You know those military analysts the networks trot out to tell you that we're making progress in the war on terror? Turns out that a number of them are briefed by the Pentagon and have financial interests tied to the war (investments in defense companies). Shocker.
Quoted: Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.

Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster believes that the current 300% uptick in iPhone sales since the recent $200 price drop is "not sustainable." Today, on NPR, however, I heard Steve Jobs claim that they'd sell 10 million of these bad-boys this year. Yowzah! Makes me wonder if Apple has more tricks up their sleeve for this holiday season or if business is just going to be flat out insane?
To date, iPhone has sold 1 million units in 2.5 months. To put that in perspective though, it took them 2 years to sell 1 million iPods.

It is really nice to see Bob Nardelli gone and Frank Blake doing everything he can to improve morale and transparency to his investors. It's also nice that he takes less than 25% of the compensation of his predecssor. Finally, perhaps some governance!
Quoted: The chief for the home improvement chain will try to make up for past mistakes by laying out his vision for the future at its annual meeting Wednesday.
