New Technological Lifestyle... Getting and Paying for What You Want. The advent of the internet has brought it, and from the looks of it, the concept will stay.

It Takes A Licking But Keeps On Ticking So, the Doomsday Clock is 5 minutes to Midnight. It was 7 minutes before Midnight in 2002. What's two minutes between disasters anyway? Are we closer to the end than we think? It all depends on who you talk to and the subjectivity of opinion. One person's security is another person's f
