No no no that would never happen. I'm sure the plan would be to redirect it to circle on itself so it gets dizzy and falls down ... or form a giant vortex that sucks the entire earth into another dimension.

This may make me sound old but before Google was around the Internet was much much smaller and search engines pretty much SUCKED. Searching was (and sometimes still is) a skill/art. Sure search engines and directories got incrementally better at first and then Google blew them all out of the water.

Feel free to use another search site. Nobody is forcing you to use Google.

You just don't get it. They need to keep the wealthy folks going so they can employ the poor. If we run out of rich employers we will all be out of work. ;-)

Only for the shares we purchased. Unfortunately we the taxpayers were never asked about the purchase or the sale.

He represents the company and his job is to protect shareholder value. ... I just purchased a new car, and it was a Ford.

Hmm. I think you may have illustrated a point.

He is technically right and morally wrong.

Let the shareholders decide by vote. We the consumers (and the taxpayers) can then decide if we want to continue to buy their products, bail them out, or invest as shareholders. This is a decision that will have very long term effects on GM that will affect them long after the CEO is gone. I know it will affect my future buying decisions.

Spammers still do the 1px thing? Who downloads images by default? .... probably most people not commenting on this thread.

I am no Apple fan but I tend to agree just for the fact that he can take it to the store and get help if/when you are not around.

Unless you have a very large library in various formats. iTunes for me is one of the worst applications I have ever battled with and I doubt they will ever make it suitable for folks like that me that feel Foobar 2000 is a great app.

Uh, I think you have that backwards.

We don't see power companies charging me more for using particular devices. Is it because they can't tell or because the service should be usage agnostic?

In the end the customer pays so they will just pay twice. First to the ISP and then second to the content provider who's costs go up because they have to pay ISPs not to cripple their traffic. If they go through with this extortion then monthly rates for Netflix, Hulu, etc will be pushed up.

I agree the specs were probably horrible but they should have not taken the money if they couldn't do it. Unfortunately that is not how the big IT industry works.

It sure seems like someone is always willing to make a mountain out of mole hill when it comes to Tesla. I know this kind of stuff comes along with success but at some point I have to wonder if there is some big money (oil or auto) behind this stuff.

I did too! . I think I finally tossed mine in the garbage a few months ago.

Overpriced? Probably for big shops. Don't forget MS typically gets a piece of the action for every "device" that connects remotely to their servers. For smaller shops that don't have the infrastructure already in place hosted VDI *might* be the right call.

The industry trend is to virtualize as much as possible throughout the datacenter and stack. In the long run it will have some interesting implications but it won't be cheap in the short run.
