Comment 8 Years Old (Score 2) 237

'The oldest drive in the list is the Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB drive from 2006. A drive that is almost 8 years old!

I recently had a 1.5TB drive die and it was still new enough to be under warranty. Seagate shipped a 2TB as a replacement.

Sign that a company is jumping or is about to jump the shark: Build a huge lavish HQ.

Although, Google didn't mind when SGI did it.. they got a great deal on the real estate.

Apple actually has revenue and cash in the bank.

What do you say about a small company like LinkedIn putting up brand new buildings instead of just moving into existing vacant buildings in the area.

Note, a high Australian dollar means that we should be paying less for our imports not more!. Sadly we aren't. The excuse from the retailers has been that they originally imported goods when the AUS dollar was low and anyway the dollar to go back to "normal" at some point soon. Of course, the ignore the fact that we've have had a strong AUS dollar for a number of years now.

You do realize that there is more to it than just the exchange rate, right?

Import duty. Private copying levy. Etc.
