Labradoodle-Sheepa: are designer dog breeders going too far?
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:12:59 PDT
The current trend in designer dog breeding is outrageous. More attention should be brought to bare on this decadent trend, before the American Kennel Club is brought to its knees by a pack of "schnoodles." Have we no more standards of good breeding left in this great country?

The Future of Touch Screens
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:15:29 PDT
The Future of Touch Screens Sure the iPod Touch (an extension of the iPhone technology) is hot, but has the screensize reached its limit? No way — just think in 3 dimensions! So what’s next from Apple? Well I think one of my previous predictions can be merged with Apple’s creativity to create something really cool — the iScreen. First read my prediction here on my original Chief Prognosticator blog. Now think of a pocket sized screen like the iPod Touch, maybe smaller, which you can unfold i

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:19:21 PDT
At least 36 states are expected to face water shortages within the next five years, according to U.S. government estimates. Available freshwater supplies are dwindling across the country due to rising temperatures and droughts, while increasing sprawl, population and inefficient resource usage are leading to rising demand. “Is it a crisis? If we don’t do some decent water planning, it could be,” said Jack Hoffbuhr, executive director of the American Water Works Association. Rising temperatur

Think of it as Google Trends but for social data. One of the Facebook engineers working on the projects sent me the above query, but the possibilities are endless.

Vista Performance (not)
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:30:25 PDT
I have had almost no personal experience of Windows Vista, and having watched my manager struggle with it on her laptop, I am quite content to keep it that way. Randall C Kennedy of InfoWorld decided to compare Vista versus XP and Windows 2000 on the same hardware and produced this chart.

Alternative Healthcare's 5 Sleeper Business Trends

This article highlights 5 under the radar trends in the alternative healthcare industry that warrant consideration as part of your ongoing strategic planning and business intelligence process.
Last night's CMT Music Awards�the country-music television network's version of its sister network MTV's Video Music Awards�veered into "a little more than slightly excruciating" territory when co-host Miley Cyrus tripped her way through a Taylor Swift intro in which she talked about texting the glittery-guitar-hoisting country protege incessantly, an endless setup to what would be one of many "ha ha, Dad, I'm paying your bills!" zingers that the Hannah Montana star sent in the direction of her father/svengali, "Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes, he performed the line dance that sent him and his mullet to stardom back in 1992, the same year his cash cow was sired.) The opening skit, in which Trace Adkins and his really greasy mop tried currying favor with everyone from Donald Trump to the three remaining Presidential candidates in order to get passes to the show, also mined that route; its final punchline was that Billy Ray was making extra scratch by scalping tickets, which were of course hot properties because of his daughter's presence. That girl is going to be so messed up in three years. Full list of winners�which includes three awards for Kellie Pickler, two for Taylor Swift, and one for that super-creepy video where Jon Bon Jovi and Leann Rimes make out�after the jump.
