The markets aren’t rigged. I’m sure some portions of them are and occasionally there’s a big scandal but overall they’re not rigged. It’s too big of a system for a select few to hold absolute power over.

Interesting breakdown of the CPU numbers. Hadn'€™t really looked at that before. I'€™ll keep that in mind if I purchase a new system. It'€™s tempting to go AMD for price, but maybe it'€™s worth going Intel.

That computer technology looks really cool. I didn’t realize that there were so many price disparities and things in the market that could be found with Google style questions. It’s like the Ask Jeeves of finance…

That's very interesting. I thought AMD chips could be overclocked though as well? However, even if you could overclock them they still couldn'€™t match Intel'€™s performance with hyperthreading I suppose.

I see Apple only getting stronger. They have some weakness, sure, but they have such a strong market in the US that they can continue to churn a healthy profit. Plus they’re sitting on buckets and buckets of cash.

That’s a really interesting article and I had no idea that a Xeon would be poor for trading performance. I would have figured that the server class of processors would be the best for computation.

FB is not a good stock to trade, period. It’s trading way too high but that will continue based on sentiment. I mean its market cap right now is 75% of Chevron and 150% of American Express with a P/E ratio that’s over 5x both of those. FB is way, way too overpriced.

I hope to try out the new add-ins once they’re out of beta. Could you PM me and let me know when they’re available?

Only in America it seems that people can do that. Over here in India, we don’t have suits like that…

This is absolutely fantastic news. I’m just trying out the newest beta now. I have a question though, are the other add-ins on the site multi-core enabled or are they going to be ported over in the future? So far the beta seems to be a lot quicker on my computer, so I’m liking that.

Wow… This type of stuff is incredible. It might be the answer to the bandwidth issues that the current telecom infrastructure is projected to experience over the next decade or so.

Just wanted to comment that this is a fantastic thread. Loving the science videos posted so far.

That’s absolutely ridiculous. How does a company allow that to happen? I would think that in the US it would take fewer than five findings of cockroaches to shut the plant down…

That seems absolutely insane to me. I’m nervous that all these drones will make people less casual about going to war since their own lives won’t be on the line though.
