Older Workers Age DiscriminationI read an article recently about people who are in their fifties looking for work that get passed up because of their age. Employers are choosing the younger workers over the older potential applicants even though this practice of ageism is illegal.

Domain TastingIf you are unfamiliar with the term “domain tasting” than this is the post or article will help shed some light on the subject.

In my review about my Epson Stylus CX5000 multi-function printer I had mentioned about buying Epson compatible Inkjet cartridges from 123inkjets.com for substantially lower price than the genuine Epson inkjet cartridges and that the quality of the printing was close to using the genuine Epson ink.
