Participant[quote=walterwhite]Never trust anyone over 35[/quote]
Fixed. 🙂Participant[quote=CONCHO]People tend to forget that Jobs is responsible for 2 insanely great, insanely successful companies: Apple and Pixar. He bought Pixar for $10M and sold it for over $7B 20 years later. Cha-ching.
A world without Steve Jobs? There would have been no “Toy Story” — kids wouldn’t have gotten to watch Buzz and Woody! I don’t even want to imagine such a miserable place…[/quote]
A world without Pixar, we still have Kungfu Panda, Shrek, Aladin, Lilo & Stitch, Mulan, the Lion King, etc. Doesn’t sound too miserable to me. Aladin and Kungfu Panda > Toy Story IMHO.Jobs is great, no doubt about that, but he’s no Gates, Brin/Page, and to a lesser extent Zuckerberg. I see Jobs in similar light Jack Welch than the the guys I listed above. When Jack Welch took over GE, GE was about $1/share. When he left GE, it was about $40/share. At the peak, it was ~$55/share. When Jobs took over Apple, it was about $10/share, now it’s ~$400/share. They both have great stories of turning around nearly bankrupt companies. But Gate, Brin/Page, and to a lesser extent Zuckerberg formed a company from their “garage” and have a company that lead their respective industry. Jobs and Gates were starting out the same time and we all know how that battle turned out. At the peak, MSFT has a market cap of $488B, while Apple’s current peak is $355B.

Participant[quote=Nor-LA-SD-GUY2]RP not an evangelical I think so probably not getting evangelical support as much.[/quote]
Not only is he not evangelical, he doesn’t believe in banning gay marriage or abortion at the federal level. That should be more than enough to drive away those evangelical voters. I think he attracts socially liberal financially conservative GOP voters.Participant[quote=Nor-LA-SD-GUY2]RP not an evangelical I think so probably not getting evangelical support as much.[/quote]

I use GV for text messaging since I don’t want to pay for a text plan. On the iPhone the GV apps are all limited in one way or another, including the official Google Voice app which is horrible (crashes often, lots of bugs). It’s obvious that Google is intentionally trying to make GV on the iPhone as crappy as possible so people will want to upgrade to Androids.[/quote]
Google didn’t cripple GV on iPhone because they wanted to. It’s what they can do w/in the Apple ecosystem. GV on Android is fantastic. Visual voicemail rock. Voicemail to text rock too.Participant[quote=SmellsFeeshy]Can anyone comment on the Google Voice integration on an Android phone vs. iPhone?
