Metafilter: The Sinking PetroDollar - abandon ship!

In an item over on Metafilter they're talking about "the float of the PetroDollar may stop once the lighter than water part leaves the Dollar."

Perhaps Saddam's idea of Oil-for-Food in Euros was another reason for the war. And putting pressure on Saudi Arabia was not so much about throttling the terrorist's funding, more about pressure on OPEC to keep the dollar.

Still the words used in this Venezuela article, even if it's a tabloid cheap shot are 'fighting talk.' Re: OPEC (and Iran) switching to Euros, "the immediate effect would be a massive devaluation, perhaps sparking of domino-effect devaluations worldwide in US$-related foreign reserves and foreign debt calculations."

Will Isreal pull the US into a Middle East war, a war over the petrodollar?

Will bin Laden's threat to bankrupt the US come true?

Tune in next week ";->"

A cacophony of tits

Good clean fun, that's what I say, but these are definitely not work safe, as they say on the site.

I could waste hours here, staring, with a funny grin on my face. (Too much detail, Steve!)

SAAB: the official archive of small and animated boobs.

Microsoft's battle for the living room

Guardian: The theory runs that within a decade, standard cathode ray tube TVs, VHS videos and DVD players will be history. In their place will be a home entertainment system in which one box wirelessly streams audio, video, web and television content to a series of flat screens and handheld devices throughout the home.

Blogs bring a boost to Jupiter Research

"Jock Gill, a former adviser on Internet media to President Clinton, says blogs work for Jupiter because they create trust and build connections with readers. "You do business with people you trust, and blogs help create that trust," Gill said."

Bringing in business they may not have otherwise got. The 50,000 page reads per day is nothing compared to the rest of Jupiter's site, but those hits are bringing in sales leads.
