My View On “Tinkering Makes Comeback Amid Crisis”

Mr. Johnson, I have to agree with you. It seems the administrators of engineering colleges have ensured that engineering students waste four years of education on deriving equations and other esoteric activities without giving their students the chance to find that glint in the eyes of Leonardo da Vinci. Many of us became design engineers once we joined innovative companies making cutting edge products. Additionally and quite sadly, in today's world, More

An Opinion On “More Households Request Food Aid”

When a person becomes permanently dependent upon their gov't for the basic necessities of life, then all hope is lost. Yes they will live in poverty and despair and with some exceptions, rightfully so. One would think that they would analyze their life and do something positive about it, instead of falling inhow to lose weight fast at home the rut of permanent gov't support. Put the able body ones to work for their handout. Maybe then they would More

Some Thoughts On “Toyota’s Total Recall”

?This will probably prove to be a smart move from a long term marketing standpoint, especially given the negative publicity regarding the problem(s). It demonstrates that the company is willing to take drastic action to rectify the situation, whether the cessation types of marketing production is justified - again marketing. On the other hand, designing a gas pedal that can become stuck under PRODUCTION floor mats is just plain stupid! Definitely More

Opinion On “Tax Report: The IRS Targets Income Tricks”

There are many excellent IRS Agents out there that understand the law and make fair interpretations based on the facts and circumstances in a given case. As in every profession, however, there are some that are not so outstanding. Your generalization is untrue and uncalled for. You are being completely out of line with your ridiculously overbroad comments. Anyways, even if the IRS Agent made an overzealous determination in this case, don't you think More

A Commentary On “H”

Well some of us aren't criticizing HP's decision making skills to buy Autonomy ( even though they paid higher ), but rather sudden turn away from Touch Pad devices; which to me looks like a decision made in haste. It wasn't even 2 months since the product launched. Also what kind of an executive at the top took the decision of pricing the device the same as IPAD2 . I do know that if a tech person compares the specs of both devices, TouchPad is better More

Analysis On “Tax on Millionaires To Be a Tough Sell”

They're PLENTY of investment capital in the world economy these days ... especially because of the Chinese. Entrepreneurs don't have to suck up to rich Americans as much as they used to. There's billions of capital available from mutual funds and 401ks that the MIDDLE CLASS put money into as well. Bottom line, taxing America's millionaires and billionaires more won't hurt top entrepreneurs access to capital much at all ... especially if they have More

Criticism On “Debt Deal Seen as Mild Drag on Economy”

I really Hope (and pray) that after all of this that some level of confidence level comes back. It seems that many were holding their collective breaths not wanting to commit to hiring or spending on new equipment since it seemed that the end of the world (as we know it) was nigh. Hopefully with the considerable damage done to-date it may be not so great we can move on to important things. Once this deal is inked we might consider to begin to address More

Analysis On “At Super Bowl, Many Ads Fail to Score”

I thought the SB was a family event but many of the commercials were offensive, with surpluses of sexual resume references, and deficits in humor and family entertainment value. It was sad, so much so that I think I'll be siding with the NFLPA during their upcoming CBA negotiations given it's apparent the NFL is not interested in their fans as much as they are about their wallets. Godell should be ashamed and he's got to go! Peter U would never More

My Analysis On “JetBlue Flight Attendant Steven Slater Grabs Two Beers, Slides Down the Emergency Chute”

My daughter use how to get over your ex boyfriend work for US Airways, small crowded planes, people bring everything on and want to be first off. She works in the terminal where it is worse when there is a delay. YOu ae right the passengers go beserk, rude, spitting and completely foul mouth, nothing will quiet them down but another flight right now. She no longer works for the airline due to a mental colapse from this fun job. She is now rude and More

Criticism On “Downturn’s Ugly Trademark: Steep, Lasting Drop in Wages”

Skills my rear. This has become a ninny little credentialing society, the result of which is a lot of talent and ability goes wasted. I keep hearing how American workers are 'mismatched' with the current economy: hogwash. Almost anybody can learn to do anything if they're taught right and people are plenty adaptable on their own anyway. A sense of purpose is the most compelling teacher. I could probably learn to be competent in 60% or more of occupations More
