Re: NYT: How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work
Understood. It just seems that a company that made $108B last year could do a little better by the Chinese workers, but my understanding is limited in this matter. I sincerely appreciate the Chinese...

Re: NYT: How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work
sk, handle, as I mentioned above I'm glad the Chinese workers are making money, and I appreciate the unstoppable trend toward globalism. I'm just wondering if Apple could be considered robber...

Re: NYT: How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work
sk and Florian, I read the Smith article before I posted, and the NYT later. I must say I find the case of the ability of the Chinese to gear up and down depressingly believeable.
But hanging...

Re: NYT: How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work
Okay, so on high-tech products the Chinese have the edge. My question is about the introductory price of the iPad (around $500?) compared to the laborers working 12 hours on tea and biscuits. What...

Re: Mitt Romney Hit Piece
wtf?
My fave down-and-dirty go-to poll info is the RCP graphic in the middle of the page. Before Iowa, Newt had commanding leads in NC and Florida, while Mitt had NH.

Re: Mitt Romney Hit Piece
As I said originally, he's the consummate bullshitter, and America is hungry for a narrative of getting back on the right path, and Newt's an ideas-man, hee hee. I just think he has the best chance,...

Re: Mitt Romney Hit Piece
Here's a piece suggesting if Newt outlasts Santorum and Perry he could quash Romney. But it would be at the cost of taking a chance on helping ruin Romney while falling short of the nomination. I...

We could go dumpster diving and take a second look at DVs that didn't get the attention they deserved at the time they were posted.

I get what you mean that Bob has moved on. But what I don't think you get is that he does care about us. I think he is appreciative of our appreciation, hence all the Commenter Klatches with Aryeh...

Re: What should we disqus here?
We could work it backward and invite people we know from other sites...and that could feed to Disqus. Not terribly feasible, I know.
