"Notes" . . . ?

Lord Vader just outed himself as a Brit.

1. You called my army "Bloody Imperial troops". You will not live to make another comment on the Engadget for saying that.

2. I am from tatooine, slave, since i just gave my 400th comment that coincides with the "British General Electrocutions", i thought i would give homage to them by using their dialect.

Well, it's also correct. If you read on your "dollar bills" it is a bank note.

Eyerot is right. Not all Apple products sell well. Furthermore, 1 million products moved in a month or so mean it's more than just Apple fanboys (unless half of them are being sold to overseas fanboys on eBay). It's selling twice as fast as the original iPhone, which, despite carrier lockdown and being nearly as expensive, was a lot more "revolutionary".

People are buying a $500 non-necessary gadget.

Recession:

A period of general economic decline; typically defined as a decline in GDP for two or more consecutive quarters. A recession is typically accompanied by a drop in the stock market, an increase in unemployment, and a decline in the housing market. A recession is generally considered less severe than a depression, and if a recession continues long enough it is often then classified as a depression. There is no one obvious cause of a recession, although overall blame generally falls on the federal leadership, often either the President himself, the head of the Federal Reserve, or the entire administration.

While it is true that we may be out of "A" recession. We're still not out of "THE" recession.

I don't know guys, I think this particular recession is a good lesson and a revelation. A revelation that the economy is vicious and in the age of technology, will never be the same...well for the middle class. The middle class will suffer the most from now on. And school...will be more important than ever. Which is ridiculous. Stable, comfortable living will probably only be for business owners. The vast majority without a business will soon want government support in the future. And our country will become like the european countries killing the american way of life.

But that's just my guess. I'm no economics major.]]>May 6th 2010 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/
"While it is true that we may be out of 'A' recession. We're still not out of 'THE' recession."

That is a horribly inaccurate statement. By your own definition, we are neither in "A" recession or in "THE" recession because GDP has been increasing over several quarters.

Is it possible we may see another recession, a "double dip" as they say, or even a depression? Maybe, the recovery is still very fragile, but cheer-leading that we're still in a recession isn't going to help. One should acknowledge that GDP has been growing, employment is turning around, consumer confidence is rising and the stock market is doing well. I do think we should all keep saving or paying off our debt, I was saving well before the recession started, but I don't think we should completely cut off spending some disposable income out of fear that things might get worse; that's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. ]]>May 6th 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/May 7th 2010 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/May 6th 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/shocker-ceas-spending-report-finds-americans-buying-more-techn/May 6th 2010 6:29PM
