Schumacher skill is not limited to race day. He drives the best car in part because he provides better feedback to his engineers than any other driver. Ther are teams with bigger budgets than Ferrari, and probably teams with better engineers.
All of that is useless unless the driver can drive the car the team can build, and the team can build the car the driver can drive. Schumacher excels not only on race day, but every other day of the week. He is better than any other driver at communicating to his engineers what he needs and understanding what they build.
I don't know where to begin.
1. Apple doesn't only make iPods. They make other shit that costs even more and sells even more poorly. For all we know, they made $100 million on iPods last year and lost $40M on everything else.
2. R&D and advertising are known as "overhead" or "fixed costs." They do not effect the marginal cost of producing the 3,000,001st iPod. In theory, reducing the price could increase profits by increasing sales. I can't say whether this is true of the iPod, but by your logic Apple would be losing money if they sold the iPod for anything less than $20M per unit. After all, they have to pay for R&D and advertising.
Not quite.
He isn't saying that RFID can be applied to itangible items, just that intangible items could use the same nomenclature and share the same namespace as RFID'ed items.
While the author suggests that individual music tracks could be given ID codes, he doesn't address the problem of how (or whether) to extend those ID codes to multiple instances of the same music track.

or... it illustrates what an eternity "a second or two" is in F1.
If by, "mid 70's" you mean "mid 90's," then yes, DLP has been around since the mid 70's.
