Flickr is so screwed up it has become near unusable. I said it when they allowed the videos to be uploaded; they do not have enough up-to-date servers nor enough bandwidth for the short movies. It has become increasingly worse over the past year as Yahoo looks for someone to bail them out. I would hate to be the person in charge of their network!

General Motors is wanting to shed itself of the Pontiac brand. I can remember when the top three brands in order were:
Failure to change with the times has all but doomed GM. In most cases Ford—and in some cases Dodge—has overhauled them in quality, innovation, and sales. Are you old enough to remember when the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was "the car" to be seen in if you were young and could not afford a Corvette? I suppose the 1977 movie Smokey and the Bandit had a lot to do with its popularity.
Looks like we taxpayers are going to be stuck with nearly all of GM's putrid stock; c'est la vie!
Oh, yeah; the company is going to lay off 21,000 workers and other people.

GM is so screwed up it is amazing. By the time this whole thing is done they will be a shell of themselves. They should keep Cadillac as the marquee brand then merge all the other brands under one name all slash all the weak selling models. There is no reason at this time to have Chevy, GM and Buick as seperate brands. All that branding seems to be a waste of money at this point in time.
A lot of geezers seem to like Buicks and are still buying them; maybe they could make Buick a sub-model of the Caddy. GMC trucks should be merged with Chevy trucks.
