You could expand the question to say why do abc, disney, and espn all include go.com in their url? Obviously they all share the same ownership. Although I think there would be better ways to promote cross brand pollination.

Yes, I didn't want to editorialize and I've never seen this available online before. Everyone is free to think what they want. The privatization of the Bolivian water supply was the most poignant moment for me.

Be careful about calling any part of web design cutting-edge. It may change quickly what is in fashion on the web, don't mistake that for being technically challenging.

What part of the New Deal is 'oddly' happening again? $300 billion of the $862 billion dollar stimulus were either tax cuts or credits. Here is a link seemingly debunking that guise of an academic study: http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.

The point you're making has been debated ad nauseum in the past so I won't attempt to refute it. What I took from the article was that while the stimulus/recovery act was largely sold, and perceived rightfully or wrongfully, as a jobs bill,

The other kicker about the original use of firewire was that it could charge the iPod simultaneously while syncing. I don't recall usb 1.1 being able to charge a device.

Well said. Wages have flatlined over the past 30 years, partially because the higher cost of benefits has absorbed what would have been a pay raise. I'm glad whenever someone, whether they are government workers or union workers (or both),

They did open a large datacenter in North Carolina recently for mobileme and iTunes hosting. Albeit for a 10 year tax break, but they would have received that from any state.
