  2. >>You come in, you take some things and put them into your bag, and you walk out.
    Works for me.
    Then some cashiers with strange uniforms and weapons come and put you down on the floor before taking you to the nearest prison.

  3. >>Microsoft is Working on Technology That Would Eliminate Cashiers and Checkout Lines From Stores, Says Report
    Yeah. The report doesn't say it also eliminates customers from the stores.
    Perhaps they try to sell windows phones, and transform the surrounding of these stores into a Ghosttown.

    >> does anyone still have a problem with them?
    Yes.
    Some devices are thunderbolt compatible
    Some cables are thunderbolt compatible
    All those do not fall back to USB when the other end does not talk thunderbolt.
    So in the end, it works only 50% of the time.

    Nokia raised Microsoft up to be the world leader in phones... for a few months, before being extinguished.
    Also, this extinction was partly due to Skype.

    The german manufacturers don't have the structure to keep up with Tesla at this point.
    Tesla uses vertical integration to cut the costs of the middleman(the auto suppliers and the dealer network in this case). They produce a lot of key subassemblies themselves, where other's subcontract to various levels.
    Traditionnal car OEMs can't do the vertical integration today.
