I second this. I wander though my local BN with my nook logged in to the BN wifi. If I see a book that's interesting I look it up and add it to my wish list or buy it then and there.
This is a standard clause in the GSA contract any vendor must sign to do business with the gov. GSA gets the same deal you give your best customer. If you violate this clause the GSA can go back to the time of the violation and demand a refund for any product or service you've sold since the violation.
You can't believe the damage these punks did to the company. The rotten management made it a very unpleasant place to work. The rot went all through the company. The pressure to make numbers caused a lot of people to cheat knowing if they looked good then it made everyone up the chain look good and bumped the stock price up. It's not surprising the quality sucks.
Or the editing. Have you read many blogs lately. An editor, even in electronic media, is still needed. But I applaud the writers getting more of the profit from creating the work.
In most parts of the country you can check out ebooks from your local library. Once your check out period is up you delete the book from your computer and someone else can check it out. Works great for audio books too. If it's a book you want to keep buy a copy.
I hardly think DOD projects are subject to market forces. The participation of NASA in the booster market or any market will not change anything in the DOD costs, especially for ICBMs.
Anyone who would fly below 500 feet over the Gulf around LA is nuts. There are so many things sticking up out of the water to run into. At night It's hard to tell the land from the water because of the lights.
Every speech Michael has ever given touts "Dell Direct" as the reason this could never happen. "We have control over what goes into our machines, we designed them." "We have control over the supply chain." "We know from our service calls when a problem occurs." "We can turn on a dime if a problem occurs." "Just in time inventory means that if the supply stream is polluted, we can change to one that isn't."
You won't believe how much thought goes into pricing components for Dell's motherboards. The engineers and marketing folks can spend weeks arguing over fraction of pennies for components but no one ever seems to think about how much it will cost to replace the motherboard when a capacitor that marketing saved $0.0001 on blows up or what it will cost in good will and customer relations. Michael will have to look for another ATT emeritus ecxec who won an award for Six Sigma to come lend his name to ANOTHER patented Dell "Quality First" push. And this is the premium corporate line of computers. Imagine what the crappy commodity computers are like.

They already have they are the big customer in virtually any market.

Miles per gallon equivalent is the term the X-car people are using.
I second that. Plus the you can change the font size to help the hard of seeing.
Did Intel commit a marketing mistake by announcing a follow on product before they come to market with the first product?
The current state of MS is a direct result of management by screaming. I'm surprised it has lasted this long.
They went from First stage to Fourth in one go.

Michael, et al, controls the voting. We piddling shareholders have no real voice in the matter.

Maybe if sites with a large number of users would not "inadvertently release" passwords would help also.
That's why Michael Dell loves Bill Gates.

It's too bad one of our employees is writing a paper that appears behind a pay wall.
Who is Prince?

You couldn't be more right. Dell hasn't been the same since I left.

This reminds me the discussion where the marketing folks suggested we tell customers "We're not any worse than anyone else."
The people running the company at the time are long gone. There's not much anyone can do to them.
I wish every Dell Vice President knew Dell had people out in the field. You'd be surprised how many don't know that.
