What could possibly have gone wrong with a Wal-Mart social network aimed at teens? What could possibly have kept legions of teens […]
The closing of Tower Records shows that a chain of cluttered, over-priced record stores staffed by arrogant clerks who hated to be bothered by customer interaction might have a little trouble making it in today’s world of increased choice.

“Digital divide” meets the “generation gap.”
First off, I’m kind of surprised rotary phones even still work with all of the required number punching to do squat. She must have spent ages on hold waiting for an operator to pick up any time she called a company with any form of automated operator. Second, 82 years […]
Let’s look at the arguments for bankruptcy:
