Last year the Cubs were clearly the best team in baseball and went on to win the World Series (did I ever think I would write that sentence?). This year, the Cubs had almost the same team, but fell short in the NL playoffs as they could only muster 1 playoff win against the LA Dodgers. Many blame a slow start, overconfidence after last year, and many other factors. But could it be they were beaten by sabermetrics? What? Sabermetrics was defined by guru of baseball statistics,

As if the task of purchasing Accounting software wasn't daunting enough, the buyer needs to have a dictionary nearby to easily translate the mountains of acronyms used by Software companies, the media and even other users. Perhaps its a way from dividing up the experienced pros from the newbies, but it can also be very confusing and keep some users away from finding the right software that better that matches its business needs.

That sound you hear is Venti Espresso Lattes being nervously gulped in Hollywood, receiving the latest box office gross disappointments week after week. The word is that box office receipts are off 25% this year, after a boatload of failed reboots, sequels, re-dos and comic book copies. Who knew the nerds at Comic Con would eventually inherit the world? Take for example Sony Picture's "Spiderman" franchise. The same movie is basically remade every 5 years once the teen audien

Your friends and co-workers may tell you they're jealous that you have a cushy desk job, but the truth is that having a desk job using a computer day is no walk in the park.

Here is the definitive answer to that question: It depends. For one thing, you need to determine whether you PC is running a 32 or 64 bit version of the Windows operating system. Fortunately, that's easy to tell: Go to the Windows Explorer, look for "This PC" and right-click and select Properties. The first tab will tell you whether the processor is a 32 or 64 bit processor. If it's 32 bit, then you're good to go. You can open a DOS command shell and copy the program into it,

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell earned a salary last year of $34.1 million, higher than any other NFL player but one. I don't know what he did to earn such a princely sum, since the last time I looked he has never thrown a pass, blocked for a runner or kicked for an extra point. But the minimum you should expect for all that money would be that he keeps the league growing and profitable with an ever expanding customer base. But in reality, I believe his mismanagement and failu

There's no wonder why Mayor Rahm Emanuel have been working overtime submitting their proposal and heralding Chicago's advantages in order to land the new Amazon headquarters. The proposal was submitted this Monday, and a decision by Amazon is expected sometime next year. This is no ordinary corporate expansion; the economic value to the City is staggering. The Chicago Tribune reports that landing this development would bring 50,000 jobs and $7.4 billion in construction-relate
