McCain breaks with economic adviser over *whiners* remark
2008-07-11 15:26:00 WASHINGTON — Republican John McCain rebuked his friend and adviser Phil Gramm on Thursday for saying the U.S. has become a “nation of whiners” about the economy and that the nation is in a “mental recession.” “Phil Gramm does not speak for me,” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee said. “I speak for me.” Gramm, a former Texas senator and economics professor, told The Washington Times that “we have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness.” He went on to say the U.S. is not in a recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth, but many people seem to think so. “You’ve heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession.” Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama jumped on Gramm’s comments. “America already has one Dr. Phil,” Obama said in Virginia, referring to TV ...

He's fun when the car breaks down, too!
2008-06-03 17:49:00 Last night, I was minding my own business in Sears, looking for a lawn mower blade. Because, God forbid, all the parts on the damn mower should work at the same time. As I was bemoaning the fact that the Super Duper Diamond Encrusted Extra Special Lawn Tractor Blades were the only kind they had in the size I needed, I looked up and noticed an acquaintance I hadn't seen in years, and we began to chat. He's nice enough, but he's also one of those over-eager social types. You know the ones, they seem (warning: adverb and punctuation abuse ahead) overly sincerely. interested. in. everything. you. have. to. say. yet, at the same time, you're pretty sure they don't hear anything you're saying. Now, I'm not knocking people who take the time to listen, and he's a really nice guy, but my suspicions were confirmed: Guy: "Blah, blah, blah, blah...Hey, what's Busy Dad up to?" Me: "Not much, I think he's at home throwing things, actually." (see lawnmower blade above) Guy: "H...

Intwition Relaunches - Now Tracks Online Chatter, Breaks News
2008-05-21 07:38:00 The site Intwition, formerly a Twitter app, just relaunched yesterday as a whole new service. This new version of the site, only ten days old, aims to find and display what stories are being discussed on the internet right now. Initially, those stories come from Twitter as the primary source of that chatter, but as time goes on, other inputs will be added. The way Intwition works is by listening to the online chatter, and when the chatter level is high enough, posting an unconfirmed story on the homepage. Example: "Unconfirmed: Something Happening with Earthquake, China, Maginitude, 7.8, Felt" After that initial posting, Intwition then scans the web looking for articles from verified sources as well as pictures and video. As these items are found, they are posted on the homepage in order of their popularity and relation to the story. Stories stay up as long as they are being discussed. Major stories are highlighted in red or orange and older and minor stories are in smal...

CNN Breaks Down the Cause of $4 a Gallon Gasoline
2008-05-20 14:35:00 Surprise, it isn’t Bush: One of the most common reasons cited for the price jump is supply and demand - we are using more oil, which accounts for 70% of the price of gas, and finding less of it. Why we are finding less oil and using more of it is partly a result of the low prices during the 1990s. Those low prices - partly caused by low gas taxes in the U.S. compared to other developed nations - both encouraged rapid consumption domestically (think SUVs) and underinvestment in new production by the world’s oil companies. By the time 2004 rolled around - and developing economies around the globe roared to life - the world was left in a pinch. “Our demand has skyrocketed, but our ability to supply that demand has stagnated,” said Stephen Schork, publisher of the industry newsletter The Schork Report. Gasoline prices topped $2 a gallon for the first time ever in May of 2004, “and we’ve been off to the races since then,” said Schork. Why don&#...
Windows XP SP3 Update Breaks Windows Home Server Remote Access
2008-05-19 06:34:00 Windows Home Server users are reporting Remote Access problems after updating their home computers to Windows XP Service Pack 3. Following the update, attempting to access those home computers via Windows Home Server?s Remote Access features brings up a dialog asking the user to add their homeserver.com domain to the Trusted Sites list in Internet Explorer. However, after doing so, users are still not able to access those PCs. The issue arises due to security changes in XP SP3 - namely, that the Terminal Services ActiveX control in Internet Explorer is disabled by default.

FOX Reduces Commercial Breaks, Do You Care?
2008-05-16 21:06:00 At Thursday’s FOX upfront presentation, the network announced it will air two new drama series — J.J. Abrams’ FRINGE and Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE — with dramatically reduced commercial breaks. “It’s a simple concept and potentially revolutionary,” Fox Entertainment Chairman Peter Liguori said. “We’re going to have less commercials, less promotional time, and less reason for viewers to use the remote. We’re going to redefine the viewing experience.” And while this TV Addict applauds Liguori’s attempt to ‘redefine the viewing experience’ for FOX viewers, there’s just one problem. The TV Addict, for the most part, doesn’t watch commercials. Yet I’m a realist, and in the interest of ensuring the television industry’s survival, I thought I’d offer up three easy tips for advertisers hoping to keep my hand off the fast forward button.

CTS-V breaks Nurburgring sedan record: fastest lap time
2008-05-10 15:37:00 CTS-V breaks Nurburgring sedan record: fastest lap time Cadillac today reported its CTS-V sedan achieved a record 7 minutes 59.32 seconds lap time at Germany's famed Nurburgring test track. The sub-8-minute lap is the fastest ever documented for a production sedan. The new model — which goes on sale late this summer — was first unveiled earlier this year, and is now undergoing final testing. One of the objectives the Cadillac team had when it set out to develop the CTS-V was to make it the world's fastest production sedan, according to GM. Output is estimated at around 550 horsepower, although final numbers have not been released.

We're expecting official word on the car's MSRP in less than 30 days. GM recently indicated its new Corvette ZR1 would beat the Nissan GT-R's re...
