Could this be an indication of the volume of interest in their $100m investment fund for iPhone applications?

As for my own interest, let’s just say that yesterday I finally broke down and bought the Macbook Pro I had been debating for so long.

I’m filling out this form (pdf), and it asks for my “Title / Position”.

This is obviously an extremely important question that I hadn’t given enough consideration.. what should my title be in my sole proprietorship? I’ve always liked the image conjured by “Czar”, but it doesn’t seem like enough on its own. How do you make it work in the context of a business? “Chief Executive Czar”? Clearly absurd. Additionally, I don’t have any Russian heritage… much more appropriate would be something that ties into my Norwegian background, so at the moment I’m leaning toward “Direktør”.

I welcome any suggestions.
