one of its ads, one person makes a purchase. In Web commerce generally, 1,000 to 1 is deemed a good performance. Until recently, the Next Jump e-commerce engine was entirely unbranded, working unseen underneath corporate intranets or retailer's rewards Web sites. "We were all white label," Mr. Kim said. "Nobody knew who we were."
But that is starting to change. The Yahoo Deals shopping area now has a Personal Offers site, whose logo says "Powered by Next Jump" -- co-branding similar to the Intel Inside campaign of the big chip maker. The Data That Turns Browsing to Buying

"I'm pretty sure that Murdoch will hate M$ for this step. No, I'm serious"

'The impetus for the discussions came from News Corp, owner of newspapers ranging from the Wall Street Journal of the US to The Sun of the UK, said a person familiar with the situation, who warned that talks were at an early stage'

'However, the Financial Times has learnt that Microsoft has also approached other big online publishers to persuade them to remove their sites from Google's search engine'

I did find a claim where EDF promised to build 4 nuclear plants in the UK without any taxpayer money (which sounded like it's unusual)

It's unusual in the UK, who's first generation plants (Magnox) were designed to provide plutonium for the armed forces and who's second generation plants (AGR) were over-engineered to near uselessness and who only got one fourth generation plant (Sizewell B PWR) built due to NIMBY.

and another article where they said they'd never build nuclear plants in the UK unless they'd be subsidized.

Actually EDF didn't ask for subsidies, what they said was:

Mr de Rivaz [EDF UK CEO] suggested that the best way to support the nuclear industry would be to make sure penalties paid by rival fossil fuel power generators under the European Union's emissions trading scheme were kept high enough to make nuclear investment attractive.

[...]

EDF is also concerned that the additional incentives for renewables will lead to so much wind capacity being built that nuclear power stations will have to be shut down at times of high wind power output, jeopardising the economics of new reactors.

They're worried that the carbon credits are being priced too low (as others are, including Greanpeace) and that wind is getting too high a subsidy.

CIO has a pictorial representation of the past six decades of research and development in encryption technology.

And every, single, image in that slide show is ripped directly from Wikipedia. In fact, the entire presentation is little more that a digest of someones Wikitrip.

As Paul Graham(I think) said, "Pay to view content on the internet may as well not exist". Given that information not on the internet is becoming increasingly obsolete, this maxim can be extended to the conclusion that; the only content that will matter is that which is freely available online. People such as journalists or even reviewing researchers are not going to go to the hassle of chasing down sources closeted in dusty libraries or the like, when low hanging fruit such as Wikipedia pages are so easily accessible.

There was a story a few weeks ago about how a copyright black hole is swallowing our culture. Well, it's swallowing more than that. It's swallowing cold hard facts, data, progress and information too. Compound this easily accessible and digestible, though lower quality, alternatives available online at places like Wikipedia, and you are seeing the beginning of a major shift in how our society comes by its information and the truth itself.

For over 5 months Wikipedia had an incorrect start date for World War 2. In the new information regime that is emerging, for a great many (mostly younger) people, for those 5 months, that became the start date for World War 2. The (old) correct date was cloistered away in libraries and pay per view papers or books. The new date was the first hit on a Google search. Which is more likely to become the dominant interpretation?

We have seen it time and again. Cheaper and easier will win out over expensive and difficult. The same is now happening for information. This doesn't necessarily mean that cheap and easy has to be worse, but in the case of finding cold hard facts online, it is. There is no quality control on the internet hive mind. The online or Wikipedia version of the truth is becoming the dominant one, and with the black hole swallowing all the hard facts, how will we ever find the real truth again?

Orwell was right about the outcome, but wrong about the method. You don't need to hide the truth. You just need to make the alternatives easier to find.

I can read Murdoch's newspapers free online

You can at the moment but Murdoch senior has announced that he intends to charge for all his online news sites. Murdoch junior realises that this strategy will only be successful if other news sources follow along. This plainly won't happen with the BBC so their unwelcome completion needs to be eliminated by political means.

Yes, it's all down to tax havens. All the biggest problems in the current crisis are down to those damnable tax havens and hedge funds etc. Like the following, all HQ'ed and "regulated" in well known tax havens:

Institutions in developed countries were directly responsible for the crisis but Tax havens payed a very important role in hiding transactions.

