I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.

News publishers here're some points to be noted..

1. For the last few weeks I've got "breaking news" about Endeavour's launch being delayed. The first day it was interesting, the second 'again?' and the third day it was like, alrighty enough. This is the 18th straight day you have updated my google news page with yet another delay about the launch. Here's the tip, we (your readers) will assume it is delayed indefinitely, till you actually update us telling us otherwise. Deal?

2. Its recession time, people lose jobs and everyone is aware of it. People[me included] are bugged reading yet another "well researched" report on why the stocks are tumbling, and how savings are becoming half.

3. Lets face it, bing is another search engine, yay. 400 reports on your site to tell me how bing is taking share away from google and yahoo just show you are on M$'s payroll. Henceforth, I refuse to google using bing.

4. I am not sure how you classify "Technology", but getting this [Cats Use "Irresistible" Purr-Whine to Get Their Way] news link in my technology RSS feed shows me either you are desperate to get whiny readers who own pussies or you need to fire your software engineer. Hey this way you can save the mandatory layoff money.

5. Less than 100 people are affected by swine flu, deal with it. If you aren't aware, more people have aids, some 100,000 times more. And more have cardiac problems. Keep things in perspective.

6. Before you advise me on stocks, whether to buy/long or sell/put, please disclose your/your company assets and stock holdings. A few pieces I've read have asked me to buy "hot" stocks. Many of which were smaller holdings of your parent company. Caught you.

7. Enough with the iPhone articles already. It's been 3 years already, and you people are still obsessing over "copy and paste". And wait, the compass. I have an iPhone and I haven't had one decent phone cal since. Portable hand held touch screen computer, yes, cell phone, no!

8. Twitter is stupid. And it isn't news (definitely not worthy of my 2 minutes to see and delete the link on my RSS feed) when a new celebrity starts twittering.

9. Stop obsessing over privacy issues, this is the 10th article this week about how my privacy is compromised if I eventually use Chrome OS. If you are that paranoid that google with use your browsing habits to take over the world, then please, google using bing. I rather see relevant ads than those that want to increase my "size".

10. Alright, enough with the teachers with students bit, that was so 2007. Jeez.

Here's a thought you'll have over looked - automotive title loans. With title loans, you'll apply simply and every payday loans online chicago one you'd want to undertake and to is have a transparent title on your vehicle. That technique you'll use the equity you have in your automotive as collateral to secure the loan. If you'll apply on-line, the loaner won't understand if the automotive is running or not.
