    [I honestly don't know how I passed Grade 8 theory when I was 13 and made it up to Grade 6 piano (practical)]

    ...A pity these lessons don't cover how to be a multi-billion dollar rock star/ DJ/ dance music producer.

    Or advice (heh. "vice" -- pun unintended) on which drugs to fuel creativity without ending up in rehab several times a year.

    Yeah non-profits make money, they're just supposed to put all the profit back into the company. That is, operate at break even [assuming cash reserves covered by whatever policy] -- extra cash, spend on the goals of the organisation -- supporters want to see that money go "to good use". Dare I mention Greenpeace as an example [flame-baiting, I know] -- if you're donating money, you want to see little dinghys in front of big ass Japanese whaling ships. Not reading an annual report of an increasing profit hoard.

    ...............



    Both Apple and Dell built Bluetooth into their personal computer systems several years ago as a way to link wireless devices and cut the chord on peripherals through Bluetooth wireless keyboards and mice. Meanwhile, Bloomberg cites the Washington-based Bluetooth Special Interest Group, which says more than 1 billion devices worldwide are equipped with Bluetooth technology.



    With its suit, WRF is reportedly seeking monetary damages and a court order barring the sale of products that use its patented technology. CSR in January countersued the foundation, court papers show.



    Looks like this could be one of the causes why AAPL got knocked back to $93 on Wednesday trading...

    If I had a few spare grand I'd SO buy into Apple at this point- I think the stock will double in two years. Speaking as someone who sold at $20 a few years ago
