"Reality" contest TV shows are anything but objective to begin with. The judges are purposely overblown so the audience will react to the judges. The contestants are selected according to personality, also for audience reaction. It's about

As much as I enjoy scoffing at Facebook I have to admit I've personally seen not-so-net-savvy people get pulled into Facebook for its ability to reunite and keep up with far flung friends. That it's good for. Facebook is not however a lu

It's not just galleries that don't want inventory online, it's the artists too. Pro artists have special deals worked out with each gallery, some deals are supposed to be exclusive but artists cheat and put their work into other galeries to

This is a joke, right? Facebook encourages users to register accounts using their real name and then volunteer personal information with reckless abandon. But users need not worry because they can check a little box that says "shh! don't te

Cosco's real secret is selling common household items less per unit but packaged in bulk thereby forcing the customer to actually buy more. A similar pricing structure in the online world is web hosting for only $7/month "WOW!! That's che

Anyone can legally complain if you copy their content. So they send a C&D letter and you remove whatever offended them, no harm done. If you want to prevent bots from scraping your content then take advantage of the fact that most bots don

If you left on good terms, assuming your version of "fired" is not as bad as "FIRED!", perhaps you can buy your options at the strick price, but that's risky. If you buy your options for say $10000 and the stock ends up being worthless then
