What to do when you have $Bs in the bank?

Buy up a rival (P.A. Semi) to your current best chip supplier (Intel).

Seems Intel might not be able to get the power needs of their low power chips low enough. Intel was looking to buy PA, but Apple got there first.

On the plus side, Apple won't have to share the chips with anyone else like they would have if they'd just let Intel make the deal.

Encouraging Bikini News!

And it's not quite what you were thinking of.

Check out the comment section for more levity. :^)

It worked for Apple, so...

why shouldn't you be able to go the the mall and have "a Microsoft experience?"

(possibly) Coming to a mall near you: The Microsoft Store!

Can I just shoot myself before I go in? Thanks.

Real life versus the Ideal

A renowned playwright comes over to the right.

Going to the doctor makes you better in half the time!

My daughter had a sore throat. After a day or two, we noticed that it had white spots in it.

We took her to the doctor and he said it wasn't anything treatable, but she's better in a day or so.

Considering that sore throats run their course in 3-4 days, shouldn't we have taken her to the doctor sooner -- or even before she got sick? ;^)

It's seems somewhat like this: Take the medicine and be better in a week or let the malady run its course over 7 days...

Cellular Details

TMobile's coverage for prepaid plans. These plans cost at least $0.10/minute (1000 minutes), but are great for people luck me who don't use 'em much. And with the bulk rate, you can roll unused minutes into the next year for as little as $10. Nice!

AT&T's coverage There is a choice for their "GoPhone" which is a pay-as-you go plan, but has significantly less coverage. Though this isn't a problem if you stay in populated areas.

I'm currently in possession of a MacBook

I bought it for a deacon of my church. He needs a laptop for school and was interested in one that didn't have to deal with viruses & other malware.

He neglected to tell me that he also needed Microsoft Access for his database needs. There are other solutions for such things on the Mac, but not that he or his professors understand, so he asked to return it (after one day).

I'd like to save us the 10% re-stock fee, so will be willing to sell it for the $903 that it cost. It's a white 2GHz model with 1GB of RAM, 80GH hard drive, 13.3" screen.

Thanks for your time.
