  • iPhone - All Sizzle, no Steak

    Once again the folks at Apple have demonstrated their ''I know best'' attitude towards their customers. I saw through their iPhone hype and purchased a Sprint Instinct instead. It works GREAT!! As a professional truck driver, I find that the turn-by-turn GPS navigation is awesome. The fact I can watch live TV and get live NASCAR audio radio feed ...

  • mojave/vista

    Microsoft's rush to present another unglitched OS no matter how they choose to diguise it is still the same old s**t. I'm running XPprosp2 and have no intention of supporting Microsoft again. The snake finally has its tail in mouth and hopefully it will ingest itself.

  • Long Tail isn't a Theory and lacks Value

    PUNCHLINE: Anderson's Long Tail Theory is not a true theory and lacks value due to its narrow applicability to general decision science and, or economics. In other words, capital investors and business executives would be well advised to avoid applying the ''Long Tail'' theory to most business decisions - as the dot.com bust proved. A theory is ...

  • music industry's next big scam

    Well, you have to give them credit; the Major Labels aren't going to go quietly. In fact, in most industries, they would have already crumbled, because there are simply too many great bands, that are being promoted by fans [at no charge to the artist], via free website design, you tube video, screen printing,etc. My buddies in Red Line ...

  • Re: incredible to drink 8 glasses a day

    While we're exposing myths, what about the myth that ''the bottled-water industry'' had some kind of board-room conspiracy to ''explode'' the market for bottled water. Markets don't work that way. Sure, many companies have made great profits from selling good old H-2-O but the idea that the the industry somehow ''made it happen'' is pure myth. ...

  • Re: WWJP?

    It would be American-made, wouldn't it. I did find a website hawking some of the stuff, it's priceless in a velveeta sort of way. I may just have to save that picture. ''Get Tight with Christ!''

  • This article is so rediculous

    Cosby is right and this article is just stupid. It is trying to justify wrongs. When the need to justify wrongs appears such as this you see the desperation of people trying to show bad behavior as good. Having lived in black and white neighborhoods. I know Cosby is right on the money. The black man is the first person to shout racism in a ...

  • You're more wrong than Cosby

    So you guys have a twist on this. OK, I'm sure that based on your methodology you are right. Now - how does this serve the black community? Bill Cosby is trying to help lower income black families understand some of the mechanics of their situation. Your study results imply that it is OK to feel good if you forgoe some necessities such ...

  • A social marketing solution

    Perhaps the best way to get the poor to stop spending money on conspicuous goods and start investing in their children's future is to take the power away from their symbols.Those who market the goods are all about putting the power into the symbols.But it takes a whole community to believe the emperor has clothes, and only one person to point out ...

  • "The Secret" in church form

    The gospel of Joel is similar to that of The Secret. Believe you will get a parking space and you will. Take Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and you will be ass successful as Joel. This is also similar to ''The Church of O'' -- that is, the ministry of Oprah Winfrey. Her show is a televised version of ''do what I do and you can be successful ...
