Radio Shack is changing its name to just "The Shack", an image makeover attempt to get away from its perception that they're just a place to shop for arcane electronic items like diodes and capacitors. Good luck with that.
Do They Really Have To Do That?
Dealers who take in cars under the "Cash For Clunkers" program must destroy the engines by filling them with a nasty solution and running them until they seize. Somehow, that's akin to a vet shooting the dog you've brought in to be "put to sleep" because he's too old to walk. What ever happened to recycling? (other than crushing the car and sending it to a Chinese smelter?)
Hey Marine: Stop Tweeting and Start Shooting.
No more social networking for the Marine Corps, at least for the coming months. Seems they're worried it's dangerous -- The Enemy might get hold of Pvt. Pyle's 140 character Twitter messages and find out our battlefield strategy, or some such. (I suggest Bin Laden just tune into CNN for that info.) The Army, on the other hand, is actively promoting the use of social network sites, and even has Generals tweeting on the front lines. My take: the Army has grown soft. You want a terrorist killed, hire a Marine. If Pvt. Pyle needed a Facebook page, the Marines would have issued him one. Hooya.
