Mexican landscapers can't buy multi-million dollar homes (assuming that's the range we're talking about here). Other than that, can't really feel sorry for hurt millionaires, it sucks for them, but there are more pressing problems in the wo

Uhm, who cares? Whatever the link is, you will have to pay the same price anyway and the commission would end up in Amazon's pockets. Luckily, Danielle is nice enough to donate all the proceeds to charity. I just pre-ordered mine through th

Nice, you take the time to craft your listing on craigslist and now you've lost the right to repost your listing ANYWHERE else. I think we can safely assume that craigslist has a monopoly in (free) online classifieds and this reeks of very

What I don't get about newspapers in the US in general, is that it seems that their adoption is extremely low, compared to European countries. NY Times, supposedly the third largest newspaper, has a daily circulation of 1mm whereas De Tele

Eventually all those 3rd party developers want a bigger piece of the app.net revenue pie and that means they will resort to, yes, ads.

The bonuses only get paid if she somehow manages to grow Yahoo by $bns of dollars. Then, in comparison, the CEO gets a little piece of the pie. See Steve Jobs for a good example.
