Minkow to Plead Guilty to Insider Trading
According to what I read in the wsj, Minkow new about the investigation for at least a month. Obviously though we don't know when it started.— March 17, 2011 8:49 p.m.
Are American Engineers in Short Supply?
"However, they were not buying stock for half-off in a technology giveaway" Didn't say the were. Simply saying the Jobs and the Apple engineers didn't break into PARC in the middle of the night and steal away with gui and mouse technology, which is how you make it sound. But I find it hard to believe that one of the largest companies in the world simply let someone steal their technology and get away with it. Your hatred and bitterness toward Jobs and Apple may or may not be justified, but to someone who has no axe to grind, it appears to colour your comments. That's your prerogative. Feel free to hate on but remember, Karma has a long memory.— March 17, 2011 8:43 p.m.
Are American Engineers in Short Supply?
Dobs lost me when he started in questioning President Obama's citizenship. Then he quits and makes some ridiculous statement about being tired of the partisanship or some such hypocritical nonsense. I'm sure that he could have found another outlet instead of fox; maybe the money was just to good. When someone mentions fox "news", I am always reminded of something that Janeane Garofalo said. When asked by an interviewer what comedy shows on tv she liked, she said she thought anything on fox "news" was funny.— March 17, 2011 10:12 a.m.
Are American Engineers in Short Supply?
"His highest achievement was stealing the mouse and graphical user interface from Xerox Corporation from their Palo Alto research center, PARC" Xerox let him into their facility. As I recall, there were 2 groups who visited PARC and Jobs was in the second group. they gave him access in exchange for being able to buy a bunch of apple stock. I seriously doubt XEROX let him in without knowing he was going to look at what they were doing, especially considering some of Apple's engineers had worked at PARC. You obviously have your own reasons for your hatred of Jobs and Apple, but i don't. Apple has been good to me. BTW, your concept of karma is slightly flawed.— March 17, 2011 9:33 a.m.
Minkow to Plead Guilty to Insider Trading
I read the WSJ article around 2pm yesterday. It had essentially the same info as the LAT article— March 17, 2011 9:14 a.m.
Minkow to Plead Guilty to Insider Trading
According to the WSJ, Minkow is dealing with the US Attorney for Florida's Southern District, so I guess that means Florida. Looks like he could get up to another 5 yrs in prison. BTW Don, WSJ had this story early this afternoon.— March 17, 2011 12:14 a.m.
SD Unemployment Rises to 10.3%
Despite the claims of some, I don't believe President Obama is a socialist and I certainly don't think he is a communist. However, based on the volume of comments I've been reading here expressing a hatred of big business and complaining of the disparity between the classes, in some minds it seems to be an easy path to follow. Some people seem to be saying that the country is heading down a path to only two classes, those that have and those that have not, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat if you will. But big business having so much control, having bought and paid for politicians, is going in the other direction, not towards a dictatorship of the proletariat, but instead, as someone else has already said, a banana republic.— March 14, 2011 8:31 a.m.
SD Unemployment Rises to 10.3%
Jeez, Don. It's barely been 20 years since the Berlin Wall went down. Just how young are some of theses people? lol— March 14, 2011 7:47 a.m.
SD Unemployment Rises to 10.3%
Probably referring to the old East Germany. German Democratic Republic which was DDR, Deutsche Democratic Republic in German( don't know correct German spelling. Haven't hear that in a long time.— March 13, 2011 6:35 p.m.
San Ysidro Is Too Far South for Sidewalks
I can't speak for SD, but in LA, if it's a city owned and maintained tree, the city is liable. We had that exact situation in our neighbor hood several years ago. After 3 or 4 months of nothing being done, several of us had to go downtown and deal with it in person. We just happened to take one of our neighbors along, who was in his late 70's at the time. We casually mentioned how it was hard for him to navigate around a portion of sidewalk that had been uplifted about 5" by tree roots and how fortunate he was not to have been injured when he tripped and fell. I think the picturesa and the casual use of the word lawsuit may have also been beneficial. There was an engineer out within about a week, although it still took at least 4-5 months to get it fixed although they did remove the offending piece of sidewalk and put up a temp barricade pretty quickly; all done to absolve the city of any future liability, I'm sure— March 5, 2011 8:29 a.m.
