    Best Friday ever.

    Free leftover tacos and cake from some meeting at lunchtime, and my boss just brought around a big bag of M&M Peanuts and dumped a big pile on my desk. Going home in 15 minutes too.

    Ugh. Then I need to run. Fucking weather, you were supposed to be storming right now.

    Btw synd, I'll take ms against aapl if you wanna lay $1.10:$1 ;)

    this is making the absurd assumption that the stock price based upon any of the factors we are talking about (ie: value for the dollar on their products and warranties and such)

    If you dont think stock price reflects the quality of a brand, I don't exactly understand how you would gauge value.

    I don't no. Or at least the quality of the products (very different from the quality of the brand) is only a tiny, tiny component.

    I don't see how you're saying anything different. Either you feel markets work to reflect value or they don't, I wanna know which type of leftist you are. ;)

    I am saying that there are many factors that influence a stocks price and that the quality of the products is a very insignificant one. Whether or not the weather that day is cloudy or sunny probably has a bigger impact than quality of product.

    Yes, but if a company makes an inferior product for a long enough time, their stock price will reflect that. Aapl isn't on top by luck, ATM. Tim Cook had almost as big a part of it as Steve, but I just don't see how they'll keep the design and quality assurance culture that Steve implemented.

    I don't understand what value this argument is over, if you're going so broad as to not even base it on companies possible products/business plays/management. It really is just a pissing match then.

    I am objecting to your suggestion that the stock price of a company (your suggestion of a bet on such to resolve the "nerd wars") is at all relevant to any of the factors actually being discussed.

    Marketing spends or the weather or what time of year it happens to be or the fuckmuppetry of congress will be far more important to the stock price than anything interesting like the quality of the companies products.

    Then what metric do you measure it by? How it pleases Riemann? Seems broadly applicable.

    Like, just because you don't understand the stock market doesn't mean all the numbers are meaningless, and the weather has more effect on a tech stocks price than their products. I mean, seriously? Are you 12?

    I have heard nothing but good things regarding that mouse.

    Were I not so completely addicted to the insane number of buttons on my Razer Naga, I would have switched when my old Naga died. Instead, I got the redesigned wireless one.

    You are again missing the point here.

    "Then what metric do you measure it by?"

    what do you mean by "it". I've already stated like 4 times what I am interested in measuring (and what this entire discussion was about before you started trying to link it to stock value): product quality, product price, quality of support and warranties etc...

    IE: things that actually matter to the person potentially buying or owning a device.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    Beer on a cold day.

    so many movies I like that don't fit into the last 5 years. I'll need to do some thinking.

    I actually have one of those and it has the best button layout of any mouse of used.

    Problems: Dat shape. No slope for my hand? Wtf?

    Bigger problem: Finnicky laser. I've seen other people have this problem with them have lasers crap out so I know I'm not alone. Crapped out wayyy to quick for me to have much faith in the quality. Which is very sad because I LOVED that button layout.

    I have spent like $300 on mice in the past year. I have a problem.
