Average Investors And The Google IPO:
Not Easy, Not Interested

Average Investors And The Google IPO:
Not Easy, Not Interested 08/03/2004 09:40 PM
One of the reasons Google claimed they planned to go with a Dutch Auction IPO process was to make sure the Wall Street fat cats didn't run off with all the money and toss the shares to their friends. They said they wanted the "average investor" to be able to take part in the IPO. That seems like a good idea... but there are a couple of problems. It appears many average investors aren't at all interested in Google shares, especially at the price they've set. Even worse, the investment banks (who never liked the whole idea of opening their doors to the riff raff investors anyway) are making it as difficult as possible to sign up to get your shares. Many of the banks are turning away investors as not being "appropriate" or setting up $50,000 to $100,000 initial investment accounts as a requirement to bid. There are a couple of discount brokers who will let you in without a problem, but without a clear indication, most "average users" who call up one of the random underwriters on the list may be shocked to find the $50,000 ante a bit... steep. Instead, we seem to be getting a bunch of people who work their way through the process just so they can see what it's like. That's not quite the way Google was pitching this IPO.

Dell interested in licensing Mac OS X

Dell interested in licensing Mac OS X 06/17/2005 05:53 PM
Dell CEO Michael Dell has said he is interested in licensing Apple's Mac OS X, according to Fortune. "If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Michael Dell wrote in an email to Fortune's David Kirkpatrick. Dell's interest in the possibility of Apple licensing its operating system to PC companies is the first time any PC industry executive has openly shown enthusiasm for selling computers with Apple's software.

Michael Dell Interested in Licensing Mac
OS 06/17/2005 03:18 PM
Some interesting news from Fortune Magazine today, as they discussed the upcoming switch to Intel chipsets for Apple computers with Michael Dell – who, notably – said he’d be interested in licensing Apple’s Mac OS.

Up until this point, many computer corporations have been weary of offending Microsoft by offering alternative products – but lately, Dell has been paving the way in offering their customers choices. Most recently, they’ve offered bundling their server line with Linux, an operating system rivaled by Microsoft. Their strategy remains unchanged to this day – as shown by their openness to license Apple’s software.

"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell wrote in a recent e-mail to David Kirkpatrick, a staff writer for Fortune Magazine. It's the first time any PC industry executive has candidly revealed interest for selling computers with Apple's Mac OS.

However, don’t hold your breath for Apple flavored Dell’s – licensing of their OS won’t occur until Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, gives the okay. In recent press releases, Jobs remains uptight when it comes to licensing to other companies. For now, Apple plans to release Intel supported machines manufactured on its own in the upcoming years.

Battery Brothers not so interested in
truth 01/05/2004 01:29 PM
We've all, I'm sure by now, seen the movie two brothers made about thier iPod's "unreplaceable battery" and them broadcasting the movie they made of thier tech support call, and their defacing apple posters, to the four winds. We may have even read the article that came out over the weekend giving/taking credit for the introduction of the battery replacement program for ipods from Apple as a result of thier movie. (Here's one for 1/2 the price from other people that you can do yourself). So why doesn't the brother's movie site have this info? Are they just out for the publicity? This series of emails seems to prove that, as well as proving the pair of being ungrateful bastids.
