The U.S. House of Representatives will likely pass Rep. Paul Kanjorski's (D., Pa.) break-'em-up bill, which calls for regulators to split dangerously big and financially complex companies into safer pieces, so they don't have to be bailed out like American International Group Inc. or General Motors Corp.

But along came Velvet ( www.velvetmagazine.gr ), a free monthly first published...

We're ecstatic about the fact that we now have Maker Shed kiosks, with magazines, books, and electronics kits, in several California Fry's stores . We think this is big news, not only for Maker Media, but for all indie makers -- a major retail chain is now giving small kit-makers this level of exposure. And, we think it's particularly cool that we designed and built these kiosks in-house, and even...

Don't take alcohol if you know they don't drink. Don't take...
