"Maybe they'll develop a single field where you can type in whatever you want the computer to do. Wouldn't that be great? Let's see, you type in a line of commands, so you could call it a 'command line'. You wouldn't need all those icons! That would be the ultimate evolution of Windows."

Opportunity Costs

Year2 The iPhone debuted on 6/29/07 for $599. If you bought $599 of Apple stock on that day instead of the phone, it'd be worth $2,857.08 today.Sat, Jun 23 00:02:59 from web retweeted by MikeGriffith32

Marketing

I should start selling Chinese radios... we've seen multiple companies add their name/logo and they are in business. But here is how I would differentiate my version... I would just add a zombie killer logo and I could sell millions!

Aaron Sorkin is Green

I watched the first episode of The Newsroom and enjoyed it, but I can't argue that he doesn't recycle.
