200805272308.jpgjust finished The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America’s Rich. interesting findings about the characteristics of the ‘truly wealthy’ (as opposed to people who appear wealthy but really aren’t). basically, the truly wealthy are cheap bastards (like me!).

Who are the rich in this country? What do they do? How do they invest? How did they get rich? Can you ever become one of them? Get the answers in The Millionaire Next Door, the never-before-told story about wealth in America. You’ll be surprised by what you find out.

200805272324.jpg just started: You: The Owner’s Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition.

Here’s an insider’s guide to the body that will make you healthier and younger.

Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen, two powerhouse doctors in both the medical profession and in the media, have made a virtual cottage industry around the YOU series. They team up once again to bring us this updated edition of You: The Owner’s Manual – the audio you should listen to before you listen to any other audiobook. The doctors have included a new chapter on the liver and pancreas, which will finally demystify the most exotic part of our bodies; a new workout chapter; and a Q & A.

Apple is #2 on the BW Infotech 100

apple | Monday, May 26th, 2008

Out of 30,500 companies, Apple is ranked #2 behind Amazon:

The InfoTech 100

Which companies are logging the strongest growth, which industries are the hottest, and how the winners are faring in a treacherous economic climate

How do you pick the best-performing tech companies in the world? At BusinessWeek, we sort through the financial results of 30,500 publicly traded companies and rank the tech players on four criteria: shareholder return, return on equity, total revenues, and revenue growth. The companies leading the list are those with the lowest aggregate ranking.

Amazon.com and Apple took the top two spots this year. Still, the dominance of U.S. companies is in decline: The country has 33 companies among the IT 100 this year, down from 43 in 2007. When we first started compiling the list in 1998 to rank tech’s top performers, 75 of the winners were U.S. companies.
