Google phone
On the contrary to regular phones, Google phone has an Operating System made by Google. They call it Android platform.
I used it for 2 days and I am not very impressed. It's a new phone, ugly and I don't see it being better than iphone at this point.
My opinion is that it will be better to buy in the next one or maybe two years.
Anyone has tried it?

why go to premium cars?
few years ago a luxury car had what a regular car has today.
I just bought the new Alfa Romeo Mito. It compares to size to cars like Punto, Mini Cooper, etc.. Mini Cooper is a different category of what we call a premium luxury car.
So my new question here is .. Alfa Vs Mini.
Winner by far far far is Alfa.
better design.. better feeling.. faster... better consumption..
oh God and so so so so so beautiful . On the contrary Mini Cooper is to find women who have no idea about cars :)
So my question is why to go to a premium car when there is Alfa.. Sorry I meant to say when there are better better cars.

Paying for Comics with Movies
Stephen W. Saffel suggested that Disney (which will own Marvel Comics) and Warner Bros. (which owns DC Comics) should "decide that it's time for comics to become ubiquitous once again".
Disney has announced their intention to purchase the Marvel corporation which would mean that the two main comic book companies would be owned by major media corporations which also make movies. Disney and Warner Bros. can use the stable of comic book characters they each own to produce films. They can also easily publish comic books about the characters from their movie productions.
A controversial idea would be to make comics "ubiquitous" by making them more affordable. Marvel already could have decreased the paper quality or even art quality if they had wanted to target children with limited budgets. I assume that Mr. Saffel intends Disney to subsidize comics with profits from the movies that would be made about the characters made popular by the comic book medium.
I agree that if it would work, Disney should definitely look at the overall picture of profit between movies and comic books that tie together. Corporations, especially larger ones, can have a difficult time setting up incentives to encourage this kind of cooperation and big picture thinking.
Effectively comic books would be what's called a "loss leader" for movies but it is hard to balance when a loss leader is just a waste and when it drives success elsewhere in the business. In this case the loss leader acts as an idea factory for movies and many of those new stories would fail to gain an audience.

who cares about the bell??
pencils put away, notebooks folded, backpacks zipped up, students ready to get out of the class long before the bell rings. everyone's interested in taking a break than paying attention to the class. but wait. once upon a rare time everyone's hooked into the class. no one's rushing to the door, instead everyone's listening to the teacher waiting for him to finish before getting out. no one cares about the bell. this, in my view, is the best sign that students are learning. the teacher whose performance results in students not wanting to rush to their break is a truly exceptional teacher. in my opinion, teachers should be evaluated based on the minutes it takes for students to rush out of the class before and after the bell rings. this is a universal sign of interest and as such it should be adopted as a teacher performance metric everywhere!!

Shop-it-yourself Restaurants!
What do you think of a new type of restaurant where the customers bring the ingredients for the meal and the chef cooks it for them? I'm thinking the idea will appeal to people who enjoy shopping for groceries and food but don't want to spend time cooking after. A good idea would be to have the restaurant conveniently located close to food markets. Nothing is charged for the meal and profit is made from monthly/annual membership fees. It's obviously a members-only restaurant. The menu is advertised online offering details on the ingredients/quantities so that customers know what to bring with them and book a table in advance. What's your opinion? Can such business do well?
