...that downside was recently removed. Manager of Strategic Procurement Raymond F. Wise said that last summer Harvard Strategic Procurement, which maintains contracts for office supplies, equipment, and services for the University, renegotiated its contract with OfficeMax to allow departments to buy 30 percent recycled paper for the same price as virgin, or non-recycled, paper. “There’s no reason for departments not to get 30 percent,” Kreycik said. Robert Gogan, supervisor of Waste Management at the University, estimated that about half of Harvard’s departments currently purchase 30 percent recycled...
...heart of that growth for both companies were bumper profits from exploration and production units. Those at Shell's climbed 52% to more than $5 billion, and BP's did even better. But given the surging price of a barrel of oil, both businesses must share the plaudits with the markets. A spiraling dollar and jitters over supply have helped drive oil prices up almost a quarter this year, reaching a fresh record of almost $120 on Monday.

...connectivity on GPS devices is the logical next step.

But as prices come down (on April 23, TomTom reported that its average product price had fallen 42% over the past year to $185 per unit) and as the number of GPS device manufacturers increases, companies are scrambling for ways to differentiate their wares...
...addition, the price of a text message—even when using a plan—is astronomically greater than the cost to the cell phone carrier. Studies have shown that cell operators have a profit margin of about 90 percent for text messages, which is more than twice the profit for phone calls. Costs to operators are miniscule because SMS technology is over 20 years old and the network bandwidth taken up by text messages is tiny relative to a phone call. With usage increasing, the big players in the telecom industry don’t have to collude...
