CNN – The scattered, futuristic world of home automation
The scattered, futuristic world of home automation http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/12/tech/innovation/future-home-automation/index.html?hpt=hp_bn5 Like cars and all vehicles, it’ll continue to be a moving target. No national standards association like UL or CSA or ANSI or whatever. So everyone’s tripping over themselves with great ideas. I can’t wait to see the Jetsons era. Heck I’ll settle for the Michel J.…

CNN – Nobody needs a 6-inch smartphone
Nobody needs a 6-inch smartphone http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/15/technology/mobile/huawei-6-inch-smartphone/index.html?source=cnn_bin Of course they do silly. Now everyone will actually be able to use a standard to measure men’s claims to manhood. Silly you, women will now know if men are lying or telling it like it is. The only thing left I suppose is to put a ruler on…

Journal de Montreal – La quête de Ben-Hur bientôt de retour
http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2013/01/15/la-quete-de-ben-hur-bientot-de-retour Finalement – il était temps. Mon Dieu ! Cool Ou bien quelqu’un a lu dans mes pensées ou mes ondes cérébrales du subconscient se sont projeté dans l’univers. Ce fut le premier film que j’ai vu dans le sous-sol d’une église à Laval, un samedi après-midi et j’ai payé un gros 25¢ à l’époque…

Oprah confirms Lance Armstrong confessed to doping during interview http://sports.nationalpost.com/2013/01/15/oprah-confirms-lance-armstrong-confessed-to-doping-during-interview/ So the morale of the story here – lie, cheat, steal, take drugs, get doped up, start a charity, use strong arm tactics, have affairs – it’s all good once you go on TV and air out your sold soul.

Financial Post – It’s not infidelity that kills marriages, it’s money
http://business.financialpost.com/2013/01/14/video-kevin-oleary-on-love-and-money/ Couldn’t agree more – it’s all about money. Problem is it’s all the husbands working like dogs to make dreams come true that derails the whole thing. In the meantime the women are romping between the sheets having their fun.

Terence Corcoran: Nortel never was an Enron http://opinion.financialpost.com/2013/01/14/terence-corcoran-nortel-never-was-an-enron/ Maybe so, however I’ll bet $100 that you weren’t employed by either. Hence the absurdity of the acquisitions on a daily basis and the ridiculous amounts in the BILLIONS to buy them from Nortel’s persecptive was a good buy because potential competition was swallowed up and not…
