@Google: Why No Pixel Phone in Hong Kong?
It has taken a really long time but Intel still holding on to 50% of Datacenter CPU revenue is a doing far better than most people think considering their product offering. Another example just to show decent Sales teams along with Long term relationship build up goes a long way.
The problem is BluRay capacity is too low. Had it been 1TB per Disc it might stand a chance. But using 40 disc just isn't something prosumer is willing to stomach.
Not to mention both Tape and Optical Disc aren't that durable. I just read Walterbright, the author of D programming language had to throw away his code because of inadequate backup solution at the time. We dont need to store and save every video, but there are things that is worth saving. And I wish we have better solutions.
I guess we should thank Dang for this feature! :)
Hopefully Safari team would continue to get resources to fix and improve Safari. The final 10% is going to take some long grinds I am a little worry their new CEO will reduces resources.
Do we expect to see more of these or are there caveats that they are not saying.
Panasonic is decent but the problem is their presence around the world is spotty. I think they only decide to reenter US market and Panasonic the parent company has been thinking about ditching its TV business for a long time already.
My only hesitation with Sony is that they will form a JV with TCL next year.
Otherwise I wouldn't trust LG, Samsung, HiSense, TCL or Vizio.
And that percentage is similar in UK.
I have much more faith in an electrical engineer than the rest of the academics. Especially sociologist and economists.

Holy Crap that is 100x increase. No wonder why they can't keep up.
Because that is not normal and shouldn't happen either. And I dont understand why this is used as an example.
I dont expect normal people to have to sell their stock. Nor do I believe in tax on asset for anyone. Capital Gain Tax should just be Income tax.
In reality majority of billionaires are in industries and companies that does not even remotely have the same benefits or power.
Switching to OLED in 2016 makes zero sense when brightness and burn in issues are not solved.
Not sure I can say the same for UK.
