How much lower will NOK shares sink before MS finally buys out the pieces left? They're now trading at 11 PE ratio, or $5.20 a share. They're valued at about $20B, and they have some $7B net cash. Any financial expert in the room who can advise us when to start buying?
I would like to see smart car technology really starting to get widespread. Cars that sync with each other based on destination and form self-driven chains to minimize gas consumption and space usage. That'd be not just really cool, also very practical. Of course, public transport is the obvious low tech solution that would make sense if so many Americans weren't ideologically against it...
People who probably don't think about it or haven't been explained that waiters still do the same work. At my company we have one of those corporate discount cards that gets us a discount at several local businesses, and whenever we search for restaurants, we're told pretty clearly that we are expected to tip over the full amount. I think it's just a matter of common sense, but of course there are the cheap bastards:).
I'm so confused by AOL. They have ads all over Silicon Valley asking you to go work for them "before your boss does", but I have no idea what they're selling or working on. And why would anyone with a hint of critical thinking would want to work for them?
Cougar Point is a chipset (the set of circuits that normally come in a motherboard, separate from the CPU). Sandy Bridge is a family of processors. The announced problem is with the former, not the latter. A lot of tech news outlets are spreading the misinformation and causing quite a mess.
He was murdered shortly after Indian independence, and the Nobel prize is only awarded to living people. Had he lived a bit longer, I'm sure he would have received it.
That's why high speed railway is an improvement for the medium distance commute. Faster than flying, takes you straight to the city center where you can walk out or take a bus to your final destination. On board, you can sleep, read, work or walk around. I for one am looking forward to CA's first line. It would make my life so much nicer for my frequent SF-LA weekend trips.
A big part of the problem with the USPS is that lots of employees take extra hours routinely. These hours are paid at 1.5x for a while, then at 2x. Bringing down hour commitments to 40h per week would be a huge money saver at a relatively small cost of quality of service. At the same time, it would make the job less attractive to a lot of people who make a nice living delivering mail.
The problem is critical mass and vicious cycles of low quality -> low ridership -> low revenue -> low quality. In any case, there are railroads crisscrossing the US and they make plenty of economic sense. From the Wikipedia: "UK Freight train average about 1.5-2.0 MPG Loaded." Try that with trucks on the freeway.
My guess is that the developers didn't find it useful in their setting (office desk, sitting up, on a couch...). Maybe they should have nap rooms in Cupertino:).
Yup, that's exactly right. Take the previous update of OS X, with its two versions, for one user and for "up to 5 users". They are exactly identical inside. The only thing that prevents overuse is user honesty.
Boxed software, like anything you can buy off the supermarket shelves has a typical offset price of about 50% for the distributor. If anything, this hurts the middle man more than anyone, and I'm all for it.
But how can you say you "believe in the Bible" if you don't believe what the Bible says? How do you know what parts make sense and what parts are to be taken as a metaphor? (Off topic, I know, but I found your reply interesting.)
The company I work for is possibly the most paranoid entity I know of. No outside computers allowed. I occasionally stay home for an unplanned remote working day, or I might need to call in to a meeting, and then I need the laptop.

And carpy spell checkers as well.
Yes, I agree. I also think the US will be some 10-15 years behind China in things like these. Or longer.

If they rig all those cameras with wifi hotspots, they're pretty much set.
Neither of those, per se, but when I was looking for jobs I ignored Intel, and they do use a lot of applied mathematicians.
Would you care to share your resume?

Good luck to all Simpsons' characters using an iPad next season!

College students tend to join the taxpayers pretty soon. Normally by the following legislature.

Yes, but that's true of Hollywood, or the entertainment industry in general.
And thank $DEITY for that, I can watch all the classics I want for $10 a month, often in 1080p and without ads. Keep inflating the numbers, please!

Indeed, especially one so close to their main line of business. Maybe they're hurt with the underwhelming results 10 years after the forecast was due?
