Computer giant Dell, is about to close its Austin Texas manufacturing plant. They want to move more plants offshore and cut american jobs. What a sad day. They claim this move will save the company about three billion dollars.
Analysts forecast a drop in oil prices due to a slow down in the US economy. This is welcome news as oil now stands at $105 per barrel and rising. It hit an all time record at $111/b on March 17, 2008.
Trouble in the middle east will make future oil prices higher than now. Also a drop in the dollar will cause all prices to rise.
gold prices for last 30 days have been choppy. Gold rose over $1000/oz for the first time in history, but then dove down to about $900/oz and is slowly recovering. I predict that it will continue its upward trend.
Who killed electric car? Well, California did. They cut the number of electric cars that must be sold in 2014. The incentive for automobile manafacturers to build a zero emmisions vehicle is gone.
We were on the right track, but now the plan was derailed and we have to stick with stinky gasoline powered engines for a bit more. Oh, we were so close.....
Yes folks, come and get it, the world's greatest graphic editing tool is now available for zero cost. Photoshop Express FREE is welcome news as it was so expensive, that most of us could only use it at work and at home had to go back to GIMP that open source tool for us poor boys.
Now we can edit in style with a high end graphics tool that has most of the features of its big bro!
The global warming guys are right. A huge block of ice the size of a small state broke off from Antarctica and did collapse into the ocean. Now scientists are worried that more ice could fall in as the ice sheet melts away. They are using satellites to track the giant ice mass in the ocean.
Citogroup hears a Microhoo as the merger is on. It is possible that in this tough economic time that the merger of Yahoo and Microsoft may face a few snags, but this is the only chance the Redmond giant has to compete with Google.
This terrible tragedy seems to never go away, now we see that the US death toll in Iraq has reached 4,000. It is sad to remember that I once fortold that we would invade Iraq and later there would be an iranian invasion. The bitter fruits of the first we now harvest.
Saddam Hussein was not responsible for 911, nor did he fund Obama. The Iraq war was a total tragedy were 4000 brave soldiers lost their lives. This grim milestone comes after five years of war.
Bear Stearns is just the beginning. The monetary markets are in trouble and banks are bracing for financial catastrophe. Ben Bernake of the Fed is trying to bailout the banks, but the economic situation is getting worse by the minute.
As nervous investors pull money out of US banks the gov may have to freeze accounts and allow only limited withdrawals.
The military wants coal to fuel plant to resuce dependence on foreign oil. This is the clean coal we have been hearing about. Will it work? YES, we have a 500 year supply of coal and we can create synfuel at a good price. The problem is that each plant cost several billion dollars.
The price of oil finally go down below $100/barrel, but projections are that by this summer we could see gasoline at near four dollars a gallon. Detroit has long had a love affair with large automobiles, but the future is small cars are we get used to prices over $5/gal for gas.
Already in England many are paying over one pound per litre of petrol this would be the equivalent of more than $8/gal for gas. The solution is electric cars. We already have cars like the Toyota Prius plug in hybrid and soon the Chevy Volt. I see many future fuels like biodiesel and ethanol helping bridge the transition to electric cars.
In shocking news Clinton is pulling ahead in the race. It seems that her support among white men has grown in previous days. Obama still have over 90% of the black vote. This race is about race. I think that it is great that women are finally gaining positions of power. The future of women is bright.
Trouble at the biggest US bank. It seems that Citigroup will lay off 2,000 investment bankers and traders. This news could not come at a worse time with the US going into a major recession. This is scheduled to happen before the end of March and this will affect the economy. We see more and more firms cutting back. The financial sector is sinking.
Wednesday, scientists found methane an organic molecule on a distant planet. The question is - do we have life on this distant planet? Sara Seager, a planetary theorist of MIT calls it “another great day for exoplanets,” The planet in question is known as HD 189733b.
This could be the big break we have been waiting for. Perhaps we are not alone in the universe.
Google's fear is microzoo an odd assortment of wild animals that roar. Still, Google controls about 70% of search and soon it will be 80%. Yahoo/Microsoft are losing market share not gaining. The problem is that they were asleep at the wheel while Google was busy.
Well, now Google has declared war against Microhoo and this will get interesting. This battle seems to be going in the direction of Google as it gains market share of search and slowly enters other sectors of the internet market.
Having bad credit is a terrible thing. Many young students are not wise and lose their credit due to careless mistakes. Paying late or not paying at all can ruin your life later on. Well, there is a second chance. A company called BADCREDITOFFERS has a list of the top ten credit cards for people with poor financial histories.
When traveling abroad it is important to have a credit card to rent a car, get a hotel, and even for tours. Not having good credit can be a great limitation. It is important to begin to rebuild your credit as soon as possible so you can later buy a car and a house.
In addition to credit cards, Badcreditoffers also has a list of companies offering home loans, auto loans, and personal loans to people with less-than-perfect financial histories. Right now banks are making getting a credit card more difficult. This is a great resource for people with poor credit that need bad credit credit cards.

Delta airlines has been forced to cut its employee headcount by 2000 due to high fuel prices. Jet fuel is a type of keroscene which powers the large aircraft used by the huge carrier.
The price of jetfuel A has been going up and up as the dollar drops and we face peak oil. Delta sees the future as gloomy and we now see why. The cost of fuel will continue to increase in the coming years.
One solution is to go back to propeller planes. These are more noisy and slower, but also more fuel efficient.
The hybrid aptera gets 330 mpg and can cross the Us on a single tank of fuel. This is the future. We need automobiles that can go the distance. This three-wheel, two-passenger vehicle that looks like a cross between a motorcycle and a helicopter was first built in 2006. It uses the latest composite technology and is super efficient.
For many years we have put up with 20 mpg and thought that 200 was impossible, but now we see that 300 is possible. The car look right out of a science fiction movie, but it is real.
I predict that the Fed will cut interest rates tomorrow because the economy is going into a tailspin. We have now major banks failing and the public is pulling money out and buying gold. This cannot go on. The fed is in trouble and now we see that the financial health of the nation is in peril.
