    This is an extraordinarily dumb paragraph: "She could have run off and been a startup founder and "CEO," but what kind of power is that, really? Running around Silicon Valley beggi…

    His billion dollar marker is drastically high. He has been living in dotcom fantasy land for far too long. There's no reason you can't raise $250k for 25% from an angel investor, t…

    It became an inconvenient statement once Apple conquered the known universe. As is so typical with power and success.

    It'll actually end up being a tax benefit while costing them no actual red ink.

    The problem with using coercion is, the people using it never believe it's useless regardless of what's coming out of your mouth.

    In an actual free market, collusion between companies is legal and occurs regularly. You're talking about a regulated market in which labor is protected by government intervention …

    There has been talk about Google stealing Yahoo back away from Microsoft on an ad deal, so that would also be another reason. It could be worth hundreds of millions per year to lan…

    There's enough prior art to demolish this easily. It won't even remotely hold up under legal scrutiny if it's ever used by Apple in a lawsuit. I think this is a complete non-issue.…

    I find the China Study and Dr. Esselstyn's work to be far more interesting in regards to the results of a diet rich in the consumption of animal cholesterol and animal protein.

    There are two big evils in American lifestyles: hyper consumption of sugar, and lack of exercise. Americans walk a fraction as much as their grandparents every day, and consume sev…

    The caves and small places of Earth say otherwise. So do the intense environments on Earth that we've found life in. It's at least as plausible that life can hang on, sheltered in …

    They can however get kick backs from open source integrators / specialists / consultants / etc. Companies ranging from IBM to Red Hat (a $10 billion corporation). The notion that i…

    They're going to have to literally reinvent themselves. Not in the B.S. wishy-washy way they've proclaimed numerous times. But in the balls out risky reinvention where if you fail,…

    Apple is a once in a century example, good luck with that. And besides, I didn't suggest nothing can be changed at Yahoo. I didn't say that at all. I said it should be blown apart,…

    IBM under Lou Gerstner is one of the greatest turn around stories in business history. "How Lou Gerstner Got IBM To Dance" http://www.forbes.com/2002/11/11/cx_ld_1112gerstner.html …

    Extremely disingenuous. In fact it's a lot closer to flat out lying. The extension creators have 100 million users, not them. They have 7,000 users (developers). They're basically …
