JP Morgan? Yea, they know numbers.

I could never work out why Microsoft are so USELESS when it come to search. Why is it so hard? I guess I should not be surprised. This IS the company that thought the internet wouldn’t catch on (remember the Microsoft Network?).

$50 a month for Napster?!?!?

JD you need an editor. $5 a month, not $50.

Windows 7 might turn out OK, but the economy won’t. The Federal gov’t and its favorite contractors might buy new machines with Win7, but a large number of businesses and individuals will have to make do with what they have now.

This is how music should be sold. With reduced distribution costs it should become a amenity. You pay so much for all you can eat.

Dvorak says “This is the tech business – you take a look at what’s going on and you can kinda figure out what’s gonna happen.”

- That’s the same research system used by Goldman-Sachs!
