How long before HTC starts the trademark infringement action?

Tumblr isn't a photo sharing site, it is a micro blogging platform. Flickr has photos and I think video (upload). Tumblr has photos, video, audio, and finally text, which further breaks down in to posts, quotes, and links.

So please, tell me how a five day sprint to reskin Flickr is going to add all of those additional features.

So, to reorder your numbers a bit,

100m in projected revenue / 40m in cost of goods this year = 60m in profits. (40m is from wiki's original source, numbers are projected, so....)
1.1b market cap / 60m profit = Price/Earnings ratio of 18.

  P/E ratio for the S&P is 14.

It looks like it has high growth, that would push the numbers up. Huge risk / numbers are projections / I am doing the numbers on the fly without all of the accoutning number - would push the numbers down.

Yahoo is also sitting in a nice pile of cash 4 bil i think.

This was predicted back in the 1930s, too. How did that work out for them?

Don't we have ads on Bing? Don't we ads on Hotmail/Outlook.com? Don't we have ads on every service out there from Microsoft that's free? If you can't trust Google, you will never trust Microsoft either. Birds of a feather ...?

You might think that comment was "skeptical" or that it demonstrates your "critical thinking" but really, it was just plain ignorant. Based on this comment, one might reasonably assume you fall in with the kind of douchetards that yell out "42! Haha!" every time a mathematical discussion takes place.

To answer your question, you might start by reading the article. It talks about isotopes and geochemistry.

Then you could do some reading at the library to find out more about isotopes and geochemistry, and why these things are interesting and important. If you want to go further, you could take an undergraduate degree in geology, where you will learn all kinds of strange and wonderful things about the Earth, and how we can know about things that occurred billions of years ago.

It's quite... fascinating, how you can defend a monopoly and demonize the company that broke the monopoly, doing the very thing you just defended the monopoly for doing in the first place!

Apple entered the book market and competed against Amazon doing the very thing you laud Amazon for doing: they competed on price!

That's some highly potent fanboy fanaticism in action!

I'm not about to click all of the links in the article, which isn't much of an article, but unless they were colluding with these publishers to charge higher prices everywhere, I don't see a problem. If Apple's customers are such zealots that they won't consider other sources for their media, let them pay the prices.

Aside from being Apple, which you hate irrationally, what exactly is your complaint? What do you think Apple did that was wrong? They used an existing model, which is legal. They broke a monopoly, which is not only legal, but generally considered beneficial. They brought eBooks to more people.

And in the end, Amazon is still the top eBook seller, so Apple didn't even take a controlling share of the market. So what did they do wrong?

Amazon had a monopoly which they used to abuse the publishers. Apple made separate deals with each publisher (which is not collusion or price-fixing) which broke Amazon's monopoly.

This is exactly how the market is supposed to work. Where once there was one eBook provider, there are now four major providers. Apple is not even the biggest one! How can that be a monopoly or even a trust?

Seriously, how can you say something like this with a straight face? That's straight-up trolling.

Sounds like Amazon's monopoly was broken. What's the problem with that again?

Well I was going to say, "who gives a shit" followed by "I kill bullshit processes just because I'm a control freak, fuck the performance implications (good or bad)," but then I thought wait-- you don't understand what that output means or you wouldn't give a shit. This is something I learned not so long ago, so let me share.

It doesn't mean that 50% of your processor is being used and the other 50% isn't... Whenever your processor runs, it runs at 100% its capability always. That's how it works. When you see the statistic "CPU at 50%" it means it's only processing 50% of the time. So 50% of the time it could be computing something, it is, the other 50% it's twiddling its proverbial thumbs... Any process that uses additional percentage points is getting the full capabilities of the processor; at a time it's normally not being used. ... so should your computational needs be less than 100% of your computer's resources, then you are fine, and if anything it's under utilized. As a result there's no reason to stop processes (outside of concerns of power consumption).

p.s. You can kill the process; I have a mac (had windows worked there too) and kill the iTunes daemon... iPhone works fine. iTunes works fine.

A similar google service on my MacBook causes the keyboard to stutter every few hours and occasionally disables the camera until I reboot. There's a way to disable it, but I haven't bothered yet. However, the process is incredibly similar to this one for disabling applemobiledeviceservice on Windows.

Mac users don't complain because iTunes on Mac doesn't have this problem, or much of any problem that I've noticed. This is either because Apple doesn't know how or care to code for Windows, or because it's a conspiracy to get iPhone and iTunes users to buy Macs because "Windows is slow." In my opinion, it's probably a mixture. Apple just doesn't have as much incentive to provide a good Windows experience, so they don't bother, knowing that this will probably convert a few suckers to Mac.

Similarly, Google services don't seem to screw up Windows or Linux, and Google's MTP support for Mac (MTP is required for Nexus 4) is ridiculously minimal. It's an analogous situation. Vendors for system X don't care about system Y, news at 11.

The solution seems simple. Sell your iPhone to a Mac user, and buy an Android device. Why would you even buy an iPhone for Windows? I use a Mac and I still won't buy one.
