With the increase in the amount of people posting things online, and the increase in the amount of people being fired for posting those things online, you would think that people would tend to refrain from saying things related to their employer on the internet were the entire world can see. Nope. Not when it [...]
I cannot believe it … I simply cannot believe it. I actually agree with President Bush on an issue. I am shocked! Not because of any political allegiances (I have none), but because usually (well, I think every time up until now), I have disagreed with everything Bush has ever done. But today, today I [...]
So while reading engadget the other day I saw that they managed to get an interview with Reggie Fils-Aime (he is a big guy at Nintendo for those who do not know). The interview was pretty good, and touched on some of Nintendo’s current and upcoming hardware/software, as well as their competition. I particularly liked [...]
In today’s tale of the not-so-bright, eight people in Japan fell victim to a scam which had them giving a phony investor money in exchange for a fake $1M (US) dollar bill. Now usually I feel bad for people duped into scams, because some scams are so good that any reasonable person could fall victim. However, [...]
Well it looks like Canada is finally on its way to become one of the richest nations in the world now that their sandy oil reserves are being utilized. Now I knew there was money in oil, but had no clue there was this type of money in oil:
This oil belongs to the Province of [...]
Even though I am not surprised by the move, it saddens me that Ford is slashing 30,000+/- jobs in North America.

[...]
Go Google go! In a slightly daring move, Google has decided to deny the Bush Administration access to search request data. I say daring because the Bush Administration is known for their comply-or-die mentality.
Anyways, it appears that the Bush Administration wants the data to examine how much porn is accessible to minors when conducting searches. [...]
I cannot believe Google just paid $1,000,000,000 (yes, that is $1 Billion) to purchase a measly 5% of AOL. It makes no sense. Owning 5% of AOL gives Google absolutely no controlling power over AOL. None, nada, zip. If AOL wanted to turn around and sell 51% to Microsoft tomorrow they could, and Google could [...]
I know, I know. Just from the sound of the title you would immediately think “yeah right.” Well, if you are among the lucky ones in San Diego who are attached to the not-so-fabulous Blue Shield HMO plan, then you would know first hand that outsourcing of health care is not only an idea, it [...]
I hate bad news. I really really hate bad news. So just one day after I got my confirmation email from Apple that my iPod Nano is in the mail and on its way to my house, I run across this little tid-bit of information concerning the machine. Grrrrr.
I guess in some fashion it is [...]
