That's because you're thinking like an engineer. Think like an accountant instead. By combining HR, marketing and logistics they can save some overhead. I don't know if that is their plan or not, but many companies do just that. It might not't save huge amounts, but it will save them some money.

Comment Re:You can have my PC (Score 2) 399

I think you are missing the point. "Post-PC" does not mean the end of the personal computer. I use computing devices everyday. I have a desk top, laptop, an iPod, an iPad, an X360, a Wii, and a cell phone. Only two of those are what we commonly think of as a "PC." That is what it means to be living in a "post-PC" world: utilizing computing power in ubiquitous, non-obvious ways, away from what we think of as a "computer".

You can have a religion without a god or gods. Religion as I understand it is putting our behavior in line with fundamental principles based on something greater than ourselves. Your argument is somewhat of a Straw man.

Now as far as a belief in God or gods, while there is no "scientific" evidence that God exists (as far as I know), and none that shows he doesn't exist, basing our behavior on one premise or the other is somewhat a show of faith in either God or "science". (I put quotes around "science" because science does not concern itself with the existence God.) So to be an Atheist and posit there is no God is, in a sense to posit that man's communal intellect is greater than individual belief and is somewhat religious.

*I understand that some consider themselves atheists and live their lives agnostic. This is not to whom my comments are addressed. My comments are in regard for those that feel they need to tell people that religion is bad, and yet have behaviors that are based on equally irrational beliefs. This is a discussion, after all on the religious aspects of fanboyism. For every fanboy, there is a hater. And haters are just as religious as fanboys, in my view.
