Consumer Credit: Precipitous Drop in Credit Card Offers

this is good news despite some initial misgivings. credit card companies, in general, deserve to go out of business. they are nothing but registered loan sharks. as hard as it may seem to do, people should wean themselves from credit cards and into debit cards,

if you need impetus, just add up how much you spent on interest and other charges during the year and think what you could do with that extra money.

How Apple's Market Share Will Propel Stock to $500, Part 1

advice on $400,000,000 or so revenues from somebody with 17 years experience, who doesn't know the difference between "throw" and "through" is very suspect.

Apple, Microsoft, Google: Cash vs. Cash

net cash is what counts. if you have $10 and owe nothing then you have $10. if you owe $8 then you can add (subtract). this makes your charts meaningless.

Research In Motion: A Smart Call, Long Term

comparing aapl with rimm is like comparing apples and blackberries.

rimm is still a one trick pony. cell phones.

aapl has a broad portfolio of products to fall back on with new ideas coming forward on a regular basis. rimm has to wait for aapl to come up with a new idea and then try to integrate it into their system.

Google Releases a Nuke, Apple Won’t Win This Fight

an article written by a kindergarten dolt who offers a t-shirt for information. at least increase the offer to a "sham wow" that can be used for something besides a dust rag.

Does True Competition Among Credit Card Issuers Exist?

credit card companies compete? what a joke. next try writing some fluff about attila the hun. in concert, they all raised their rates while borrowing money from the government for next to zero.

as far as transparency is concerned, i'm certain that mr angry banker can read the journal of medicine and start performing brain surgery.

as far as the credit card companies shrinking, only people strung out on debt for survival should be paying usurious interest rates. like smoking cigarettes, the public should be weaned off credit cards. it's painful for a while but healthy in the long run.

disclosure: reformed credit card junkie. been clean for almost
2 1/2 years and only use debit cards.

At Long Last, An iPhone Deal with China Unicom

Credit Card Act of 2009: Thanks for Nothing, Congress

credit card companies should all go out of business as they are just drug dealers in disguise.

knowing that this will not happen, any company that accepts a credit card should be forced to accept a debit card also. this is directed to auto rental companies as they make their own rules. i don't want a credit card. a debit card is like paying with cash and allows internet bill paying. it will help the economy and kill profligate spending.

Blackberry’s 26 Advantages over iPhone

despite all your posturing, the proof of the pudding is in the price of the stock.

aapl is twice the price of rimm but is only off about 35 or so points from the high, whereas rimm is down about 60 points from the high.

tough to argue with those numbers. rimm is still trying to contact dr ehrlich to find that magic bullet.

Eric Schmidt: Serving on Apple's Board for the Schwag

either your post is much much above my head or it's what i think it is. an uneducated harangue.

"schwag" is defined as marijuana.
"swag" is defined as gifts or trinkets.

which is it?

eric schmidt doesn't need charity and to nitpick at this shows your shallowness.

Roger McNamee - Judgment Day on Pre vs. iPhone

round the clock cutesy ads from sprint bashing apple don't seem to cut it as defects from the sprint network far exceeded initial estimates.

the sprint bankroll will need a lot more help to justify those expenditures. tough time to borrow money.

Forget the Feds, Apple Is Doing Just Fine Wrecking the Wireless Business

apple's poor decision regarding mac computers is so bad that they are the most profitable computer manufacturer in the usa (includes hp) and its computer growth continues unabated. pick on somebody else with another lame comment.

Preview of Palm's Pre: Being Good Is Not Always Good Enough

i still can't get reliable telephone connections in nyc on a sprint phone. everything else offered from pre is on an "if come basis." as lacking as att is as a service, it is light years better than sprint. verizon is still the best for phone connections.

apple has about 30 billion reasons to stay ahead of the pack. sprint / palm is still on line at the soup kitchen.

Amazon Gaining Share on iTunes

it's just a question of time as to 'when' not 'if' that amazon's prices and apple's prices close the gap to virtually zero. then the purchasing experience will rely on delivery and content.
