Remember how Apple captured a generation of users by concentrating on getting their computers into schools? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
One trend that I haven't heard a peep about is how mothers and grandmothers are using their iPhones and iPads to play with their kids. I'm not talking grade-school children, but babies under a year old. I have yet to see a parent do this (play with their baby) with a non-iOS device.
So corporatesales@web-seo-proposals.in got the following reply:
The good news - doctors visit yesterday, and got the results from my latest labs. It turns out that going off that evil blood pressure medication was a smart move - my bp is lower now than when I was on it. He asked what I was doing, and I told him that every once in a while I would stop and remember to just "clear my head and RELAX!!! NOW!!!! DAMMI!!!
Bring Back the 40-hour Work Week
Looks like I struck a nerve with that one
(Yes, that's my "other" account. I got tired of people going "Dude!" in their replies.)
Thanks for the feedback. The only "case studies" I found were limited to really small potatoes - like "every $ spent generated $5 of revenue" - but the totals were risible - something that didn't justify the time, even at a fraction of the minimum wage (not to mention that revenue != profit. If your profit margin was < 20%, you were losing money - and even at 20%, what's the point of changing 4 quarters for a dollar?)
One site boasted of a 4,400% net return. Sounds good, until you look at what it was. $30 ad spend to sell a dog for $1,400. Not exactly something you can repeat on a daily basis. Twice a year if you're lucky (and the dog's not). And no follow-up on how much it cost to sell the next dog (a year later, despite updates to other stats in the "study", that figure wasn't - so it's safe to guess that it was a one-shot affair, and that any money spent after just inflated the original cost).
We've all encountered those "web designers" who claim that you need facebook, twitter, whatever "social media web integration". And yet, we all know that you can buy facebook fans for as low as 500 for a buck, that you can buy twitter followers, you can buy google+ friends, you can buy web traffic to give any site a temporary artificial boost and make it look like the social media gimmick is working its magic
But where are the hard statistics?
Which reminds me, what about his buddy-buddy Oral "Give me $6 million or God is going to call me home" Roberts?
Trust is a funny thing
. When braking on dry or wet roads your stopping distance will be about the same as with conventional brakes.
You should allow for a longer stopping distance with ABS than for conventional brakes when driving on gravel, slush, and snow. This is because the rotating tire will stay on top of this low traction road surface covering, and effectively "float" on this boundary layer.
A non ABS braked vehicle can lock its tires and create a snow plow effect in front of the tires which helps slow the vehicle. These locked tires can often find more traction below this boundary layer.
Snow under pressure sticks to ice better than frozen rubber does. You want the tire to stop rotating so it can build up a 1/2 layer of snow.
slippery ice covered roads already are quite covered by the computer in your existing car.
No, they're not. There's nothing quite like the OMG feeling of the stupid ABS system completely unlocking all 4 wheels as you approach a red light.
Leave him alone
If he wanted to be left alone, all he had to do was SHUT UP! Same as if Shuttlewirth doesn't want to be criticized, he should stop making stupid announcements that are a joke - like his latest brainfart about Ubuntu "out-innovating" Apple and Microsoft.
