It’s everywhere on the interwebs now: Microsoft and Yahoo! are back at the table. This time Microsoft aren’t out to buy the company, rather they want to buy into it an retain an option to buy the entire company. Well, at least that’s what is rumoured. Seriously, I really like that Yahoo! are planning to integrate social features into their site. I just don’t think that the two companies are a good match, nor do I think they have a snowball’s hope in disrupting the chief disruptor: Google.

I’m on a total green roll right now, but hey! I was reading this list of the best cities for telecommuters and it got me to thinking: is telecommuting part of the problem or the answer to the question of how to reduce our carbon footprints?
Personally I think there are massive benefits for the environment, primarily from reduced emissions from commuters in traffic jams. However, there are numerous cons: telecommuters need to eat and stay warm at home all day. Reports also suggest that a society of telecommuters would also be highly fragmented.
Is it environment or social cohesion? Take your pick.

Have do you ever wonder what it would be like to be a big earning businessman? You’re not the only one, that’s for sure. It makes me ponder my own significance when companies such as Shell and BP announce $14.3 billion in combined profit for the first 3 months of 2008. I wonder: do these companies have a policy of giving back a portion of what they earn?

One thing that gets lost in the discussion about a falling dollar is that US profits soar on exports. Companies basically get more dollars for the same product after converting foreign currency into US dollars. This could significantly boost stock market gains for US investors.

Being in business isn’t easy, sometimes I think that success is nothing more than pot-luck: sometimes you make good decisions that pay off but you inevitably make poor decisions that cost time and money. However, it has to be said that some poor decisions are worse than others.
