They need to change the show in one key way for next season - don't allow people to have a person come along and/or lead them to a location. It tilts the game in bad ways - favoring those that are good looking, etc....obviously it doesn't control the total game because all the best looking women teams are gone. But it just takes away from the race IMHO when they really don't have to figure anything out - they just get a guide and go from there.

Sigh - so close to what I want - just needed to add the high-speed connection and I'd be sold...now I have to decide between this and the Hermes. Anybody got any thoughts on this comparison?

1. Outsourcing - just silly protectionism. The outsourcing issue has been blown out of proportion and, in any case, is unavoidable in a global economy. "Prevent insiders from selling stock or earning corporate bonuses in any year they outsource jobs" - just about the silliest thing I've seen you post. 2. Expensing options - right on. Cisco is about the worst offender of this. 3. Protecting drug profits - you're right on that the drug companies argument that innovation will stumble is false - particular given that R&D spending, while growing, doesn't compare to the increase spending in marketing. But big pharma's problems will be solved over time, as a great deal of drugs will come off patent and enter the generic space. They also don't have a great pipeline of blockbuster drugs like they've had in the past. But the one advantage to the US system which most people don't talk about is that generic drugs are actually cheaper here in the US than in Canada, for instance.

Cool device, but until it supports corporate email systems, it doesn't matter how cool it is - I just don't understand why it doesn't work with corporate email systems...seems like a no brainer to me....
