WHOOSH!

Memo to world: We are in a worldwide economic depression, you just don't know it yet.

... all the hype and glitter spewed out but this site and others is not enough to convince people they need dozen core processors, 27 TB drives, new cases to replace ones not worn out, and all the other options that are always a must have?

Maybe people have finally realized they just don't need the latest new-fangled things.

Techy World better be looking at the sudden "success" of GM and other big care makers. You just don't need a new $40,000 vehicle every two years to run around town and apparently the gamer's appetite for the fastest and biggest is just not pulling the load. Not that it ever did.

"People are often surprised to learn that Tarot cards were originally invented for playing games, that such games are still widespread and popular in continental Europe, and that the employment of tarots for divination and fortune-telling is a relatively recent perversion of their proper use, dating only from the eighteenth century.”(The Penguin Encyclopedia of Card Games, by David Parlett)

It would be a good thing if the media would stop treating tarot cards as if they were meant to be used for prediction. They were really made for card games!
