This is what I've been saying lately. I wouldn't mind Romney himself: I think he'd be a mediocre President, but Obama hasn't blown me away either and probably wouldn't dazzle much as second terms aren't great usually. The problem is handing

This isn't such a great thing. Bad time to have cash. Bad yields and lots of currency risk out there. Apple isn't willing to invest chunks of this into longer term investments that can yield potentially huge returns? Looks like they're happ

And a loan would let you do the same. The comparison is valid. For some reason there's a stigma against debt financing because it has to be "paid back" in installments. Equity financing still has to be paid back, the transaction just has di

Compare it with other first world cities outside N. America. Americans don't realize how cheap they've got it.

What would the nature of the referrer's intention have to do with your excitement about FH? Ostensibly you were excited about FH's features. Even if you found out about it through a junk mail flyer in your snail mail box, what difference do

We've gone full circle. People used to book through travel agents. They'd call them and tell them when and where they want to go and the agent books something for them. Travel agents disappeared because people would rather take the time to

Yes it does eliminate prep time. You put a bunch of stuff into a slow cooker, add a can of soup like cream of mushroom for flavor, and it comes out amazing when you get home. Just don't end up eating too much meat this way. Use a lot of veg

But Nguyen understands the arithmetic of Silicon Valley, and anyway he isn't one to reflect. "I never get emotional," says Nguyen, who hasn't spoken to his parents in six years. "I can have the biggest argument with someone, and five minute
