-Quit the tiresome left-right finger-pointing. Mike is obviously neither a Rebublicrat or a Democan. Anyone who thinks either party can fix things is seriously deluded. Ironically the real problem isn't a monopoly by Big Oil -- it's a monopoly by the Big Parties in Washington. I would quote the Constitution, but I think America is more interested in American Idol.

-Government regulation of Big Oil would be a completely unnecessary, harmful, knee-jerk reaction. The market is already fixing the problem. Hybrids are the short-term fix. Electric cars will be the long-term fix. Even GM finally woke up and is working on the Chevy Volt. Look at Tesla Motors. The free market fixes stuff, but you can't expect it to happen overnight. We've had $3 gas for less than a year! Sheesh, give it a little time. Doesn't anyone think past the next 3 months anymore?

-No one is forcing you to buy gas. Buy a diesel car and convert it to run on bulk vegetable oil from Costco. Or, and I know this is just *crazy talk* - we could divert the money from Iraq into public urban transportation (or at least maintenance on bridges in places like Minnesota).

-One reason that healthcare is broken is because our legal system is broken. We need to stop trying to fix symptoms and start fixing core problems, like out-of-control litigation. The hospital has to charge $28 for aspirin in order to pay for its liability insurance.

The Overture acquisition details are wrong. When Yahoo bought Overture, Google wasn't "just getting started". Google had already gotten AOL as a customer away from Overture. Also the fundamental difference Google implemented was the search ad algorithm. Overture just displayed by order of highest bid. Overture still made a lot of money but Google blew them away. It took Overture over 3 years to finally switch to Google's way of thinking, by which time Google had refined their algorithm to the point of perfection.]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 13:52:12 -0400

The hard part is the "bottom" of beach communities. From what I hear they aren't being hit nearly as hard since ocean real estate is still very desirable. I know my friend's place in Hermosa Beach is worth the same amount as he paid for it around 2005-2006.]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 16:41:40 -0400

I don't know why anyone pays car payments. Buy a 15-25 year old car, set aside some money for the mechanic, and save a ton with just basic liability insurance. The required comprehensive insurance on a financed car is a huge hidden cost no one seems to consider (which is why I decided years ago never to finance a car again, though I'm probably in a better situation to have that luxury).]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 14:56:46 -0400

"it was Microsoft's last change to gain a serious foothold"

chance, not change.

The quality of writing in general seems to be going downhill. It seems like half the articles around here have typos (of the type spellcheck doesn't catch; i.e. human check needed).]]> Sun, 03 Feb 2008 15:49:35 -0500
