Creativity and domain hording

This is an interesting article that I've run across on CNNS' website, this guy's name is Kevin Ham, and he seems to have become one of the leading domain squatters in the world, when I was done reading the article I was amazed at the guys' entrepreneurial creativity and just a little appalled at what he's done since then.

Compared to some in this world I'm a web neophyte and I don't pretend to be anything but, I'm amazed at some of these people and how they're able to take advantage of these situations, in the end though I feel that you should always give back to those that have made you what you are, and this guy seem to be heading In the other direction.

Toyota the efficiency leaders

It looks like Toyota continues to be the leader in efficiency and will hold on to its number one position for this year, overall the Japanese continue to be the leader while the domestic auto makers continue to catch up and close the gap.

GM continues to make the biggest gains while Ford continues to close the gap as well, this only good news with the consumer being the big winner here.

I still feel that a lot of the domestics' problems are perception, and they have to put plenty of energy into changing this, great and innovative product matched with reliability and class leading execution will go a long way towards changing this.

The Japanese have deservedly built up an almost unassailable image with a combination of admittedly great product and fantastic marketing, GM looks to be the leader here, with Ford and Chrysler following.

Things are changing …albeit slowly.
