| 19:46.04 | elg | wow, I have never heard a more ludicrous statement |
| 19:46.08 | elg | "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." |
| 19:46.10 | elg | http://www.fastcompany.com/1567356/infographic-of-the-day-what-fast-food-chains-dominate-the-us |
| 20:04.46 | jsmith | elg: I agree... |
| 20:18.18 | VoidByte | I 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. |

| 20:40.32 | elg | VoidByte: yes, but the assertion is exactly the opposite |
| 20:40.52 | elg | that 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 |
| 20:43.01 | elg | looks 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 |
| 20:43.18 | VoidByte | That is a convulted sentence they wrote. |
| 20:43.45 | elg | it does make less sense out of context |
| 20:44.33 | elg | the 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). |

| 22:43.01 | mecworks | There'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.
