By Mary Beth Quirk on May 21, 2012 2:00 PM

It could partly be due to the fact that often, EV drivers are more careful and tend to get in less accidents. More »

By Laura Northrup on April 24, 2012 9:00 AM  
N. got in trouble while standing in the receipt check line at his local BJ's warehouse club, but it wasn't for attempting to leave the store without having his cart checked. No, it was for something far more insidious than that: snapping a quick picture of a board advertising club member prices for cruises so he could comparison shop later. What a hardened criminal! The receipt checker set off the door alarm, catching the attention of a nearby police officer, and insisted to N. that there is no photography allowed anywhere inside a BJ's club, ever. Cool story bro, but that's not actually true. More »

    Plastic Surgeon Sues Patient For Defamation After Negative Online Reviews
    By Mary Beth Quirk on May 22, 2012 11:00 AM  
    Online rating sites are a great tool for consumers researching services their peers have already experienced. So in the case of getting cosmetic surgery, a bad review is akin to a huge spitball thrown at a business, which is why an Orlando plastic surgeon is suing one of his former patients for defaming him online.

    By Mary Beth Quirk on May 21, 2012 1:00 PM

    By Laura Northrup on May 14, 2012 11:30 AM  
    Safeway's Lucerne house brand ice creams have been repackaged, and now come in a round container branded the "Easy-Scoop Package." That's a nice redesign, and round containers are easier to scoop from. Only, as reader Ryan points out, maybe the ice cream is easier to scoop now because there's now a half-quart less of it. More »

    By Mary Beth Quirk on May 22, 2012 3:30 PM

    Shareholders To Weigh In On Whether Kraft's Mondelez Is Too Silly Of A Name
    By Mary Beth Quirk on May 21, 2012 3:00 PM  
    The collective "who now what's that huh?" uttered when Kraft announced it was naming its spin-off snack business "Mondelez" — a combination of Latin words for "world" and "delicious" — and resulting jokes will no doubt factor in to a shareholder meeting that will decide whether the name is officially approved or not.
