    >They do not turn a profit because they keep sinking their profits back into expansion. Uh, that's pretty much the definition of "unprofitable".

    I don't know about you, but I don't want football field size anything flying over my head, shooting energy beams. I like... air, instead.

    30-pin was an Apple-only connector, though. Same with lightning. The 1.5mm jack, on the other hand, is the standard audio connector for just about every consumer-grade device in th…

    You're paying sales taxes in pretty much all of the US, though, though not as much(ranges from ~3% to 10%).

    Both books are, actually. The paperback edition for Brad Stone's book is going to be released in October.

    So, in other words, you're creating another group with you at the top, pushing your PR agenda for the movement. I fail to see the difference, other than the fact that you're doing …

    If it's a core part of your technology strategy, as RBS/ABN say it is, then your legal people need to make sure that you don't accidentally sell it away. The problem seems to stem(…
