      Shakespeare on Semiconductors: Sail With the Tide
      Your quote was misquoted by the old Intersil ("There are tides in the affairs of man...") as an advertisement for DRAMs, at a time when the company was offering an obsolete product line (32k instead of 64k, as I recall). I always thought that any engineer who knew their Shakespeare would find it as funny/sad/ironic as I did, since the company was clearly in the "omitted" group on that product line. Luckily I was working on Analog products, where we were taking the tide.

      TV Habits: So Much On, So Little Actually Watched
      I must be very non-typical. I do not have cable, and watch news (normally ABC), and otherwise virtually never watch anything other than from our two local PBS stations. (The third went HDTV, so until I have to get an HD adapter, they're gone). I sometimes wish I could watch the Discovery or History channel, but not often enough to subscribe to Cable.

      iPhone Versus the Rest: More Evidence Smartphone Makers Are in Trouble
      Maybe you could use the argument by which my wife and I have different cell phone service providers (I use T-Mobile, she now uses Verizon, having used the older AT&T phone technology till Cingular dropped it): Even though both of our services have significant service holes, most often one of the two will work, wherever we are!

      Merrill Lynch: Nortel's Share Price Based On 'Risky Assumption'
      Why would it be good for Nokia to dispose of their GSM division?. GSM is dominant in Europe and much of Asia, used by the huge ATT (ex Cingular) network and T-Mobile in the USA and Canada. They would be cutting themsleves off from a large part of the total market.
