Friday InterestYou're Out: 20 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade

Old vcr The last ten years have brought us a windfall of new gadgets and gizmos, and with them, a new way of life.

Since 2000, we've gained iPods and iPads, Travelocity and Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare, BlackBerry smartphones and Android devices, Xboxes and Wiis, among many other new services, sites, and electronics. We're now poking, tweeting, Googling, and Skyping.

But in that time we've also changed our habits and lost a few things, too. As we look forward to 2011, HuffPostTech has taken a look back at the things that have become obsolete.  Continue reading Huffpost Tech

Below is a very private way to gauge how your memory  compares to the last test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty. Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.

Friday Editorial: Save the Planet: Shop Walmart

Save the Planet: Shop Walmart is an editorial posted by Walter Russell Mead Posted In: American History, Economic, Global Warming.

Original walmart Shifting my main base of operations from the stately Mead manor in Queens to the rustic Mead hideaway in the rolling hunt country of Duchess County involves a lot of shopping; fortunately for me there is a Walmart just a few miles away.

At the risk of forfeiting any remaining elite cred I may have, let me confess: I love Walmart.  For years, every time I traveled outside New York, I descended on Walmart stores across the country. Everything in those stores is significantly cheaper than in the hoity-toity New York department stores that want me to pay $9 and up for a “designer” undershirt.  For the price of a pair of socks in New York I can get three pairs at the average Walmart.

Friday - In A Silent Way

Hear-see-speak-no-evil1 Readers who get their news from the the mainstream media are remarkably ill informed. Much of what they "know" isn't true and much of what they don't know is important. Take the case of what Byron York calls "the NASA (non) feeding frenzy."

You know the story. The guy whom President Obama has put in charge of NASA reports that he has been tasked by President Obama with missions having nothing to do with space exploration. Perhaps the foremost of these missions is to make the Muslim world feel good about itself.

Total words about the NASA outreach program in the New York Times: 0.

Total words about the NASA outreach program in the Washington Post: 0.

Total words about the NASA outreach program on NBC Nightly News: 0.

Total words about the NASA outreach program on ABC World News: 0.

Total words about the NASA outreach program on CBS Evening News: 0.

When the story doesn't suit the media's purposes, it gets the silent treatment. Most recently, the matter of the New Black Panther Party and J. Christian Adams is a story with a genuine racist component (or two) that has been accorded the silent treatment.  See PowerLine.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
