The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

    Can i give some unsolicited advice?

    Ok i will anyway. I'm no expert, but i used to work on a news program. I have a couple of little tips that might boost your production value:

    - Try a more flat lighting scheme. The left side of her face was a little bit shadowy, and the right side has highlights. Typically, news lighting is very very flat. Something to do with illuminating everything, hiding nothing... But that may be the ex film student in me.

    - Tamara does well for someone who, i presume, hasn't had much experience in presenting. One thing i'd say is to smile less. I'm not saying to be as stony faced as a TV newsreader, but tone it back a little. People find it difficult to focus on information with a pretty girl smiling at them. There's probably a study somewhere to back that up.

    No one might even care about this, but just thought i'd try to help bring more perceived value to your fine site (which i do rather enjoy).
