87Why Windows 8 might Kill Microsoft
John Lennon was talking about world peace and the end of religion when he wrote that famous song. You might be easily forgiven if you assessed Microsoft's chances of going belly up as only slightly more likely than what that song imagined. Heck, you might be forgiven for thinking it's even less likely!

The first awning I ever encountered on a personal basis was attached to our very first camping trailer. When considering purchasing this trailer, my wife and I had been delighted to see that it had both an awning and a wooden deck. You might think that a deck is an odd thing to have with a camping trailer, but this trailer was a permanent resident of a park, so neither it nor the deck were going to be moved. We imagined ourselves sitting in the shade of that awning, sipping margaritas on lovely

78Bosch Dishwasher soap bubble suds problems and no solution yet
One of our complaints about the GE was that it didn't seem to wash very well. We happen to be big water drinkers and we filter our tap water rather than contributing to more pollution with bottled water. We had noticed with the GE that we'd see little soap bubbles if we didn't rinse our glasses before using them. We could also taste it - we wouldn't have noticed it with milk or juice, but it s

91Scrap jewelry, copper, silver and gold coins - hoarding, melting and collecting
Nobody pays the actual metal value. Refiners have costs and even without that, you usually aren't selling to the actual refiner. In many cases, you aren't even selling to someone who actually is selling to the refiner - you'll be selling to someone who sells to someone else and maybe they eventually haul everything off to be melted.

84Treasure in Your Pocket Change - WarTime Nickels (35% Silver)
I suspect the 1950's were probably the ideal time for collecting U.S. coins from pocket change. You could find Mercury dimes and Buffalo nickels daily. Even the older Barber dimes and the Liberty or Shield nickels would turn up now and then. Standing Liberty Quarters and Half Dollars were common. Indian Head pennies were more unusual but not impossible to find and if you wanted real silver dollars - Peace and Morgan - all you needed to do was go to the bank and ask for them.

81Do you really think you are fooling Google?
If you are under some delusion that Google is happy to serve up self promoted content and doesn't care whether or not it is the BEST result for the person doing the searching, you really need to wake up. Google cares because they have billions of dollars at stake. If search competitors learn how to separate the cream from the rest, Google will lose billions upon billions of dollars. They are NOT going to let that happen.

77Worrying about my Oral-B Electric Toothbrush
A confession here: I'm a bit of a compulsive brusher. I can't go for more than a few minutes after eating without flossing and it's not long after that I want to brush. I very often brush three to four times a day. The dentists and oral hygienests needn't panic just now. I use a soft brush, I'm not bearing down hard, and the "extra" cycles are quick, not full length cleaning. Morning and night I do the full four minute job, but during the day, I don't. I'm not wearing away enamel or damaging my
