The world economic recession has created a different set of dynamics before the lenders and primers. With pink slips and instability in the job market borrowers are finding it hard to maintain regularity in repayment. Unavailability of unsecured loans has also added to their worries.

iPods are cool. The iPod Touch lets you experience the wonders of the iPhone without the monthly data charge to AT&T. But both have a stupid problem that is a sustainability nightmare. The irreplaceable battery makes it more likely that a perfectly working gadget will be thrown away just because the battery no longer holds a charge.

Calif Prop 16, Taxpayer Right to Vote Act, smells funny

Submitted by David Herron on February 26, 2010 - 3:48pm

Posted in

An ad showed up on my gmail account that was intriguing: "Yes on Proposition 16. - www.taxpayersrighttovote.com - Protect Taxpayers Right to Vote. Voting is Our Right!" Since I believe in the right to vote I was curious what this is about. For example why is "Tax Payer" connected with concern over the "Right to Vote"? In America any citizen is eligible to vote regardless of whether they're paying taxes or not (except -- in many states convicted felons are not allowed to vote even after they've served their time).
