Wall Street Wakes-Up to the Folly of Samsung’s Volume Strategy
People are finally beginning to see that just because you “ship” more units, it doesn’t translate into an efficient or profitable sales strategy.

Hidden iOS 7 settings show new features, including hiding pre-installed apps, folders inside folders, and more Leave a comment
"In addition to the several new user-facing features introduced by Apple for iOS 7, hidden settings inside the new system have revealed that Apple has been testing other new enhancements. Hamza Sood discovered the hidden settings options, and these toggles reveal additional gesture, multitasking, and folders options," Mark Gurman reports for 9to5 Mac.
"The settings are not readily available to users of the iOS 7 beta, but acces requires some unspecified tweaking," Gurman reports.
I'm getting really eager to see and use the new iOS. It really look promising and fun!
C’Ville Ride Leave a comment
Great ride to C’Ville Wednesday. Started out at 26 degrees and broken Aerostich pants. The zipper pull ended up breaking off after the third repair attempt in Berkeley Springs. I ended up taping the pants with electrical tape!
The DOJ's last best chance in the Apple e-book case has passed Leave a comment
If the government couldn't nail Eddy Cue -- and it didn't -- how's it going to win?
FORTUNE -- The Department of Justice spent a little over three hours Thursday cross-examining Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue -- the alleged "ringmaster" of an illegal conspiracy to raise the price of e-books -- and when it was over it wasn't clear whether the government had let its last best chance slip through its fingers or whether it never had a chance at all.
Too bad the gummint can't frame big, bad, Apple, Inc. in a mythological conspiracy to raise the price of e-books. Now who will they pick on?

Marginal GS/PD conditions! Leave a comment
This winter was endless and this was the first GS/PD ride I was able to take in quite a while. It was on the top of the ridge at Laurel Summit, off RT 271 south of Johnstown. Elevation 2743′
The road was very icy, snowy and muddy and I had to ride the tire-track-width space to get to the end of the trail – an old gas well – nearly 7 miles down the road. And back.
The ride was relatively sloppy but I didn’t dump the bike, so that’s a good thing. Bottom line, any crappy day on a bike is better than any beautiful day in a car. A set of Continental TKC-80 knobbies aired down to about 20lbs of air pressure makes the job a bit easier, too!
