  1. Re:Yeah they did on Bill Gates Says Windows Phone Strategy Was Inadequate · · Score: 1

    Apple is sitting on their iPhone success. They're letting the Droids overtake them. The iPhone 5 is really nice but it's not like there aren't offerings from other vendors that compete. They need to get out there and prove they can innovate without Steve.

  2. Re:Another call for Ballmer's bad strategy on Bill Gates Says Windows Phone Strategy Was Inadequate · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I always thought Paul Allen was the real brains at Microsoft anyway. Gates and Ballmer were the ruthless cutthroats who bamboozled IBM. What they did to wring IBM's business away isn't going to work against Google and Apple as it's a different era not to mention the EU isn't going to allow that stuff anymore.

    They are more interested in making money than making great products. I don't see where they have any love or passion for the things they make.

    I like it. That's what we need, an independent universal money backed by actual metal not some government entity with a printing press.

    Wikileaks attacked the United States government. It was a clear case of espionage and that would make any government in the world go after them. The US has strong allies and a long reach. Right or wrong they picked a fight and should have known there would be consequences. Personally I think they were wrong. A lot of people died because of that release of raw information, I don't think any of them truly realized what all was contained in it. Like it or not governments make the laws and if you break them there are consequences.

    My understanding is that because the honey is harvested during the summer the bees need the sugar water to survive the winter season.

    Tomatoes are probably the most noticeable product where local makes the biggest difference. The ones from the vine in my backyard are so much better than what's in the store that it's unbelievable. People have to try it to understand the difference.

    One benefit of local honey is help with allergies for local conditions. I have a friend with severe allergy problems and he raises bees for this very reason. I have no allergy problems but he claims that consuming the honey from local bees helps greatly. It's best if you get the honey with the honeycomb as well.

    No. We need the Mexicans. They come here to work taking mostly jobs no one else wants to do. They work extremely hard for not much money and most are good people. The problem is undocumented illegal aliens. I welcome those that want to come here to work under the law. Immigration in accordance with the law is a good thing.

    Maybe preventing anyone else from figuring out why mutations in BRCA1 may cause breast cancer was the whole point of granting the patent? But then maybe I'm just paranoid.
