Look at How Much the Galaxy Market Push Is Costing Samsung

AC/DC Finally Comes to iTunes, Posts Big Sales in First Week
I remember that with the rock band I played with in high school, one of the first songs we learned was the (new at the time) Highway to Hell by AC/DC. The following year AC/DC really exploded with their greatest album – Back In Black, with a load of classic rock songs that most people [...]

First Drive of all-new 2013 Nissan Sentra

Hunter’s Universal Internet Thermostat Review
Every now and then I review a product that I quickly realize I’m not only going to continue using after the review but will likely purchase more for use elsewhere. That is the case with Hunter’s Universal Internet Thermostat. The thermostat is simple to install, uncomplicated to set up, and it works phenomenally well. In [...]
What Would a Nationwide Secession Really Look Like?
(image courtesy Slate) I have to admit, my main response to all those petitions to secede after the presidential election was to laugh, shrug, and move on with my day. However, one very creative author came up with a much more entertaining take on secession, turning into an alternate history account of what civil war [...]

#1reasonwhy – Twitter (and blogs) Discuss Why Only 6% of Game Developers Are Women
When you look broadly across the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), women have made tremendous gains in the decades since I entered undergraduate school.
