Looks like the Economist missed the fifth power, the super efficient Samsung, the company that will destroy Apple technological advantage with its real technology knowhow. Samsung is much bigger in technological knowhow - it is a key supplier to Apple (so they have access to their product plans before the public) - it has several advantages in economies of scale like being market leader in TV sets, smart phones and several key technologies. So if you don't include Samsung as a real challenger you are missing a key part of this war. My guess is that Samsung will be the leader in smart phones, in part thanks to Apple marketing through the legal lawsuits that gave Samsung the status of the most capable competitor to Apple . There is no competitor that can face Samsung, Sony is moving in the direction of bankrupcy, LG has products that are not so well designed, Motorola does not have the proper technology (Google may have to drop this company) to produce at a competitive cost against Samsung. Samsung is a worldclass marketer today.
Information technology and electronic commerce are going to an age of monophony because of deep and increasing dependence on the Internet. More and more business men have realized that Internet is promoting the form of a new emerging market. The competition between these Internet giants reminds me of the price war between major e-commerce companies in China. Enlarging company scale and acquisition becomes the main way for e-commerce companies to form monopoly and improve competitive power. The price war is extremes in result of their fierce competition. I believe that many people have learned a lesson from the price far between major e-commerce companies. That is few consumers can get benefits from monopolies' competition. So it is necessary for antitrust watchdogs and other departments concerned to supervise these Internet giants and take measures carefully.
Part of thing...Android as open platform has early entrant advantage...while ios & icloud seems to have technological advantage....can this technological advantage give apple all time leverage whereas it can put its ios & icloud as open source !...
so soon are we going to see lot of open mobile platform i.e. mozilla,internet explorer,chrome...n not doubt one with highest technological advantage will win...
"Google is the one most under threat. Both the European Commission and America's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have been investigating allegations that it has unfairly manipulated its search results to favour its own services."
What a bad, bad company it is! Don't tell anyone, but I suspect they even think of making profits! But shhhh!
Let's see - Google puts their own services at the top of the search, right? Well, it's Google's page, and no one has said that a consumer of information has to use Google to find anything. They can use Yahoo, Bing, Alta Vista, HotBot, Dog Pile, Ask (Jeeves), AOL and tons more. Because this company has produced software they should be allowed to put their own results near or at the top. Chopped up? No. Note that this is an ad or a Google service in the result? Maybe to sure.
Facebook overtook MySpace because the latter didn't do enough to prevent hackers, spammers and info thieves. They also allowed too much personalization, and I really didn't want to have to wait for someone's music video to load prior to seeing their page if I was on a slower connection. It also helped that Facebook has made constant changes to allow you more control of your information, where anyone who wanted to hookup could see the picture of your 20 year old niece on MySpace, think it was you, and ask if you wanted to hit it. They didn't protect their members like Facebook does. And if Google can give them a run for membership, great. Facebook with do what it needs to improve and update.
Apple recovered from the brink of bankruptcy by giving people what they wanted. A small, niche computer company with less than 3% market share to selling what everyone wanted - a way to carry tons of music without having to change the tape or disc. The same company needed to get those songs to you without having to buy the entire album, so they reached deals with artists and music companies and sell you tons of stuff. Artists, labels, Apple and the public all benefit (if I only like 1 song from the album I only buy 1, not the album for $16.99 at the music store). They then bring out game changing devices - IPhone, IPad, and the Airbook. Tons of companies have great smartphones, tablets and super thin computers. While I'm a PC/Windows person, it is very hard to beat (other than in price) the Apple ease and continuity across their devices. Top it off with what we've seen since the original Buck Rogers - two way video phones (FaceTime) and it's no wonder they are making the money they are.
I don't know a lot about Amazon, so I have no comments there.
All of the information you have, whether it's music, contacts, photos, videos, or anything else (except for applications) can be moved. I can play my music on my IPhone, IPod, my Creative Labs music player, my Windows computer, etc. I can see photos on any PC, play videos on my phone, IPod, computer or TV. My contacts and related info move from my IPhone to my PC. I can store them in Windows Address Book or export them to a multitude of different file types and import them into other programs.
If they're exporting jobs - I've got a problem with it. If their hiring people, great. If one company like Instagram makes a boatload of cash getting purchased (Facebook paid $1 BILLION for it), great - those people made money and will work on the next big thing.
All four companies featured are at their most innovative in legal tax avoidance in the UK.
Should we expect something along the lines of a monopoly-based sector such as energy, where one firm occupies the entire market with permission of the state? That's something to think about.
