You invest in something that can create wealth.
You speculate in something whose market value might change.
LEGO sealed off in a tub doesn't produce wealth. Speculating in the LEGO market isn't investing.
LEGO does have value, because it is fun and educational, but only in the quantities that you are actually using.
A company that's come close to abolishing Reply All is the global information and measurement firm Nielsen. On its screens, the button is visible but inactive, covered with a fuzzy gray. It can be reactivated with an override function on the keyboard. Chief Information Officer Andrew Cawood explained in a memo to 35,000 employees the reason behind Nielsen's decision: eliminating "bureaucracy and inefficiency."'
I hope somebody replied to all, quoting this entire memo and putting "OK" at the bottom.
I've never understood why consoles don't simply have more RAM. Even in 2006, it was cheap enough to put in more than what the PS3 and 360 have. Right now, you can get 16GB of DDR3 RAM for $50 from Newegg, which is obviously higher than what manufacturers pay. Will it make the system cost a bit more to produce? Yes. Would it cost that much more to produce? Probably not.
$25 x 70 million units = $1.75 billion
Of course it needs internet access! How else do you think it will keep its anti-virus software current?

They need a mechanism like a chess clock . When a candidate presses his button, his microphone turns off and his opponent's clock starts running. If a candidate runs out of time on his clock, then he can't talk for the rest of the debate.
Replacing HFCS with sugar isn't going to reduce consumption.
Isn't there a marketing danger to naming your product almost "paper weight"?
You have to insure the car, and you probably want to insure the house, because that would be crippling if it burned down.
You don't have to insure cars either. You have to insure against the liability of damage done with a car.
I would support my son taking an iPhone-building internship. Foxconn conditions might suck, but I'm not fundamentally opposed to students doing physical work.
No, if we, as natural animals, cause the extinction of another species it is because it was unfit to survive and should be left extinct. Human beings are not outside nature and its methods of determining which species are worthy of survival.
So is if we, as natural animals, cause the resurrection of another species, it is because we deemed it fit to survive. Who are you to stop the natural processes of scientists?
So now that we're past plastic plates, here we really go to Star Trek's Replicator. All that remains now is the ever growing list of "objects supported".
I'm waiting for Paramount to sue a person for printing pirate copies of a toy replicator.
Never trust a reactor over 30.
