    Yes, I've read his bio. Having worked with "superstars" myself I'm aware of how many of these people cultivate their reputations in business and how very aggressive ladder-climbers make it to the top of their industries... usually by stepping on the 'dead bodies' of their opponents and strategically blaming failures on underlings. The advertising game is and always will be cutthroat.

    For a fun take on how it is, see the musical (or the 1967 movie) "How to Succed in Business Without Really Trying."
    Very few famous entrepreneurs does that not describe. And in fits one familiar one fittingly.

    This ad guy has nothing to do with the pricing of Apple's products. If anything I think Schiller has the most influence over product configurations and price points.
    I know. Do you have two AI user accounts?

    Several people gave up their old ones after the switch from Huddler, I think. Not sure why, since the login bugs were sorted out in less than a week.

    That explains it. The comments box bugs are killing me. Like the one where it's impossibly to exit the quote box in Safari or mobile Safari, sometimes.

    Or if you want to flag a post, you'd better be sure since you can't dismiss the modal pop up.

    Tor Myhren isn't an entrepreneur. His career demonstrates he's an employee and corporate ladder climber.