If we observe the internet, it replicates some of the basics mechanisms present in the capitalism at the early 20th century with lots of enterprises being bought and going bankrupt in no time. I may be overreacting, one can state that's just the same as regular market, but I see a much more wild business ground, like the early 20th century.
I had a chance to ask a question to someone , on when will google overtake apple in market cap , and his response was not too sure what will be the fate of google 10-15 years down the line given the pace of change in technology .If that be the case than may be the issue of competition may have been overdone
Remember when Microsoft muscled out Netscape in the crudest of ways? Then most of the world got stuck on IE 6 for years... until Firefox and later Google fired up the competition once again.
How telling that the former champ is not even in the Economist's "Big Four" any longer.
Computers in all its forms are now so much a part of all our lives -- and still, no one knows how or where the dust will settle. So long as new ideas and new players keep cropping up -- I think the FTC should tread very lightly. I'd rather have the markets determine the final forms than a bunch of bureaucrats in Washington and New York City.
The new age "big four" companies are morphing into digital conglomerates. Each are on a race to deploy the best apps to keep users within their own ecosystem (as we can see by Amazon's recent release of their Map API to developers). The monopolies lie not with any particular service, but rather in the form of an iron grip on the users themselves. If I want to move from Apple-land to Google-land, I should be able to pack up and go. Instead, the process (if there really is one) makes you feel like (what I imagine) a Russian trying to get an U.S. visa during the Cold War. http://www.readenews.com/search/label/BUSINESS
All my Google stuff is readily available on Apple products. Definitely not the other way around.
Innovation is the only survival formula. Even the biggest falls to the ground... look at how fast Nokia, RIM, and HP empires drop so quickly. Each giant has its success formula (google=search, amazon=value, apple=premium experience, fb=social graphs), but if a biz model transformation comes along to disrupt their formula and they fail to innovate, any giant will stumble and fall. Outside the Western world, Samsung is supported by its government. Lenovo is already #1 worldwide in PC passing HP, and in China, it's already #2 in cellphone and moving towards #1. Then, see Huawei and ZTE.
More importantly, all of the giants outlined in the article are all about consumers... consumers are frickle in nature. Mobile device lifespan is less than 2 years. Who leads the platform/device war today could change quickly in 1-2 years, and how important are these battles? Big battles are actually brewing in the mobile enterprise world where there are even more money at stake. Open source, cloud computing, big data, and mobility are changing the economics of application and data delivery and collaboration, putting tremendous pressure on Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, & VMware of the world. In the eyes of busienss cloud services for customers, partners, and employees, devices are just commodities -- whether they are Andorid, iOS, or Windows. Innovative solutions are coming transforming every industry in the coming years. Without innovations, any big giant of today will be left behind.

59Dhwvxb5L: I think you misspelled Xerox once or twice
Technically MIcrosoft contract with IBM, freed other companies to produce hardware for their software "freeing"the market to use Microsoft Software, which allowed companies like Compaq, Dell, HP, Samsung, ... to compete with IBM. (But not compete with Microsoft).
Google is playing the same game with Android. Google is the company that is strategically very well positioned, its services are at this point very difficult to copy. They don't allow any real threat to their strategy emerge. Think about the acquisition of You Tube, You Tube is the type of service that could challenge Google dominance of the user community.
This article is about anticompetitive practices, but does not actually describe what these firms are doing that is actually anticompetitive.
Simply being in a dominant position is not unlawful! If a firm is dominant through legal means that is pereto efficiency in action.
Who would have thought I was reading the "economist" !
You must ABUSE your dominant position to be liable.
The problem is with business patents that let one corporation sue another corporation for rounded corners. I think that most sane people would find that to be rather abusive.
This is a problem with the US patent system; it is not a problem with anti trust law re: abuse of dominant position. Anyone can apply for those patents.
We should be careful where we pin the blame here.
Eureka! I found the solution: Goopple & Amabook, Inc.
Unless the "antitrust watchdogs"...
Or Goopplabook
If Google gets too keen on acquiring firms for kicks, it'll lose margins and start to flounder.
If Facebook alienates its users by making them disclose more than they feel comfortable with, it'll lose users (ie ad revenue).
If Apple stops making best-in-class phones, Microsoft will muscle in.
The only monopolies that are serious problems are state-empowered ones; to regulate firms' sizes or shapes begs the question that the feds know which business models are best (the very notion that Google's Search could be spun off and leave two healthy companies is an excellent example of poor regulation). So long as the opportunity for competition exists, disruptive newcomers can introduce their ideas and unseat tyrants.
