A minimum wage doesn't destroy prosperity but it doesn't create it either. A minimum wage simply raises the price of all goods and services, nullifying its intended benefit [of raising the living standards of the lower to lower-middle class]. Think someone working for minimum wage can afford property in Sydney? Ever compared the cost of goods and services there to the USA? Or compared the prices of US cities with a high minimum wage, such as San Francisco? (even before the tech boom).
Pay close attention to what's happening in Venezuela, and every other country that has attempted to enforce price or income controls. Prosperity can't legislated or mandated.
"We wonder why other countries hate us? I love that! We have a game show in our country called "Survivor." Thats a GAME in our country!...You can win a million dollars for surviving on a place where people already live! Do you realize what kind of message that sends? Not a good one!"
I think you glossed over my point. It's not these silly management initiatives which determine the outcome of a business's success but the core intelligence and culture of the business itself, particularly in its executives and management. Poorly-run companies are always latching on and off the the latest management fads because they lack core direction and competence.
And yet both companies will have the same outcome - continuing their long decline into irrelevant mediocrity. Maybe both companies should consider looking a little further up the management chain to discover what truly ails them.
It occurs to me that Google isn't mad on principle that the NSA spies on Americans using Google's data centers but instead that they're mad the NSA is riding on Google's spying coattails. Nobody likes competition I guess.
Case in point is an example from the article about how a manager was forced to ding a well-performing employee simply because the implied curve system requires someone to get a negative mark. What's ironic is that these 'systems' were created because executives assume middle management can't be trusted to make consistently good personnel decisions, thus their decisions were replaced with a mechanized process, which means management itself suffers from the same problem executives are trying to solve at the employee level.
To bring down the market value of Nokia by both releasing new products (Elop) and then not buying them (consumers), all so that Microsoft could snap up a dead-end company like Nokia on the cheap and Elop could get a big, fat cash bonus for orchestrating it all.
There is a correlation between central pressure and wind speed but there are other factors affecting wind speed, such as the storm's mass (size) and wind mixing depths. This is why the NHC uses dropsondes rather than relying on pressure measurements or satellite estimates.
A high-quality and detailed teardown of their own product? I think that's freaking awesome. And smart too - they know the success of the PS4 will depend on the early adopter, hard-core gamer, the type of person who has likely put together a home-grown PC gaming system and who would get excited about exactly this type of video. Well done Sony.
There was no serious bidder for the company. Fairfax's bid was a sham. And the other companies who have been reported to show interest were actually asked by BlackBerry to meet with them and the companies did so only out of courtesy (http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2013/11/04/blackberry-buyout-was-always-a-joke).

Since the job obviously involves repeatedly lying to the American public.

Exactly. It's like saying Saudi Arabia is prosperous. Not to mention Australia is in the middle of the mother-of-all property bubbles right now.

Can someone please transcribe this into 6502 binary instructions and place it onto punch cards for easier reading?

By that logic all a suspected criminal would ever need to do in order to avoid prosecution would be to leave the country.
If the Belize police really thought McAfee was behind the murder they would request extradition, no?

With all that helium leaking in the server room.
On their HUDs. Hard to fly at 1000 MPH when there's a horny old man chasing a blond in a miniskirt across your visor.
And the sky is not perfectly blue. I don't understand your point.
But the fake stuff will do in a pinch.
That would be really cool.
