Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Feb 08, 2011 5:00am PSTAccording to TVLine.com, Super Bowl XLV was the highest rated event in the sport's history. Based on ratings data the big game tackled 111 million viewers, besting last year's game by 4.5 million sports fans.
The numbers are certainly deserved since XLV was one of the more exciting championship games I've seen in a very long time--in any sport. The outcome wasn't what I expected but it was entertaining from top to bottom.
Actually, there was a terrible bit in the middle where my television started flickering and the sound started to break apart. No matter how hard I hit my television it just wouldn't right itself and, in some spots, started to get so bad I thought my TV was going to break. But then the Black Eyed Peas got off the stage and everything was cool again.

At ~$820 (cost plus one month data) do you guys think Motorola is going to move many of these? I don't see how they can compete with the iPad when the top selling models are the baseline versions which are $500 and $629.

Maybe I am with rose colored glasses here, but I think the attitudes of guys like Edison and Ford were basically:
1. I can improve the quality of life of people with my product.
2. I will battle my competition.
They were not beyond the dirty tricks against their competitors and fucked contributors and workers alike, for sure, they were not angels, but I think this whole "let's see how far we can fuck the customer" attitude was something more associated with fly by night operators and shysters, and somehow it bled over into these A list companies as a way of doing business.
