Emarketer has published a report that finds that more than half of vacationers use the world wide web to help plan their trips. I'm really not surprised at all. I recently took a trip to Albany, New york. The flights were booked using Orbtiz, the hotel reservations were made after locating a nearby hotel online, and mapquest was consulted for the most efficient route home (we flew up and drove

Can Wifi make you ill?
Posted on 07:10 by Unknown
Here's a link to an article about a woman who claims that wireless internet has made her ill.Wireless technology made me sick I have to admit, I've wondered about this myself.

Quebec an independent nation within Canada?
Posted on 07:03 by Unknown
The candian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, told Canada's parliament that the province of Quebec would be recognized by his office as a nation. What does this really mean? Who knows. "Nation", in this instance, however, seems to be more analogous to (I can't think of another example) an indian nation, as opposed to a sovereign nation.

Ipod, Iphone?) that will incorporate the features of mobile phones with music capability.

The Google millionaires
Posted on 10:47 by Unknown
Well, I told my sister-in-law to buy google stock when the company IPO'd. And she didn't. Back then, the stock opened with a value of about 87 dollars if memory serves. This week, google stock passed the 500 mark per share, giving the company a market capitalization of 156 billion dollars.
