The Valley's latest extreme sport is feigning nonchalance about the economy. Living in an earthquake zone requires developing a habit of stoic flinchiness. The economy's seismic shifts are slower, but just as unpredictable; all one can do it shrug one's shoulders, stock the emergency kit, and keep on living. "We're watching the economy crater all around us, but ... well, we're not really seeing any direct impact," writes Tech Ticker anchor Sarah Lacy. "Making things ...

Get some traffic before you put ads in the blog - "Wait until you have 100,000 page views a month, because before that, any monetization will just make coffee money." 2. Stick to a niche but widen your focus - "Instead of picking a niche like diet tips, where there’s ...

Now that Vodafone officially announced the price of iPhone, a local rep. shared some details about the various tariff plans that are available for Vodafone customers in India. Unlike BlackBerry, Vodafone offers no "unlimited data" plan for iPhone users. That means if you exhaust your monthly data usage limit, be prepared to shell out an extra Rs 5 per MB of data exchanged. The monthly rent for iPhone will range from Rs 500 to Rs ...

The 2009 Corvette ZR1 is the best car ever made. It redefines what performance cars are capable of, not by its numbers (the 0-to-60 in 3.3 seconds and a 205 MPH top speed figures are no longer noteworthy north of $100,000), but by how it makes those numbers so accessible. Simply put, the ZR1's most remarkable achievement is how easy and unintimidating the chassis makes exploiting the car's 638 HP. The only problem is I'm ...

英國《金融時報》上周發表的一篇報導稱，中國目前正重新成為世界工廠，並將於明年超過美國，成為全球最大的制造國。我和美國全國制造商協會(National Association of Manufacturers)的其他成員強烈反對這一預測。中國要趕超美國，還有很長的路要走。全國制造商協會的分析顯示，就實際制造業增加值（經通脹因素調整，以反映產量）而論，美國迄今仍為全球最大的制造國，占全球工業產出的近四分之一。基於倍受尊崇的世界銀行(World Bank)數據庫，我們的分析同樣顯示，美國今年的產出將是第四大經濟體——中國（歐盟與日本分別排在第二與第三位）的兩倍。即便以目前美元計價的制造業標准衡量（由於人民幣不斷升值及其它因素，這將提升中國的地位），中國2008年的產出將僅為美國的60%左右。 全文
