Dude, if Apple is liked and their brand loved even more, that $xxx million spent on solar there is nothing, even if it's declared a total loss. So, in theory, you can be a total capitalist and "waste money." My point was not to assume that

As someone said, these are bright people and will probably make it, if not they can still go back to college. But for 99.99% of "smart people," college is probably the best bet. Even if you had a few $million, that can go very easily over t

Not necessarily, it could very well be a PR trick. Going solar is trendy so they may have done it to get some press. It pays off but maybe in extra iPhone sales /brand building

Who cares why he made it? The internet is full of videos and posts mocking Jesus, Buddha and virtually every sect or religion or lack of religion out there. Also people mock fat people, skinny people, black, white, green and everyone in bet

The estimated cost projections for the bullet train project keep getting bigger. I've seen estimates as high as $68 billion Wait until it starts, it will at least double the initial projections. It sure makes you wonder if it's just payba

The carriers are also dying for a third major OS, but time will tell. Maybe the features Apple left out aren't as loved by common people as bloggers make them seem. Personally I'd want better battery life (who wouldn't) but would not buy a

Google needs to be harder on these manufacturers for the good of the consumers, the ecosystem, and ultimately the manufacturers as well. What will the "Android ecosystem" become if they create bigger and bigger incompatibilities and make d

Acer sells in US and prob in EU too.

If my guess is right and "Aliyun" is an Android fork, then cry me a river -- if Acer wants to sell an official Android device they shouldn't expect to make money selling gray market clones on the side. Lots of speculation from all of us,

I think he is looking for the next Zuckenberg to say: "give me $50k and here's 25% [of the next Facebook]. What, we need to incorporate?" but YC has done the initial steps.

"facebook integrated - no thank you apple, we want privacy" Who's we? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_statistics Personally I use it on a separate browser but wanted to point out that you (and me) are in the minority.

Looks pretty cool to me. As for specs some people love: I don't care much, provided everything works smoothly and seamlessly. (Fine tuning Apache and MySQL has saved me tons of cash by doing a lot more with the same hardware.) Now replace R

Why? Or just because 10MP has more pixels than a 7MP one? I doubt people could tell the difference between 7 million and 10 million pixels, unless you want to put it on a billboard

Oh, and how much net profit has Android yielded Google? Android has cost billions but what if Apple and Microsoft shared the mobile market and replaced the default SE with Bing or Yahoo? That was Google's worry and that's why they spent

But they have less cars, to take an example. Dead is dead was my point and in whatever country you live, you will deal with the cars, lions, tundra or whatever.

Life expectancy is not entirely medical and is not a particularly good way to compare countries. Consider that among the top causes of death in the US are "accidents" (predominantly motor vehicles) and suicide, both of which are anomalousl

When I talk to my wife or mother or boss over the phone, I just pick it up and talk. There is a reasonable expectation of privacy, and even if I was as smart as you to know how to encrypt things, 99% of people wouldn't know how to. So my

<start pathetic argument> I can't believe Apple is suing HP for making a computer with a keyboard, mouse and a monitor with round corners. Apple is a patent troll, suing instead of innovating</end android fanboi argument>

Apple won round one and really screwed HTC http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/20/us-htc-apple-paten... . It's not in HTC's interest to pick a fight will mighty Apple at all, so the best scenario for HTC would a deal with Apple. Apple

There is no Android vs iPhone here. At worst for Apple, they let HTC off the hook and continue against others, for as long as they can.

Beats Audio success is also due to need. I have two laptops with Beats Audio, and presumably they got a few bucks from each. When buying them I wondered if there's something special about the speakers and probably made me more likely to buy
