Will 2010 Be the Year of the Tablet?

I love my new Kindle DX and use it for daily reading time and to hold hundred of songs and lyrics. I would love a new tablet to have smooth internet connections.
The Kindle is usable but clunky for browsing and email. Plays mp3"s but without selectivity of individual songs.
Also, valuable would be a tablet with folder and filing capabilities that are lacking in the kindle.
Add those items and you have an instrument with an amazing appeal.

Drugstores: Kodak and Fuji's Battleground

Sounds as if it is more of a reflection of Rite Aid's management than the change in suppliers. Years ago, in full size wholesales labs I made the switch from Kodak to Fuji and anticipated major consumer problems. It never happened! The Fuji product was excellent and all the customer wanted was a high quality photo, not a company logo.
Look to thyself, Mr. Rite Aid

Can Costco Save America's Malls?

Costco has more retail integrity than any retailer I have ever seen. Consistently, without all the b.s. marketing of their competitors, they offer first quality products at better than competitive prices. Have a problem? They take care of it without hassle.
Incidentally, try the roast chickens for 5.50. Better quality and the best tasting in town. And their blueberry muffins. They are worth the membership fee!

So, what happens to divdend from preferred stock?

Political Energy Policy Just for Laughs

Can you imagine the votes that would accrue to a candidate for president who espoused a real energy plan instead of the BS they offer at present.
