the F-18 was a competitor to the F-16 design back in the 70's we had black hawk's in the mid 1990's when i went to air assault school and they were at least 10 years old by that time as well
vmware is cheaper and easier to set up Citrix is a lot more expensive and a PITA to set up but a lot faster since Windows 7 and later has native citrix code in it for virtualization and a lot more customization
i will take working on weekends and flex work time. like if i need to work from home because one of my kids is sick and i don't want to spend $70 on a baby sitter. or i work from home one day a week so i can pick up a kid from public school and not spend the money on after school
last few years i worked from home 30-40 days out of the year because of sick kids. and wasn't charged one day vacation since i was actually working
so if something goes down on the weekend you just leave it down until work time and screw the customers? i'm sure they won't mind their paid services being down until lunch time on Monday
technically you are right, but amazon was selling ebooks at a loss. without apple and the feds they had to take the losses for a few years until B&N bit the dust and then jack up their prices.
apple might have broken the law, but they got amazon to actually innovate in the book selling biz
no, but you still have the editing costs and Amazon takes 20% or 30% commission for selling the book. along with the whispernet fees for any customers who download over 3g.
the printing/shipping costs were always around 10%. the selling costs are still there with amazon/apple taking the commission instead of B&N
those costs are tiny in the price of an ebook most of the cost of an ebook are in editing, making the cover art and marketing
EVERY book has to be professionally edited by multiple people. no matter how good or popular the author is. one editor checks for grammer, another for story flow. and there are one or two more kinds of editors but i don't remember the functions. figure $50 an hour or more for each one.
amazon has won ibooks is crap, and that's saying it as an ipad owner the ibook store is crap as well. pain in the a$$ to use no web book reader like the kindle amazon is cheaper and amazon has kindle singles and now you can write your own fan fiction
in the USA the $60 game costs them somewhere around $50 to buy from the publisher. with store expenses its a loss leader. in reality almost every retail store makes their profits on a small part of their inventory. almost everything else is a loss leader meant to get people into the store.
there is no way gamestop or anyone else can survive on new game sales. especially in the age of the internet and the ability to buy accessories cheaper online and get your game guide from youtube
the $50 used games at gamestop were bought for less than half that price which is why gamestop pushes used game sales
in the USA weather moves west to east most times rain in denver or elsewhere in the midwest means rain in NYC 2-3 days later

AT&T has done live tv streaming with no cable box for years. i've read verizon and time warner want to do the same thing instead of buying up new cable boxes.

back when we had the hd-dvd/blu ray batter i read that toshiba had most of the patents. in fact most of the patents between the two formats were exactly the same. toshiba just wanted to control the market

sony is one of the 300 or so companies in the blu ray consortium which gets the royalties. microsoft and apple are members as well
the tv guide and fantasy sports stats aren't preloaded, duh
everyone knows its going to let you shoot and kill people and monsters with lots of blood and gore in HD
the TV part is going to sell it to the wife and the ESPN features are the knife in sony's back
yeah, but did it shine like Valyrian steel?
