Charles, I only mentioned Canada in response to you wondering whether you'd have to pay tax on your winnings; I have no idea how the IRS works, but here in Canada you'd be fine. I didn't even know Josh was a fellow Canadian......

If you think she resigned of her own choice, you are kidding yourself. This was not about taking accountability, this is about Target firing her under the guise of her resignation.

It's true that Gartner and IDC statistics are questionable. And even if they were accurate, I think market share is less important than ecosystem revenue, product margins, etc. Market share isn't unimportant, and with high-growth...