Except that the op-ed link you provides no particular argument for how it particularly links to the crisis. The author is against tax havens on general principles, and believes banks make too much use of them, but doesn't really explain what they particularly have to do with the current problems. The main transactions involved are things like poor underwriting of mortgages (onshore) and packaging of those mortgages into complex opaque securities. The packaging into CDO/ABS etc sometimes involved an offshore fund for tax reasons but what they were basically doing was in no way concealed or secretive, not like hedge funds. It's not that subprime mortgages were sneaked into these things by some shady character - it is that the modelling and risk assumptions were way off.

Swiss bankers or lawyers in the Cayman Islands are just fine with you calling them up and asking them to transfer funds to your friend "Omar" in Tashkent with no explanation or supporting documents

Yes, they are. That's their job. That's what the fiscal havens are for. And not only Omar, you can also transfer a few millions to your friend Pablo in Colombia, or to your friend Alphonse in Congo.

Don't be naive. The underground economy worldwide moves billions every year. Where do you think the money financing drug, weapons, etc. comes from? Do the criminals/warlords/terrorists pull it from their asses? No, it comes from the legal economy, through fiscal havens.

No they aren't. This is just a blanket assertion that bears more relation to John Grisham thrillers than it does to reality. If it were just a matter of banning money transfers to places with poor money-laundering controls it would have been easily fixed years ago. The problem is that most of the tax havens DO have money laundering rules in place, and in many cases did so before some of the big jurisdictions. If you want to set up an anonymous company, do so in Delaware - all you need is a valid credit card and a postal address in the state. Try getting away with that anywhere else and watch as the US Federal government goes berserk and puts the country on the FATF blacklist. Oh but I forgot - the Vice President is from that state so the chances of a bill to get Delaware to have proper money-laundering controls is remote (and would probably be challenged on "States rights" grounds).

Money laundering involves onshore businesses to turn cash into bank balances (typically business such as antiques, where profits are arbitrary, or cash-handling businesses like restaurants etc). Money laundering also involves the criminal wanting to spend the bank balances, usually onshore. Throwing an offshore location into the scheme will just bring more scrutiny when you are making unusual offshore transfers. Often it would not even theoretically be a good idea. I'm not saying that nobody has ever used an offshore bank to make illegal payments, that would be ridiculous. The idea that it is easy, or that nobody cares what you do with an offshore bank account is not true and diverts attention from onshore money laundering.

Many large countries have thousands of pages of complex, overlapping tax law, and when you have more than one country in the mix the result is even less likely to be consistent. Most tax haven activity involves finding contradictions in the laws and using them until one or other law in changed. The way to cut back on tax haven activity would be to make the laws simpler, not add more pages of regulations.

You could google it, but here it goes.

Yes, it's all down to tax havens. All the biggest problems in the current crisis are down to those damnable tax havens and hedge funds etc. Like the following, all HQ'ed and "regulated" in well known tax havens:

Institutions in developed countries were directly responsible for the crisis but Tax havens payed a very important role in hiding transactions.

Yes, if only those damn tax havens listed above were banned from doing business, the financial crisis would not have happened. If only banks were forced to be in "well regulated" onshore locations where there is accountability, there would be no recession

Now, that's just silly. When did exactly I said such?

And as we all know, bankers, lawyers and their associates in major cities are all highly ethical people

They're all greedy heartless bloodsucking motherfuckers but there is still some supervision and vigilance in regulated markets that prevents them to directly finance criminal activities. Of course, with the massive deregulation that took place in the latest years, accountability and responsibility are not in great shape.

Swiss bankers or lawyers in the Cayman Islands are just fine with you calling them up and asking them to transfer funds to your friend "Omar" in Tashkent with no explanation or supporting documents

Yeah .. about that;

Only days after clashing with Hillary Clinton, US secretary of state, over carbon emissions curbs, India's environment minister has accused the developed world of needlessly raising alarm over melting Himalayan glaciers.

Jairam Ramesh has disputed the science behind claims that climate change is rapidly melting Himalayan glaciers, saying there is no evidence to support what he claimed were misleading scenarios painted by the west.

[---]

Mr Ramesh said that the rate of retreat of glaciers in the Himalayas varied from a "couple of centimetres a year to a couple of metres", but that this was a natural process. Some were, in fact, growing, he said.

But hey - what do they know, right?

Environmentally nuclear is vastly better than all the other serious energy sources.

Prove it.

Now that I asked fro proof I'll provide my own evidence which supports my position as well as contradicts yours. "Report: Wind the Best Energy; Nuclear, Coal and Ethanol the Worst". "For Cheap Clean Energy, Go Geothermal, Study Says". "Oregon Geothermal Energy = Baseload Energy".

