Unless I am missing something, they contradicted themselves. The graph shows that the recession IS affecting everyone in all the groups equally. They are all a few percentage higher than last September, but the ratio is the same as last Sep

This is fantastic. However can you even imagine a "too many bikes" problem in the USA? My town has many bike lanes but bikes have disappeared from even the college campus at an alarming rate as students come in as freshmen with daddy's SUV

They are crazy to try to buy it back now, unless it's just a ploy to milk more money out of the original sale. There are a bunch of lower cost DIY voip services and Google Voice could crush them in a year.

I'm sorry, this is very wrong to do. If you think it's a pest, kill it without making it suffer but don't make any living thing your plaything while you kill it. This is the sign of a sick society, or at least a sick mind.

You know what I worry about, war becoming too "easy". Drones, robots, etc. with little or no human toll to pay.

Adding premium content means more ads for it and upselling which will make visiting the site less and less pleasant for "free" content. But they will never have competitors as they are the only one that owns the rights to display virtually

Well they get points for honesty, the word "news" doesn't appear anywhere in their heading. But they have have a huge entertainment section. I guess they are the new MTV where the original meaning of their name has been lost, it's just bran

So California is close to being the first failed state despite high taxes on luxury items. Let me guess, CA has low taxes on property, so they have to tax everything else?

Some key quotes in there to think about: RotaTeq costs a little under $4 a dose to make. Merck has sold a total of more than 24 million doses in the US, most for $69.59 a pop (a 17-fold markup) In 19th-century England, Jenner’s s

The phrase "black hole" has no place in that article, that's marketing hype. Black hole works by gravity. Their device works by reducing reflectivity.

It's news that marketeers exagerate to the point of lying in commercials? All they had to do was say it doesn't have CONVENTIONAL blades. But then 90% of the low IQ market this is aimed at wouldn't know what they mean, so they just left ou

Remember how in Babylon5 they would turn in yesterday's printed newspaper to get today's news printed on the recycled pages? I think we are headed that way. Because reading on paper just has a certain handiness to it no matter how sophistic

So when do we invade Canada and "liberate the people" ? Seriously though, isn't Canada's oil in shale and I thought that was the most expensive to produce?
