1) That wasn't the Federal Reserve, that was the FDIC that let the banks fail. 2) This program linked to is because of the failure, it happened after. 3) There is absolutely no way any US govt entity will let BOA fail. They might let

The IRS settles for lower amounts ALL the time, it wouldn't be even remotely exceptional if MS gets a discount. They have an entire department to handle these offers in compromise: https://www.irs.gov/payments/off

I'd rather the Apple Watch replace the iPhone. Apple doesn't seem totally against the idea, but they don't seem to be in any hurry either.

This has long been a solved problem out in the real world. Think back to the Nixon watergate scandal. When the reporters were going to press about that, they made damn sure it was 100% real first. By interviewing varying sources, human tru

To you and me, that's a lot of money, for Google's size that's really not a lot of money. The fact that it just became profitable certainly helps the beancounters decide to keep it around though.

Lots of stores have end-cap coolers which have product they really want to sell in there, usually at a discount. I could def. see Vanilla Ice Cream being in that container for a while for whatever reason. Or it could be a small/local g
