Cap pay at $400K for Wall Street 'idiots'
I found this story “Senator: Cap pay at $400K for Wall Street ‘idiots’” on CNNMoney through nobosh and thought it worthy for a post on ForFrakSake.
This week had more news of Wall Street taking advantage of the tax payer while the government continues to send Wall Street bundles of undeserved money. The main stories of the week regarding the ‘idiots on Wall...

Over the weekend, I purchased Apple’s new in-ear headphones. I’ve always been a fan of the way in-ear headphone fit my ear and have been wishing for Apple to realize such a product.

My Favorite IE6 Hack
I just had to use one of my favorite IE6 hacks for a project and thought I’d post the IE6 hack I’ve used before on past projects such as nobosh.

Tomorrow morning, January 6th 2008 at 9 a.m. Pacific Apple marketing executive Phil Schiller will take the stage, front and center at San Francisco’s Moscone West convention center to give the Macworld keynote address...
CEOs Getting a Free Pass
With the economy getting worse by the minute, many poor performing CEOs are using the economy to hide their lackluster performance. Nearly every publicly traded company has lost a significant portion of their market share in the past 6 months due to the recession. What I find interesting is that if the economy hadn’t plummeted, several CEOs such as Bob Iger and Jeffrey Immelt would be in...

Sick of the pages with irrelevant, uninteresting content squeezed between the advertisements? I and a growing number of people were getting tired of broken news sites which is what led me to create nobosh which covers, current business news, news on technology, current health...
Steve Jobs isn't Going Anywhere!
For those of you who haven’t heard today’s Steve Jobs news, let me the first to tell you that Steve Job’s doctors have identified his health problem which has led to his extreme weight loss.
