Can someone remove this spammer MadHedge? What an idiot. This guy is pasting the same comments on all MSFT related articles.

The iPhone: Lessons on Industry Pricing Power

I am waiting for a $49 iPhone for the holidays, or may be buy one iPhone for $99 and get one free offer from AT&T. What idiots! People were eager to get an iPhone because it was a rare gadget in July 2007. It slowly became a mainstream phone with release of 3G in June 2008 and price reduced to $199. Now it becomes a bulk commodity with $99 price range. Didn't everyone see this phenomenon with Moto Razr phone four years ago. Demand for iPhone will drop with this price cut because of this psychological issue. What's the big deal if every Tom, Dick and Harry has an iPhone? People would rather use a Pre, RIM, Nokia thin phone or something else. Apple has made a Porche into a Toyota within two years and this is going to hurt them badly. In the same argument, why not reduce Macbook prices to match Dell, HP and Toshiba. Am I missing something here?

Half Of All Display Ad Clicks Are Worthless

Great story Erick. This is the biggest hoax that Google has unleashed on advertisers and small business units. Majority of search users click on ads to just get information and they have no intention to buy the product or link that they clicked. This is a known fact to Google and advertisers. I have seen many instances wherein my product link was clicked and there was no sale. Small business units should be tracking the ad clicks carefully every month and then terminate Google's ad contract if the sales figures do not match the number of clicks. People are so foolish to keep paying money to Google for this biggest business hoax ever played. I hope analytics companies tear this mystery shrouding Google's revenue growth from ad clicks. Small business units are better off placing ads in local city websites and print materials - the returns are justified.

You have to think that the biggest bulls on Google are just plain idiots - the time has come to unearth the truth on why Google's stock is going to have a hard landing in 2008. It's funny to read analysis from Google bulls saying that the stock will hit $900 very soon. How long can these idiots spin such stories? We need more Ericks to give a rational look at this ad click hoax. I am sorry for Yahoo for being drawn into this comparison with Google. Yahoo as a company is doing fine with their excellent web portal business model and analysts kept comparing Google's stock price and results with Yahoo. Quarter after quarter these idiots drove Yahoo's price down based on Google's hoax and now they want to partner with Yahoo. What a gross injustice Wall Street has committed on Yahoo. Google knows that their heady days are coming to an end and the founders are creating another round of hype using Android, Open Office and YouTube. Can YouTube deliver any financial incentive to Google? I doubt if any single user will pay Google any penny if they start charging for uploading videos. YouTube can attract millions of eyeballs with zero revenue - Wall Street should wake up to this reality. If Google starts cluttering YouTube with ads., then users will look elsewhere. What a great hoax...
