On the way to work this Friday morning I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio). They broadcasted an interview conducted by host Renee Montagne with General Electric’s CEO Jeffrey Immelt. Mr. Immelt spoke at an economic forum in Montreal earlier in June. He is asking for the United States to increase its exports, especially in areas where there has been or there is a lot of potential for success. That’s great, I agree with him, but he also states that American companies and products have to be competitive in the countries they are being sold in. He often used China…

I want to buy some Christmas music – the classics. We are getting close to Christmas and every once in a while I hear a tune through the radio or TV and it makes me what to listen to the whole peace. I am looking forward to the holidays.

I have been listening to radio, music and videos on the Web using tools like WinAmp, flash players and embedded Windows Media Player and QuickTime. For some reason, even though the volume on my PC is set to as low as possible without being 0, the sound coming through my headphones is always extremely loud. Is it really necessary for this sound to be so loud? Why do programmers feel the need to set the default volume so darn loud?

People are not naturally deaf, nor should we have to anticipate deafeningly loud sound coming from the speakers.

FOX News really needs to get new writers, because like always FOX is full of it.!. FOX News announcement of the earthquake in Illinois was “A powerful 5.2 magnitude earthquake in central Illinois sends skyscrapers swaying in Chicago.”. WTF FOX? I live 5 minutes from downtown, pretty much everyone in Chicago did NOT know that there was an earthquake until it was announced on the news this morning.

This bloated company needs to higher local reporters and get their drama lies straight. Oh wait, they did, that’s why they reported unrealistic events in Chicago.
