    Global Server Shipments Outpacing Economy [view article]
    Sun/Java lost market share and went down in revenues, when the rest of the industry went up. This company is not in imminent danger of collapse, but its long-term rooters have to be getting concerned. At this hour, it is down to 8.91, almost 51% for the year. These folks need to wake up. Reply

    Cloud computing you say? Been there, done that. 30 years ago while at university using DEC machines from a dumb terminal. You'll have to pry my quad-code from my cold dead hands! Reply

    Sorry... I have to disagree.... I rented a mid-compact GM ""something&... in Hawaii... It seats five and had room for luggage... It really was a plasticky poorly made vehicle and suffered pretty bad gas mileage for the week we drove it. Compare that to the Fiat diesel we rented in Italy. No comparison... The Fiat wins hands down... Nor did it spew clouds of black smoke or clank like you have a bad case of rod-knock like American diesels seem to do. In fact it was real peppy and smooth.

    Then look at engine life expectancy. I was looking at buying a used Mustang, but settled on a used BMW. Why? For the same price I found that the life expectancy of the Mustang engine (based on anecdotal info...) was a little over 100K miles, whereas the BMW would run to 250K miles....And the mileage was better.

    I suggest you read the article in Wired where Jay Leno explains what is wrong with American manufacturers.... In essence he notes that American manufacturers penalize buyers for buying a cheap car. As he notes, there is no reason why a cheap car can't also be a quality investment. And, I agree.

    As an analyst in GM's Quality department, I spend the better part of each working day immersed in quality and customer satisfaction data. Given the dramatic improvements I've seen in GM's product portfolio over the past few years I was puzzled by the results of the ACSI. Granted, GM still has some less than stellar products in it's portfolio that are nearing the end of their lifecycles but it would be hard to argue that the recent crop of new products such as the Chevrolet Malibu, Cadillac CTS, Buick Enclave, Saturn Aura and Outlook, etc. aren't indeed class leading products. Don't take my word for it, read the media reviews or better yet, drive one. Understandably, I had a difficult time rationalizing significant improvements in GM's portfolio with subsequent declines in customer satisfaction so I did some investigation. It turns out that the declines in the ASCI have nothing to do with the product itself. Quite the contrary actually, since customer satisfaction with GM products, according to the study, remains high, along with value for the money. What drove the scores down this year are consumer perceptions of the financial condition of GM and the other domestic automakers (big surprise!) and perceptions of poor fuel economy. Perceptions of poor fuel economy don't necessarily reflect reality either. GM currently has 17 models in its portfolio that get 30+ mpg according to the EPA, more than any other automaker. Reply

    The key to the big players in cloud storage will be "Trust".
    They will have to be as secure and as trustable as the major banks.
    .
    Oop's, did I say something wrong?
    Seems the ATM Process can be hacked through user lack of attention when they use their cards, so now you will soon get a Text Message about large transactions, and then YOU have to notify the bank.
    Soon we'll have to police our own data in the cloud, and notify the Cloud company if we see our own secure data being exploited.

    It doesn't look good, from this small and probably insignificant point of view.

    $60 billion...not $60 billion dollars. You already indicated that you're referring to dollars by including the dollar sign before 60 billion. Reply

    Ummm ... Potash and ALL fertilizer products ARE NOT commodities!! DUH! Good grief! Need proof? There are NO SPOT PRICES and there is no FUTURES MARKET on potash (the chemical). If an analyst is so uniformed to thing that fertilizers are commodities how can one take anything they say seriously? Reply

    Your Malthusian argument ignores environmental issues, but if it worked this could make economic sense as well, so if you have those things going, why bother 'decreasing the surplus population?'

    What I don't understand is how deep they would have to drill to make clean energy like this.

    Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
    "Wednesday August 20, 6:46 pm ET The banks are the three biggest players in the auction-rate securities market that have not already reached a settlement with Cuomo, who is seeking deals on behalf of regulators and state authorities. Five major Wall Street firms including Citigroup Inc. and Switzerland's UBS AG have agreed to $42 billion in settlements.

    For the next phase, Cuomo has directed staff to spend more time gathering facts and talking to the three banks about the sale of the risky securities, said a person inside the attorney general's office who asked not to be identified by name because he was not authorized to speak publicly."

    [[t]he $330 billion auction-rate securities market ...]

    MSM [aka corp/media according to george Ure] may be playing games with this story.

    "The courts, in practice, can do anything they want for the reason their actions are invisible to the public. But citizens are generally powerless to do anything about it for the reason of the reason of unaccountability in this system.

    "Newspapers don't report the news, they shape the news." quipped Libertad co-founder John Gowan.

    Mark Twain expressed a similar sentiment when he wrote "Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse."
