Not a coincidence that YouTube's making a bunch of news announcements and opening up much more of its inner workings to developers on the day that NBC and the guys I work for at Fox roll out Hulu.com. Hulu's not supposed to compete with YouTube per se, though YouTube does want to compete with Hulu. Yes, even though YouTube is by far the most dominant video site on the net, it's the one who ... read more

I keep hearing people confusing yesterday's stock market rally with an "all clear" signal for this financial crisis. While I do think the free market forces combined with this trillion dollar bail out for Wall Street have put us on a path for strong growth during the 2nd and 3rd quarter of this year, I'm far from thinking we're through with the ramifications of the real estate bubble popping. ... read more

They asked me to go to the NYC Auto Show. I think they meant that high-falutin, tax-dollar subsidized NYC Auto Show from the Javitz Center. Instead, I headed up to Willet's Point, where there are no sidewalks or sewers, for a kept-real Pimp-My-Ride Auto show from the streets. As I ask in the video, I wonder just how much these people's lives could be improved with that $286 million of taxpayer ... read more

As Ben Stein so eloquently put it in this weekend's NYTimes, the fact is that by any standard definition of "recession" (typically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth) that we're not in one.  Yet, we've already thrown hundreds of billions of dollars of your tax money into the banking system through intraday liquidity injections, ... read more

People tell us that we play too loud But they don't know what our music's about We never listen to the record company man They try to change us and ruin our band. That's why we don't wanna be good That's why we don't wanna be good We're prisoners of rock and roll. When were jammin' in our old garage The girls come over and it sure gets hot We don't wanna be watered down Takin' orders from ... read more

Intel's report was shockingly good, if only because we all expected so much bad.  I certainly, even as bullish as I am for the near term, didn't expect that Intel would talk up demand trends.  I mean, you mean business is GOOD?! Remind me again why we've taken hundreds of billions of your tax dollars and given to the richest people on the planet who are simply worried that the market's going ... read more

As rationing has become the best case scenario in the food markets (rioting being the worst case scenario), we have to wonder if there really is starting to be a shortage of food in the world. And if so, why? I think we're seeing food shortages for these reasons: 1.  The food markets are totally manipulated and controlled by the developed world's governments and their cronies. The UN and ... read more
