[8] Worse, you have to put up with Microsoft. Good, old Microsoft and their "We won't let you pre-install XP on your computers after this date. Wait, did we say this date? We meant six months later. Well, okay, if you'll stop screaming, we'll give you another six months after that." Go ahead. Keep your cheap Windows crap. You get what you pay for. Apple's market share is increasing steadily despite the naysayers who've probably never laid hands on a Mac. "Microsoft blows them away"? Nope. Microsoft blows, period. Enjoy your Vista security warnings.

But then you have to put up with Windows.

^ Glad someone mention how overprice apple computers are. You can get the same or even better specs on a Windows laptop for half what you pay for apple. Apple is good for mp3 players and the iphone, but when it comes to computers Microsoft blows them away.

Apple will be introducing their new laptops next week. There is a rumor of an $800 laptop being offered. The funny thing is, none of the other Apple laptops should cost more than $800.

They are defining the new "poor". They will not loose in the end. You will. For years we will be talking about the "crash of 2008". What bullshit. They did this. Not you. You will be the losers. Not them. Something wrong with the picture.

Iceland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Argentina are all in serious financial trouble.

Plunge Protection Team (PPT) obviously stepped in at 3PM to avert another final hour sell off. That is as clear as that chart.

Will there be trading on Columbus Day? Some countries overseas, like Russia, actually closed their markets to avoid panic trade off. The Dow could use a day off, while the "G7" gathers their thoughts.

And now all these greedy wall St. types are degenerating into 'bottom testers'. Isn't that some kind of illicit activity?
