Tebow Redeemed? →
If you are what your record says you are, then Tebow at 4-1 must be considered at this moment, one of the best. And yet… he’s just awful.

I write it because I have been watching football since I was sucking a bottle, and I have two working eyes.

Market Share vs. Profit →
While the graphs are interesting, the contrast of Apple’s current phone lineup (exactly four devices) vs. Samsung’s current lineup (quickly approaching 140 devices, not all running Android) far better illustrates why Samsung can sell and sell and sell, and not make any money.
