Well, it is really a bad name per my understanding.

To keep up with the trend, they should try "iOffice", "FaceOffice",

kidding... It is really a nice interview to read. I am in a big company. There are tons of smart people. However, the company keeps going south. If the management team were as frank/honest as Sculley, we should have been better.

The popularity of JFK is due to rosy pictures painted by main stream medias. Many of those have a tie to Kennedy families. I have challenged many of my friends why JFK is a good president. Nobody knows. Brainwashing is happening in USA!

typo... being rich is not a sin

I am not rich, having 2 kids and living in a 40 yr old tiny townhouse. But, I do not envy rich people. It is not a sin to be a rich man/woman if he/she works hard and legally.

It is very dangerous to fight in classes based on wealth. This is the fundamental idea of Communism.

Remember... "Eventually, socialists/communists run out of other peoples' money" and "Top 10% pays 70% income taxes in US."

I have been working in a DSL company a few years back. For DSL systems, the AM signals could be an issue since they can couple into the long twist pair lines and then, be fed into receiver. So far, I got the idea to utilize the long wires (phone lines, power line, etc) to perform short range radio communications or sensors with other devices. Problems? Many. Overall, it is very hard to control, i.e. taking a lot of noise/interference and emitting a lot of energy (could affect other devices).

1) spatial domain: beamforming: make sure that the receiver, the transmitter, and the interferer are not aligned in a line. 3D: assume the interferer is on the ground. as long as one of the transmitter or the receiver is in the air/space, there is a good chance to use beamforming to improve reception.

2) narrow band or long code: Effectively, this is slowing down the data rate. In this way, the SINR for a message can be good enough.

I am not sure that your 'facts' are really facts!!!

> On top of my point, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may have been encouraged to lend to lower credit families, but the crisis would have happened even if they didn't exist because the other unregulated institutions went about it with much more gusto.

This is a big IF. It is not a fact! The fact is that F/F lowered their credit requirement so much that enables others to pursue the aggressive lending practice.

> Fannie and Freddie's subprime loans were shown to be on the more respectable end as opposed to the other banks who pushed their mortgage brokers to get loans no matter what the risk.

This is another myth but not fact.

> The only thing Fannie and Freddie really shows is that the government endorsed the practice, but the fat cats of Wall Street made Fannie and Freddie's bad loans look likes child's play.

Please update your information. Stop being brainwashed by media. The bailout for F/F will be 400b. It is a big mess larger than all the money to C, BAC, AIG, ... combined. http://sanantonio.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/2009/02/16/daily26.html

90% of the rest of the world might hate USA as well. Look at those guys who pretended to by Canadians when traveling abroad!
