I agree but the question is whether a company the size of Dell can sustain their business in its current form/size with only business customers. Plus with Intel only eeking out 10% performance gains between processor generations there isn't much impetus for business to upgrade very often, if at all.
October 6, 1997, Michael Dell was asked what he would do to fix Apple. His answer, "What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders". Well Dell has returned money to his shareholders. The Smartphone and Tablet industry will take care of the shutting-down-Dell part in due time.
People love to selectively pick 'n choose which benefits of free market capitalism they allow themselves to enjoy and which they wag their fingers at with disdain and want eliminated. Problem is, other people may have an exact opposite set of priorities as you and push to have your luxuries eliminated instead. It can't work both ways. This is why free markets have done more to support personal liberties and choice than all the other failed 'personalized' ideologies combined. Don't tell me what I can buy and enjoy and at what price and I'll return the favor to you.
Where the Russians were napping next to a mobile ICBM launch vehicle. Hopefully the US Nuclear Officers will get to bang a hot adversary like in the movie.
Before Wall St. bought Congress the Government used to prosecute corporations, dissolving them if proven guilty. But this isn't unique to corporations - the DOJ is also letting individuals walk free as well.
The mere semantics of governments calling it a "corporate tax" is disingenuous. A corporation is not an inanimate object separate from humans. An income tax on corporations is really an income tax on people, which include its shareholders, employees, and many times its customers as reflected in the price of products. And since shareholders/employees already pay income tax on their earnings and customers sales tax on their purchases, a corporate tax is really just double taxation. If governments want to have an honest debate about corporate tax they should first be honest about what it really is and who actually pays it. When that happens I suspect there will be less lynching of corporations by the uninformed citizenry.
"It Turns out a CT scan of a post-crash vehicle offers an unprecedented precision look at the internal damage details, without disturbing the wreckage further. A crashed car is hoisted onto a turntable, and as it turns, two X-ray detectors on either side scan it."
My car was never in an accident but I'm pretty sure hoisting it up will cause something on my P.O.S. to fall off. I imagine it would be worse for a mangled car.
First they create an API to help engender an ecosystem that attracts developers to improve the platform and thus bring in more users. Then after the ecosystem is established and FB goes IPO for billions they start pulling the rug from underneath the third-party developers that helped get them there. FB deserves a fate worse than MySpace.
And what happens if the firewall is already compromised when the firemen arrive? Are they suppose to stand in the middle of the flames while they reattach the firewall before attempting to extinguish the fire? Try to apply a bit more common sense and critical thinking before accusing others of not knowing what they're talking about.
Yeah, It performed as well as other lithium ion batteries do when they're on fire. That is to say not very well, with an uncontrollable fire that actually gets worse and spreads when water is applied to it. Good thing he wasn't driving through a thunderstorm at the time otherwise the entire state of Washington would be burning.
If the NSA collecting metadata on Americans isn't such a big deal then I propose the metadata for all politicians be posted on a publicly accessible website. I'm particularly interested in the phone records between Congress and K Street.
So just a few days after Blackberry pre-announces horrible quarterly results with a $1 Billion write down, suddenly a white knight appears to snap up the company at the post-earnings depressed stock price, for what is essentially book value. Like how Dell wasn't timid about producing horrible results while trying to take the company private for cheap. I wonder if Blackberry would have been so aggressive with their inventory write down if it didn't suit Fairfax's rationale for buying the company for nothing.
So that it can die in peace. Blackberry's problems don't stem from it being a public company - taking it private will only shield us all from the morbid details.

The 5S/5C was released in eleven worldwide markets simultaneously this year vs nine markets for last year's iPhone 5 release, including China. Me thinks the one-weekend sales figures aren't comparable.

You know a government is corrupt when they don't even bother to hide it anymore.
That way when there's a breach your creative suite files can rain on 50 different countries at the same time, all at the speed of light.
I don't follow why you believe there is a distinction. If Dell were made the CEO of apple he'd be asked to fix it's problems. There, distinction gone.

What calculation did you use to arrive at a 30% increase in target customer base?

It's not a software bug, it's a "data discrepancy" that software will "fix".
