3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Image
The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution? Punitive Fines Add caption First of all, any implementation will definitely cost money, a lot of money.

You've all probably heard by now that Steve Jobs has retired as CEO of Apple. In a tribute to the retirement of the two most innovative founders of the computer industry, I've pulled up some video of a history interview with the two giants in the industry.

In this part of the video, Bill Gates was asked if he was using a tablet device. Steve Jobs starts swivelling his chair and biting his lip. He eventually said that the PC has been a resilent device. Now that we have the iPad, it's amazing to see how much Steve Jobs was trying to hide the fact they were already working on the iPad.
