3 Reasons Why You Should Sell this Retail Giant
2012-01-24 17:30:00 In discussing the retail sector, I'm constantly reminded of Einstein's classic definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. This is especially applicable to consumer-electronics retailers. Historically, many of the names were typically regional players (The Wiz, Rex, CAMPO, Crazy Eddie are just a few examples). Some grew to national reach such as Circuit City, Best Buy (NYSE: BBY), or H.H. Gregg (NYSE: HGG). But many of them are now dead and gone, including Circuit City. What did all of these retailers have in common? They all essentially had the same business model — brick-and-mortar retail stores focused on electronics. And now, Best Buy, the biggest electronic retailer and one of . . . → Read More: 3 Reasons Why You Should Sell this Retail Giant

The End Of Cheap China, With A Giant Caveat.
2012-01-18 18:48:00 The Boston Consulting Group came out with an excellent piece last year, entitled, "Made in America, Again: Why Manufacturing Will Return to the United States." An excellent summary of that article can be found here, from which I pull the following: Within the next five years, the United States is expected to experience a manufacturing renaissance as the wage gap with China shrinks and certain U.S. states become some of the cheapest locations for manufacturing in the developed world, according to a new analysis by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). With Chinese wages rising at about 17 percent per year and the value of the yuan continuing to increase, the gap between U.S. and Chinese wages is narrowing rapidly. Meanwhile, flexible work rules and a host of government incentives are making many states—including Mississippi, South Carolina, and Alabama—increasingly competitive as low-cost bases for supplying the U.S. market. “All over China, wages are climb...

Preservation Effort Under Way for Giant Studebaker Sign
2012-01-12 14:30:00 At half a mile long and visible from space, the Studebaker arboreal sign outside New Carlisle, Indiana, is certainly the largest artifact of that company's existence, and as such, it's also the one that requires the most upkeep. Yet, surprisingly, the giant landmark has made it through the last 70-p
This Industry Giant?s Stock Could Gain 25%
2012-01-10 16:00:00 After a less-than-stellar performance for the S&P 500 in 2011, investors continue to scratch their heads as they try to figure out where to allocate capital for the New Year. Treasuries? Sure, if you want to pay too much, then take on more downside risk than you think and get paid next to nothing. The truth is, too many areas of the marketare stretched out like the cotton sweater I got from Target eight years ago that everyone in the house seems to borrow. But we can still find value out there. And one of my favorite stocks is pretty well known: a little fly-by-night outfit called International Paper (NYSE: IP).

James Dean as Jett Rink striking oil in "Giant"
2011-12-15 11:24:00 One of James Dean's greatest scenes (along with the birthday scene from Elia Kazan's "East of Eden") in "Giant" directed by George Stevens. Jett Rink is a great rise-and-fall story, embodied by a 24-year old Dean in his swan song. He would infamously die just 2 weeks after wrapping up his scenes for this movie. Film legend James Dean in his final role as Jett Rink, here taking stock of the little piece of Texas land left to him by Luz Benedict. Set magnificently to music by (the also legendary) Dmitri Tiompkin. "James Dean's talent glows like an oilfield flare.When James Dean?s character Jett Rink strikes oil as a wildcatter in George Steven?s 1956 epic, "Giant", he goes up to the big house where Liz Taylor lives in order to laugh and drip oil all over the front porch. Covered in West Texas Intermediate crude (later to become the benchmark grade, traded in New York) he gets, shall we say, a little forward with Liz. That?s when Rock Hudson steps in, and decks him.Elizabeth Taylor ...

Online Payment Giant PayPal Files A Lawsuit Against Google Wallet
2011-10-03 10:19:00 Just last week, we reported that Google has come out with a NFC based mobile payment service, dubbed the Google Wallet. Google has been a frontrunner when it comes to using NFC for a variety of new and innovative applications. Google Wallet allows you to tap your NFC-enabled Android phone against a card reader and make payments. Now the online payment giant PayPal went on a rampage, filing a lawsuit against Google and two former PayPal executives who now work for Google. It accused the executives of ‘misappropriation of trade secrets’ and ‘breach of fiduciary duties’. Â Google had been negotiating with PayPal for over two years regarding online money transfer on mobile devices. Just before the deal was about to be signed, Google poached the PayPal executives, which led to PayPal filing a lawsuit. PayPal’s view on NFC is rather interesting because it doesn’t believe, unlike Google, that NFC will be of any use in the next three or four years. That ...

eBay Acquires Magento: E-platform For E-commerce Giant
2011-08-19 13:00:00 Early this year, eBay forayed into mCommerce connecting with the users anytime anywhere and they were presented with 400,000 deals on one site. In a major move to improve its tools for online store developers Ebay has acquired Magento – the maker of open source e-commerce platform.

First Photographs - Pieces of Giant Mom
2011-04-20 13:23:00 Over at Photo Sleuth, Brett had found my first photograph post and included it in his post about first photographs. In my original post, I mentioned that I have no idea what my children's first photographs were. Brett's post inspired me to do a little digital sleuthing in Flickr so I searched for the oldest photo tagged with their name as photographer. At Doug's birthday party in 2005, when Adam was four and a half years old, I handed him my Olympus C3000 and asked him to take a picture of me. At first I thought this was his first photograph. I love it! This was obviously long before he became the great photographer that he is now. Then I remembered that he first photographed my face, and when I looked at the photo, I asked him to include my skirt in the picture. So that was his second photo and this was actually his first. Giant Mom towering over Adam! Here's a shot of Adam just an hour before enjoying Doug's birthday cake. Holy frosted sweatheads! Dova to...

Facebook Inks A Deal With Russian Search Giant Yandex
2010-10-29 14:32:00 In a move that could dramatically increase the user base of Facebook in Russia, the social networking giant has signed a deal with the country’s largest search engine Yandex for status updates. Both the companies announced that they are keen to improve their social services by way of providing complimentary engines. The partnership agreement has two parts in all. The first part is about Facebook supplying a data feed of status updates from its profiles, pages or groups to Yandex. And the second one is that the homepage of Yandex’s website will host a Facebook widget and its own instant messaging service Ya.Online that will let its users know of any new notifications on Facebook. This implies that the experience would be more attractive for those users who have an account in Facebook. Prior to this, Yandex has already been integrating quite an amount of social content into its search by indexing pages of popular micro-blogging services and Russian-language blog-hosting sites suc...

Hard to believe this track is now 20 years old...it has aged very well...and for that matter, so has the band! The duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell met as kids in Massachusetts but didn't form a band together until the late 1980s in Brooklyn, New York. From their humble "Dial A Song" beginnings where they would leave a new song every day on an answering machine for people to hear, to their commercial breakthrough with this album, to their now lucrative career in children's music TMBG have always been charming and quirky. ...
Sci Fi Giant Ray Bradbury Slams Obama's Era of Big Government
2010-08-17 20:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The L.A. Times has a heartwarming story of literary giant Ray Bradbury who at 90 is not afraid to tell everyone exactly what he thinks. A gathering of admirers got an earful of Bradburyisms on the verge of his Aug 22 90th birthday celebration in Los Angeles. Bradbury railed against the "too many machines" that we surround ourselves with, lamented that we hadn't colonized the moon by now, and said that the U.S. is in need of a revolution because "there is too much government today." You have to hand it to this wizened sage. He hit the nail on the head with every statement. Bradbury is so right to point out that we are losing...
