Apple Should Now Institute the Executive Weigh-In

wow...just have to comment on this. First, you cannot quantify health by just weight. Is anyone else worried about the implication of reporting personal information even if it is health related. Could we ask them to submit there number of adult beverages, or how many fried foods they ate. Check yes or no for tobacco? Smoked or smokeless? How many speeding tickets do you have? How fast? What kind of car? Tire pressure?

How personal do you want to get? I could see it going much further...

Its a slippery slope, there is so much that goes into peoples lives that can contribute or detract from their performance at work. The Jobs situation has everyone on high alert, but don't start throwing out half baked ideas that could do more harm than good. Being a CEO should not make you subject to a microscope of this scale.

Value Investors Could Do Far Worse Than Apple

TimboM: Thanks for your advice, but I get paid by the word. Its all about dragging out conclusions and running in circles in the blogging business. Haha, just playing...thanks for reading.

Microsoft: Still Master of the Operating System Domain

AppleFinland--Please provide a link for your supposed information where Mac is out selling PC's 4 to 1. So percentage-wise you claim that Apple is selling nearly 80% of the computers sold? That has never been the case, ever. Perhaps you are referring to sales growth?

From the 8/21 WSJ article titled, "Microsoft Enlists Jerry Seinfeld In Its Ad Battle Against Apple"--"Apple's Macintosh computer business is dwarfed by Microsoft's share of the PC software market, but it has been gaining on its larger rival, accounting for 7.8% of new PC shipments in the U.S. in the second quarter, compared with 6.2% during the same period the prior year, according to research firm IDC. The vast majority of the rest of the market is made up of Windows PCs."
