For the first time since 1925, Coca-Cola has moved its secret recipe out of a bank vault, and put it on display in the company's World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta.

More recently, he's expressed his skepticism about how smoothly the AT&T purchase of T-Mobile USA will go. And he's also a cool enough guy to sit down for a chat with Consumerist. More »
