19:46.04elgwow, I have never heard a more ludicrous statement
19:46.08elg"And that, you could argue, is an indicator of relative brand strength: McDonald's doesn't have to have four stores in a single block, because people will come to the one that they do have. Everyone else has to shout a lot louder to compensate."
19:46.10elghttp://www.fastcompany.com/1567356/infographic-of-the-day-what-fast-food-chains-dominate-the-us
20:04.46jsmithelg: I agree...
20:18.18VoidByteI think there is some truth in that statement. The fact that as you travel down a street in Seattle there are starbucks as far as the eye can see does hurt the ability for independent coffee shops to exist/run in the same area.
20:21.38*** join/#utah SunSparc (~sparky@173-8-91-177-Utah.hfc.comcastbusiness.net)
20:40.32elgVoidByte: yes, but the assertion is exactly the opposite
20:40.52elgthat mcdonalds doesn't have to have one every 4 blocks because people will go to the one mcdonalds in town because they love mcdonalds so much
20:43.01elglooks to me like mcdonalds' strategy is be ubiquitous in markets where they're strong (poor culinarily unsophisticated people), and have enough stores elsewhere to keep the people coming who they've roped into not hating them and going out of habit
20:43.18VoidByteThat is a convulted sentence they wrote.
20:43.45elgit does make less sense out of context
20:44.33elgthe paragraph context is that other stores try to dominate the market in number of stores in areas where they're strong. they're focusing on certain markets. mcdonald's supposedly has a more uniform distribution (though it's not at all obvious from the pretty graph).

22:43.01mecworksThere's been a buy-out offer made on Novell it seems. An investment firm will likely trim down further and spit/sell portions of company off. If IBM and other companies still want Novell around, hopefully they wont let it happen either. It's always been in IBM's best interest to have strong competitors in the Linux market. After Hours: 6.03 +1.28 (26.95%)
22:48.27mp_maybe they can replace it with a tiny monument to poor executive strategy
22:48.36tensai"it attempted to diversify away from its original business with a string of acquisitions and changes in focus 'that have largely been unsuccessful.'"
22:48.45tensaino kidding
22:49.24jsmithYou think?
22:49.56jsmithwonders if there's someone behind Elliott pulling the strings
22:51.21tensaijsmith: arrivaltel must be doing well if elliott can fork out 1.8 billion dollars
22:51.47jsmithtensai: Yeah, but if so, they misspelled his name :-/
22:52.11tensaijsmith: I'd let them misspell my name for $1.8 billion
22:52.51jsmithtensai: That's right, Kory!
22:54.32tensaijsmith: I accept cash or money order or certified checks
23:00.50Jayce^mecworks: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-03-02/novell-gets-2-billion-takeover-bid-from-elliott-update1-.html
23:03.45sjansenPerhaps they plan on outsourcing Novell's management.
23:05.04tensaigood thing novell got rid of eric schmidt when they did. who knows what havoc he might have wreaked.
23:05.11tensaijust look how he's ruined google
