But sometimes flawed beliefs do require you to recognize that you were wrong and change direction. In a world based on competition and evolution, those who do not adapt to their environments will die off / go bankrupt / etc. It's the survival of the fittest. As for this situation, I think your statement is justified, however I'm merely pointing out that it's not always the case.
I think the reason that he is switching the words is because Apple is using them to drive iPod sales. Apple doesn't mind charging a low price for songs because most of its revenue comes from the sale of iPods. On the other hand, the music industry only gets revenue from the low priced, $.99 song sales.
"and makes it more difficult for Microsoft to convince people to upgrade when Longhorn is released late next year"...if it is released next year. It seems to keep getting pushed back.
I find it interesting that the article asserts that more children of the rich are getting into the ivy league nowadays. In fact, one could argue the exact opposite. In the past, the ivy league was only for the wealth. However, more and more, the ivies are striving for diversity and they are not taking as many "old money" private school kids.
There are so many good entries already. Why not choose many of them and have the the gimp load a different splash every time it starts? It would be interesting, for sure.
The thing is, these people aren't the real suckers... They will most likely turn around after this initial batch of auctions and sell their new accounts at a higher price for a profit.
I, for one, haven't had any problems with comcast. In fact, yesterday they upgraded (doubled) my transfer speeds. Now, for the same price, I can download files at 412kb/s instead of 212kb/s;)
