China dominates USA in exports

China sells electronics and other manufactured goods to the US (1 container per second reaches US soil, round the clock) and in return imports raw materials like scrap paper and metal from the US to be used in manufacturing.

Facebook: a sign of the end

I was sitting at my desk at work today, flipping spreadsheets, and casually browsing Facebook, when I read the status of a Facebook friend and work colleague that said “Attila is not feeling well and has gone home to bed”. OK, I thought, Attila has gone home.  It was then that I realized the impact Facebook is making even in the work environment (productivity questions set aside) - I found out through Facebook that a friend and colleague that sits 5 desks away was ill and had gone home.

What is to become of us all?

For those addicts who are annoyed/sweating/experiencing palpitations that Facebook is down AGAIN today, you can log in without any hassle by going directly to http://www.facebook.com/login.php.

Just don’t add me as your friend.
