There must be a way that they could engineer a new product to be both more sexy and less durable. Educate people on how much they want it, and that only douchebags don't have it. Couple that strategy with stock buy backs, and they'll have a bold, world-class business strategy for the new millennium.
"Someone who owns less than 2% of the company is drawing massive attention towards something that will keep the leadership from doing what the company needs long term."
You mean selling off everything?
GO, SUPER MARISSA!!!!
American workers are now competing to offer their labor at the lowest possible cost. Improving public education has helped; American workers are beginning to understand and accept that they have no other choice.
Magic pixie hair.
As everyone knows, magic pixie hair, if harvested correctly, could supply all the energy needs of an exponentially growing global economy for centuries, nay, millenia.
Engineers just need to figure out how to find the pixes, and harvest their hair.
I'm a compelling idea man.
I would think that critical thinking is exactly what the state wants to limit in it's citizens. And by "state," I mean the nexus of the most powerful and monied bureaucratic and commercial interests. For example, does a company like Apple benefit most from questioning consumers, or from credulous consumers?
Yeah? Please explain - how are these "working classes" ordered and what are the demarcation lines? Are you talking "middle" = median, or "middle" = mean?
From my 48 years of experience, 99% in the USA thinks they're "middle class."

Redifine "science." Redifine "education." Redifine "justice."
War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
Let's just finally set the Enlightnemnet aside becasue feudalism will probably work better going forward, anyway.
There is no alternative to Taylorization.
McSchools will be as much about learning as McDonald's is about nutrition. Give people what they WANT cuz there's a sucker born every minute! Ayn Rand has a lot to say on this, but I bet you already knew that.
A simple alternative would be locally controlled public schools, but that would require an already educated, active populace. HA HA HA. No, not in America. Americans hate education - they love training, certifications, compliance, and conformity. They love winners and losers.
Here's another alternative: why not do what Finland does? Finland is tops in whatever measurement you want to use for learnin'.
Rhetorically you lose, but rest assured - the future you want is coming so you win in the end. I guess.
Absolutely. Public/private partnerships set up to funnel tax payer money to charter schools staffed by McTeachers. I WAS a teacher; what a shitty job. I think public/private partnerships were called fascism back in the day.

Audacious -- perhaps, but is it also bold and world-class?
> 50% of human beings? What a dubious statement.
I run Transmission on a server, then access it from a client via web interface. Thus my boat is floated.
My question is, would improving security cost more than $1,600?

Do you really think that Tim Cook is going to go on stage in front of literally millions of viewers and say that if it isn't true?
I think he'll say whaetever he thinks he needs to to move stock.

Do you understand what the word "middle" means?
We are clearly approaching the singularity.

Bill Nye is a media construct, not a scientist. He's not particularly skilled at debate, either.
I logged in just to say that. I NEVER login.
