Charles was heavily criticised in January when he and the Duchess of Cornwall flew to Philadelphia with 12 staff to pick up an award from Mr Gore honouring him as an environmentalist. That trip created 20 tons of carbon dioxide.

Looking at all the waste generated by the Bali climate summit and the sad results, maybe they should start using this system for everyone and for all summits, like the Kryptonian senate but without the wacky foil tunics . [The Mail on Sunday]

One thing we learned with the iPod is that when a device is game-changing, the demand will come…However, it is difficult to predict the inflection point. For example, in December 2004, Street expectations for iPod ran wild with investors anticipating 8 million iPods, but Apple only sold 4.6 million. It was feared at the time that the iPod would never go mainstream.

Conversations with investors over the past month suggest awareness of potential for iPhone units is high, but awareness of potential resulting impact to earnings is low…if Apple can sell 45 million units in CY09, the earnings power and historical multiple ranges suggest our price target is reasonable.

So as long as Munster gets the rest of Wall Street on board, he’s ready to party. 45 million units sound good to everyone else? [appleinsider]
