POPSWhy can't we resist that Snickers bar or put down the bag of chips? I clipped this from a great article that discusses the brain chemistry involved in the food industry's production of food products we simply can't resist - no matter how bad they are for us or how fat they make us. The more i've begun to pay attention to this issue, the more similarities i see between the food and tobacco industries.

POPSCan email patterns within a company signal impending doom? This study was based primarily on email patterns amongst employees of Enron before the collapse. Would be fascinating to know if similar patterns were evident at Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns and other financial firms leading up to their collapse. If so, you have to wonder if the public will ever be privy to this kind of data (anonymously) in real-time as a way to anticipate and avoid financial loss.

POPSIs this really "Breaking news" worthy? I don't mean to be insensitive - and i'm not saying it shouldn't be amongst the top stories, but CNN currently has the bold yellow "Breaking News" bar on their home page in reference to Ed McMahon dying. Compared to other things going on right now in Iran, North Korea and about 136 other places, i just don't see how this is worthy of the "Breaking News" alert status on the CNN home page.
