...next big wave of layoffs will begin in the retail industry where there is still too much store capacity to be supported by a moribund consumer. GM has already signaled its intention to cut additional employees and, based on the rate of the drop in its sales, Chrysler will be forced to eviscerate its employment base further...
...Words: Plastic Logic What everyone really wants, of course, is the iPod of e?readers. It was Steve Jobs who first understood the power of a killer device. After he created the iPod and linked it to the iTunes Music Store, people started paying for songs again, and to date, Apple has sold more than 6 billion of them.

...stairs to his room, he can only think of two things: hunger and revenge. Suddenly, after hours of scheming, he comes up with a plan to outsmart the greedy vending machine schemers. Wearing only his boxers and a knowing smirk, he runs from the dormitory to the nearest convenience store, grabs the first box of Pop Tarts he sees, and pays only 8 dollars for the whole box! What a deal! Cackling madly, he rips open the cardboard container to get to his spoils, only to find that his search for value was an utter failure. The conspiracy had extended...
