...hybrid Silverado, which gets better than 20 m.p.g., is the first genuine hybrid in the critical pickup-truck segment, which represents 15% of the total U.S. market. It's promising but a bit undernourished - the launch of this new hybrid truck has been undermined by cuts in production and advertising as GM has struggled to conserve cash. GM CEO Fritz Henderson says company-wide production should level out during the second half of 2009, and Peper asserts that advertising across models will increase over the next six months. If the hybrid Silverado is successful, it could be a very tangible...
...intern. The real beef lies with the businesses and bankers who are buying into a pretty self-evident report with some questionable assertions. While it's prefaced with a disclaimer that Morgan Stanley doesn't claim "representation or statistical accuracy," some of Robson's statements seem a little bit off. Some studies estimate that up to 31% of Twitter's users are between the ages of 15 and 19, which calls into question the worthiness of the bold assertion that "teenagers do not use Twitter."

She reminded me of something Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said in 2003. In an interview with English magazine The Spectator, he was quoted as calling Il Duce a “benign” dictator, saying “Mussolini never killed anyone” and “Mussolini just sent people on holiday to confine them...
...failing myself laterally for about 15 years now. My career is going in an almost perfectly sideways direction. Flying under the radar gives you a little more freedom. But at the same time, fame and popularity allow you to do what you want to do. It's a little bit paradoxical. I actually don't know anyone who wants to be famous for fame's sake, at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want...
