Don't yell as much at your employees, throw a chair once in a while.

They want to channel all donations through them, and take a small % of the donations. And manage the donors. For some reason, all the major foundations hate that idea, especially the part where they give up the donors to the Gates Foundation. Gee, I wonder where that behavior came from.

I'm still eagerly waiting for people to show me the "innate value" of the dollar. Something that does not require me to go back to the times where conversion to gold was guaranteed.

Excuse me Sir. Your shoe is ringing.

Is ANYONE in a rush to make their consumer products invisible?

Unsurprisingly, there are mechanism for both of these. And they don't need junk DNA - bacteria can evolve just fine and they have virtually no junk DNA .

I was once called by a Bloomberg reporter who wanted a comment on the movement of a particularly thinly traded security that I owned. I asked her how she knew to call me, and she replied that I ran news and analytics on that specific ticker regularly on my Bloomberg terminal.

I've never thought the people at M$ were stupid, or incapable. Their problem is that the company's run by marketers instead of engineers. I'm with you; this guy was just venting his frustrations.

It works until you steal MY phone.

After that you will spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.

If the carriers had a service for the owner to remotely brick and unbrick the phone as well as transfer ownership (with the ability to brick) to another person this would be a non-issue.
