Alan Greenspan thinks that sales of men’s underwear are useful indicator of the state of the economy, because men don’t buy underwear when times are tight.

Monkeying around in the elevator
williblog:
The evolutionary psychology of standing awkwardingly in an elevator. An article suggested to me by a friend while we were, well, standing awkwardly in a crowded elevator.
If the elevator is crowded, everybody stands still and stares at the ceiling, the floor or the button panel as if they’ve never seen it before. If two strangers ride together in the elevator, they stand as far...
Can you copyright a tweet? →
mrgan:
Brock Shinen, an attorney, chimes in on the question of whether tweets are copyrighted or even can be. The summary: no, and probably not.
Copyright and Tweets is really about practicality. Many people believe they own everything they post online, be it Tweets, Facebook status, or whatever. The truth is that most people are most likely incorrect in their assumption.

For Teenagers, Hello Means ‘How About a Hug?’ -... →
(via siddarth)
There is the basic friend hug, probably the most popular, and the bear hug, of course. But now there is also the bear claw, when a boy embraces a girl awkwardly with his elbows poking out.

Millionaires flee Maryland →
williblog:
Politicians in Annapolis created a millionaire tax bracket, raising the top marginal income-tax rate to 6.25%. And because cities such as Baltimore and Bethesda also impose income taxes, the state-local tax rate can go as high as 9.45%. Governor Martin O’Malley, a dedicated class warrior, declared that these richest 0.3% of filers were “willing and able to pay their fair share.” The...

Zero Hedge: Karma Is A Bitch v2 →
philscorner:
Porsche made some sweet moves in the fall to take control of VW. Turns out Porsche doesn’t have the cash to cover their move, and hedge funds are digging in for a counterattack.
This just keeps getting more and more interesting. My favorite article on the topic is here.

Credit Card Facts
mrgan:
The New York Times has an op-ed piece by Design for Democracy, an AIGA nonprofit group seeking to improve citizens’ interactions with the government better wherever a more thoughtful design would do so. You may remember their election ballot design guidelines. This time they’ve tackled credit card disclosure documents. You know the stuff: rolling fields of condensed, uppercase type on the...
