I fully expect the Bush bail out to become policy. It is bad policy but bad policy and Congress go together like salt and pepper.The politicians have raised their token resistance. Minor changes will be made. Pressure will be put on the holdouts and they will change their votes assuring voters that they held out for the “best” they could hope for.The “crisis” is one that mainly impacts specific sectors of the economy not the ...

It was made known today that Adobe Flash would be coming to the iPhone soon. This was made clear by the Sr. Director of Adobe Systems, however, it is up to Apple when Flash will actually appear on the device.

"Look, there's nothing wrong with wanting 'stuff'. Unfortunately, the government made it very easy for us to borrow money and get 'stuff' instead of work hard and save our money so that we can buy things that we can actually afford. And that's what we have to get back to in this country, we have to have a real economy. We just can't keep borrowing money from the rest of the world." — Peter Schiff, ...

Now that the government has proposed bold solutions to the financial meltdown, and also rejected them, I am digging my underground bunker and hoarding canned goods. I call that "doing my part."I wasn't truly scared until I saw on the Internet that Michael Moore has waded into the economic discussion. When citizens start getting their economic guidance from Michael Moore, well, that is a harbinger of doom. But the worst part is that I'm not ...

What Will You Do When Your Stored Food Runs Out?, by Woodsman Among the multitude of preparations conducted by would-be survivalists, gardening is often minimized in value compared to the physical purchases of beans, bullets, and band-aids. However, in any long-term TEOTWAWKI event, gardening would probably become nearly the sole means of subsistence for your family and as such, it is critical that you make the efforts now to learn the ins and outs of ...

We’ve been bullish about location-based social networks for quite awhile now, especially since Apple announced that it would open up the iPhone to developers. And with two significant developments in this space just this week (more on that below), we thought it would be a good time to take a step back and look at the options currently available through the Apple App Store.
