The Devaluation of the Dollar

I remember that 6 years ago, I was able to buy a house in my country of origin, a very nice house in a very nice area, for a mere $50,000. Fast forward to today, that same house now costs $600,000 (I'm not kidding). The price of the house was up 12 times...

I just received an email stating that my LinkedIn Account has been blocked, apparently due to suspicious activity such as too many failed login attempts. Thankfully, because I investigate all the links before clicking on them, I noticed that the link does...

In the past few months, I have read many articles on Google's new innovation, Google plus. Apparently, with Google plus, you can connect with friends, share photos, stories, and other nonsense about yourself, that nobody cares about, except you, your wife...
