Is Target's Blu-ray plan Pro Blu-ray or Anti-Consumer?

All things Hi Def reports that Target will exclusively carry the Blu-ray disc players. They call it a "retail victory for the Blu-ray Disc format".

My question is whether this policy by Target is for the benefit of Consumers? I believe that only by benefiting consumers can Target survive as a corporation. Too bad they are limited competetion for hd players and not offering a competitive marketplace within their stores where the consumer could decide which technology is better!

Who Becomes the Monster? Google or Sprint?

The news reports about Google and Sprint teaming up on a new WiMax Network disgusts me. The reason simple, I am not a fan of Sprint. I still remember them as one of my motivations for creating Phone Hell for significant over charing of domestic long distance.

Fat Fat Fat!!! Why you are Fat and What to Do About it!

I was wrong this morning when I annouced the new at home fat suction machine that you can use everyday. Your lack of this device is NOT why you are fat according to the Sydney Morning Herald their headline screams, "Why fat is a friendship issue".

They are right too. You are fat because your friends are fat and you eat what they eat! For example, the article annouced that "If your friend becomes obese, the researchers found, your chances of becoming obese go up 57 per cent."

Suspicious Luggage Closes Long Beach California Airport

I was spell bound as I read the Reuters news story about the Long Beach California aiport being closed and evacuated over a piece of suspicous luggage.

Ok, the truth. I wasn't really spell bound as the news service probably hoped their readers would be. I was actually very bored. I wanted to know what was inside the luggage. I wanted to know why it was suspicious. I wanted to know where it came from. I wanted to see a photo of it.
