    Jobless Rate Highest in 14 Years - NYTimes.com

    though my memory may be faulty, i do believe that the last time it was so high, the Clinton Admisitration worked with Congress to get it all fixed.

    . . .but the wheel turns around. . .deja vu all over again. . .

    New Apple ads savage Microsoft's $300m Windows campaign

    yes those are great commercials Vista does suck old nasty sweaty balls because it tried to DRM trap it’s users and offers very sub par experience and performance

    but i would never use a Mac.  it is an even more abhorent monopoly using the same hardware and overpriced. i will format them to XP for friends though.

    New Apple ads savage Microsoft's $300m Windows campaign

    Apple should be careful – those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I have been an Apple devotee for decades, but the quality of their products and customer service has slipped considerably in the last few years. I only have to count the number of dead iPods and botch-fixed Shuffles littering my house to remind me that Apple hasn’t put the same amount of care and customer-focused consideration into its recent product lines. Arrogant Apple, rather than the old-school Affable Apple seems to be the order of the day. Strikes me that it will be the sort of cheap-shot ad that comes back to haunt them in times to come.

    Study says most corporations pay no U.S. income taxes

    The best thing would be to remove all tax structures. We do no need them. Instead replace the tax with "Transaction Tax" – it will be definitely < 1% for any transaction that is conducted except for personal transaction like withdrawing funds or paying credit cards. Bill payment will also be charged "transaction tax".

    The problem in the world is that we are using the best brains for wrong things – Innovative Financial and Legal instruments while we should be putting our brain for developing great products, improving production techniques and so on.

    Also, we should stop short-term stock trading. If a company needs funds, the investor has to invest for a period of time – an year or so – before the shares can be sold in the market. Short-term loans – go to banks who can only lend money based on deposits and not un-necessary large leverages!

    Further, reduce top level payments to nothing more than $500k per annum. All other money is re-invested back for innovation.

    Addiitonally, we all work towards the betterment of human beings – so there is no patents, copyrights and trademarks – all of us believe in sharing and collaborating with each other.

    Think about this – it will surely make the world a better place.
