Came in at $600 billion, so 20% above what was expected, though come wished for 2,000..
In the US people who had "their" (rather the banks) property taken away gets out of any debt, right? That's why the banks get the issue with selling at a loss for less money than they had lend out?
Over here in Sweden the property is still your safety for the loan but if it's not enough it's not enough so you're still in debt..
I think the US system at least forces the banks to take some responsibility / don't lend to very risky costumers.
In the US at least you get out of a situation where you're on debt _AND_ don't have a house. But sure it still suck if you have paid lots of money and then have no house. But similar things could happen with any investment I assume.
Anyway, good for the banks, sad for responsible people who get lots less for their money, inflation and poor rates on their savings.
The risky consumers gets away with it (somewhat) and everyone else pay to cover the banks. Sadly it never runs the other way around =P, or well, maybe if the risky consumers has to pay more interest and you own stocks in the bank turning a profit:)
Btw, I read how FED had asked 18 (?) banks what they expected QE2 to be or something such, either to know at what level to put it or be able to blame them if they fuck up ("oh but look we asked them!")
Anyhow, FED is your central bank? Maybe you shouldn't let things like that and FDA be ran by (people of) companies with subjective interests and personal gains.
I didn't knew it was actually the same product, same concept though. So sign me up on those 3/10 to =P
Anyway, funny how the specs is the same now to, impressive, no development in four years:D And totally comparable with a 1.2 GHz x86 chip even today, never mind any efficiency progress of x86 chips. (As if it was even back then?)
Throw in the old quantitative easing and the new QE2 if it happens and be sure that lots of those dollars will be spent in China (and borrowed from them?)

So can I paypal you the money for some Florida property? ;)
Is that the birth date of Stallman?

Stock market is up for sure.
Since the dollars aren't worth much longer even falling valuation lead to increased stock prices :D
Inflation at work.
Low salary increase = not much more money.
Inflation with low salary increase = less purchase power.
But it's good for the fucktards at the banks who lend people all the money, because it's much easier to pay back an inflated debt.
Good for them, bad for you all.
when all there is is yet another model?
Seemed like the same one to us.. :D
I always enjoy when people write articles without actually understanding what they're saying.
Yeah, they should stay out of tech press and stay in politics!
Obligatory: Get of my lawn!
And that one is also a jack pc running on ethernet power! Amazing!

P3? P4? Pentium-M? Core i7?
No she doesn't! :/
In some countries $99 will do there to.
A guy told me today Telia sold the HTC Desire for 100 sek ($14.95) to their if it was 100 or 200 first consumers after opening their new store.
I had no idea :/
(Probably close to no-one else either, happy surprise for the first people I guess.)
Solution:
Let IBM design it.
Standard.
Seriously, what would the alternatives be? I assume Google comes closest ..

Maybe it's the tinker part there, or something, what do I know, haven't read it.
I don't think it has ever been on the App store?
It's there for jail-breached devices, just as everything else though.
Though someone who enjoys using their device the way they want to shouldn't buy Apple products in the first place.
It'll never happen since Apple, as usual, didn't invent shit
Sure Apple invented shit and people are buying it!
No patents.
Economic win for Apple.
Economic loss for Apple.
Sure I don't like patents but I think I have to go with "Economic loss for Apple" simply because I don't like them :D
Now you're just proving his point so you'll lose that one :D
Throw in the old quantitative easing and the new QE2 if it happens and be sure that lots of those dollars will be spent in China (and borrowed from them?)
Sure you can afford lots .. Obviously.
To put it in perspective:
Chinas new super computer:
$ 88,000,000
US defense budget 2009:
$ 515,400,000,000
Yeah, I can't see how you could possible be able to afford anything like this!
(And who knows, eventually your military already has it, or much better gear, just not bragging about it in the open.)
"Of course it runs NetBSD ...", with NPF?
Actually you might not be that much wrong :)
Just look at the history :)
Nazi Germany had weak science?
Communism was bad for science progress?
War obviously is awesome for some science ;D, gives a reason to spend more on R&D I guess.
Of course you could do that without wars to.
What are you suggesting?
Growing population by a factor of 5?
Decrease salaries?
Spend lots of the money on small high image projects while most of the rest of the country remain poor?
I do understand that they will eventually catch up, but in the mean time you Americans are way ahead of the average Chinese.
Is Flash multi-threaded (-cored?) now?
If not I assume: Yes.
They day it's is the day surfing the web will suck even more.
"If you read this you owe us cash! And if you can't read it you owe us even more!"
Now we'll all be sued for voluntarily not being able to read the content we would have had to pay for to read!
