Good points. Especially the app ecosystem for the BlackBerry is needed heavily. Also for Nokia and Sony Ericsson. It doesn't fly as it is right now

Wrt. flight tickets, the integration in Scandinavia is super smooth. I get an sms 24 hours before flight departure, can just reply yes to it to check in (there's also mobile web and voice check-in, but I think the sms is the best). Then, arriving at the airport, I go straight to security and the gate, only using my credit card or airline miles card.

Gmail already supports IMAP -- I use it all the time; on my PC, Mac, and iPhone.

Go to Settings (upper right corner), click Forwarding and POP/IMAP (tab #5 in the settings pane) and then enable IMAP in the bottom.

Agree. We had this in Denmark also, but recently (within the past couple of years I think), legislation was passed that the airline has to market the total price to the consumer upfront. I actually believe this was an EU-wide directive, but can't remember for certain.

Re: Capital Structure 101 for Techies: Why the Bear Sterns Equity Value is Meaningless to Compare to

Agree :-) good to bring clarity to the discussion.

Market cap, however, is not the debt and equity combined, but only the market value of the equity -- i.e. share price times the number of shares outstanding.
