The markets, having just gotten hard evidence of the slowdown they've been waiting for, may find that next week is an excellent time for those doubts to start cropping up. What's ailing the markets these days is uncertainty - over oil prices, the Middle East, the election, you name it. After November, oil prices, with their power to cause not only stagnation but also inflation and political meddling, will likely...

I loved being able to lie on my bed and flip from a ska music station in New Jersey to pop music from Greece in less than a second. Unfortunately, I can't turn my PC and Net connection off with the remote. So, just when I'm about to drift off listening to Beethoven.com I have to sleepwalk...
