Amazon shareholders have indeed done well, provided they sell today. They haven't made any money at all until AFTER they have sold. This is a perpetual misunderstanding people make which leads them to major grief when stock prices crash. Maybe that is being pedantic, but it is a vital and subtle difference. So your meaning is true, but taken literally, Amazon shareholders might find they suddenly are not as rich as they thought. Yahoo! up $60 at one stage and hovering around $400 for the day. Good grief, they are going up daily by more than Q! market capitalization. We are watching one of the great events in world history in the making. Live, as seen on The Web! While the theme, that the Web is so vital that all associated with it should have a total market capitalization around $300,000,000,000,000,000 [$300,000 trillion, being $100,000 for each of about 3 billion people], it is a leap of faith to assign such a big chunk of that value to Yahoo! at such an early stage. But for all I know, maybe Yahoo! will get 1% of that market value, so Yahoo! is STILL a bargain. Personally, I think Q! is more likely to get a big chunk of that value due to control of the gate to the WWeb. Those who control the chips, collect the tolls. So far, "Ramses' Curse" has not affected Q! or the markets. A while ago, I asked what a "Hummer" was in relation to Clinton - I got no answer but the Web told me. You can see Hummers in action here: hummer.com On hagfish mating, I have no idea, but imagine it to be a very slimy business - much like negotiating with L M Ericsson. Interestingly, there don't appear to be any baby hagfish. The smallest found are already quite large. I suppose the quite large eggs are laid inside seafloor carrion and the babies don't have to leave home, thereby getting caught, until they are already well grown and the carcass is consumed. It just happens that at the moment I DO have some inside information. I'm told to keep an eye out for the cellular convention in March. There should be a new handset line coming out that should impress even Tero on every point except for battery life. The phone will be about 8mm thick [I was told 0.3 inches but what such a weird unit]. This IS the web, so I can't guarantee that, but I heard it from a very reliable source. I also heard that Q! had been using employees to test handsets. Of course the happy, intelligent and careful Q! staff aren't going to give handsets realtime, 3D, on-the-street treatment. Hand a few out in El Segundo - they'll see whether they're bullet proof and easy enough to use. That has been resolved now apparently. Mquarkice PS: You can read a few unanswered questions about quarks here: phy.cuhk.edu.hk I'll provide answers soon. Also, on the value of The Web, $100,000 is too cheap. I would pay much more than that for it - when it has developed a bit more. It is worth $100,000 to me right now. Actually, more than that right now.