Wind and solar are not serious energy sources as is hinted by how much subsidies they need

By that criteria nuclear power is not a serious energy source because it needs massive subsidies. Not only does it need guarantied loans but it also needs it's liability limited and government disposal of it's waste. All alternative energy sources put together including geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, even biofuels only get a fraction of the subsidies nuclear power gets. "While renewable energy may require subsidies for the immediate future, nuclear power needs subsidies forever." From the Financial Times:

"'But those hoping for handouts would be disappointed. The "incentives" for nuclear and carbon capture and storage are only there to "help a nascent sector grow', he said."

"We are not going to achieve a competitive [nuclear] sector by handing out subsidies... we are not in the business of giving out subsidies. We are in the business of maintaining a level playing field."

"It's telling that the 'level playing field' the industry wants and the one the government wants bear little resemblance to each other."

Something is still going to need to provide the power to run the aluminium foundries and nuclear is the cleanest, safest long term solution for that.

Neither you nor anyone else has proven that nuclear power is clean yet I have provided evidence solar and wind are clean. Such as 2 of the links I provide above. Studies linked to say both wind and geothermal and cheaper and cleaner than nuclear. Now will you provide links to evidence says nuclear is cleaner?

Lets run through the check lists.

I provide evidence that this list is wrong, where is yours saying you're right? And for one on that list, "Wind is nice but it's unpredictable and bigger wind farms kill migrating birds", buildings cats, and cars kill more birds than turbines.

Try again.

Together they can never provide more than 20% of the grids needs simply for stability reasons. This is pretty much a hard cap, once you get more than that from unpredictable sources rolling blackouts start to become a real problem.

So you know more about solar power than the writers of the SciAm article "A Solar Grand Plan", and know more about wind power than the writers of a new study in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Science" as well as those who created the Wind Energy Resource Atlas of the United States at the National Renewable Energy Lab? What is your degree in and where did you get it so that you're smarter than they are? The SciAm article says that by 2050 solar energy can provide 69% of the US's electrical needs. The National Acad

Because we're not talking about DC transmission...[DC] transmission is actually much cheaper/more efficient than AC for long hauls.

Doesn't change the fact that it's still absurdly expensive. Yet again, much better to put that money into nuclear.

Whether energy comes from coal, nuclear power, solar, or wind those transmission lines still have to do upgraded. If you're going to add the cost of doing so to wind you have to add it to nuclear as well. It's absolutely absurd you count the cost against wind but not nuclear power.

As usual, the hip-and-green crowd gets modded up without proving a thing.

As usual, nuclear power proponents don't prove a thing either. Now I will say something about nuclear power, and provide links to back it up. Nuclear power is not profitable, it is "Hooked on Subsidies". Not even in China, France, India, or Russia is it cost effective:
"How do France (and India, China and Russia) build cost-effective nuclear power plants? They don't. Governmental officials in those countries, not private investors, decide what is built. Nuclear power appeals to state planners, not market actors."
Meanwhile cost overruns are high and "it would be cheaper for the U.S. to instead focus on energy efficiency and alternative sources such as wind and solar."

Teenagers never use real directories (hard copy catalogues
such as yellow pages). This is because real directories contain
listings for builders and florists, which are services that
teenagers do not require. They also do not use services such
as 118 118 because it is quite expensive and they can get the
information for free on the internet, simply by typing it into
Google.

Argument granted, but McDonald's can compete on price with any Italian restaurant and Starbucks can't compete on price with Italian bars.

However there are customers willing to pay for their products here in Italy and there are several customers groups advocating for SB stores in Italy (google for starbucks italia, maybe select pages in Italian language). On the other side I also have to point out this article of Financial Times of 2007, with a statement of Howard Schultz about not opening stores in Italy and to this analysis. The following discussion is interesting as it presents the differing views of Italian people on the subject intertwined with comments of people from other countries.

Furthermore Italy's Autogrill is the licensee of the Starbucks brand for Italy at least since 2007 (and many others). However Autogrill has its own coffee shops so my suspect is that it's paying the license to keep a competitor out of the country.

However, designed with the threat of a much more lethal H5N1 bird flu pandemic in mind, the present alert system reflects only the spread of the disease and not its virulence.

FT

They are basically admitting that they are selectively enforcing their definition of a pandemic. Every year a flu virus spreads to many parts of the globe and kills as many if not more people but they don't raise or use pandemic levels.

