This is all basic stuff to someone who knows how business works but still interesting. More interesting would have been a breakdown of the margins component makers make, not just the revenues, same with Apple on the iPhone, and the NPV of an iPhone user to AT&T. How do you discount those revenues?

FT's Editor: The Wall Street Journal Wants To Be Like Us - http://www.businessinsider.com/fts-edi...
Duh. The FT is the best newspaper in the world, bar none. Saying the WSJ wants to be like it is like saying Fernando Alonso wants to be more like Schumacher -- no shit.

tellement évident que Loïc s'amuse à titiller ceux qui ne comprendront pas que c'est du second degré. De toutes façons, on peut toujours déposer : le dépôt ne signifie pas que la marque soit valide. Elle peut toujours être contestée via une action en déchéance. Et ce qui vaut pour loïc vaut pour les "rue du".

"Naturally, taking care of a baby is a chore on its own, but getting pregnant is my present challenge. In less than two weeks, I will be ovulating, which as everyone should know is primetime for baby making. The problem is that I don't yet have a partner for this process. Now, I'm not looking for a source of child support or a baby-daddy in the sense that he should have any supportive role in the pregnancy or in raising the child, I just need some good, hearty seed."

To each their own, but I think my commentary as a mother, would be too large for this forum. Lets just say that this woman seems a bit immature, despite her planning to be otherwise.

- Mathew A. Koeneker
you would be surprised how many 1st world women are like this. it is one of those things that make the feminist movement a moot point when we deal with Madonna or Paris Hilton archetypes the male is disposable. my mother wrote a play in the 80's called "Generic Father" and it pretty much deals with this. While yes women are looking for a strong male for support, if their support system is already strong like in upper class families then this could be a libidinal desire to rid of the male.
- Noah David Simon
one of the mistakes the egalitarians have made is in assuming there aren't libidinal drivers guiding women. The more we learn about women the more we find that they have instincts just like men do and the huge mistake of Gloria Steinem and her ilk is in assuming that these instincts could be parallel to men. The desire to mother is not culturally learned. If a woman finds herself without needs for financial support, then her driving motives in looking for a mate could be very different.
- Noah David Simon
a woman in this type of situation might surround herself with weak candidates. Again her needs to mother and care for the weak kick in. She might even be very hostile to strong men... at the point where she decides she wants a healthy baby she might be more happy with the DNA of stranger outside of her sphere. How can we offer people happiness if we pretend to understand what happiness is along male metaphor?
- Noah David Simon
I'm surprised the reaction here is so negative. She is right that her fertility is peaking. Have any of you struggled with fertility? She seems to be somewhat stable and certainly more qualified to be a single mom than some of the single moms I have known. Would it be better if she pretended to be in love with some loser for two weeks? I say she should go for it.
- Clare Dibble
=Clare, I can't find what there is to criticize here. Certainly one always approaches single parenthood with some trepidation, but she sounds like she's examined the alternatives and found them wanting. Also, where does this whole commodity/doesn't-want-to-be-a-mother idea come from? I don't see that in there.
- j1m
I think her attitude is a bit flippant, but there is some truth in it. Males contribution to the birthing procedure is only minimal. That being said, I think life is easier and more enjoyable as a couple, and having a child on her own will reduce her chances of finding a mate. (When I was 25 and looking, I excluded women with children. I might feel differently if I was 35).
- Robert Felty
Of course Clare and j1m make some good points. Another good point comes from one of the comments on the blog. The potential donor could be liable for child support payments through the law. That is more of a risk for the donor though.

I think it is a joke. I'm in Poughkeepsie New York and every year a precocious Vassar girl who thinks she is different then ever other generation of contrarian feminists that came before her comes along and tries to shock people. Right now we have the girl who played the Princess in the Nutcracker at ABT claiming that she only has sex with nazi skin heads because it satisfies her Jewish fetish. Anything for attention... but there is a very real libidinal desire of young girls for a doll to play with...
- Noah David Simon
I find the reactions here to be more telling then this little shocker of the story. It takes parenting a child to understand how important a father is. People seem to glamorize the fact that Obama didn't have a father... as if this is a great qualification. It certainly makes them very aggressive and introverted and perfect for politics, but in the end morally lacking. Bill Clinton didn't have a father either... and the list goes on in a generation of scandal we find that fathers were rejected.
- Noah David Simon
While generalising and stating a father is unnecessary is no good, stating people without a father become aggressive and introverted and perfect for politics, is just as well a generalisation, hence no good.
- Irma Vermaat
I wonder if sperm are really purple.
- Keith Shepard
no Irma. I think a powerful man without a father figure is dangerous. and I don't mean "g-d" as role model or a symbolic abstraction. I mean a very close talking and trusting relationship with a person who has your DNA. for me my grandfather changed me. I spent time with him before he died and it defined me. I don't trust people who don't have these relationships. Role models are so important. this is no generalization that should be rejected. you must eat... I make that discrimination as well.
- Noah David Simon
I grew up around so many kids that were adopted. most of them did not turn out as well adjusted as those that had a positive link to their past. My best friend was a Chinese kid who was adopted into a Jewish home. I hear he is now stable, but only after finally meeting his genetic family and going to college and learning Mandarin. His sister who was half puerto rican and half Jewish did not fare as well when she met her mom who turned out to be a loser. Life is cruel.
- Noah David Simon
@Another - Most single mothers tend to be poor and uneducated. Surely the poor and uneducated part has a lot to do with how their children turn out. Personally, I would not choose to be a single parent, but if someone chooses to do so with foresight (i.e. not by "accident"), I think that should be their prerogative
- Robert Felty
Robert I am speaking about the adopted children of one of the wealthier families in Montclair NJ. The parents are both lawyers. I failed to even mention their North Korean child who burned their house down. Many wealthy famlies like John McCain's family adopt children from poor countries. The children are rarely as successful as their counterparts who have a genetic link to the wealthy family.
- Noah David Simon
also Robert I'm not talking about poor people. I'm talking about wealthy women who should probably get a chiuaua.

