Cnet's AppleByte visited Woz at the dance studio as he practiced for Dancing with the Stars. You see a lot more there than on the show. - Mop Mar 2, 10:30

I think some people here use Foxmarks in Firefox; apparently it's changing to Xmarks and expanding. -- (link) - LoraxSean Mar 2, 10:22

- Mine's tungsten and I love it. -- nm - Shaun Mar 2, 10:27 1

      - SM is on his 3rd -he lost one, replaced it with something different and then found a $ 20 he liked better at Hot Topic - Pippy Jokester Mar 2, 10:29

speaking of 401ks, i'm thinking about putting an additional 10 - 12% into mine. do we think it's a bad time? stupid? -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:14 7
- You have to look at this two ways... -- nm - ceregon Mar 2, 10:23 3
  - Second, what you do with it (how you invest) is extremely important. - ceregon Mar 2, 10:25 1
    - thx for the food for thought. -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:38
  - First, increasing your contribution increases your employer match and decreases your taxes, so that's a good thing. -- nm - ceregon Mar 2, 10:23
- I recently upped my contributions. Are you getting a match from your employer that would make it worthwhile? -- nm - Jelly Mar 2, 10:15 2
  - match up to 6%. i am already contributing enough to get the max match. -- nm - kare Mar 2, 10:16 1
    - It's still not a bad idea. Cheap prices + tax-deductible. - Jelly Mar 2, 10:19

  - [deleted]
  - yeah, because i'm so long term, i am just leaving the stuff that's plummeted in the higher-risk funds, figuring it'll go back up in 20-30 years. - kare Mar 2, 10:09 1
    - If it doesn't go back up over the next 20-40 years then I figure I've got much bigger problems to worry about than my retirement account. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 2, 10:19
- it's pretty sad. down probably 20% overall. putting 70% of new contributions into bonds now. - kare Mar 2, 10:07 1
  - i would have been worse off, but i got a loan in dec. 07 and took out a huge sum then - kare Mar 2, 10:10
- Moving sideways.....put most of it in money market / bond funds after losin 30% in 4th qtr 08. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 10:07

- I began contributing in November, and last I checked it was up about 5 percent -- nm - con_carne Mar 2, 10:05 1
  - Of course, last I checked was about a month ago :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 2, 10:11
- No...I have not looked...nothing I can do but remind myself that while it is dropping, that only means each paycheck buys more shares now than before - The Rememer the Alamo Coalition Mar 2, 10:04 3
  - That's the spirit, think of all you could make if it dropped to zero! -- nm - Loyola Mar 2, 10:07 2
    - I buy INFINITY shares! -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 10:13

- Does the "popcorn" actually taste like cauliflower? -- nm - kelly Mar 2, 09:57 1
  - well, it tastes more like cauliflower than popcorn. mostly it tastes like the spices you put on it. plus it carmelizes a little. -- nm - kare Mar 2, 09:58
