Sex and Lucia


SexAndLucia.jpg

Sex and Lucia is one of the most beautiful movies I have seen this year. The scenes were almost over powering at times. The locations in Marid and Formentera, Balearic Islands make me want to move. Other than the a short bit in the beginning I forgot about the subtitles, at times they were not needed to tell the story. Similar to Memento and Pulp Fiction the chronology is morphed to good affect. As an added bonous Paz Vega as Lucia is a refreshingly non Hollywood image of beauty, no implants, no bleach.

The Million dollar question

Steve Ballmer On Microsoft’s Future

Most analysts think the price of Windows to our hardware customers, people like Dell Inc. (DELL ), is about 50 bucks. If you stop and think about it, most people are going to own their PCs for four years. So do we offer $12 a year of value where you can run tremendously more applications, it’s tremendously easier to take care of? It’s $12 a year when people are spending $90 to $100 a month on cell-phone bills, and we’re talking about saving you hours and hours of time. I think it’s a pretty good value proposition, myself.

Which assumes that the customer is the consumer when in reality it is Dell. Now $12/year for how many MILLIONS of desktops, laptops and servers. So the real question, Does Windows provide $12,000,000 of value each year to Dell?
