This stuff is so freakin' cool. I want to see what they willl do with it in the near future.
My article this week is about how the company Aluminum giant Alcoa (AA, Fortune 500), is about to cut 13% of their workforce. This will make it from $900 million to $950 million extra for the company. Some other companies that are cutting people are Macy's and American Eagle.
