SBUX at COMDEX: WHat a joke. Howard Schultz was a laugh at the "smart" peoples show. He was so rediculous that the audiance at the keynote address given by a real innovator-Andy Grove of Intel, actually laughed at his presentation. When people toured the Intel booth and ended up at a Starbucks coffee shop of the future that will never work due to its profit drainning construction costs to be served hot burned coffee, the troops laughed some more. When Howard Schultz took our money and invested in "THE FUTURE", in such flops as JUICE CLUB headed by an emotionally out of control KID, I knew the demise of Starbucks was just around the corner. Come on Howard, the boys at Trinity Ventures your money tree are asking the same question----WHY, WHY, WHY.
