    • The WiMax Deal Is a Disaster: How Google Got Snookered [view article]
      Communications infrastructure is not a stagnant business in most parts of the world. While we a lucky to have cable and dsl available to us most of the world is not so fortunate. WiMAX has the potential to become the new de facto standard when setting up new "last mile" infrastructure so long as it is more cost effective than laying wires. While it may never be a huge success in modern cites it has the potential to gobble up 100% market share elsewhere which would make it a huge success. It seems like they need to adapt their strategy to the places where they are far more competitive i.e.: places where wires are planning to be laid. May 12 06:48 PM
    • Where Does Oil Go from Here? [view article]
      I find comparing natgas and oil to be a futile endeavor. Why not throw plutonium,uranium,wood... oil,strength of sun rays and the wind into your chart while your at it? they are all forms of energy right? oil is unique only because our present and near term infrastructure demands it to function and our infrastructure does not change as quickly as the price of a barrel of oil. from what I understand most natgas that is discovered is either burnt off or pumped right back into the ground where it came from, I have never heard the same in respect to crude. I can not go fill my car or oil heater with natural gas if the cost per BTU is better on it tomorrow.
      Is there a correlation between natgas and crude prices? maybe, but it could have more to do with the fact that the industry's that produce them share cost increases (labor, taxes, equipment and suppliers).       May 12 06:19 PM
