If you’re living in Seattle, Washington, you’re about to get a major pay increase.  Washington state has the highest minimum wage of any state in the union, with the lowest any employee can make being $9.32 an hour.  That’s a pretty good start.  You’re not exactly making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but […]

He’s probably the most important man in the history of Microsoft not named Bill Gates.  The company’s first non-Gates CEO, Steve Ballmer was the man behind the Microsoft Surface and one of the people fighting to bring the company into the 21st Century.  He made his mark with the company, then stepped aside for the […]

It was a big-screen success, but the original Daredevil film starring Ben Affleck as “the Man Without Fear,” Matt Murdoch, has taken something of a beating in recent years, probably due to the failure of the Elektra film, fallout from Bennifer, and various other assorted reasons mostly pointing the blame to Ben Affleck.  But Daredevil […]

Dr. Dre isn’t a real doctor, but he’s really rich.  The rapper turned producer turned mogul is one of the wealthiest artists in the hip hop game, and he’s about to claim the ultimate bit of bragging rights over fellow moneyed rappers Jay Z and Sean Combs.  Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine are the majority […]

With its closely-guarded secret recipe, you’d think that Coca-Cola’s products were inviolate.  The same ingredients in Coke are the same ingredients Coke has always used, and that’s that.  Well, that’s definitely not the case.  Coca-Cola has no problems tinkering with its recipe to save money, like switching from sugar to corn syrup, and removing potentially […]

In 2015, CBS will have a new slate when it comes to late-night television.  David Letterman will be retiring to make way for Stephen Colbert, and the guy who I wanted to replace David Letterman will apparently be riding off into the sunset, too.  Craig Ferguson will be retiring from the Late Late Show when his […]

Donald Sterling has a pretty checkered past as far as racism is concerned.  He was accused of racism by former Los Angeles Clippers GM Elgin Baylor of racism.  He settled a lawsuit made by a group of property renters alleging he refused to rent to non-Koreans in LA’s Koreatown and further discriminated against black people, […]

Amazingly, before 2009, the FDA had no ability to control the sale of cigarettes in the United States.  In January 2010, the FDA lost a lawsuit banning the importation of e-cigarettes, and now the marketplace has exploded.  It seems like everywhere you go there are e-cigarettes being sold or used, and it was only a […]
