In the end, it's still about companies with tons of patents vs. newer companies with few patents. They all act according to their self-interest. Let's not kid ourselves and think they truly believe in what's right or wrong.

People here just don't get what GOOG is doing. This is an experiment. The whole point is to find maybe 10k unltra rich people in the whole world who'd buy this, and then monitor their behavior in order to understand more about the "1%", so G…

A lot of people dislike Browett but if you go to any Apple retail store nowadays, you'll know that he actually was right in the need to cut people, just poor timing and execution. Simple put, there's way too many employees standing there in…

The situation at the Bellevue MSFT store is pretty bad. Only 2 Surface Pro demo there, with the rest Surface RT. There's constantly people checking on the Surface Pro but never really a 'line' formed ever. Probably because they sold out, but it's …
