  1. Re:Its a miss... on Apple Blames Earnings Miss On iPhone 5 Anticipation · · Score: 1

    Have you seen how high Apple stock is? It is more likely to stagnate or go down than up. If had a lot of Apple stock, I would cash it in now and retire.

    It doesn't really matter with Android so much now that they have improved their app store. It will keep track of stuff pretty much like iTunes. People are figuring it out and that darn Kindle Fire had something to do with it as I see previous 3gs and even 4 owners getting an Android with a 4.5 inch screen that can compete with the Apple in almost every way for a much cheaper price. Apple wont be able to maintain those 50% margins for long.

    This is true bigger is better. For a phone about 5" is the max. Well with fondle slabs, the sky is the limit. My 4.3" Android is no bigger than the smaller iPhone screens and I have small hands. Not too large. Anything beyond a 5" would be a tablet.

    What about all AC's are lame. I just made that up, but seriously if stat counter didn't count that and it is only desktop systems, then it will take another one like maybe double click to verify their results because probably more people have smart phones than desktops these days. How would stat counter know the difference?

    Even the foundation and excavation would take longer than that. They are insane. I even have my doubts about their 30 story claims although it does look impressive, but still if it's in the hasn't been done before category, watch out.

    I don't think they can even erect such a structure in that short amount of time if it is going to be taller than the one in Dubai which is very tall and took years to build.

    Even with multi-car-tracks that last section of the current tallest building in Dubai is elevator shaft just to say "I'm bigger". If you go that high you just about have to have a Y-shaped building. Were talking over twice the height of the Sears tower. In any case, that less than 90 days is BS although they did a great job with a 30 story building.

    We'll in the Netherlands you are on reclaimed land where the soil is soft. Where they plan to build this building there may be bedrock underneath such as in New York City but with that being said, I doubt any structure over 1000 feet can be built in 90 days at all as either way the foundation alone would probably take more time than this.

    It sounds like a 3 year project minimum.

    You know, really you are right, the Romans did build stuff fast and that would last that would not be surpassed until the industrial revolution. The Chinese also have a lot of man power but it takes more than that for something like they are planning. Maybe 3 years of building on the ground and then 90 days...no way anyhow.

  22. Re:I don't doubt that they can build a tower on Chinese Firms Claims It Can Build World's Tallest Tower in 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Yep, once you get over 1000 feet it's just "who can have the highest building" as the cost goes up exponentially by then because of elevators. Maybe if they could invent beaming? We rushed up a lot of infrastructure in the 50's and now it's falling down while that stuff built pre-war is still going and going. Very costly in the end to cut corners on projects like that.

    I would disagree. What will happen to China when Europe and the US quits buying stuff from them and locates to someplace cheaper? China does not have the natural resources of the US despite having some resources and that does matter. Their population is their strength and their weakness.

    We have done the same for 100 years. Anything big like that has to be pre-fabbed. Unless they have some new way of doing that it seems like a miss-translation to me. 90 months would be more like it.
