If the brand is already known then puffing up the brand is a waste of time. Getting more products known and sold is the goal. The designed in California ad is just stupid.

The 1984 ad was definitely memorable but it totally blew it when conveying anything about computers. This new ad about things being designed in California is similar with less impact. The focus of the ads are on the people and not much on the devi…

Items priced out of the market won't ever be adopted widely. USB 3 might be all that anybody needs until USB 4. Thunderbolt requires chips in the cables. When cables fail due to the wires losing connection with the chips, Thunderbolt will ge…

When the iPad came out I was excited about it. I played with one and that enthusiasm faded. I still liked it but the interface wasn't impressive enough for me to buy one. Since I'm not wealthy enough to just plop down money for the next expensive …

Thirty years ago Sony meant something in the audio equipment world. It is interesting that it is rare for me to see any dedicated audio equipment in anybodies house these days. I've got an old receiver and power amp that I never use. All of my audio…

Fairtax.org Nobody pays taxes until they purchase something at retail. No businesses pay taxes either. Nobody below the poverty line pays any taxes. The actual rates go down for most people with this plan. The only people who pay 3% more with the tr…

Someone please explain to me how offering bonds that must be repaid to the buyers will get the $100 billion in value that is parked overseas back to the USA without being taxed.

What is it that requires a Mac Pro other than movie editing? I see that Dell and HP sell monster machines with Xenon processors. There are movie editing programs that work on Windows and Linux. Just this month Red Shark released its Lightwork…

Until the stock market returns to evaluating stocks purely on their dividends it will continue to be a casino. Wouldn't it be more fun to just go to a casino on the days you're feeling lucky?

US production would be a way to prevent such big mistakes. Even just US assembly would be better than nothing. When is the US assembly plant for the unnamed icomputer going to be ready?
