Today’s world is filled with the threat of terror. The media would have you believe that your next door neighbor or closest friend could be the next threat. In the vast majority of cases that simply isn’t true. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of living next door to Osama Bin Laden.

Why is that? Sure we have domestic terrorists here in the US but the majority of the problem is coming from countries foreign to us. Those countries have one thing in common.  Poverty.  Growing up with next to nothing the youth of these countries turn to violence and acts of desperation.

In case you don’t already know, the bailout is a joke… on you. Thus far none of the $350 million Congress has released has gone home owners. Although that shouldn’t be a surprise when you consider the man who is running the bailout program, Henry Paulson, worked on Wall Street before coming to Washington. He has made it a priority to make sure his cronies on Wall Street got their fill at the US tax payers expense.

Want some of that bailout money? Too bad you’re not a bank cause the form to request the money is ridiculously simple.  Just two pages that you need to fill out, see for yourself: Bailout Application

The United Nations estimates that over 500,000 people have been killed in the Darfur conflict.  In comparison Saddam Hussein is accused of killing approximately 300,000 Iraqi Nationals, Kurds, and Shias during his time in power.  Both reprehensible.  Yet here we are today occupying Iraq while more or less nothing has been done to help the people in Darfur.  If the United States truly is out to help those in need then why has it focused on the oil rich country of Iraq rather than impoverished country of Sudan?

If the US didn’t want Saddam Hussein in power then why support him for so long?  In all likelihood he wouldn’t even still be in power if it weren’t for the United States’ assistance.  We used to sell them weapons left and right when they were fighting Iran.  Back then he was our buddy and we didn’t seem to mind him gassing the Kurds.  In fact here is Saddam shaking hands with former Bush Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.  Video Here

In case you missed it a company called Citrix announced it is working on bringing a “Citrix Receiver” to the iPhone. What does that mean to you and me? Well with the Citrix Receiver you would be able to host almost any windows application on your server and have it pop right up on your iPhone. All the horsepower to run the application is provided by your server and the iPhone serves up the visual end of it. This will certainly help Apple penetrate further into the business sector which has been dominated by the RIM Blackberry line up until now.  It also means that the software library for the iPhone could be expanding enourmously through this method.

While remote desktop and VNC implementations have been available for both the iPhone and Blackberry for some time now this new software could be a game changer. Citrix will allow enterprises to put their desktop applications into the palm of their workforces hand… literally. Imagine being able to use the full version of Microsoft Office or your companies proprietary software anytime you need to just by reaching into your pocket.  The possibilities for increasing work force productivity are astounding.

Over the past century there has been a discernible shift in the way we invest in companies here in the US. Gone are the days when people invested in companies for the long haul. Short term investing has increased almost exponentially in the past decade or so with the rise of Internet trading. Just about anyone these days can sit down at a computer and start trading within a few minutes or so. A few minutes later they can sell their first trade back and attempt to profit on that spread.

Companies traded on Wall Street have become very attuned to this fact and have shifted their business models to generating as much short term return as possible at the expense of long term stability, customer service, and long term growth. This has help lead the economy to the point where it is on the edge of collapse.
