Clearly, simple supply and demand does not work here. Take a normal example: McDonalds could sell millions more Big Macs if they lower the price to $0.50, but they wouldn't want to because they are not equipped to deal with that demand and their current operating assumptions work at the $2.00 price.
However, in this case, there is almost unlimited capacity to scale the operation.
Why not take advantage of this new market condition like Vanderbilt did when he revolutionized the steamship industry. He sold tickets for a lower cost and padded his slim margins by adding value and revenue to the trips by selling food and drink. The record labels wouldn't even have to sell other services because they easily cover their operating margins.
The record companies are in the unique position to lower the cost of a song to say, $0.75 and take advantage of almost costless scaling. Why wouldn't they?
The simple answer I can think of is that the quality of the product that they offer is so poor that exposure to this music will lead to less return business. Take a tip from the late, great Sam Walton and discover the power of discounting.
Steps for Success
1. You and your friends buy lots of SCO stock
2. You and your friends publicly pay the $699 license fee, thus legitimizing their claims.
3. Watch stock go up on news
4. Profit!!//individual results will vary
This news raised Intel's market cap by 74million dollars today(up 2.5 points). That means that either the market vales this new technology at 74million (about 10% of the company) OR we have a lot of stupid investors that overvalue stock because they think news like this is going to make them rich. I'm not an expert, but I am studying finance in college and I don't think people are being responsible when I see things like this. I believe that it will be the people with brains and balls that short this sock that make money.
Imagine what will happen when we have private investment accounts and someone else releases some news that only a few understand the consequences of but everyone knows is good.
Well, since GPS can attain your position to at least 3m they will know that your not driving on a public road. However, I don't know if this would put a strain on the technology (processing millions of changing positions) or if they simply decided not to implement this into their system.
If they put one in every car, they will have to release the specifications of the system; meaning that it will be hacked in no time. Probably even faster if they don't release any specifications.
Since your called Jobs a "realist," I must call you a "sensationalist." I don't think your going to get Apple whipped into a frenzy with this one, but you tried. This story is bait.
Wal-Mart is also responsible for lowering retail prices by 10% since 1978. In turn, raising your real income by countering inflation. Don't shop there if you don't want to, but they are why you get good prices wherever you shop now.
This is why companies look at student's grades in school. It proves to them that the student is willing to do the work (even if they think it is trivial, don't understand it or don't like the subject).
If "lead Firefox developer" is on your "report card" then its clear that you have a passion for your work.
Doesn't California have a long history of power problems? Why burden ones self with the costs of putting a server center there instead of moving to another state with a better infrastructure. Another negative externality of doing business in California.
With regards to your sig. "My Name is Sloppy and I approved this Message." I saw a local Democrat with a tv commercial where he talked about himself for about 30 seconds, then said "my name is [Idiot] and I approved this message." I instantly thought, "You just said the whole thing yourself, obviously you approved the message. Do you not approve of everything you say?"

Can you always count on a cat to sniff out a bomb, track a criminal, guide the blind and rescue trapped victims?
At baseball games they don't even give you the top for the plastic bottle they sell you so you won't throw the full bottle at someone. A big p4 laptop could hold a pretty serious weapon. Where there is beer and a large amount of males, there will be fights.
Kudos to the poster for pointing this out. I see this helping after-market tuning companies squeeze more horsepower out of cars. I would look into whoever proposed the bill and take a look in there garage. I would wager that you will find a non ODB-2 300zx twin turbo (a high gain car without new diagnostics) or a similar car.

Perhaps this technology comes from their strategic partnership with Transmeta whom has always put great emphasis on energy conservation. Decent Google search here.
Your correct, the stock I looked up was INTL. I should have known that 700million was a very small market cap for Intel. Sorry for the confusion.
Ever since playing NBA Live 2004 i've developed a "wicked jump shot" and a "killer crossover!"

Give one of these devices to a car theif in Jersey City or Newark, NJ see what happens.
