- It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s birthday! 63. I give you Arnold with Tia Carrere in True Lies.
- Nice market recovery after the weak open. The bulls are in control.
- iPhone 4 update: Took awhile to get apps restored and contacts loaded. But everything is a go.
- The US GDP slowed in the 2nd quarter. Ya think?
- Over at 38 Pitches, Curt Schilling is not seeing any job creation.
- The iPhone 4 is much faster than the 3G. Apps load quickly. If you’ve seen the movie Inception, then the 3G is a few layers deep compared to the 4. Seconds for the 4 can mean many more seconds for the 3G.
- The Confused Capitalist believes that financial advisors and the blogosphere is asleep to global warming. They are generally asleep - or worse - unconscious to the threat to global warming. Even from the strictly narrow and selfish point of view of market returns, they are failing their clients and readers in not discussing this widely and frequently.
- I’m making a new bullet point to be perfectly clear. Global warming. LOL.
Arnold-Shmarnold. More Tia! Sorry, no nude Tia Carrere pics. But they are available if you turn off the safesearch mode in google image search. Just saying. For entertainment purposes only.- Keeping track of the SP500 index trackers.
- The iPhone 4 battery seems to hold a charge for a very long time compared to the 3G. Similar to iPad.
- I hope the Chevy Volt works for folks. I really do. But I see Hollywood stars driving them to awards shows, and then when the cameras aren’t looking, speeding away in Mercedes.
- GM boosting Volt production.
- Is gaming the future of social media? I’m thinking, in the back of my mind, that this consolidation and attention is a contrarian indicator.
- Consumers are not spending like drunken sailors. The economy is heading nowhere fast. That's the bad news. But the good news is that it still seems like consumers may have actually learned a lesson or two about reckless fiscal behavior. Maybe they’re all playing Zynga games on their iPads and iPhones.
