CoronitaParticipantYes this rebate plan is a bad idea, but the tone of this thread is really sad.
Waah, poor people are so lucky! They get all the breaks!
Waah, why should they get anything, they didn't put in!
I hope you don't live like this in real life. Are you those people who haggle over the check when you go out to lunch? "Now don't tip too much, 10% is plenty. And I only had water to drink, so I'm paying $2 less than everyone else. And make sure I get my 13 cents change back."
Uh…
1) Yes, if my regular hangout buddies go out to lunch and some of us decides to gulp down a few beers, and one of us doesn't, yes it is common courtesy not to split the bill evenly. If you hang out with your buddies and don't regularly drink or consume as much, yes you are sort of getting shafted, depending on how often you hang out with your buddies. And if you're that "generous" about watching your money sort of trickle out like that, frankly that's not wise money management.
Of course there are exceptions to the this rule (as part of social etiquete..For example, it's a completely different story if you go out with acquaintances and such. )
2) I always count the change I get back from clerks/etc. You'd be surprised how often they get it wrong. And when it is, no matter how small the amount, i ask for it back. Does it make more sense to let the store "have it"?
3) Tipping is an american thing frankly. Most places overseas in asia don't tip. Nevertheless, why should you tip the same whether you get crappy service versus good service? You wouldn't spend full amount a sweater that has a defect, would you?
4) It's not about poor being lucky. It's about handouts. Handouts across the scale. Though I won't qualify for this particular handout. Nevertheless, that 700k conforming loan limit will be nice for me, so I guess it washes out :)..Though it would be bad for my kid…Oh wait, but i plan on leaving her with a silver spoon, so she doesn't have to worry about this. Oh wait, but that's not fair either.

CoronitaParticipantApple lovers are going to hate me for posting this. But the article is amusing. Take it with a grain of salt, because it comes from Fortune, which is known more for selling ads then giving sound financial advice.
The case of the 1.4 million missing iPhones
The talk among Apple (AAPL) watchers today is Toni Sacconaghi’s dogged pursuit of the 4 million iPhones Steve Jobs claimed to have sold as of Jan. 15, the date of his Macworld keynote speech.
AT&T (T), the iPhone’s exclusive U.S. carrier, reported yesterday that it had activated “just at or just slightly under 2 million” iPhones. That’s quite a discrepancy.
Sacconaghi, Sanford Bernstein’s Apple specialist, did the math and concluded in a report to clients that there are roughly 1.4 million iPhones “missing in action,” either unlocked or sitting in inventory. Assuming that 20% of those iPhones were purchased to be unlocked (a generous assumption given that a jailbreak for the latest iPhone firmware was only released yesterday), he believes that there are at least 650,000 gathering dust somewhere — in warehouses, perhaps, or in closets, as unwanted Christmas presents waiting to be returned.
Here’s how he gets that number:
- 3.75 million iPhones sold as of Dec. 29 (per Apple’s Q1 report)
- minus 2 million iPhones activated through AT&T as of Dec. 31 (per AT&T)
- minus 350,000 iPhones sold in Europe via O2, T-Mobile and Orange
- minus 750,000 iPhones purchased to be unlocked
- equals 650,000 unaccounted for.
Sacconaghi concludes:
This is negative in two ways: (1) it indicates end-user demand for iPhone is lower than many investors may think based on Apple’s sales figure; and (2) it points to slower iPhone sales in the current quarter, since much of this inventory is likely to be drawn down.
Of course, compared to other Apple analysts, Sacconaghi is something of a bear. One day before the Q1 earnings report and the subsequent run on Apple shares, he went out on a limb and predicted that the company would sell only 7 million iPhones in 2008. That’s considerably less than the 10 million target Steve Jobs set — a goal COO Tim Cook said on Tuesday he remained “very confident” they would hit.
Most Apple watchers shared Cook’s confidence, given the 4 million number Jobs had trotted out at Macworld. Today they’re singing a different tune.
“Apple might have a demand problem,” writes Tom Krazit at CNET.
Russell Shaw at ZDNet says the iPhone is at a “crossing the chasm” moment, stuck between early adopters and the mainsteam, and predicts that to survive its price will have to come down to $299 by the end of May at the latest.
Ewan McLeod at the U.K.’s SMS Text News waxes positively elegiac in a post entitled “The Apple iPhone will only ever be a bit player”:
This may be premature. A lot could change in the next 50 weeks. New apps. A 16 GB iPhone. A 3G model. New price points. New markets in Canada, Thailand, and maybe even China.
But one thing is certain: having promised and repromised to sell 10 million iPhones in 2008, there will be hell to pay in 2009 if Apple falls even a little bit short.

CoronitaParticipantYou know FLU you are posting way to optimistic data for this website. If you don't watch out the piggington men in black are gonna have to take you out of the picture.
SD Realtor
Dont worry. I have a pretty think fat skin…And i don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong. I can always resort to trash talking too.
Personally, I hope it's payback time. (Revenge of the geeks II). Prior to the dot coms, common people didn't wanted to be in tech. During the dot coms, non-techs got into tech for the to make a $. They got flushed out when the dot bomb came.
Then a lot of them probably became real estate "gurus", only to yet again be flushed out this time around.
I have nothing against RE agents/brokers/appraisers/loan officers that are in the business because that's really their thing.
It's all the fair-weather fans/quick buck job migrants that I despise. Long term, it's probably better for the more established agents/brokers/appraisers/loan officers who want to stay in this business that there is this flushing out of all the wannabes…Hey, at least you can't get outsourced to India or China ….That's already a plus….(Punchline- there are some jobs even India/China doesn't want…Just kidding folks…)

Dont worry. I have a pretty think fat skin…And i don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong. I can always resort to trash talking too.
Personally, I hope it's payback time. (Revenge of the geeks II). Prior to the dot coms, common people didn't wanted to be in tech. During the dot coms, non-techs got into tech for the to make a $. They got flushed out when the dot bomb came.
Then a lot of them probably became real estate "gurus", only to yet again be flushed out this time around.
I have nothing against RE agents/brokers/appraisers/loan officers that are in the business because that's really their thing.
It's all the fair-weather fans/quick buck job migrants that I despise. Long term, it's probably better for the more established agents/brokers/appraisers/loan officers who want to stay in this business that there is this flushing out of all the wannabes…Hey, at least you can't get outsourced to India or China ….That's already a plus….(Punchline- there are some jobs even India/China doesn't want…Just kidding folks…)
