Ryanair has pushed the model to its extremes and by setting fares as low as 99p for flights and charging extra for almost everything, has passed responsibility for covering the cost of every aspect of a flight to the customer. Such transparency means a flight from London Stansted to Perugia in late September costs £2.99, but once you have paid for booking online (£5) and taxes (£28.27) the price rises to £36.26. Add priority boarding (£3) and two bags in the hold (£30) and the cost is £69.26, one way. - Santosh Puthran

The environment enables a multitude of media that can interact within a wave or be embedded, such as text, photos, videos, maps, gadgets, bots and more.

From the page: "Women, Testosterone, and Finance Hormones, not sexism, explain why fewer women than men work in banks. Economist Staff - The Economist That the risk-taking end of the financial industry is dominated by men is unarguable. But does it discriminate against women merely because they are women? Well, it might. But a piece of research just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Paola Sapienza of Northwestern University, near Chicago, suggests an alternative - that it is not a person's sex, per se, that is the basis for discrimination, but the level of his or her testosterone. Besides being a sex hormone, testosterone also governs appetite for risk. Control for an individual's testosterone levels and, at least in America, the perceived sexism vanishes" - Santosh Puthran

The worst offender, because it is so widely deployed, is Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. For Paul Caplin, founder and CEO of the real-time Web-based financial services software firm Caplin systems, the best that can be said about Internet Explorer 6 is that it forces developers to really tune their applications to get what speed they can from it. Even IE 8 lags behind the main competitors; Apple's Safari is four times faster than the latest Microsoft version, he said." - Santosh Puthran

From the page: "The conventional wisdom of academic investment theorists is taking a terrible beating in the post-bubble era. Rightly so, in the case of the efficient market theory, which now gives rise to growing scepticism. The notion that stocks follow a random walk and all available information is in the price has always looked suspect in the light of history, which repeatedly tells us that Homo economicus is not the rational man of the economists†musings and that markets are prone to periodic bubbles. In its strongest form it even attributes the success of investors such as Warren Buffett and Fidelityâ€s Anthony Bolton to pure luck, which to my mind is too strong by half. " - Santosh Puthran
