Nanker Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Of course he was. But price point setting is only one skill he excelled at.
DC Tom Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Apple and the publishing industry get accused of collusion and price fixing, and they're response is... "Well, we only did it because Amazon's a monopoly."
DC Tom Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Well, I was 100% behind DoJ's pursuit of Apple and the publishers. Before I read this... "For the growing number of Americans who want to take advantage of this new technology, the Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that e-books are as affordable as possible," Just to be clear, Mr. Holder: Combating price fixing and illegal market manipulation: DoJ's job. Making e-books affordable: NOT DoJ's job, you stupid !@#$. I'm still behind it, of course...just not behind Holder, who's progressively making Ashcroft look well-grounded.

Last I checked those were books were fairly "affordable". Edited April 13, 2012 by Chef Jim

I'm going to take the "moderate independent" view of this, which is to say I will not have an opinion and simply suggest you guys sound shrill.

It's really amuzing to watch you tell other people that they're too thin skinned. Edited April 13, 2012 by RI Bills Fan
IDBillzFan Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 It's really amuzing to watch you tell other people that they're too thin skinned. You're easily amused. In the meantime, you should probably stick to topics where you fully understand why certain comments are made.

Nanker Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Gotta hand it to these Chicago thugs. They certainly know how to bring out the brass knuckles and extort money use the government's power of coercion to the fullest extent possible. Just think of the dozens of new jobs that BO will be able to claim he created - the US Department of eBook Pricing and the Council on Profit Limitation and Fairness. That, and the money they save Americans who buy eBooks will catapult the economy into full recovery by the end of the third decade after the last year of his second term - according to the CBO.

Come on stupid, stopping price fixing and market manipulation will supposedly make them affordable. That's what he meant Come on stupid, stopping price fixing and market manipulation will supposedly make them affordable. That's what he meant And boy oh boy did tech stocks get hammered today!

Alaska Darin Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 You're such a !@#$ing tool. Nah. Tools have actual uses.
