Therefore, intelligent people never have enough money and belongings and love. On the other hand, stupid people get best jobs, best salary and obviously most gorgeous women.
Am I intelligent or what...?

...about the Apple price cuts - does Microsoft feel threatened? No way, says Shaw.
"When I see Apple drop the price of their struggling, lightweight productivity apps, I don't see a shot across our bow, I see an attempt to play catch up," he wrote.
MSFT is in a deep bunker of groupthink. Us against the World and all that. But they better wake up fast. The Surface is clunky, poorly sold in stores, and just plain lacking the right apps, the right look and no cool factor at all. It feels like a laptop and not a tablet. The MSFT stores are the worst run stores I have ever been in. I am not a fan of Apple stores either but thats because they are so crowded you get no service. I was in the Stanford Mall in Palo Alto a few months ago where the MSFT and APPL stores are almost next to each other. MSFT stores employees ignored ALL of us customers except for one guy who was trying to help ALL of us while the other 5 or 6 just were playing a videogame on a laptop. Nobody else cared nor bothered to approach customers. I pointed this out to the acting store manager who just shrugged. Next I went to the APPL store, too crowded, reeked of human sweat, no help. But it was because they were overrflowing out the door. MSFT is a joke.
The market that is the users who make it or break it, So Apple has been right till now with their Customers and Android is also Good with its customers now we shall C if Microsoft with Nokia will eat out of whose cake.
Seems to be ignoring the $900 million write down on those "better" Surface tablets. I think the market is answering the question about which tablet is better.
MSFT surely would react to AAPL Game Changer moves, waves of rolling thunders from Hardware of iPhone, iPad, Mac etc , Software OS / APPS supported by the iCloud that cater for both consumers, SME and enterprises.
The pace of Innovation since the BlueScreen days of MSFT has been slow and less cohesive, it went round from game box to keyboard and now Nokia have all gone nowhere. AAPL created its Eco systems that has focus - Great Customer Experience! Now it IS Free! Love it.
Thanks to Microsoft for giving Apple more free publicity! Had there been anyone out there not aware of the free operating and free productivity software Apple is offering, Frank made sure they knew with his off the wall envious comments. Meanwhile Apple just keeps doing its best to make sure its customers are happy, and encourages others to join its base of rapidly growing loyal users. Just downloaded Mavericks yesterday. In a word, Wow! It is blazingly fast and offers so many new exciting features that I was up most of the night giving it a trial run. As a former PC owner, I quite often was up nights trying to figure out how to make my software work. Thanks, Apple for making computing a really fun experience! Oh, and Frank, you should really try it, I think you would like it.
$MSFT exec speaks, shares fall. A lot of small businesses are going to jump for Apple's 'good enough' free productivity offering (plus superior free OS, in my opinion). $MSFT will hang on to its installed base in big enterprises for somewhat longer but the threat is real - hence the desperate sounding critique from Mr Shaw.
It kills me hearing anyone from Microsoft talking about quality .... Microsoft has been the poster boy for defective buggy, poorly designed, dead after launch products for years!
Well what Apple lacks in open source app availability and third party hardware compatibility Microsoft makes up for in draconian licenses, shoddy rollout, and buggy products. Lucky for them that they both have slave labor sources to produce their goods abroad and a mysteriously lax oversight of their monopoly market shares.
I wonder if the blacksmiths were scared when the automobile became popular? They probably called it a toy or novelty.
I wonder how big the Surface 2 write-offs will be. Hope Ballmer and Shaw here didn't build too many.
YAWN....Please tell me the REAL WORK you do on your WINDOZ tablet ???? Yeah, I thought so......
oh please, give it a break

- Elop was a director of consulting for Lotus Development Corporation before becoming CIO for Boston Chicken in 1992, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1998.
- In the same year, he joined Macromedia's Web/IT department and worked at the company for seven years, where he held several senior positions, including CEO from January 2005 for three months before their acquisition by Adobe Systems was announced in April 2005.
- Nokia's stock value dropped by 85% since Elop's takeover. On September 3, 2013, it was announced that Microsoft had agreed to buy Nokia's mobile phone and devices business for 5.4 billion euros ($7.2bn; £4.6bn) and that Elop would stand down as Nokia's CEO to become Vice President of Microsoft's Devices & Services business unit.
- ...now they are talking of him as a candidate for CEO of Microsoft.
