USATODAY.com - For most of the past 15 years, the number of people taking the General Educational Development tests steadily rose, with the number jumping sharply in 2001. But the figure plummeted 43.6% in 2002 - from nearly 1.1 million to 603,000, according to a new report from the American Council on Education, which oversees the high school equivalency exams.

That's how one analyst explained the recurring product delays at Microsoft, and the principle can describe similar problems at chip giant Intel. Instead of waking up sick and washed out, employees at these companies are seemingly dawdling a bit because of past successes and a hazy outlook. You can imagine the scene: You're a product manager for Windows. You wake up one day and hear analysts and competitors saying that Linux will begin to creep onto desktops. At the same time, the Linux desktop may not happen for several years. Your financial outlook is better than you ever expected back in college. At the same time, you also see few great opportunities for rapid internal advancement or lateral placement.

USATODAY.com - If you have not yet received e-mail spam, you must be living on another planet. Most of us have been deluged with unsolicited commercial e-mails, and as a result, various laws have been passed and technological methods have been employed to grapple with this growing problem. Just when it seems like the situation could not get any worse, spam messages now are finding their way onto our cell phones. Verizon Wireless says enough's enough, and has filed a federal lawsuit in New Jersey against various alleged cell phone spammers.

A Tale of the Uh-Oh's: Amelia Takes A
Fall


A Tale of the Uh-Oh's: Amelia Takes A
Fall
12/30/2004 09:54 PM
At the dawn of this psychotic decade, I proposed, on instinct, that we should call it the Uh-Oh's. Decades need names. How else are we map their unique zeitgeists in our subsequent reflections on them? Imagine, for example, how awkward our historical recollections would become if we could not refer to "the 60's," a decade which needed no adjective, unlike, say, "the Roaring 20's?" The name is the frame, and the frame says it all. But despite my efforts at that time, and occasional subsequent stabs, no one followed my suggestion. Furthermore, despite all the obvious historical hints, you have refused to see the appropriateness of my proposed name. Now, as we reach the mid-point of this critical passage, it remains nameless to everyone but me. You still have no verbal short-hand to refer to the decade that gave us 911, Bush the Younger, the Iraqi Tragedy, the comeuppance of the formerly Almighty Dollar, and now, one of the the most calamitous shit-kickings we've ever taken from Mutha Nature. (70,000 dead and barely counting anymore...) I cannot count the times over the last five years when when various tidings of the epoch made me mutter an involuntary "uh-oh" upon receiving them. And still, you resist my suggestion. What's it going to take, folks? Oh, never mind. You'll either see my point or you won't. I had another of those moments on the afternoon of December 22. I got a phone call from Stephan Zaffalon, the sweet young Austro-Italian with whom my youngest daughter Amelia has been knocking around Europe for the last several weeks. Anxiety palpable in his soft voice, he said, "First, I must tell you that Amelia is ok." That didn't sound good. I had been assuming that Amelia was ok. To be told that she was forced me to the immediate conclusion that shortly before he placed this transatlantic call, she might not have been. "Uh-oh," I said....
