  • Will Mobile Use Challenge This Tech Titan? [View article]
    My Son only uses his laptop for Skype, everything else he does on his smartphone.

    Keep in mind how fast tech sector moves.

    Google, Facebook, desktop computers, HP, Dell - all are the Pet Rocks and Cabbage Patch dolls of the future.

    "Nike profit drops 12% as futures orders slow."

    What!?!? Say it ain't so!

    "Car makers use "self-registrations" to boost EU sales."

    A logical second step to channel stuffing.

    Recovery, green shoots, mustard seeds...and all that.

    "Tempurpedic to buy Sealy"

    Great, another monopoly. Now Tempurpedic will make crappy soft saggy Sealy's to push people to buy Tempurpedic; layoffs coming.

    The last Java update had a forced installation of Google Chrome as the default browser. No, there was no opt-out, it just did it.

    Department of Justice? We have a Department of Justice? And they are going after BP but can't seem to find Jon Corzine?

    FedEx issues profit warning: just in time for Fall. Pay attention to this barometer, more of this coming as you can fudge and jigger NFP but it is hard to do it for shipping actual packages.

    AMR: I'm beginning to see the benefits of declaring bankruptcy; you don't have to honor contracts. Sign me up! (A real tragedy - this and the whole industry).

    Smithfield profits down:

    It can't be from bacon, which has gone meteoric from $2.50 a pound to $5.69 for 12 oz. (yes, getting hard to buy a POUND of bacon. I won't buy the 12 oz. packages and just told Farmland Foods this).

    Quantum computing:

    I love scientists; they really believe that physics and hardware can make things secure when used by human beings (and Schroedinger's Cat).

  • Winding down state-sponsored mortgage finance will be easier said than done, as Fannie Mae purchased $81.9B mortgages in July, nearly double the amount from a year ago. The growing business for the GSEs is another signal housing is rebounding, but exactly how do politicians expect to replace them? [View news story]
    Fannie Mae, reverse mortgages, bankers and politicians blowing another bubble to get their bonuses and get elected.

    If they were feeding our children and grand-children into a meat grinder in front of our eyes we would stop them: shoot them, hang them, behead them.

    Somehow - we allow ten to twenty years of our somnambulance and their legerdemain to pass - and the same thing happens to our children and grandchildren in needless wars, on the decaying streets of our cities, and in the death of the middle class - we re-elect the charlatans, and allow the vampires to roam free.

    Where is Jon Corzine?

  • Ben Bernanke Channels The Dalai Lama [View article]
    "Debt to solve a debt crisis...free money to banks to increase their profits and screw over retirees and savers..enemas and laxatives for diarrhea and dehydration..."

    The Swami Bernank is a genius.

    Issac is not going to help the corn crop, too late.

    Maybe some Fall crops, but not corn.

    The rest is SSDD, worm turning, Fall swoon for the cotton candy markets if the Bernanke doesn't announce QE3 at Jackson Hole.

    "GM to stop Volt production"

    GM must have spent millions just on advertising and only 10,000 sales? Wow. I wouldn't be upset if it weren't taxpayer money they are wasting. Can you say "Solyndra"?

    "Manufacturers plea for tax cuts"

    Better infrastructure and education? Please. Companies don't want to hire American workers and pay them a livable wage, they just want the tax cut.

    Time for GM to sue Ford for copying the "truck" concept; tailgate, cargo area, big engine and all that...

    Agree.

    Let them compete with customers, not in kangaroo courts.

    "Drought to lead to massive losses for insurers"

    Er...losses for taxpayers who don't farm or collect insurance premiums. And after bailing out AIG, we bail out insurers who are supposed to collect premiums to cover loss? Isn't this theft? (Yes).

    "Samsung shares plunge after patent loss to Apple"

    I fail to see how a rectangular touch screen and icons are anything patentable in 2012. There were touch screens and icons in 1992. A really ridiculous bunch of lawyering and judicial punity that only encourages monopolies. Did Apple invent the question mark, too? (uh-oh).

    "Opel denies job cuts"

    Yeah sure. The economies of the world are NOT recovering and everybody knows it. Job cuts are coming, and have been occuring, and will occur. Equities are floated while people are sunk. Brilliant.
