New credit card rules may reveal unwelcome details
Yahoo! Finance
NOTE from Ryan: It sure sounds like these credit card companies have ALL the cards in their hands, huh?
"The rules your credit card company operates by will start getting much clearer on Thursday. But just because you'll know what they're up to doesn't mean you're going to like what you learn.
Regulations aimed at reining in practices like unexpected interest rate increases and credit limit cuts start with two rules. Consumers will now be given advance warning of any major changes to the terms of their accounts, and get more time to pay their balance after receiving a bill."

10 stupidest tech company blunders
PC World- msnbc.com
Note from Ryan: I found this listing of the 10 stupidest tech company blunders soooooooooo interesting. I remember these WHEN they happened. Wanted to share them with you.
"Some of the biggest high-tech deals never happened. Some of the most promising products and services never came to be. Why? Because the people and companies involved didn't realize what they were letting slip through their fingers, or they simply couldn't foresee what would happen afterward.
Change just a few circumstances, and there might not be an Apple or a Microsoft today. Yahoo might be the king of the search hill, with Google lagging behind. You might be reading this on a Xerox-built computer via a CompuServe account while listening to your favorite tunes on a RealPod.
People say hindsight is 20-20. If so, our vision is acute. Here are our picks for the biggest missed opportunities in the history of technology."
