Well, that’s unfortunate. Barnes & Noble has usually been well to the left of Amazon. When an important conservative book comes out, they generally hide it, whereas Amazon is pretty “fair and balanced.”
I have never had any trouble finding conservative books at B&N.
Micrsoft always seems to be the “me too!” company. They never seem to innovate much and always look like they’re playing catch-up to markets others have created and never really perform very well.
Microsoft “Bob”
Microsoft “Playsforsure”
Microsoft “Tablet PC”
Microsoft “Ultimate TV”
Microsoft “Zune”
They have gobs of $ and can easily wait out the downturn.
They don't need to innovate other than their OS. I see Apple as the tortoise, Microsoft as the hare.
I love my Nook.
I bought it and then ripped out all the junk from B&N. A quick install of CM7 and I had a cheap tablet.
I have a Nook Tablet..the Nook Tablet runs on a modified Barnes and Noble ANDRIOD 2.3 Operating System. Just wondering..with Microsoft’s involvement in Barnes and Nobles business..will the Nook Tablet’s operating system be changed to the new Windows 8 OS?
The Nook Tablet is pretty great. I’ve no real problems with it..I honestly don’t see a need for an operating system change at this point, anyway.. just my two cents.
Where would Microsoft be without Apple to rip off? They'd still be selling DOS! (That's where Microsoft got Windows in the first place.)
Like it or not, Apple is worth more than Microsoft.
Apple has had their share of bloopers, but they are more innovative than Microsoft at present, and its reflected in their stock prices.
Yes, at present. But, as I said MSFT is the hare (oops I mean tortoise). Slow and steady wins the race.
BTW...Microsoft has far more shares outstanding. Thus, cost is less.
The nook is a great product already. The are not behind in the market.

apple is the fast hare w/ wiz bang.
MS is slow as mollasis.
then again remember how “experts” made fun of xbox?
They have a better movement interface than the wii and play station is art not product.
Sure they'll still be around and doing OK, but ultra liberal-led companies tend to thrive more under liberal leadership.
Gates is liberal but trashes Obama's "1%" soundbyte. Ballmer gives 50-50 in his political donations. Microsoft has been biding its time and will outlast Apple IMO.
But all remains to be seen.
Is that something like, I have as many pennies as you do hundred dollar bills?
those companies CLAIM to be liberal but the reality is they are more ruthless and conservative than any conservative.
The liberal leftist donations are just them keeping the serfs in serfdom. keeping the thrals on the itunes reservation.