Behemoths can fall just fine on their own, as Schumpeter notes about Microsoft, so let them succeed or fail on their own merits, not on the officials' metrics.
"consumers are perfectly willing to trade some openness for convenience and ease-of-use" Many of us are not all that willing but now risk being marginalized socially, economically and politically if we choose to have a truly private private life.
Don't hold out too much hope that anti-trust regulators will do much. To understand how big IT/internet firms can manipulate/bribe regulators to get approval for their acquisitions (aimed at taking out competitors) and policies even when consumers suffer, I can't recommend enough "High-Tech Planet: Secrets of an IT Road Warrior" written by a former Oracle executive who saw it all.
It is a funny and insightful account of how these IT/Software/internet firms operate, with lots of detailed information on how the SEC, the European Union, the US's FTC and other watchdogs are manipulated to acquiesce in their designs. Reading it openedmy eyes and helped me understand what is going on.
Here is my personal anecdotal evidence for why Google will reign supreme:
1. Google innovates at a crazy rate. It seems like every year they have a team of people watching Star Trek and saying "Glasses that have an internet browser in them? Let's do it."
2. As soon as I think they have reached a plateau, they enter a new market, then dominate it. "Self-piloted cars? They aren't in the auto industry." Well they weren't in the phone industry either.
3. They do things right. Disney does things right, too. Some companies don't sell themselves or their consumers short, and then some release an Xbox 360 with HD graphics but don't include an HDMI cable. When I buy into Google, whether it is a search engine or directions from a map or a phone, I know I am getting something of value.
(I told you this was anecdotal evidence, don't get mad at me for being too lazy to find facts).
Google does not innovate.
Google engages in consumer-directed and (young) programmer-directed publicity stunts which are designed to titillate, not innovate.
Android rips off the touch-pinch-stretch innovation manifest in Apple's iPhone, which is the fundamental user-interface breakthrough Apple delivered to the world, enabling handhelds to finally be viable for browsing the web.
Google does have good product management and marketing, but that does not mean innovation.
Google's behavior towards those who pay for its advertising is abusive of antitrust laws, arrogant, condescending, and a real window on the empty soul of that company.
The face which Google puts to the public with its "everything is free! -- including others' copyrighted property!" is very different from the face experienced by their paying customers, partners and competitors.
Some might take the view that Google is the biggest con-artist on the web. And the gushing Google Kool-Aide junkies here are a good testament to Google's skill in conning the non-paying public while abusing the rights of those who do business with and near it.
Wait, how can you con a non-paying public?
I don't follow most of your points. I guess when Google releases a laptop that costs $700 and then charges people $1,000 for the logo on the lid, they'll be okay in your eyes. Oh, no, that would be stealing more strategy from Apple, so I guess not.
If you need me, I'll be drinking more of this Google-Aid I hear so much about. Sugar, ice and cyanide -- what a thing
I'll toast you with my Kool-Aid while our car drives us past that line of 800 people waiting to buy the iPhone and we laugh maniacally.
800 people waiting in line to buy the most expensive smartphone and you're laughing at them? Never under estimate the passion and emotions of seemingly irrational behaviors as they tell something more powerful that few can understand. This is true of concert crowd, protesters, supporters of dictators.
In the grand scheme of things, maybe it's you whom people should be laughing at.
Google ripped off the core innovations in Apple's iPhone (pinch, touch, stretch UI) and gave them away as Android to various phone manufacturers who were desperate to have something with which to counter the iPhone. This is an attempt at identical maneuver to what Microsoft did with IE by giving it away with their OS, and thereby cutting off the air supply of Netscape.
That is dirty pool. Something which comes naturally to Google.
Why does Google do stunts like driverless cars and Google "glasses"? Why? Why do companies like Amazon and Apple actually focus on deliverable products and not do stunts like these? Why does Google make big announcements like "Google health" and then simply pull the plug?
Google has a character defect, and they lack creativity and vision. They are copycats and skilled promoters and marketers. They are not originators of anything except innovative ways of breaking the antitrust laws and acting oh so innocent with the noble motives they always cloak themselves in. Hogwash.
Pinch, touch, stretch UI are "innovations"! What next, Phone with round edges innovation too? Round wheels anyone?
At this rate, Google maps was an innovation which is not being copied by Apple.
Try reading the patents "dark lord".
The level of commentary in this blog seems increasingly amateurish and increasingly rarely based on fact or reasoning.
Emotion seems to have overtaken many's of the Ecommunist editors and their posters here.
