    The power of Apple's marketing isn't in the new customers who see it, it's the old customers who use it as a script on how to promote the company. Who needs clever marketing with f…

    Nah, he just wants to buy up more MSFT and he's trying to set a trend to drop the price short term so he can get a better deal.

    Wait, so he's saying that he's moving from MSFT to AAPL because AAPL has better lock-in? Personally, I'm staying with MSFT because MSFT has already learned the follies of relying o…

    "repeatedly"? Source? I've worked in Amazon warehouses and they are far and above any other workhouse job in terms of both safety, pay and workload required. Granted, I only worked…

    I prefer Anonymous because it it's legible at low resolutions. Any font can take advantage of high resolution, it opens up a lot of freedom to the artist.
