Too many "uhs and umms" in this clip for my taste

“Safari.” Yes, I would hope by now anyone reading here can read between the lines. Those of us that surf-a-lot or surf for business reasons are crazy to not be doing it on a Mac. By coincidence I was configuring two laptops. An older (obsolete) HP PC 2yrs old, and a fully serviceable nearly new 2yr old iBook. The PC took hours and countless inputs and reboots and the first test of the internet necessitated downloading anti-spyware. The iBook took three reboots (10.4.x, 10.4.8 combo, security update) and didn’t even ask for a serial number.

Time is money. Frustration wastes time. Security is money. For anyone claiming to be data driven the conclusion is obvious.

Let’s not turn this into a pc vs. mac event. Both have pro’s and con’s. The one universal truth when it comes to picking a camp is to go with what serves your needs best. Believe it or not, this can and does vary.

MAS commented on Oct 16

Very good performance. It’s nice to hear you finish a thought without Kudlow cutting you off mid-sentence. I hope you do more appearances on ROB TV.

So, the YouTube founders, who were all former employees of PayPal, walk off with $1.65 billion of GOOG stock. Big news. So Ben Charney at MarketWatch writes a story about it. And any reporter worth his salt get’s a quote from PayPal’s founder, Peter Thiel. And the quote, describing one of the technology visionaries is:

“He helped design the original PayPal T-shirts….”

Wow. What a ringing endorsement of the kid’s tech savviness. He HELPED design a t-shirt. That’s the best comment he could make about the guy?

No mention is made if the kid also designs sweaters.

hopefully he can design the RCP sweater / t-shirt line

I think you did a great job IMHO. The ums weren’t really intrusive- only covering for a brief thought pause. By the way you were right. Safari ran it without a hitch.
lurker commented on Oct 16

I think he’s done “working” for a living. He may buy a few sweaters though. Ya never know.

Here is what Peter Grandich says about Rob TV….

I actually watched CNBC-TV with the sound on and if I didn’t know any better, I could have sworn they rang a bell for the top in gold and bottom in equities and I missed it. Is it just me, or is anyone else not going to be surprised to see the CNBC-TV anchors all wearing DOW 12,000 hats and blowing those New Year’s Eve gadgets in preparation for the second coming of the great equity bull market? For the love of God, please just watch CNBC’s counterpart in Canada, http://www.robtv.com just one day so you can realize exactly how biased and unprofessional most of CNBC-TV really is – (and how classy all of ROB-TV is).

Whoa… this is the first time I’ve seen you post an embedded video of a TV appearance here, Barry, and the effect is great- I really got the emphasis of your bottom line argument from the video here in a way that wouldn’t be possible from written text, no matter how eloquent or well-reasoned it is… Seeing you physically talking appears to make your argument stronger…
KirkH commented on Oct 16

I wish the top econ bloggers knew how grab skype Video discussions. Hell, I’d even buy the cameras if it meant we’d get a thoughtful alternative to CNBC. You could just do a little editing and upload episodes to YouTube, then embed them in the blog.

BNN? This would be a good open source project if used with Ogg… Just checked, they’re already doing it.

So the gate-mouth lady (yes, no sweater for her, dammit) is not speaking with a lisp I take it and I have been pronouncing Ritholtz with an unnecessarily hard edge.
Now if her colleague in the suit had shown up in a sweater, would she have appeared in that sweater? You know it. He was probably warned that 1 sweater was all the show could manage. Business has to look better than busy.
muckdog commented on Oct 16

Not bad, BR. I don’t know why the clothing police here are giving you such a bad time. Who cares.
m3 commented on Oct 16
