I’d like to file this under “DUH”. Did anyone think diesel fumes were good for them?

For fun, Gruber, on Wintel sales lagging:
Ding-dong, the Wintel witch is starting to slowly wither away.
What I like the most about this cheerleading, that Apple’s PC sales went up 20% and overall PC sales went down ~9%, is reading this chart:
Apple sold 356k more PCs than last…

Search Amazon for “iPad” and the top result is this “Compare iPad 2 vs. Kindle Fire” promotional page.
God, and when I go to the grocery store or go to buy OTC medications, even those assholes at the store have the nerve to pull shit like this!
They actually tell you, right on…
I bet if Apple allowed applications that competed with their own they’d do this. But alas they don’t, even if you had the idea first.

This chart is nuts. And somewhat appalling in the statistics it reveals.

Astonished! I remember this the Rolling Stones article going around, but never read it. I’ll have to remedy that. How do we let politicians get away with this? How many politicians fall under the 1% and benefit from the low tax rate on the capital gains?

One of my lovely customers sent me a message today with this link.
And here is my United/World of Love line:
My heart sank a little bit. The World/United States of Love line that I created is one of the reasons that I was able to quit my full-time job. They even stole the item…

Who says you can’t buy politicians? Not only should they cut oil subsidies, but coal, auto, farm, etc etc, etc.

Really? I can only assume she will also support cutting Representatives pay and benefits as well. I mean it will save money. And they should get what the average American does for healthcare. No better and only while in office.

Coal vs nuclear →

Let’s dump the old school nuclear reactors and move on to molten salt and/or thorium based. Also 4th gen breeder reactors to get rid of all our current nuclear waste. Current waste has a ton of energy left in it to use. It’s like cutting down a tree for energy, only burning the leaves and throwing away the rest in fear of someone taking a piece and starting a fire elsewhere. I’m referring too nuclear poliferation. Processing waste makes plutonium.
