Comment Dice is failing (Score 0) 195

The "managers" at Dice are not only ruining Slashdot, they can't even run their legacy business. Look at Dice Holdings stock performance:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=D...

While the S&P 500 and Dow 30 are each up 20% and 10% over the last year, DHX is down close to 30%. I wonder if the stock analysts who cover DHX even know what is happening to this newly acquired "asset". I wonder how many DHX shareholders know.

If the decision makers at Dice won't listen to the nerds, maybe they will listen to their shareholders.

Comment US consumption of oil is way down (Score 2, Informative) 236

Increased supply is only part of the equation.

US oil consumption has dropped down to mid 1990's level: http://www.eia.gov/countries/country-data.cfm?fips=US#pet

The trend of declining oil consumption should continue due to factors such as:

- continued underemployment
- aging population
- urbanization
- improved vehicle fuel efficiency

Also, Iran knows that if Republicans come back to power, Israel will be able to dupe the US into attacking Iran. It is prudent for Iran to negotiate a deal with an administration that is capable of negotiating (and isn't Israel's puppet).

Google is complacent in this.

Much of humanity sees the Google home page on a daily basis. Google can easily get the masses to take interest if they wanted to. How about a Big Brother doodle (the 'O's in 'GOOGLE can be similar to xeyes which continously track mouse movement) that, when clicked, dumps all info known to Google about the user. The sheeple will take notice when they see their IP, geo location, email addresses, FB pages, browsing history, name, phone numbers, contacts, installed apps etc ... displayed on the screen. Let the visitors know that mobile phones are necessarily tracked, and that the NSA keeps a record of all their electronic communications.

Problem is that Google, itself, needs to wittle away our rights to privacy to compete with the likes of FaceBook.
