    Were I playing, I would note that several of the orders I did not enter did not actually work, but would have executed just fine in the real world. There are broken bits in this game.

    Yea, I've had the same problem....... Really annoying.

    I can not confirm the non-existence of these hypothetical problems.

    I don't see enough updating of those not playing! What's the ranking at least.

    Well, as of today I am very last; currently at $78,321.05

    The market is in such a shitter. It's so hard to decide whether to buy while everything is low, or sell short on something different every day.

    It seems Intel has recovered around half of the fall it took since I bought it. If I'd bought it when it was low, I'd be doing very well.
    I'm not sure whether I should sell it off now, or wait for a possible higher price.

    Well, I sold off, and now I have $91,703.

    I'm thinking about buying some Adobe shares, as those are at their lowest in a couple of months. I think HTML5 isn't going to have a strong impact in the medium term, while Flash Player 10.1 is looking strong to me. I don't think that Apple's stand against Adobe is going to make serious trouble, especially given that the iPad is unspectacular. Additionally, the coming release of CS5 with the Packager for iPhone apps seems like it ought to do well.

    Wow, be careful with that Tokyo Breakfast. It's an antique, at least a decade old.

    You're from over two decades ago, does that make you ancient?

    :P

    Scott Rubin exists beyond time.

    Also, I only put up Tokyo Breakfast because someone quoted it earlier.

    Oldness is relative to life expectancy. As the life expectancy of humans increases, the exact ages that are young, middle-aged, and old also change.

    Seeing as the life expectancy of a funny video on the Internet is about a day, 10 years ago is beyond ancient. It's pre-historic.

    The Internet 'life span' can have a longer expectancy I feel. When a joke/meme hits the Internet. There is a gestation period that can occur also. It could be weeks or even months before something peaks with the Internet collective. 10 year old funny video could possibly even go through a revival. Look at the video keyboard cat. Wasn't it a very old video from the 80's?

    Anyone else have thoughts on Adobe?

    So? If it's still funny, it's still funny.

    The shares will tank if the browsers agree to use OGG.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    I really don't see that happening soon.

    Not as long as IE holds a significant market share, anyway.

    Most companies significantly invested in mobile hardware are unlikely to support OGG in the near future. In particular, I don't see Apple doing so, but then again they aren't supporting Flash either.

    Apple won't support anything that doesn't dump money straight into its own pocket.

    Why aren't the mobile hardware companies interested in supporting OGG?

    Currently, H.264 has hardware decoding/acceleration available, while Theora does not, which is a big deal for the battery life of a smartphone.

    Cool. Let's go with H.264!

    Which is encumbered by patents, so no open source applications can include it. What we really need is for some company, like Google, to just buy all of these stupid patents and release them. Obviously we should get rid of the software patents altogether, but we need a short term solution that actually works.
