http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... spread the wealth Obama? Joe the Plumber... is getting the Abner Louima treatment with the plunger
- NoahDavidSimon
Hilarious, Steve.
- Rex Hammock
He's the only one of us whose personal equity went up 1,000% this week :)
- Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
I heard one of the commentators say that Joe should be our next pres because he represents the culmination of American morals and virtues! HAH!
- Lindsay
Jason, if you are talking about Joe, he wants to own his own business. I don't think he owns one yet.
- ComicList
Is Joe The Plumber complaining because he's an S-Corp? Just change to a C-Corp and not have the business income flow into personal. No sweat.

People miss the morality aspect of taking someones hard earned money. If you punish success, there will be less of it.
- Robert Hafer
@Robert Understood. At a gut level, I thought that's what this was about until I read the book, "Don't Think of an Elephant" which explains the liberal/progressive thought pattern on this: The objective is not to punish the successful for being successful. The objective is to ensure that those who are benefiting more from the US's public infrastructure are paying commensurately larger amounts to support it. The infrastructure makes possible private success.
- Chris Lasher
Joe the plumber is worried about that portion of his potential future income that may go above $250,000 changing from a 36% bracket to a 39% bracket. Warren Buffett even understands.
- Tinfoil 2.0
The same argument holds true for complaining about paying taxes on short-term gains in the market. Just pay the taxes on the wins and be happy you made a profit!
- Louis Gray
Jason, I have heard lower-middle income people who didn't want raises because it would put them in a higher bracket. Good employers will work out a deal to help out those employees.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Most people who fear the "higher tax bracket" don't really understand incremental tax brackets.
- Brian Johns
They also don't understand effective tax rate and itemized deductions.

Is your company on Twitter? Here's what I'm seeing: The Evolution of Brands on Twitter http://www.web-strategist.com/blog...

just retweeted the best just retweeted the best strategic roadmap for brands on twitter I've seen so far. strategic roadmap for brands on twitter I've seen so far. I question if brands will need experts to deploy such a strategy. Is this a reverse logistics and customer-driven model? Can startups do this better?

Twitter's still mostly a personal microblogging tool. "Eating lunch. Yum." Who needs that from Disney?
- James Joyner
I hate when brands jump aboard personal services.
- Jamie
they're always one service (at least) behind. Thankfully.

All they need do is replace the corporate logo with a face and I fall for it.

You had me at "face"?

of course

I'm sure we'll see clever brand's usage of twitter within 6-12 months. It's simply too early to judge.

Apple is releasing many new products, smaller, faster, cuter. But do we really need to replace our fully functioning devices?

Apple to launch the iPhone 'nano' in time for Christmas? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/science...

I am still exploring the fun of my Treo. When my original I-Pod Photo 60gig finally dies, then I will upgrade. So not really.
- Mathew A. Koeneker
Definitely. It's not just the hardware, it's software too, that's being 'replaced'. Exciting times :)
- Mona Nomura
Apple ain't the only one, just got a Acer Aspire One to supplement my MacBook Pro. It is smaller and cuter the MBP.
- Nick Cowie
I guess it depends on your definition of "fully functioning". My cell phone worked as a phone but did it have maps, gps, excellent web browsing?no. So it may have been functional at what *it* could do but not in the context of the ideal. Apple is closer.
- Morgan
Apparently this report might not be real ... definitely is interesting and no we don't need to replace them
- Nick O'Neill

Amen. I'm content with a separate mp3 device, phone, and email device. Why? 3 great tools beat mediocre all-in-one
- Andrew Feinberg
Most devices are victims of planned obsolescence. 3 year avg lifespan is built in. One day there may be a true flight to quality, but people would have to radically redefine the way they think about 'stuff'.

their products do create envy, but that's apple--a new tempting garden of tech Eden quarterly.

of course we don't Jeremiah, I am still using my Creative Zen Micro of 2005, 6Gb hd mp3 player and it works very well
- Luca Conti
I don't have anything from Apple. I'm immune to Jobs' mind-control rays. :)
- Morton Fox
Need? No. Do we want to? Oh yes! :D
- Alja Sulcic
size matters, as does form. it's not about just feeds and speeds any more
- Michael Gartenberg
Yes! We must replace because Steve told us to!!! (tho my MBP is starting to grow old... :-)
- Stephen Roberts
What Morton said ;) Money doesn't grow on Moneyplants.
- Yuvi
I'm looking forward to the iPhone Shuffle. It dials randomly whenever you want to make a call.
- Akiva
@Akiva - the iDevelop, the machine you *must* buy if you plan on developing anything on a Mac. It'll be twice the price it should be and will sell like chocolate cakes
- Yuvi
it's not about need at all, it's entirely about want. need is about broken things or a shortage, not an upgrade. thats all want.
- Jeremy Toeman
Thanks Akiva... I was wondering what it feels like to have green tea come out my nose. Now, I know.
- Yolanda
Its funny you mention that, Yuvi. I'd love to develop for the mac - Especially those iPhone apps ( i'd love to have/write a few to better administer my home network a la Remote). Having a high barrier to entry for developers is always prohibitive. With Apple now a household name, more and more applications are going to be needed for the OSX platform. Who is going to write them?
- Roberto Bonini
Apple is mentioned people go ga ga, either for or against. Heck we even have one apathetic in Mr. Fox. But let's see what the real post question is... Do we need them? Well, Mr. O, it's okay if you don't want them, it's okay if you don't like them, but leave need to the people who are in the market for [i+product name here] One note, from my fanboy side, my g4 powerbook (circa 2001) is still working fine. I didn't need a new mac, but I bought an Intel-based MacBookPro. What fine machines they both are. ;-)
