SUPER BOWL SUNDAY had a little of everything: Terrible Towels, MVPs on parade, The Whopperettes, an instant-replay reversal, Cheesy Bites, "We have a Code Black," repeated and annoying Radio Shack ads, "Satisfaction," a gadget-play touchdown, ABC's NFL swan song, The Bus's Last Ride, Fabio and, of course, a game for all ages. Anyway, I took notes:
The current high fuel prices bring to mind at least several gas- saving devices I've run into from time to time. A retired country singer down in Texas once invented a simple little fine-mesh bronze screen gadget that fit into the throat of any auto carburetor and, according to his TV ads, remarkably increased gas mileage. The fact that he gave me a large display card with a dozen of the flimsy devices attached to it told me they most likely didn't work (or sell) all that well. And then there were the "cow magnets." These magnets normally are forced down a cow's gullet and settle in the animal's stomach where they attract and gather up nails and other sharp bits of scrap metal the animal may accidentally ingest. By so doing, they prevent the sharp metal from puncturing the stomach wall,...
Give it away for free" must be the new mantra for publishers and technology companies. And the adjunct to this mantra is "advertising is what drives revenues." Actually, a third component exists: Trust that the search engines will drive traffic to your ad-supported site. One blogger wrote on TechCrunch that the notion of paying to access content is flawed in a connected online world where virtually everything is free, particularly content. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of the free Web, the traditional information providers continue to build and improve their subscription services. EBSCO Publishing has acquired 10 social science indexes from SAGE. The deal will bring print indexes to users electronically through the EBSCOhost platform. Les Echos, the French newspaper, announced the in...

THE pervasiveness of Google within the Internet space is beyond question. As of September 2007, Google was the most used search engine on the web, dominating a 57% market share, ahead of Yahoo! (23.7%) and Windows Live (10.3%), according to comScore. Google's utility and ease of use have made it one of the world's best- known brands almost entirely through word of mouth. As it increasingly seeps into our everyday language, the word `google' - originally a misspelling of `googol', which refers to 10100 - became a verb.

There is so much "business" that the fourth big comic book movie adaptation of the summer has to take care of that frankly, it's astounding that director Joe "Jumanji" Johnston is able to take care of it all, and with style. Captain America" has to connect this World War II-era hero to modern times. The movie has to tie into all the other Marvel comic book movies that are part of "The Avengers," because as the title implies, the good captain is "The First Avenger." It has to deliver the origin myth -- how Captain America was born out of a "super soldier" experiment during WWII. The film has to back-engineer its way into the meeting between the Captain (Chris Evans) and the Avenger leader we know as Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), and give us a credible version of future Iron M...
