65 Percent of Americans Spend More Time with Their Computer than Their Spouse

2007-01-29T17:59:00.000-05:00

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 65 percent of consumers are spending more time with a computer than with their significant other, according to new independent research commissioned by support.com.

Conducted by independent research firm Kelton Research, the "Cyber Stress" study confirmed consumers' growing relationship with technology in their everyday lives. In fact, more than 8 out of 10 Americans (84%) say they are more dependent on their home computer now than they were just three years ago

Considering the large role computers play in people's lives today, experts agree that computer problems can sometimes cause significant emotional distress, similar to what happens when a problem occurs between spouses.

Pelosi slammed for 'hypocrisy'

2007-01-22T14:58:00.000-05:00

Already in her first hundred hours?
Why wasn't this in the main stream media hmmm.

A special exemption in the nation's proposed new minimum wage law could benefit a company headquartered in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district, and several Republican members of the U.S. House are objecting.

But while the proposed change in law adds American territories to the minimum wage requirements for the first time, American Samoa remains exempt. That's where Del Monte's brand name StarKist tuna has a huge plant, employing thousands of workers who would have been affected by inclusion in the minimum wage plan.

Iraq's economy is growing strong

2006-12-23T15:52:00.000-05:00

For those pessimists here is something you will probably not hear on big media.

Taken from a article I found on Newsweek International by Silvia Spring
Click on paragraph below for full article.

Civil war or not, Iraq has an economy, and—mother of all surprises—it's doing remarkably well. Real estate is booming. Construction, retail and wholesale trade sectors are healthy, too, according to a report by Global Insight in London. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports 34,000 registered companies in Iraq, up from 8,000 three years ago. Sales of secondhand cars, televisions and mobile phones have all risen sharply. Estimates vary, but one from Global Insight puts GDP growth at 17 percent last year and projects 13 percent for 2006. The World Bank has it lower: at 4 percent this year. But, given all the attention paid to deteriorating security, the startling fact is that Iraq is growing at all.

New Tap Pours A Faster, Better Beer

2006-12-06T21:06:00.000-05:00

(CBS) ST. PAUL, Minn. It's the kind of invention you'd expect a college student to come up with. A guy named Matthew Younkle was a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison when he thought there had to be a better way to pour beer.

He's come up with it, according to CBS affiliate WCCO-TV: Younkle's Turbo Tap invention has now been installed at every beer tap inside St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center.

"There's nothing bad about it," said Jim Domagall, general manager of Centerplate, the company that runs Xcel's concession operations. "It speeds up customer service and reduces the error for pouring a bad beer."

'Got Milk' Ads Removed From Bus Stops After One Day Due To Complaints

City officials ordered CBS Outdoor, the company that holds the advertising contract for its bus shelters, to remove the adhesive strips Tuesday, just one day after they were put up as part of a "Got Milk?" campaign.

The Municipal Transportation Agency canceled the plan after some residents raised objections. "We got complaints," said MTA spokeswoman Maggie Lynch. "It is controversial."

Some critics expressed concern over potential allergic reactions. Others complained the ads could be offensive to the poor and homeless who can't afford to buy sweet treats.

(Looks like city officials here have a lot of toime on their hands.)

Simpson Sisters

2006-10-05T20:05:00.000-04:00

JESSICA and Ashlee Simpson have been slammed by a religious leader for using sex to sell their music.

A priest in Texas, the Reverend Bob Harrington, blasted the girls as having swapped “holiness” for “horniness”.

He also said their boobs would end up drooping as punishment for their sins.

The Reverend also attacked their father and manager Joe - who was formerly a Baptist minister.

The holy man fumed: “Their father has replaced his faith in the Lord with the love of money, which is the root of all evil. He has replaced holiness with horniness.

“Jessica and Ashlee will reap the dismal crops they are sowing.”

He continued: “Their breasts will sag and their faces will wither and they will be left with nothing but a hollow shell.”

He added: “They don't represent American standards and certainly not Christian standards.”

Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem.

Google CEO on click fraud: 'let it happen' is perfect economic solution

2006-07-09T17:12:00.000-04:00

According to Schmidt, Google’s auction-based pay-per-click advertising model is inherently self-correcting. Schmidt’s scenario for what would happen if Google did not police click fraud and it was “rampant”:

Eventually, the price that the advertiser is willing to pay for the conversion will decline, because the advertiser will realize that these are bad clicks, in other words, the value of the ad declines, so over some amount of time, the system is in-fact, self-correcting. In fact, there is a perfect economic solution which is to let it happen.

2006-06-30T18:43:00.000-04:00

The Interstate System has been called the Greatest Public Works Project in History. From the day President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, the Interstate System has been a part of our culture—as construction projects, as transportation in our daily lives, and as an integral part of the American way of life. Every citizen has been touched by it, if not directly as motorists, then indirectly because every item we buy has been on the Interstate System at some point. President Eisenhower considered it one of the most important achievements of his two terms in office, and historians agree.

The Gay Bar

2006-05-12T20:59:00.000-04:00

The gay bar

A cowboy walks into a bar and two steps in, and then he realizes it's a gay bar "What the heck," he says to himself, "I really want a drink."

When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the cowboy, "What's the name of your willy?" The cowboy says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink."

The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your willy. Mine for instance is called NIKE, for the slogan ' Just Do It.'

That guy down at the end of the bar calls his SNICKERS, because 'It really Satisfies.' "

The cowboy looks dumbfounded, so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over.

So the cowboy asks the man sitting to his left! who is sipping on a beer, Hey bud, what's the name of yours?"

The man looks back and says with a smile, "TIMEX." The thirsty cowboy asks, Why Timex?" the man proudly replies, " 'Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!' "

A little shaken, the cowboy turns to two fella's on his right, who happen to be sharing a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you guys call yours?"

The first man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because "Quality is Job One" "Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford lately?"

The guy next to him then says, "I call mine CHEVY.....Like a Rock!" And gives a wink!

Even more shaken, the Cowboy has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his manhood.

Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my willy is SECRET. Now give me a beer."

The bartender begins to pour the cowboy a beer, but with a puzzled look asks "Why Secret?"

The cowboy says, "Because it's ' STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!!!!!!

Urine Battery Turns Pee Into Power

2006-05-08T22:44:00.000-04:00

Before you next flush the toilet, consider this: Scientists in Singapore have developed a battery powered by urine.
To make the battery, Lee and his colleagues soaked a piece of paper in a solution of copper chloride and sandwiched it between strips of magnesium and copper. This sandwich was then laminated between two sheets of transparent plastic.

When a drop of urine is added to the paper through a slit in the plastic, a chemical reaction takes place that produces electricity, Lee said.

The prototype battery produced about 1.5 volts, the same as a standard AA battery, and runs for about 90 minutes. Researchers said the power, voltage, and lifetime of the battery can be improved by adjusting the geometry and materials used.

Kennedy son admits drug habit after car crash

`That's not how I want to live my life,'' said Kennedy, a Rhode Island Democrat and the son of Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy. ``This afternoon, I am traveling to Minnesota to seek treatment at the Mayo Clinic to ensure that I can continue on my road to recovery.''

Officers noted in the report that Kennedy's ``eyes were red and watery, speech was slightly slurred, and upon exiting his vehicle, his balance was unsure.''

Kennedy yesterday denied that he sought special consideration from police. He said he offered to cooperate with their investigation. (yeah right he remembers that but nothing else)
