...prices have tumbled to below $25. This breather from high energy costs is going to be short-lived. In the past two years, members of the cartel have stuck close to their output quotas, which they demonstrated in last week's announced production pullback. That will bring crude prices above $25 per bbl. again. Should crude top $30 for a prolonged period, it will further eviscerate U.S. corporate profits and have a deeply corrosive effect on the entire U.S. economy...

There's rich irony here. Until this case, officials in Washington and Brussels had boasted that competition policy was an area of splendid cooperation across the Atlantic.

In any event, GE competitors opposed to the deal are--like UTC--just as likely to be American as European. Airbus, Europe's flagship aviation company, says it supported the GE-Honeywell deal. I understand...
SpectorSoft has sold 35,000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a booming market. WinWhatWhere, another big player, sells primarily to businesses, but what it calls the "disgruntled spouse" market has been finding WinWhatWhere.
