the meaning of the word 'majority' can change in relation to its measure -
in this case: if you are measuring against the percentage of [global] sales there is not a majority leader (as previously said Nokia is closes with ~44%)
if you are measuring relative to the other phone manufacturers then Nokia does have the majority of their market
yes, this is a silly logic game to turn the meaning of 'majority' into the 'most' - but i believe it is logically sound YMMV
its not a catch-22, you just need a dev environment. now that might be difficult in some [most] situations, but if you work for the firm in question they will probably have one. if you dont, well maybe you can research their setup enough to create one (good luck)
for where i work [in IT], it would not be difficult to do that research - but i work in the public sector and our internals are well, public
I believe their goal was to make their name well known (a.k.a. brand recognition). they did this by any means necessary and it worked. ask anyone (who does not work in the field) to name an website hosting / registration company and it is likely to be GoDaddy.
Ask for a second one and I would be very surprised if you can get a response.
Brand positioning on the other hand; well it leaves much to be desired (all sorts of puns intended)
there's a word for that: logoerrea - literally translated from Greek: diarrhea of the logic (logos). the psychological disorder makes sense too

Can't avoid the reality that emitting light consumes power.
Thats true - but why must it emit light? - using reflective technology you can achieve significantly less power needs. as well as being able to read in sun light - it is also the most natural way of looking at anything (not just video screens)
Case in point: the gameboy --its Display spec was : "Reflective LCD 160 × 144 pixels"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy#Technical_specifications
of course - it would be best to have back lighting for when you are in the dark too
well, we now have the idea of an unbreakable phone in our head.
& we probably think of it as something that is difficult to achieve and mostly likely attribute value to the product.
The government is not for profit. Google is completely for profit.
Governments are FOR-profit organizations. Its just that they arent trying to profit from it's citizens (that would be like eating yourself). The semantics get funny because governments print money but in the true sense or the word they certainly do.
Remove the top 1000 sites from Google, and another top 1000 will replace them.
im sorry but thats not the most thought out statement i've heard today. if you remove the top 1000 sites from Google then, yes, inherently you will have a new top 1000. the point of what Mark Cuban is trying to do, is remove the quality from Google.
Say for example, they remove ebay, amazon, and craigslist. Now using google, you'll never get a search result from those three websites.
So now when you search for used electronics, used books, or used flesh you'll get crappy websites that dont have the network economies, economies of scale, trust, etc. etc. etc.
its not like the top 1000 cease existing, its just that you cant use google to get to them. which makes google...worthless (and that the point)
Correct, just like a spiders web strand is stronger for its size than steel. I predict we will be building skyscrapers out of spider web about the same time as this new technology matures.

the answer to:" I wonder why that isn't done" is always because you haven't done it. please don't victimize yourself anymore - life will be much more fulfilling. (sorry that's not supposed to sound patronizing, but, alas, it does)

awesome analogy!
It's not so much "haves and have nots" but "I have and you can't have" that's the problem.
You're being unfair. No one (or nearly no one) is saying "you can't have", they're saying "this is mine, get your own".
the problem comes in when people say 'this is mine' and it actually is not theirs, rather it is oil in a country on the other side of the planet.

yes, but IMHO Windows2k was the best OS microsoft has made to date. man i loved that OS.
a part of me thinks they pulled it because they knew it wasnt going to outdate itself and they couldnt get the premium it.
you mean like this?
