Just a step to make themselves marketable. A new hardware company won't need the sales force. Gutting them now make that less of an issue for the new owner. My 2 cents.

Neat, but... This:

As stated by others....credit card companies charge transaction fees and a percentage of the total. American Express being the highest, visa snd MC being almost equal. I understand the move and don't blame them. learn to use your online bill pay or send a check; problem solved.

What's up benny...been a long time. Everything good on your end? Mba open house for me on saturday. Guess it's time to piss or get off the pot.

Is Market.Android.com blocked? Does it prevent you from installing apps through the web interface? If so, I will eat crow. Otherwise, I say optimized for Amazon, not blocked for all others.

Really? Do you even own an Android device? Are you fool enough to think that any one of the many android retail apps currently available on the market will suddenly disappear or magically not work on this device? Sure, Amazon will optimize the system to work for them, but to claim everyone...

loss leader Definition: Good or service advertised and sold at below cost price. Its purpose is to bring in (lead) customers in the retail store (usually a supermarket) on the assumption that, once inside the store, the customers will be stimulated to buy full priced items as well. See also...

Only from the Government. If you say slanderous things publicly about your employer (or anyone), don't be surprised that there are consequences. In my mind, this is the tip of the iceberg; an entire generation of brats who avoided or were never forced to take responsibility for their actions...

Another product of the "ME" generation. Gone are a sense of loyalty to anyone but themselves. Values, ethics, common sense, are a thing of the past.

I LOL'd As far as "Multi-touch", trademark != patent

"...Facebook maintains its huge base of extremely unsatisfied users. It’s a system that has worked for many organizations, from EverQuest to the Democratic Party..." LOL :) Love it! and oh so true. The article was very well written.

Awesome. I want one. Where does one find the time to do something like this?

This++++++++++++

This...for the most part. I have an adopted child. He is too young to play these games and experience the inevitable teasing he will receive. However, I know I am teaching him to ignore the teasing as ignorant comments. This falls into that category. It is an ignorant thing for Valve to do...

Thats kind of what they did, on a controlled basis. To do it on a large scale would (seem to) be impossible and it would impact the quality of their own search results.

The last few paragraphs raise an interesting point. Do we really care about the "voice", or do we just want relevant search results? I can't say I care, I only ever use Google. But lol @ "BING Is Now Google"... on to one "voice" I guess...

+1 this. What techie / handyman doesn't have a set of these in his tool box these days?

There are too many to quote, so I won't. But I will clarify: She was in a public place and should not be surprised there was a security camera recording her actions. I never said the location was private. Clearly, it was not. The images captured by this security camera are private...

I disagree. There IS a reasonable expectation that a corporation, security entity, municipality, TSA, will keep data collected via surveillance cameras private. PERIOD. The cameras are not there to provide entertainment. We race down a slippery slope or over a cliff when we assume otherwise...

There is a reasonable expectation that images collected on security cameras remain private. This is NO different than a TSA employee publishing images of your "junk". The hypocrisy here amazes me. Why is it acceptable to release one form of private data but not another? The question here is...

+1 this. No surprise here. My 2 year old can operate my smart phone (navigate the YouTube application and load his learning games) but can't zip his own coat or isn't potty trained.

This isn’t new. The Saturn EV1 (1990’s) was inductively charged, though you did have to push a paddle into a slot. Inductive charging IS inefficient, but an argument can be made that it is safer. No potentially exposed terminals and less likely to draw an electrical arc...

"Camping like bitches"....hilarious.

What he said. Work email contains confidential information. When you leave a company, you turn over your computer, ID, keys, phone, etc. Why wouldn't you expect to have to surrender confidential email and contacts? Now, that being said, the article states it was "done by mistake". THIS is...

I think it depends on the business. Restaurants need to turn the tables as fast a possible to keep the volume up. When was the last time you ate 2 dinners? Adding dessert in the last 45 minutes doesn’t cut it. It’s different in coffee shops. It’s all about keeping you...

I am no fan of Apple, but their actions are in line with the business purpose and ultimae function of a support forum. Support forums serve three primary purposes. 1. Reduce the load on technical support phone lines and live chat. (e-help is cheaper than people) 2. Feed data to behind the...

My wife was one of the lucky ones. She was burned (like grabbing a really hot cup of coffee burned) by her IPOD classic while driving in the car. Out of nowhere, it heated up and developed a dime size brown spot on the front of the unit, lower right corner. It was at least 3 to 4 years old at...
