Economy Meltdown - The Worst Has Yet To Come?
The mortgage crisis is about to hit full throttle, and the brittle “house” of cards about to come crashing down on the US economy. The government is trying to rescue us by lowering interest rates and introducing a stimulus package to energize the economy. I feel that these efforts are not going to fix the root of the problem and things are going to get much much worse before there is any sign of a recovery. Here are seven creative ways in which we could revitalize the economy and keep us from becoming the bitch of the modern world.

Video Sharing site VEOH screws members and website partners big time!!!!!!!!!!
In an apparant slap in the face to the VEOH community, they are no longer allowing you to view vidoes longers than 20 minutes from their flash browser, instead they are only allowing 5 minute previews and are forcing people to use the brokenware VeohTV player. This is a horrible decision by veoh as there are plenty of other video sharing sites around now (Broadcaster, Guba, Myspace Videos, GoFish, iMeem, vidshadow, etc…..).
The kicker is all websites that have embedded these 20+ minute videos are now pretty much broken because Veoh appearantly doesn’t care about the synergistic traffic any longer.

Alli - Miracle Weight Loss Drug or Embarassment in a Bottle?
Alli, the newly FDA approved diet pill, is an over the counter version of the prescription-only weight-loss medicine, Xenical, that has been available for several years. Having previously heard of Xenical, I became interested and visited the alli website. While going through their on-line test to see if “I was ready for the alli plan,” I found pictures of greasy burgers, fatty foods, and even donuts, followed by a picture of the bathroom. The web-site has daily regiments you must stick to for losing weight, such as physical exercise, eating healthier and reducing fat in your diet. Why are they showing me pictures of hamburgers and donuts, are those the diet foods that the company is referring to? The other question is that if I were to exercise and reduce the amount of my fat consumption, I would lose weight anyway, why do I need this miracle pill? Read more
