Setting Marketing Trends in the Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) Industry
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:10:40 PDT
Setting Marketing Trends in the Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) Industry Due to mistakes made by Google, Earthlink, Sprint and other big companies in the broadband wireless industry, many members of the press seem to have lost their appetite for wireless Internet service provider stories. Regardless, of the media who now frown on the ability for broadband wireless technology to provide high-speed Internet access, the truth is that there are literally thousands and thousands of compani
Labradoodle-Sheepa: are designer dog breeders going too far?
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:12:59 PDT
The current trend in designer dog breeding is outrageous. More attention should be brought to bare on this decadent trend, before the American Kennel Club is brought to its knees by a pack of "schnoodles." Have we no more standards of good breeding left in this great country?

Not Liquidation, But Evaporation
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:45:58 PDT
Businesses have long relied on Wall Street's so-called experts for guidance and help with finances. Unfortunately, what many failed to take account of was the financial community's singular focus on fee-generation, its inability to look and think beyond the current quarter, and a pathological aversion to prudence and common sense. Why else would the retailing sector, for instance, have expanded so dramatically and relied so heavily on borrowed money at a time when consumers were becoming incre

Helpful Make-up Tips! Posted on April 15th, 2008 I’ve been talking to my girlfriends about make-up a lot lately and they’ve been suggesting a lot of cool products for me to try. I’m looking forward to buying some new things but first I have to learn how to apply the make-up. I’ve never been much of a make-up person so I don’t know much about make-up. I can use all of the tips I can get which is why I like to check out MakeUpTip.com. This web site provides a lot of helpful information about
The Future of Touch Screens
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:15:29 PDT
The Future of Touch Screens Sure the iPod Touch (an extension of the iPhone technology) is hot, but has the screensize reached its limit? No way — just think in 3 dimensions! So what’s next from Apple? Well I think one of my previous predictions can be merged with Apple’s creativity to create something really cool — the iScreen. First read my prediction here on my original Chief Prognosticator blog. Now think of a pocket sized screen like the iPod Touch, maybe smaller, which you can unfold i
At Least 36 U.S. States Face Water Shortage
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:19:21 PDT
At least 36 states are expected to face water shortages within the next five years, according to U.S. government estimates. Available freshwater supplies are dwindling across the country due to rising temperatures and droughts, while increasing sprawl, population and inefficient resource usage are leading to rising demand. “Is it a crisis? If we don’t do some decent water planning, it could be,” said Jack Hoffbuhr, executive director of the American Water Works Association. Rising temperatur
Social data at its finest
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:20:33 PDT
Today, Facebook launched a few new features including chat and something called Feedcrawler. But the most interesting release today is called Lexicon. Think of it as Google Trends but for social data. One of the Facebook engineers working on the projects sent me the above query, but the possibilities are endless. This tool will be useful in the next coming months when the presidential election is going on.

Last night's CMT Music Awards�the country-music television network's version of its sister network MTV's Video Music Awards�veered into "a little more than slightly excruciating" territory when co-host Miley Cyrus tripped her way through a Taylor Swift intro in which she talked about texting the glittery-guitar-hoisting country protege incessantly, an endless setup to what would be one of many "ha ha, Dad, I'm paying your bills!" zingers that the Hannah Montana star sent in the direction of her father/svengali, "Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes, he performed the line dance that sent him and his mullet to stardom back in 1992, the same year his cash cow was sired.) The opening skit, in which Trace Adkins and his really greasy mop tried currying favor with everyone from Donald Trump to the three remaining Presidential candidates in order to get passes to the show, also mined that route; its final punchline was that Billy Ray was making extra scratch by scalping tickets, which were of course hot properties because of his daughter's presence. That girl is going to be so messed up in three years. Full list of winners�which includes three awards for Kellie Pickler, two for Taylor Swift, and one for that super-creepy video where Jon Bon Jovi and Leann Rimes make out�after the jump.