Ce qui est drôle c'est que contrairement à ce que beaucoup de gens croient, la chanson "Cocaine" n'est pas un "hommage" à l'abus de drogue mais bien au contraire une chanson qui déplore l'addiction... Je sais, aucun rapport. J'ai vu Huckabee sur Colbert y'a quelques jours, et tu comprends vraiment comment autant de gens ont pu voter sur ce mec. Il est extrêmement abordable et il a l'air vraiment sincère (probab parce qu'il l'est...)
- Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry
Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi. Ce mec a l'air sympa et je le trouve assez drôle au demeurant.

Malgré la bonne volonté de l'auteur, c'est parfois ardu à suivre.

C'est le style de Scott McCloud. Le comic fait aussi référence à pas mal de concepts techniques de programmation qui sont peut être difficiles à intégrer si on les rencontre pour la première fois...

I have sympathy, but frankly, their service is horrible and hasn't shown any sign of improving - in fact, it has only gotten worse! I'm done with Twitter.

In the US many people come to a restaurant with their own wine bottle. First time I see it. Very rare in France and the restaurant hates U

most restaurants in the US that allow it charge a fee
- Jeff Quinton
Same thing in Montreal. Being French I was surprised too. Actually good wines are really expensive here so it's not a bad idea. It's called "apportez votre vin."
- fbrunel
seems rude to me.

It's called BYO in Australia and perfectly acceptable
- Kate Foy
never heard of this before!

if you saw how the Chef had fun of the guy in his back...
- Loic Le Meur
As Kate mentions, we call it BYO in Australia. It's fairly common because not every restaurant has a liquor license. Where they do have a license corkage is often charged if BYO is still an option.
- Duncan Riley
i would consider this a gauche maneuver. *shrug*
- mike
Very common and acceptable in the US, especially in affluent areas such as the SF bay area and LA. Most restaurants do not mind as they charge a corkage fee, usually proportional to the cost of the food and wine they serve.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I saw it in a few places in Cyprus too. But then you either pay a fee or bring a bottle for the Chef too. :)
- Leonid Mamchenkov
what? how rude! besides restaurants don't make any money on the food, only wine, so it's an incredibly boorish thing to do.
- Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry
never heard before... can you bring your own food too? *lol*
- Dieter Schwarz
No licence, no wine! That's why BYO + corkage. Of course restaurants make money on food!
- Kate Foy
In Portugal, never seen that also, but the profit margins on the food are small, compared to the ones on the drinks, especially for the good wines.
- Mário Pires
Some restaurant allow the practice, but it is mostly limited to "Private Kitchens" which charge a corkage fee anyway.

I meant "in Hong Kong", some restaurants - mostly "private kitchens" - allow the practice and charge a corkage fee.

Sure its common in the US but most restos will charge a corkage fee. Its REALLY common in California. Impossible here in Quebec.
- Aaron deMello
Very common on the east coast of US here in NJ. Restaurants advertise it here.
- Bob
Common here in PA too, since liquor licenses are strictly controlled. You could sell a run-down shack here if a liquor license came with it!
- Ro (Lilyhill)
geez, strange idea.here belgium you better not do that..ever
- Ben Borges
It's one of the inevitable reactions to the sometimes OUTRAGEOUS mark-ups that restaurants charge on wine. If they continue to look on it as a licence to print money, they shouldn't be surprised when other establishments allow BYOB.
- Iain Baker
fucking Americans - got no class
- Marc Canter
Some restaurants do this because they haven't paid for a liquor license, so instead of losing customers who want to booze it while eating, they allow you to bring your own.
