Could not care less, as in you care about it so little that there is no way you could care any less about it. If you could care less, it means that you do still care about it a bit.]]>Aug 13th 2008 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/
Just saying...]]>Aug 13th 2008 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/
A modern recession can't be quantified in terms of negative growth anymore. Businesses, for example, banks and such that have been going under these days have been hiding debt in creative ways that simply don't show up in their statements, painting a false picture. This practice is quite widespread, and a great many financial institutions are nearly or technically insolvent right now.

Bear Stearns was thought to be worth $18 billion right when it tanked, if I'm not mistaken.

It's like how many times I've seen people misspell (or maybe a product of misspelling in such a way that spellchecker only gives the best intended match) "definitely" as "defiantly". As in, "I defiantly love you." It has the complete opposite meaning of what you intend, as does the title Joshua wrote here.]]>Aug 13th 2008 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/Aug 13th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/Aug 14th 2008 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/Aug 13th 2008 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/

Typos are one thing, misunderstanding the meaning of a phrase is another. For the most part, people only hear phrases like this spoken so when it comes time to put them into print, they just don't know how.

How many times have you seen these in print (which are all wrong by the way):
Couldn't care a less
irregardless
spitting image
For all intensive purposes

Anyway....]]>Aug 13th 2008 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/Aug 13th 2008 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/Aug 13th 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2006/10/why-do-we-say-spitting-image.html

Hence: "Intel calls Atom a "perfect recession product" as it plays well into people's desire to pick up a second PC or a low-cost small computer for kids."]]>Aug 13th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/
But I think the more interesting story here is in the emerging markets - countries whose economies are continuing to grow, such as Nigeria, South Africa, and Indonesia - where power-outs, diesel generators, and enormous UPSs are ubiquitous for whom power is of a paramount concern. Atom is great from a cost perspective, but its really the low power consumption of an Atom-powered system with laptop components (such as our Aleutia Williwaw PC) that will give Intel a formidable edge in these robust economies.

We've learned that Via (or even AMD) just doesn't have the brand power. IT is so relatively expensive in emerging markets that purchasers tend to be enormously conservative and again, Intel garners has an advantage there. ]]>Aug 15th 2008 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/Aug 13th 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/intel-atom-is-early-success-could-care-less-about-this-recessio/

Anyway:

"The roots of this expression can be traced through British history as far back as the Middle Ages [2] and is [...] "He is his father's spit and image"."

http://www.bartleby.com/68/73/5673.html

A hundred years from now, "he could care less" may end up meaning "he couldn't care less". =)
