They don't need to either.
Ah yes, of course, because they already dominate the worlds home computer market, how silly of me.
Oh wait... Typical answer of a techie, you do not choose your price depending of your costs, you choose your price depending of various factors like:
- how much your customers can pay for this type of products
- what are the prices from your competitors in the same niche
... etc
Selling a 0$ will net you probably a higher penetration of the market but it is not probably something you should do...
There are plenty of "niche" companies doing very well without having >50% of the market...
What will be revolutionizing patient care is the use of mass statistics and basic AI systems based on numbers crunching actually with doctors just interpreting the diagnostics given by a computer actually...
I can't believe that the discussion is still going, every point has been debatted to death.
People uses faxes because it is common usage and accepted by this fact. Email has an image of easily falsifiable, true or not. You cannot go to the court using the email signature or EVEN IF YOU DO, most people think otherwise...
Good ideas are different than legally binding. This is exactly why I do not understand why this article has been posted.
The author of the article seems to think that since email are as secure than faxes, they should be used.
They are just not used because of laws. And the reason for laws to be like that is probably because of the misconception of people making laws (in the various countries we are leaving in), if you ask someone who is non-tech savy, he will probably think that a fax is more secure than an email, like your local congressman.
People are afraid of technology and by what they do not fully understand, generally...
Can you replace Tom Cruise, Spielberg easily ? Not really, this will affect alot the sales.
Can your boss replace you without losing money in his business. Probably, the effect is likely to be less than if a movie producing company replaces a big name...
There you go... that is why you are not being paid the big bucks and you can't negociate toe to toe with your boss. Because you can be replaced...
You misundersstood economics, it is because you (not only you, but the population), are ready to pay 40 dollars to bring your family and buy DVDs at 30 dols when they are out that they get paid that much.
By getting a known (not always good) actor they will get more money from the population, so the actor worth alot of money, in comparison the GTA voice could have be replaced by some other guy without losing 100 millions in sales...
Yes unfortunately, I have to agree that even if it is nice to follow environmentalism, the benefits are not immediate and moreoever you have to share the benefits.
Economics teach us that if you have to make an effort costing you money to share the reward, it is unlikely that a group will succeed in a coordinated actions, because they will all look for their own profit.
It's not totally true, oil versus gold went recently at an all time high, in a time where gold is also expensive (it is often more expensive during crisis as it is seens as an refuge)...
I would put my bet on some indian guy or anti-american guy who noted the sarcasm in the fact that somebody from the US was accusing another country of polluting Earth...
Convenient that almost everybody was pro-war after the 9/11. The reason for which most people now in the US are complaining about the war is because the articles in the papers are depicting the losses of the US army. Nobody cares in the US if 100 000 or 1 millions Iraqis died.
You do not remember when this French thing started in the US ? I will tell you because I remember as I was here. You were looking for allies and when you were turned down, you started the French surrendering thing, Freedom fries and such crap that is still lasting. This is what you get for being the ally of the US. The irony is that I am French-Vietnamese...
And because I was living in the US when Iraq war started and during the elections in which Bush managed to get the vote because people wanted someone to protect them...
Remember the CNN banners "War against terrorism" ?
People who modded this insightful are really thicker than thick...
The law tells you that if you sell a bundle you should also provide the same components separately (In this case Asus must provide also the laptop without the license AND AT A FAIR PRICE).
If you learnt history, you would also see that nobody in the US moved until they got attacked.
That is why the US have no real allies and most of the countries consider the US untrustworthy. Just look at the Iraq mess, nice coalition...
AMD, next sunday on Fox !!!
on
Is AMD Dead Yet?
·
· Score: 3, Funny
Will AMD still be here in 5 years?
Can they pose a credible competitive threat to Intel's dominance?
Do they still have superior but unappreciated technology?
Or are they finally old hat? Can they really recover?
You will get the answers to these question and plenty of others in the next episode, released starting from 2013.
In regards to the second of the two, I find it sad users should have to ask for plain English messages that relay the problem their computers are experiencing. I would imagine many users have asked why they are given a set of numbers without lingual translations over the years; apparently Microsoft hasn't deemed it necessary to explain its inconsistencies to customers.
Just link it to google, that is what we do when we get one of these messages anyway...

After a deep analysis by my S-Meter (sarcasm meter), I think your parent post was highly sarcastic (9.6 out of 10).
... a bargain !
EDIT: I sell Mark VII Super Quantum S-meters for only US $4,650.00
The problem is that I can hardly see an OS forbidding you to do some stuff you want at home.

Most users would complain. In a corporate setting that is totally different
Oh wow I did not even know that there was a B language =/. Is there a A language before B ?

It has been popular because people in the US believe everything that is said on TV, especially propaganda ...
You would still be British if it wasn't for the French :p
do not read any reliable source of information and believe you can wage a war on terrorism.
To make some money ?
