You can tell a trend is reversing when everyone has bought in to flawed logic. In this case, the idea that no one would go shopping on Friday when unemployment and gas are at historically low points.

The economic “rebound” started last week, and the stock market will start to turn around in February. You’ll read about it in June, when the media puts two and two together.

I pick on religion because in this case because most religions have policy in place that supposedly holds it’s members to a “higher standard”

I do believe all that preaching has become counter productive.

And, you think 47% cheating rate is low? that’s 3 out of 7! This kinda percentages are only low in elections if you lost.

“An overwhelming majority, 83 percent, of public school and private religious school students admitted to lying to their parents about something significant, compared to 78 percent for those attending independent non-religious schools.”

“Despite no significant gender differences on exam cheating, students from non-religious independent schools had the lowest cheating rate, 47 percent, compared to 63 percent of students attending religious schools.”

Of course if God isn’t going to get you for being a lier/cheater…

Anyone who assumes that any game isn’t rigged unless they know the players and can see everything in person…

Net books are _cheap_ but the real story is size. Not sure if this will last. Nobody stuck with the basic idea. Small and cheap. Of course I’d like small but not all that cheap if I can get a little more power.

Okay, I’m not buying because I just don’t need one.

So who figured the market share for MS and how? I know a lot of people and places that seem to be using a lot of linux machines and openoffice.

Apple seems to be doing great with laptops in the states but in most countries the only way Apple is going big time is with cracked software. They weren’t buying MS and they won’t buy Apple.

Apple has to have a 30% mark up.
