me too, but I guess they feel they cannot afford any missteps. I still enjoy Marc Benioff presentations. He's very engaging to watch, though not nearly as good as Jobs in terms of storytelling. I feel Jobs honed the craft more though

I'm guessing investors understand that there's high probability of the numbers being 'optimistic'.

your friend should make a blog post about that. People like that should be exposed.

It could just be me, but the usecases they're trying to solve for always seem... out of touch from reality. Either they live in their own bubbles where their lives revolve around constant shopping, traveling, throwing parties, and doin

The music video is great too... the slow build up of the song towards the 3:10 minute mark, with him running towards you. Love it. So thankful I was old enough to be around to watch it on MTV.

Yup. You can actually buy several European airlines with that kind of money. For example, you can buy KLM Air france for less than $3B. It is a profitable business that does $30B in sales and $1B in profit. (and has been profitable since f

yeah the more people who use it means less competitive edge you have. Benefits get devalued. And you're back to square one.

100% agree. As someone who used both Mac and PC for 30+ years, and still use both, Mac OS (and iOS) aren't very intuitive. Lots of hidden functions. The way they organize settings is tough to find. It's always a struggle.

I guess we'll find out if this will turn out to be another rash hire in another 9 months. I'm actually surprised at this move.

agreed. IMHO, last good BMWs were E90 and F10s. That's when they still cared about craftsmanship even in areas not visible to customers.

"if you've ever driven a German car, you'll realize that the car was built for engineers and not for end users " cracks me up. I once leased a BMW for 3 years. By the time I returned the car, I still didn't what a

It's the 25% VAT. Pre VAT, it's ~$685. With state sales tax of 8% where I live, the base would cost me $648. So not a huge difference.

That's the magic threshold. Can't complain about the non-upgradable 8GB RAM at that price.

To clarify, I meant, model with Pro chip, not just Macbook Pro name. For example, up until MacBookPro M2, MacBookPro M2 came with M2 Pro chip. However, starting with M3, Apple lowered the MacBookPro MSRP to $1599, but its base configuration

$200 price bump across the board. The cheapest 16" is now $2699 and 14" Pro $2199. I think it's a fair price considering M2Pro 14" was $1999 (though it was discounted) only had 512GB and 16GB RAM.

What made system 7 and 8 worse in some respect was when it crashed, it crashed hard without warning With windows the crash was progressive so you have time to save and prepare. I also have fond memories of windows 2000. It was rock steady

Screens are getting bigger and bigger, yet they make things smaller and harder to click on. Back in the days when it was common for Macintosh to have 640x480 screens (or even smaller), they still fully visible window controls that were impo

I can forgive the circle screen in a Mini Cooper just because it's a heritage thing. What I don't like is, not having physical controls for heated seats, temperature controls, and heated steering wheels. Mini made all those touc
