my company oonyx corporation internal memo

OONYX is the industry leader of robust obfuscation. Imagine a combination of SVG and IIS. Our technology takes the best aspects of XSL and XMLHttpRequest. We will expand our aptitude to morph without diminishing our capacity to syndicate. Think extensible. A company that can deploy correctly will (one day) be able to morph elegantly. If you reinvent globally, you may have to deliver holistically. Quick: do you have a blog-based plan for dealing with emerging users? We will repurpose the industry jargon "transparent". We believe we know that it is better to recontextualize seamlessly than to leverage intra-intuitively. What does the industry jargon "C2C" really mean?

premium gas regular gas

do you ever wonder what the difference is between the premium and regular gas? i'm sure many have, especially with the retail gas prices rising of late.
well, scientific american has done the work forus. i didn't feel like reading the reasoning, but the conclusion they arrive to is this. if your car manual doesn't say that you need premium, you don't need premium.

great ideas are sometimes simple ideas that nobody really scrutinizes. as a male, we all know that we tend to aim at the urinal cake if present when we pee. but thoughts never go further than that.

but here is an example of person or group of people that did and are therefore better off for it. amsterdam airport has put a little fake fly in the urinals. according to this article, they say the idea is saving them a alot of money in cleaning cost.
