This doesn't seem like something the SEC should attack, but using online postings to manipulate stocks has gone on, and the SEC needs to get into the 21st century in dealing with it.

Most efficient (and safest) way is to de-orbit the asteroid from the Asteroid Belt and park it in one of the Earth-Sun Trojan points (60 degrees ahead or behind the Earth in its orbit). Then you bring the mass down in smaller chunks as needed, and the material is a lot closer to us without...

PyreeI still like HTPC where all the cable are easily accessible as oppose to this unit where everything is hiding. Just think of the hassle if one thing is broken and you have to take it out. Not worth it unless the system can also send those meat ball through. People who would fix these...

When the historical basis for your company is tech ripped off from Xerox PARC, methinks you might want to be careful whom you tar with that particular brush...

Terrible article - I think they meant interactive devices from toy companies like Leapfrog, but implied it was e-readers like the Kindle. I teach high school, and I can assure you that anything that gets a student to read instead of fragging their buddies is a good thing. Reading a book on...

Best Buy trying to improve customer service is a bit like Jeffrey Dahmer expanding the vegetarian section of his cookbook... akopp21 has the right of it, methinks...

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but here goes... No one here knows the full story, in particular the disciplinary history of the student, the school's technology policy, or even whether the tweet was from a school computer or not (this does make a difference). Contrary to what most posters...

Reminds me of the move Fever Pitch, where a rabid Red Sox fan played by Jimmy Fallon has an apartment full of Sox memorabilia - and stocks the bathroom with Yankee logo toilet paper...

VillersI don't feel comfortable knowing that there is someone who thought this was a good idea protecting our country. Hear, hear. I'm all for increasing efficiency through appropriate usage of technology, but can we get someone with at least half a brain to make decisions? Maybe if you...

RTSI - Real Trolls Suppressing Innovation

Thought they did pretty well with the first one, given the aggressive market pricing and rush for the holiday. Be interesting to see what they do this time...

Bachelor FTW!

EOLAS - Extremely Obnoxious Legal Attack Strategy or perhaps Extraordinarily Obfuscatory Litigiously Activist Sandbaggers A troll by any other name...is still a troll.

I love the irony inherent in this situation; people who forked over boatloads of money for the products that encouraged the bad corporate behavior in the first place are now protesting by writing their names on a piece of paper - wow, what strength of conviction. Maybe they should consider doing...
