TALKBACK:
In response to: Sprint Nextel To Pare Distribution, Don Graff, retailer/consumer: "Can you say ... 'Pocket'? I know of (8) people who've dropped Sprint and switched to 'Pocket-Phones'. At $25 per phone, who wouldn't?
In response to: Sears Holdings Reorganizing By Product Category, a third-generation Sears employee: "If you go back in Sears history around 15 years, you'll find that Sears already DID this type of restructuring and it failed. Among other things, it lead to much duplication of jobs, particularly in the upper echelons (over 200 VPs) which lead later on to severe job/headcount cutbacks starting at the BOTTOM rungs."

Genius Loves Company
"As a New Yorker, cynicism is my natural state. As a journalist, it's my occupation. So when someone acts solicitously, my bullshit antenna rises Pavlovian-like. Why would someone do something nice for me? What's their angle?
For retailers, the answer of course is simple: They want my return business. But fewer and fewer retailers seem to want my cynical patronage."

Battlefield Heroes: Play 4 Free, Until You Want Something
"We interrupt this blog post for a word from our sponsors …
Not really, but that's along the lines of what you might find in BF Heroes. While in-game advertising is common enough in sports and racing games, EA hopes to bring this revenue stream to shooters! The game will be free but players will have to endure in-game ads."
