Submission + - Washington Post fires mobile team (huffingtonpost.com) 1
imac.usr writes: The Huffington Post is reporting that The Washington Post has gone through yet another round of layoffs, but this time instead of cutting editorial positions, they're apparently cutting IT positions, specifically in the mobile applications department. According to Washington, DC media blog FishbowlDC, 54 people, including the General Manager of Mobile and Director of Mobile Products were given the axe on Valentine's Day. A particularly damning quote from the FishbowlDC article: '“[CIO and VP Shaliesh] Prakash thinks these are ‘inefficiencies’ – that is the exact word he uses for human beings who are not useful according to him,” said a source who spoke only on condition of anonymity. “Get rid of experienced people to save money, under the garb of streamlining is the new trend inside the Post.”'
Given that mobile products seem somewhat more likely to succeed than printed newspapers, this seems a strange decision at best.

I think this was inevitable given how much better Chrome is then all the competition. Once Chrome gets the breadth of plugins that Firefox has, it's game over.

Hang on, nearly 10% of men in the study contracted prostate cancer?! That seems extraordinarily high doesn't it?

Right on the money. Seems so obvious when laid out like this, but is counter-intuitive to many people.
Add to that the very high taxes that already exist on cigarettes and you can bet that no government wants people to quit smoking. They are cash cows both in tax revenue and then savings on the back-end when they die early. Win-win!

Very well said and right on target. It's seems kind of strange too when you consider it really wasn't that long ago that having a gun or two in the house was not only common place, but carried no social stigma at all.
On topic, it seems very simple to me - you need to survive. Survival is two basic parts, sustenance and self defense/protection. Have food and water (and a way to procure more) and a way to defend yourself from the elements and predators. The things you need to satisfy those two basic requirements seem pretty obvious.
