Who is the idiot?
Donald Trump gives out Republican rival's private number - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33613027
Something else is going on with this guy. He is like a "shock jock" for politics.
Apple profits soar
Apple posts record third-quarter sales on iPhone surge - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33616996
Something tells me the little kids making watches have not had to make too many, since not many have sold. Strange that Apple is tight lipped on that, generally they live sharing sales reports.
I remember when the iPod, iPad, and iPhone first came out. You saw them everywhere almost immediately. I don't think I have seen one person with the watch.

Some bailout
Greek debt crisis: 2bn euro arrears repaid to IMF - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-33602003
That is a rotten deal. You get 7 billion to help the country, which immediately has to turn around and give more than 6 billion of it to people outside the country, the whole time going even deeper in debt.
Could be good news
Raise in rates could hurt global economy
Not a good picture.
Want to see what happens

Pay Click
"""
THE MISSION SOUNDS SIMPLE: Pay writers and edit their work. This is not revolutionary, nor should it be, given journalism’s sepia-tinted legacy of pensions and expense accounts. But the idea was enough to draw more than 100 writers to Slant, a slick publisher-platform hybrid that launched in late June to server-busting traffic numbers.

Bloomberg Changes
"""
Since rejoining the media empire he founded and controls, Bloomberg L.P., late last year, the 73-year old billionaire has moved quickly to reassert his authority. He hired a new editorial czar. Newsroom management was reshuffled. He reiterated support for the fledgling TV operation. Layoffs occurred while a hiring spree continued.

Disney wins starwars.co.uk battle
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-33451674
Can't say that I like Disney owning Star Wars now. They are going to start exercising the considerable force now I suppose on anything star wars in the same manner as they have done with the well known children's stories they just happened to animate.
Don't see how this was an abusive use of the domain, and the fact that Disney passed on the early sunrise sale, would seem to me to be in the defendants favor. I am positive it would not have watered down the "brand".

Interesting statistics
Another about the trump-ster, but more interesting is the statistics on how much and how fast the Latino block of our country is growing. They are going to reshape our country if not already.

We have had some clunkers.......
..... as presidents and presidential candidates, but Trump scares me. He doesn't care about anything but his own opinion, and doesn't think he can be wrong. He will probably do some irreparable damage to the GOP, and so we will probably have another Democratic president.
