Wow! It looks like quite a few people had a lot of spare time on their hands given the number of posts since yesterday. People are throwing the term "consumers" around like hand grenades, consumers this, consumers that, when in fact they're reall…

Every Saturday the Seattle Times runs a Personal Technology section. One of the on-going features is a general information What to Buy column that they pick up from other newspapers. Today's topic, lifted from the Baltimore Sun, was HD TVs. This is …

Since at this time this thread is all whimsy, I'd like to offer a Friday the 13 look at 2008, even though today isn't the 13th. The recession that hit the US in late 2007 worsens, fueled by huge deficit spending to support the unpopular war in Ir…
