...software makers - mainly Intuit, which commands 85% of the market, and H&R Block, which holds most of the rest with its TaxCut suite, according to market-tracker NPD Group - certainly bring in a tidy profit. But many of their customers are perpetual do-it-yourselfers like myself, people who have left behind paper and pencil, not a professional tax preparer. I like to think that I'm a numbers person and would do my own taxes no matter what. But the truth of the matter is, I have a relatively simple tax situation, one of the few advantages...
...paper it must have looked like an easy mission.

It's all about the benefits of the good life without all the headaches and commitment. In 1991, for example, 57% of people in a Yankelovich Monitor survey cited "being in control of their life" as the most important sign of accomplishment and success, while...
...Psychology, he and Jackson pour cold water over recent experiments that claim to have observed innate or precocious social cognition skills in infants. His own experiments indicate that a baby's fascination with physically impossible events merely reflects a response to stimuli that are novel. Data from the eye tracker and the measurement of the pupils (which widen in response to arousal or interest) show that impossible events involving familiar objects are no more interesting than possible events involving novel objects. In other words, when Daniel has seen the red train come out of the tunnel green a few times...
