The employment picture in the US today is worlds better than it was in, say, 2009. There's just no question about it. We were not hiring at all in '09 - we are hiring now - and finding it difficult to get people, but that's for another thread. Ditto for most people I personally know running...

I disagree with this. Inappropriate levels of "liquidity" are a key component of bubble valuations. I don't agree with artificial limits on liquidity - I also don't agree with creation of artificial liquidity created by "clever" credit policies. That said, I think all this misses the big...

Who are you trying to convince - us, or yourself?

The timing of this one seems curious - Intel is releasing a fairly meaningful chipset bump within 1-2 months of the global release.

Not sure what the fuss is about. This is all pretty normal for a hyped IPO. And, yes, employees have a good chance of getting screwed in the next six months, if "getting screwed" means only getting a big pile of money instead of a ginormous pile of money. The bigger risk is complete lack of...

Cool. Basically a MacBook Air with worse screen slower processor and BSODs, just to keep things fresh. EDIT: For those who haven't seen them, it's 128GB SSD, 768p screen, and Core i5-2467M (1.6 GHz) In all seriousness, you can pick those up all day long from the Apple refurb shop for...

If you aren't paying for the product, you are the product.

Fannie and Freddie are untouchable because voters won't stand for anything else. Democracy in full effect.

A thought experiment: A presidential candidate announces that all US troops in Germany will be brought home, and the size of the military budget reduced to reflect the savings. Who will scream the loudest - Germans, Democrats, Republicans or Tea Partyists? It certainly won't be Germans...

I thought the big reveal for 2012 was that they'd be adding a "Want" button to go along with the current "Like" button. Like a global wedding registry. Or something. Last I looked, Facebook was generating approximately $5 per user, per year, on average. Doesn't really seem like very...

If they're 35+ years old, maybe.

From a NYT review of "How the Beatles Destroyed Rock ’n’ Roll” ... I'm just sharing, not claiming...

Meh, didn't do much for me, too derivative, like a cross between old Vangelis and Enya on too many qualudes. But each to their own - if it floats your boat, it floats your boat! :)

It helps dudes get laid, would be my guess.
