  1. Re:Because.. on Apple Now Debt Free, Says Internal Memo · · Score: 0, Troll

    They didn't make a game console that doesn't make money

    If you're referring to MSFT, they have 10x as much cash on hand and no debt.

    I'm not sure of the significance here -- any finance prof worth his salt will tell you that there's no difference in how you finance your company (ie, debt, equity).

  2. Re:I wonder... on SonicBlue's Digital Audio Center · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fight back against what? Free registration?

    FYI: Yahoo gets paid for ads served when you look at the story on their site, too, just like the good old NYT.

  3. Manhattan math on This is IT? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    seems great for new yorkers commuting from upper west/east side down to wall st...manhattan is what, 7 or 8 miles long? you could do the r/t on one charge, or charge it up at work...cities will probably offer incentives so people will buy them, kind of like the transitcheck program in nyc...remember, the subway is like $50/month with metrocard, right? that's $600/year...so let's say the city offers you a $600 rebate, then you pay $2400 and recoup the cost in 4 years (plus you can use it to escape muggers in central park -- bonus!)...a 4 year loan on $2400 is around $50/month, which is what you would have paid for the subway anyway...hopefully it has a 5 year warranty!!

    don't know if I'd try it in wintertime, though, your face might freeze off at 12.5 mph -- unless you wore ski goggles or something...but in summertime it would be great with the breeze you make as you cut up park ave at 12.5mph...

    one question: how do you tell which is yours in the parking lot? not much room for personalization...maybe there's a business here...be the first to design custom segway wheelcovers, yes!!!

    and what about a headlight for those late night starbucks runs??

  4. A few thoughts... on Writers Who Will Stand the Test of Time? · · Score: 1

    I think at least a few of these authors have a shot at still being popular in 2051:

    Stephen Ambrose, Citizen Soldiers
    David Halberstam, The Reckoning; The Best & The Brightest
    Stephen King*, It; The Stand
    Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
    David McCullough, John Adams; Truman
    J.D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye
    *I'm assuming King is stashing away 1 novel for every 1 that is published, to be released posthumously.
