...unfair criticism. The best way to make decent money through Demand, as I discovered, is to research and write at breakneck pace, and the result is content that only just squeaks through the system. Working as fast as possible, I could make close to $60 an hour at Demand, a nice improvement on what I'm paid for my day job, but I'd be producing articles that were thinly sourced and poorly written.

...rewrite. All told, 40% of the 20 or so articles I submitted required some additional work before they got posted. My deliberate haste and sloppiness with Demand stories have led copy editors to give me, on a five-point scale, a pretty crummy 3.5 for grammar and 3.7 for research.

...other challenges too. Deere has had to pump billions of dollars into engine technology to meet changing U.S. emission standards coming in 2011 and again in 2014 - costs it will pass on to customers through higher prices. "The 2011 product will go up several thousand dollars in price," Longbow Research analyst Eli Lustgarten says. "So when prices go up again just three years later, even the most price-inelastic customers will feel...
...concerned with improving how we deal with all choices. She examines decisions both minor--like choosing the beverages we drink--and monumental, including the dilemma of parents faced with whether or not to keep brain-damaged infants on life support. Through personal stories, her own experiments and other research, she dissects perceptions of choice (do we actually have it, and how desirable is it?) and what those perceptions mean. While Iyengar's often strained attempts to affect a colloquial tone are jarring, her point is well taken. As she suggests, in a world with ever increasing options, understanding choice...
