I've used carbargains in the past and it worked very well. The service is almost identical to CarWoo's but they have been around longer.

The milk and packaged seafood are clearly showing Kroger's brand, so perhaps they quietly struck a deal with Ralphs/Kroger.

I think the the study he is referencing is the 1998 paper by Schmidt & Hunter. We studied it in business school. I couldn't find an actual copy of the paper but these two articles have abstracts of the findings:

They still need to work on their pricing. They have an opportunity to convert quite a few of their non-paying customers if they'd simply offer a plan between 2GB and 50GB.

Kayak's S1 filing has a lot of interesting nuggets of information. The data you're after is on page 29:
2007 Revenues / Net Income: $48M / ($4.36M) 2008 Revenues / Net Income: $112M / $5.1M
Keep in mind they acquired SideStep at the end of 07.

This type of car-buying service is really convenient. When I bought my car a few years ago I used a service called CarBargains and ended up saving around $4k. IIRC CarBargains cost $200 vs CarWoo's $39.

Does anyone know why they haven't implemented the ability to insert good old-fashioned hyperlinks? Links embedded in the text would save some characters in the message and improve legibility.
Re:The Bloom Box: An Energy Breakthrough?

Part of the BusinessWeek article on Bloom from last December discusses emissions: "Though the technology consumes hydrocarbons, Sridhar says, it doesn't involve carbon-releasing combustion, so it emits only about half the greenhouse gases of conventional energy sources."
