Obese In American!

I was just reading not to long ago online that obese American adults now out number the people that are considered just overweight. This study was done by the U.S. Federal Government. The amount of people that took part in this study where just under 4,400 people. This report as stated that more than one-third of adults are considered obese. Which comes out to just over 70 million people, wow. With a report like this you would think it would be a wake up call for a lot of people. And there’s really no reason for people to remain overweight with help a diet pill or other diet programs. And you know what, you really don‘t need to purchase diet products, just go for a walk at your local mall. I see hundreds walking every time I go to the mall in the morning. Very easy thing to do, and it’s free.

Yahoo Not For Sale!

It seems that Yahoo Inc no longer has plans to sell its self off, or their search business. Just a last year Yahoo almost sold themselves off to Microsoft. When that deal fell through Microsoft was looking to purchase their search business, but a deal couldn’t be made. If you remember, Microsoft was trying to get Yahoo for a steal, but co-founder Jerry Yang knew the true value of Yahoo and refused to sell. This was at the time when Yahoo’s stock was sinking, and shareholders where pushing for a sale. But Yang and Yahoo’s board said no. And in the end Yang step down because of shareholder pressure. I think by Yang standing his ground against Microsoft was the right move. And in a few years everyone will see why. But getting forced out doesn’t really matter to Yang, he can get out his netbooks and other toys and sit back and enjoy his life now. That’s what I would do.

Places to Get Deal!

The other day I was reading about how great the company Amazon was doing turning these tough times. Although Amazon sells tons of products now, they started with books. The category Amazon books has always been a big money maker for them. Just the other night I saw that their now selling books via ebooks. You can purchase a hand held devise that the ebooks are sent to, pretty neat idea if I may say so. I heard that this new way of reading is really catching on. I think it’s catching on is because you still get to hold something in your hand. In the past ebooks didn’t do so well because you could only read them on the computer, which would hurt your eyes over time. Anyway, I’m still for just the standard book deal, but that might go away someday.
