BP and Shell blow away profit forecasts

Sitting in the Dayton Airport waiting for my flight to Atlanta, I was paging through USA Today (free at my hotel, grabbed it as I wandered out this morning at 5 AM) and couldn’t help noticing that BP and Shell are reporting higher than expected profits.

Is there anything wrong with going green to see green

A friend asked me about that last post – what’s wrong with going Green to see more Green?

Are Big Tech Companies Going Green just to see More Green?

Interesting article on the big tech companies going green.  There’s a question as to whether the green movement among some high-tech companies is truly well intentioned and genuine or just rhetoric to gain a boost in PR. The article can be found here.

Off Topic: Lost a couple of posts

Well, I just upgraded my laptop from one of the first generation Macbook Pros (Core Duo 2.0, acquired to replace my failed PowerBook G4 a little over two years old) to a new Macbook Pro (Core2Duo 2.5).
