Steve Jobs unveiled Apple’s latest creation, the Macbook Air, which seems to be the world’s thinnest laptop measuring up at less than one inch in height. I’ve never been a Mac user, except when I attended school. My school district used Macs exclusively except in select business computer classrooms. The Macbook air is only .16 inches in height at its [...]

I have begun utilizing a service called payperpost and have been quite happy with them. PPP is a great way to monetize your blog in addition to the typical adsense and kontera ads. In case you haven’t noticed, there is now a link at the end of every post that will let you get paid to review Shaun Carter dot [...]

I came across this really cool video about how Pachelbel’s Cannon in D can be found everywhere.

There has been a lot of press recently regarding the introduction of the world’s cheapest car to aid low income families in developing countries. India’s Tata Motors has come up with a more affordable solution for these families, a $2,500 car called the Nano.

These talks are preliminary and may fall through at any time, but for now Countrywide is up 67% today on the news. [tags]countrywide, bank of america, [...]

I’ve been watching the price movement of Countrywide Financial (CFC) and E*Trade (ETFC) closely lately and they are certainly taking a beating from the nationwide mortgage industry meltdown. Investing in these two companies is not for the light at heart. Countrywide is trading around $5 per share and E*Trade under $2.50. But, the larger question here is whether they will [...]

I had always heard of mesothelioma on the Internet, from all the people trying to capitalize on writing content targeted to high paying medical terms. But now I am seeing lawyers advertising on television several times a night for people suffering from mesothelioma to call and try to win a settlement. Mesothelioma is a form of cancer caused by exposure [...]

I had discussed in an earlier post the rumor I heard from a Speedway clerk here in Holland about the fuel discounts being discontinued in Michigan. I got some great information from a commenter here, Jason, who is a Speedway employee in Michigan and he was able to find out that the ban only applies to fuel discount coupons and [...]
