One Big Banking Rant

So I have been struggling with this topic of the banking system problems. For YEARS I have understood that we have been inactive to our own detriment, but it seems to me we are not addressing the real problems. This is going to be a bit rambling.

SCO survives

A bit depressing that an investment group has decided to pump $100M-USD into SCO.

Hopefully SNCP (the company doing the investing) managing partner Stephen Norris is not completely full of crap when he states: "We saw a tremendous investment opportunity in SCO and its vast range of products and services, including many new innovations ready or soon to be ready to be released into the marketplace."

This is how we roll at Microsoft

Kara @ATD:

Sources at Yahoo tell me that Microsoft made its most recent overtures right after Yahoo announced its earnings Tuesday and then told Yahoo execs they had two days to respond or Microsoft would go public with the offer.

When Yahoo balked at the heavy-handed tactic, guess what?

Best Buy Sucks

On 9/21 I called for service on my dryer purchased at Best Buy. I was busy on mon. 9/24, (my bad, sorry I had a previous apt. that couldn't be broken) so I made my apt. for wed.9/26. When I made my apt. I was very specific as to what was wrong with the dryer as well as make & model of appliance.

Another shining example of "consultant syndrome"

or (Rocky and Bullwinkle alternate title style) . . .

We recommend what makes us the most cash. (The stuff you need eighteen people on staff for 2 years to "integrate.")

Gotta handle the due diligence for the enterprise across the verticals, right? Ars has an overview of a recent Burton Group report that recommends against Google Apps.
