A good article on Walmart (not that it paints it in a good light)

Describes its economic impact on the economy and what it can do and does to suppliers. As I've said many times before, I wouldn't shop there if I didn't have to. Theoretically we're going to get another grocery store, it's rumored to be either a Kroger's or a Super Target. When that happens (IF it happens), I'll see the amount that I'm spending at Walmart decline quite sharply.

Thanks for posting the link, SA!

The internet is not full of porn?

From a study by a professor of statistics at the University of California-Berkeley and reported in the San Jose Mercury News:

"A confidential analysis of Internet search queries and a random sample of Web pages taken from Google and Micrsoft's giant Internet indexes showed that only about 1 percent of all Web pages contain sexually explicit material."

In my personal experience, I don't normally see porn in search results. Email spam, on the other hand...
