John McCain (for example) took time out of his preparation for upcoming primaries to chair an internal commitee on whether or not to use Windows or Linux servers. Furthermore, he took into consideration the political, secretive, subliminal implications of this choice and made a strategic move that would appease constituents.
Or maybe he just asked an old buddy to coordinate his web site.
...being responsible and not letting games interfere with real life. like playing after the kids are in bed. it's not so hard to do.

Mark Cuban is a maverick in a lot of ways. I have actually had the pleasure of meeting him several times during the course of my previous job here in Dallas, and in-person and in everday situations (I've spoken with him both in a business and casual setting), he is a cordial, and generally "normal" person. But he is not not stupid. Maverick is a good word for him, as he may not always be diplomatic or smart about his emotional reactions, but he is definitely not dumb when it comes to many business decisions. My question is: what is he getting out of this? Is it a pride thing? So needs to be right he's cast his lot with the opponents? The money motivator is there, but it's not like he needs more. I think he may be bored and just needs something to focus on that he feels is a sure thing.
It seems to be a universal concern across this panel that the dependency on hardware vendors (and their ever-lowering prices) is choking the ability to sell at a high profit margin, and the future of these companies lies in their value-add or approach to the problem. Dell seems to be leaning to the ever-successful volume model, while smaller niche companies will be focusing on specialty services differentiation. In the end, though, it's likely that many of the smaller companies will either be bought (like Alienware) or stay very small in their respective niche. IMO.
Isn't the whole "outsourcing to India" tagline a bit tired? I would expect companies like Intel to put their R&D where it's the cheapest. After all, this can constiute up to 40% of a product's cost (and possibly more with a company like Intel that is so heavily based on new hardware technologies). If India lets them bring it down to 20 or 25%, their investors are the winners and they can continue to be competitive. One more notch in the chain of possible US job losses? Yes. A smart business move? Probably.
When you look at some solutions like MyEclipse, which integrates dozens of open source solutions into a seamless IDE, you pay only $30 for the product and full support. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. http://www.myeclipseide.com/
So, a twice-observed occurence makes a possibly common universal feature, and to explain it, we have a poorly-understood mechanism that somehow does something we don't understand with an effect we can't mimic. Ah, the joys of physics.:-)
i'm on sprint, and this works like a charm. the cell-while-you-drive concern is legit, but no more dangerous than any GPS system, IMHO. personally, i'm going to use it when i pull into that gas station and purposefully DON'T ask for directions. because now i don't have to. the ultimate justifier! my wife has no leg to stand on anymore.
Common Sense lived a long life but died in the United States from heart failure just after the dawn of the new millenium. No one really knows how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools, hospitals, homes and factories, and helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and foolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws, and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, and that life isn't always fair.
Common Sense lived by simple credos: sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and winning isn't everything (it's okay to come in second).
Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, a teen suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student only worsened his condition. It declined even further when schools had to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but could not inform the parent when a female student was pregnant or wanted an abortion.
Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from the Boy Scouts to professional sports. Finally, when a woman, too stupid to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, was awarded a huge settlement, Common Sense threw in the towel.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

MySpace has such a huge amount of traffic these days, but it had been unclear to this point how that traffic was going to be translated into revenue. Pitting competitors is a great maneuver for MySpace, and whatever engine wins the bid (especially if someone"lesser" than Google) can expect a huge boost themselves.
This is also lucrative in that the demographics are very clear for the MySpace crowd, and should allow for highly-targeted ad campaigns for content providers. Kudos on a good move by MySpace!
I coulda SWORN the idea behind telcommuting was that you didn't waste time driving or putting up with office-related BS. I know that having a home office alows greater flexibility (which apparently is a bad thing to HP). But as introverted and "leave me alone and let me work" as most programmers and IT personnel are, why would you force them into a room and waste more of their time getting to an environment they hate? I smell backlash. This is akin to offering insurance benefits and then recanting after years.
Google is taking over the world already, why not expand their market share to space? I can see it already: "Mars Orbiter Googled in Midflight." From it's web server cell phone, of course.

What happens when after a few years of sugar consumption our notebooks get diabetes? You thought the finger-prick was a pain...

Adds a whole new dimension to Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.

As long as there are video output ports, there will always be a way to pirate movies. All this move will do is annoy the heck out of normal consumers.
These gentlemen were caught by McAfee's internal-use-only feature, "Option Blocker."

We are no longer a British colony. And why we invented baseball.

Are couples who can't conceive mice really that large of a market?
