...company is Amazon.com--arguably the hottest ticket on the runaway train of electronic commerce--you surely might. Presuming, of course, you're not already late to the station. Amazon's stock, which rose more than 37 points in a single day last week, is flirting with doubling its value in the month of November alone.

...urinating cupid, but it wasn't even close: Libidinous pursuits accounted for a feckless 1.7 percent of the million-odd calls to Scoot over the past five months, in marked contrast to the numbers typically racked up by sex searches on Internet-only systems. Besides pizza procurement -- the runaway winner -- other popular query topics up Waterloo way include travel and party locations. In other words, directions to Domino...
