They paid $3k for a 5K iMac, that adds up to 8K right there I don't see the problem :colbert:

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".

Microsoft cut the price of their poo poo-you-can-get-for-free-elsewhere bundle of Skype credits + Xbox live + Office to $149 per year

which I guess means demand is low

i wonder if the brick making GBS threads has started now that they see demand for their services will fall far short of revenue they used to make from windows and office

this headline on ars technica: 'hisense’s arm chromebook actually isn’t awful for $149' means that microsoft gets to re-fight the netbook war all over again at a time when people are poorer, when they've been trained to use web-apps and now against a competitor that has no higher margin product line to leverage a bribe against to kill the netbook

maybe they can tap some of the business wizards that signed off on the $499 game terminal, that killed the mini tablet a week from reveal and who fumbled the entire low-end smartphone play for the 4th time to draw up the battle plan, surely they aren't doing much at the moment

i dont really see how thats different than competing against a $200 chromebook tbh. the $50 isn't a huge difference, although yeah it might sell better at that price point since its a loving chromebook and performance doesn't matter

also if you look at the review the battery life is godawful even compared to the $200 models
