Walgreens Sues Wegmans Over The Letter "W"
I have to admit...I get them confused when I look at fliers to signs quickly, all I see is W******. Of course who owns the W seems silly to me.

Private Prisons Worked To Pass AZ Immigration Law
Why aren't we farming these out to third world countries, anyway? We could easily build state of the art prisons with minimal US oversight while employing third world labor as guards for a fraction of the cost of doing it here.
It would be MUCH cheaper to outsource some of the prison population (supermax type) overseas.
Priceline Restores Insanity, Moves Hotel Reservation To Different City
My father in law was recently booted from a Marriott that overbooked. In turn, they booked him at a JW Marriott about 10 minutes away at the same rate and gave him a free night during that stay and a 3 day voucher for another stay.
Of course, he is Platinum. I have never had a problem booking with Marriott.
Warner Bros. Considering Longer Delay For New Releases On Netflix
/agree.
If I am excited about something coming out on BR or DVD (like director's cut of Avatar), I will buy it regardless if Netflix has it at the same time or not. I would gladly wait another month if there was a substantial increase in older movies being included in the library.

How to Protect Yourself From Inflation
Well $1 to $6 over 40 years is not a 600% return. If you use an excel spreadsheet, this is very easy to calculate: Start with A1 with a value of $1.00 then make A2 a value of "=a1*1.05". Copy A2 into a3 to a40 and voila - $6.70.
So inflation has been around 4-5% in reality. A 600% return would result in the equivalent value of a 1970 dollar to be $2.22792E+30. That is more like Zimbabwe dollars.