This appears to be a beta test meant to see how their systems of control work throughtout each country for when a serious pandemic is released.

Some of the same things can be said of the New York Times.

Some perhaps, but not many. The venerable grey lady is a pale shadow of her former self and doesn't really hold a candle to the WSJ which is a much meatier paper with much more information value for the money.

No, something else besides level of technicality needs to explain why people are willing to pay for the WSJ.

The Wall Street journal has good original articles on many non-technical and even non financial subjects (their political opinion page, for example, is often witty and insightful). In fact, I would argue that if one were interested in a strictly technical paper then there are even better (and more terse) papers out there that basically cater only to the financial services industry, The Financial Times for example. Also, the audience of the WSJ tends to be upper middle class and higher income which means that they have money to spend and like spending it on fine living so the WSJ attracts more and better high-end advertisers who will pay premiums for access to that upper-crust audience.

Here's a possibility: as another reader pointed out, you are allowed to access WSJ's premium content if you have been referred from another site.

This has been tried before so its not a new idea. The folks at Salon once tried "24 hour day passes" if users would view an ad from one of their advertising sponsers. This was back when Salon was trying to position itself as an "ultra-premium" online magazine that was "paying members only". They no longer do this, so it must not have been too successful.

None of those articles talk seriously about the Labour party splitting in two, only some MPs defecting. I doubt much will come of it though, as defecting to the Lib Dems is basically ensuring you have no place in the next or any government in the foreseeable future. Ashdown's speculation is just that.

You are correct that none of the articles provide any evidence that Labour will fragment into separate factions, I simply wanted to point out that the suggestion originated in the broadsheets. It is possible that some Labour MP's will defect to the Liberals if Labour lose at the next general election. Labour defections have happened in the past.

This is classic newspaper tactics. The Mail is by far the worst for it. Every edition has reader's letters starting "If the government does such-and-such..." when the government has no plans to do such-and-such, and has often never even hinted at even considering such-and-such.

Indeed. With Gordon Brown appearing to be both unpopular and ineffective this is behaviour that all the UK newspapers are indulging in, not just the Daily Mail. I will concede that the Mail is one of the worst at this and should not be considered a quality news source.

More hyperbole. Before the credit crunch spending was fairly low compared to other nations, and now it's being done to lessen the effects of the recession by stimulating the economy with cash injections (e.g. car scappage scheme) and government projects (building contracts etc). Of course a lot went to prop up the banks, but people talk about that as if it was a free hand-out. We own those banks now and it's hard to imagine a situation so catastrophic that we wouldn't get out investment back with interest at some point in the medium term.

Hyperbole, really?. I think I was being quite restrained. Comparing UK government spending levels to other nations is not useful. Others have different population levels, GDP and citizen expectations. What is useful is comparing spending to GDP, the good old fashioned can we afford it metric. Why not take a look at the ever amusing (and full of hyperbole) Buring our Money blog. The articles in the debt category should convey a sense of the debt disaster Labours spending has built up with far more eloquence than I have time for here. In case you were wondering where it all goes here is the handy Guardian (PDF) chart of government spending.

The government could have handled the bank bailouts considerably better. I really liked the good bank idea I read about in the FT. This idea would have left the UK with a much smaller debt problem and several profitable banks to sell off in a few years time.

If you think that's "like a drunken sailor" you clearly have no understanding of even basic economics. I'll spell it out for you: in a recession the problem is people stop spending, so work dries up and businesses find it hard to get loans or credit (and they all rely on that). The only way you can lessen the effect is to put money into the economy by spending and making sure banks still offer loans.

We are going to have to disagree here, the fastest way back to a healthy economy is to cut tax, regulation and the public sector. The government is now starting to find it difficult to open new lines of credit. We may be close to the time when there are no buyers of government debt. If this happens expect the government to have to go cap in hand to the IMF. It is unlikely that Alistair Darlings spend our way out of the recession plan is going to be an option.

The best

But we just might want them telling drug companies that, yes, they do actually have to test for safety and efficacy before they start selling the stuff...

The private sector has the virtue of (mostly) being extremely responsive to competitive incentives. This is good when those incentives drive development. This is bad when those incentives drive obfuscation, misdirection, and the burial of inconvenient data. Consider the twisted tale of the "Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine" an entire sham scientific journal printed to order by Elsevier, for Merck.

I'm sorry, you were saying?
