Half a decade is being conservative. The foundation is a way to control wealth under a tax-free structure. It is a strategic move to establish his long-term glory past the grave. Great really, because you have people who will now defend him for locking down his wealth in a tax-free trust.
Fucking Ballmer needs to go, and someone need to be hired that will revamp the entire culture (i.e. un-silo'ing the various divisions). The true dysfunction is that there are no large investors who care enough or know enough to demand this.
Late to the party? You mean when all the girls are drunk and the fights are about to start? I would say they missed the party. I don't mind being late.
YES, this! If you shirk chances to meet people and try to end conversations as soon as possible you can pretty much forget running a company. Mindless chatter and bullshitting with the right people, lots of people, can lead to all kinds of unforeseen opportunity.
People don't obsess, they just see you and a perception automatically floods their mind. Where I work there are people who show up in shorts and gym shoes. That's cool and all but they are also on the verge of getting fired and although this dress-code is not disallowed it matters to the people who want them fired. Obviously there are other matters affecting the discontent, but the attire, as the above post mentioned, is not helping matters at all.
You got it backwards. You wear nice shit to keep people uncomfortable. It is a form of intimidation, and believe it or not automatically gains you respect and power. I've been at my place of work for a year and I've been invited to consult VP's and my co-workers seek my favor....in contrast there are people who have been there for many years and no one knows who they are. Why, because they dress like shit which is indicative, with great accuracy, of their ability (ability is reflected in their dress, but remember that the opposite is true to others) and status. When I showed up, my co-workers' dress became a matter of contention because there was finally an example with which the boss could mark a standard. Some people shaped up and obviously started dressing better without being asked and others got bitched out. Except the ridicule at that point did not end with their dress but extended to other more personal things such as general professional development. Dress does matter.
Everyone is really much too hard on corporations for exploiting data. We'll see what YOU do when you end up with troves of data at your disposal. Data is equal to power, which is quite obvious when you start to collect it and realize the power it gives you. Once you have the data you never want to let go of it and the possibilities nag at you. There is not a single one of you who would throw away valuable data, not a single one of you.
Zuck doesn't run shit. I thought he was a dynamic confident person until I saw him in an interview. It is unbelievable that the Wall Street goons let him remain as CEO when they forced Page to step aside as CEO because he had never run a international company. Not hatin' on Zuck, it is just that he doesn't radiate "leader." The fact that Facebook doesn't have a payment system to effortlessly transfer money between members (therefore smashing Paypal's stinky ass) is a sure sign of dysfunction. If I was an investor I would be bombing them with letters wondering where the integrated payment system is.
If anyone really gave a shit they would just let the other political party take full credit for the idea and legislative implementation. Get it done. The greatest infrastructure planner/implementer ever used to say, "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you are willing to let someone else take the credit."
Print it. It is called stimulus. We need to bury all of our lines AND run fiber that is owned by the public. If we do not engage in physical infrastructure (data and roads/energy) soon it doesn't matter if you fix education, the job market or international trade. If we do not have the medium with which to facilitate economic activity it will be like taking the wheels off of a bus.
That is about all the value you will get out of this button. I can't think of any marketing professional who would give two shakes about this metric. It is worthless data. I however, have wanted a want button for comedic purposes for some time, and that is what it will be used for. That, and Magic Mike.
There are a shit-ton of dead accounts on both Yahoo and HotMail. Gmail has been then defacto go-to mail solution for some time. Just about every user that contacts me uses a gmail account. Rarely see anything else.
Yeah, and they're main inspiration for building the damn things had to RIM's Blackberry. That thing always felt cheap and archaic to me, never really wanted one. In fact, when the iPhone came out I didn't even pay attention. Like a dog walking past a concrete block. When Android hit I got really excited. Not because of Google, or Linux, but because everyone was going to have control over their fucking phones finally (as opposed to being stuck with the carrier's pre-installed garbage). I was taken aback that Verizon was selling them because it let the consumer install their own apps. Android smart-phones are what has really made this genre popular. In my mind it is indistinguishable which came first, the iPhone or the Android clones, and it doesn't matter anymore.
As usual Roman your comment carries a tinge of error. You have to invest in infrastructure first, regardless of cost, to propel economic activity. It is a well known fact that America's past prosperity was made possible by a superior infrastructure. The faster and easier and cheaper it is to transport goods, the more (exponentially more) activity will arise under those conditions. The same can be said of data as well. The more people can access high speed internet for little money, the more it will spur online economic activity and OPPORTUNITY.
Afghanistan is an easy one. There have been plans for a pipeline through the region where we are fighting (Pakistan / Borderlands) for several decades now. A lot of powerful people want that pipeline for several reasons. And they are going to get it.
I've had the idea in mind for years that we need to bury every single electrical line in this country to create jobs for stimulus and to ensure service during severe climate disruptions. In my area (South-West Ohio) we had winds, little rain for ehh....10 minutes. Clobbered the hell out of us, and then it was gone. I was down for over twelve hours and many will not get power until Monday at midnight. While burying these lines we can run additional fiber owned by the people and covering the last mile. It would be sweet payback to the assholes who pocketed billions of dollars in subsidies and failed to improve their networks in the nineties. Plus there would be a shit-ton of those stinky wooden poles left over and a lot of steel cable for other projects. impractical? We can do anything we really want to do.
Stallman....is that you? I've been trying to digest this philosophy for years and I still can't seem to make it work in my mind. Everything can't be free you freakin troglodyte. Although the proliferation of free web servers and scripting languages has spurred an entire economy, so what do I know. On one end of the spectrum, programming languages can't exist without being free and open, and on the other end ERP software can't exist without being paid for. Please don't link to open-source ERP software...I know.

Yeah, and it's only $499 a month!
That's it! Lets fork this shit!
WHAT THE FUCK is iGoogle! I thought I was a serious Google hipster until I heard of this and realized I didn't know what it was! WTF?!
We have those kind of people here on slashdot. I don't get the no-scripters either. Maybe it's a good idea for grandma and here XP machine.
of course.....now we turn to Google bashing.

So you're saying this is a "buy?" How many shares are you buying?
YES, this! If you shirk chances to meet people and try to end conversations as soon as possible you can pretty much forget running a company. Mindless chatter and bullshitting with the right people, lots of people, can lead to all kinds of unforeseen opportunity.
Only meatheads obsess over what people wear.

Uh...they can probably expect more of this:
