Electric bikes are hybrids: They run on old-fashioned pedaling power and have a battery. Electric bikes are perfect for commuters who want to get into the city quickly and cheaply (no gas, [...]
If you had taken advantage of the App Store opportunity alert I posted (Read “The iPhone Opportunity”), you’d be holding a nice chunk of change right about now. The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple’s App Store earned $30M in revenue in its first month of operation.

In a very timely decision, the California Supreme Court just granted all formerly-employed (and future unemployed) Californians permission to steal clients and work from their former employers.
