    If you think you are having flashbacks every now and then, you are right. So are manufacturers, who grab onto every advantage—even a dubious one—to make their products stand out in a crowded marketplace. Thus, Ford pulls the 500 badge and revives Taurus.

    Every wonder what happens to the 10 people a year who die mid-flight? Well, if you're flying British Airways you get the final upgrade. Corpses fly first class. From Times Online:

    Now that AOL's dissolved their call centers and gone free, we certainly hope that all billing issues customers have been wrestling with have been resolved. In particular, their habit of continuing to bill the dead. More »
