Does anybody really care anymore?

I sometimes think most Americans are under some “spell” or mass hypnosis
Media has given MUCH attention to all of the illegal activity in our nation; Congress holds hearings; lawyers are screaming – there are some activists – but basically, the system proceeds as usual.

Long Tail Theory

  The future of many companies launching successfully will be based on the theory of the Long Tail which shows that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail. As the costs of production and distribution fall, especially online, there is now less need to lump products and consumers into one-size-fits-all containers. In an era without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distribution, narrowly-target goods and services can be as economically attractive as mainstream fare.

Chevy Volt

I turned in the Chevy Volt to GM yesterday after a week long test drive and review. And I have to say, I don't look forward to going to the gas station today.
