Dollar’s Doom Puts a Face on New $1 Million Bill
Commentary by David Reilly

*** begin quote ***

Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) — Forty years ago, the U.S. government said the $100 bill would be the highest-denomination note. With the Federal Reserve now trying to print its way out of the financial crisis, it may be time to revisit that decision.

Guess we’ll need trillion dollar notes like Zimbabwe!

FUN: My father is a civil servant

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are.

The first one says:”Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow”.

The second one says:”Ha! You think that’s fast! My father is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet”.

The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says:”You two know nothing about fast. My father is a civil servant. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45!!”

TECHNOLOGY: QIPIT down

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Thanks for signing up for the Qipit online service, the company that specializes in high quality mobile copy solutions. We are making a change in the focus of the company toward the development of smart phone applications and technology for the enterprise. In fact, our first application Qipit White, is available now for the iPhone, with more applications and platforms to follow. Starting this past Wednesday (October 21, 2009), the Qipit online mobile copy service stopped accepting new user registrations.

What this means to you?

As an existing user, you can still use the service as normal until November 9, 2009, at which time the ability to create new copies (using Web upload, our facebook applications, Shozu, copy@qipit.com, and color@qipit.com) and to share (by sending faxes and emails) will be discontinued. On December 6, 2009, the service will be completely taken offline. We encourage users to download all of the information you would like to keep, prior to this date. After the service is taken offline, your information will no longer be available.

As we say goodbye to Qipit the online service, Qipit will live on in a series of smart phone applications and as a technology for the enterprise. Back in September we launched our first smart phone application, Qipit White, for the iPhone, it shares much of the same functionality of the online service, but works much faster! We will continue to support Qipit White and future applications based on the technology behind Qipit for the iPhone, Android and other smart phone platforms. Be sure to keep an eye on http://www.qipit.com and the Qipit Blog for the latest news on new applications.

You can read more about the changes at Qipit at our blog. Please feel free to share your thoughts and farewells to the Qipit online service.

Many thanks,

~ the Qipit team