One wonders where clear-headed, reality-interested people will go as they exit this waning venue?
Last time I checked, there was an option to use the Google search engine, wait for it.....in Safari. There's nothing comparable with Apple inside Chrome. That is "innovative."
You seem to have dozed off when the Samsung Apple patent case was being discussed in Economist forums. Its pretty clear most of the patents "violated" by Samsung in that case are highly debatable at best.
"Google ripped off the core innovations in Apple's iPhone (pinch, touch, stretch UI) and gave them away as Android to various phone manufacturers who were desperate to have something with which to counter the iPhone. This is an attempt at identical maneuver to what Microsoft did with IE by giving it away with their OS, and thereby cutting off the air supply of Netscape."
A more relevant comparison to MS would be when Apple decided that it will not allow users to use google maps. That is one dirty trick Apple took right out of MS playbook.
Touching, pinching and stretching is not innovation - you could do that with a mouse pointer on any Windows console that tracked finger pressure via umpteen means for years, though only one "finger" at a time. IMHO, the innovation was the technology that allowed multiple touches to be detected on a single interactive surface, allowing multiple parallel points of interaction with on-screen representations (whether the screen is the surface or not). TO my mind, the multi-touch gestures are just an obvious application of that. IMHO, it's the separation of what is truly innovative versus what is obvious extension that causes such problems in the patent world.
Your opinion is well humbled by your flawed reasoning on this topic.
New, useful and non-obvious to one skilled in the art. That is the test and standard of patent law.
Prior to iPhone, can you name a handheld device which enabled such interaction between a user and a full-sized web page? I think not.
If this "extension" was so obvious, why had one of the highly competitive players in the handheld space not made that "obvious" extension?
What Apple did was NEW, USEFUL and NON-OBVIOUS to one skilled in the art, and they reduced it to practice. It is fully and appropriately patentable and protectable under patent law.
Android rips off this innovation, and ought to be facing an injunction against continued use of it and a full product recall. End of story.
Sometimes it seems like Google is positioning itself to rule the world. I'm not sure that I mind, I think they would do a better job running the world than the people in power now!
Google, 2016!
Antitrust is a gigantic waste of resources and useless ciphening of money to lawyers.
Tech is easily switched, badly needs consistency and standards, and the consumer and business population constantly votes with their wallets and feet that too much competition is just confusing. Let them all be, it will sort out much better for everyone.

Buehrle steps up against familiar foe in Texas
Veteran lefty has 21 appearances against Rangers, who start Grimm
If anybody knows what to expect from Toronto starter Mark Buehrle on Friday, it's Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski.
The two were teammates with the White Sox from 2005 to 2011, and Pierzynski probably caught Buehrle more than he has any other pitcher.
"He has always been one of my all-time favorites," Pierzynski said. "He never shakes you off, he takes the ball every fifth day, works fast and gets after them. What makes him good is his pace, his ability to change speeds and his ability to throw four pitches at any time."
Buehrle also knows Texas. The veteran left-hander is 12-5 with a 3.31 ERA in 18 career starts and three relief appearances in his career against the Rangers. That ERA is the second lowest among active pitchers with at least 100 innings pitched against them, and his .706 winning percentage is the fourth best.
"[Buehrle] keeps the pressure on hitters with the way he works and by pounding the strike zone and not being afraid of contact," Pierzynski said. "He has done it for so long, his velocity may be down, but he knows how to pitch and can do a lot of things with the ball."
Buehrle is making this start on an extra day of rest thanks to a recent off-day. He allowed just one run over seven innings in his previous outing but took a no-decision after Casey Janssen blew a save opportunity in the ninth.
Justin Grimm, who is 0-1 with a 14.73 ERA in his last two starts, will take the mound for the Rangers. He allowed four runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays on Sunday, with all four runs -- three of them on a homer -- coming in the third inning.
"I'm just going to do the same things; it worked last time," Grimm said. "I just made one mistake. I wasn't tired at all. I got to rushing a little bit and got wild. I just had to take a step back. I could have gone more, because my arm felt great."
Grimm threw a season-high 107 pitches in the outing.
"He needs to keep the ball down and execute pitches," manager Ron Washington said. "A definite key for him is to keep his curveball down and use his changeup more, and continue to pitch."
As for Pierzynski, he did not start against Buehrle in Toronto and hasn't faced him since 2003. It's unclear if the catcher, who is 8-for-20 against his old friend, will be in the lineup on Friday.
Blue Jays: Gibbons to coach in Midsummer Classic
Manager John Gibbons was named to the American League coaching staff for the All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York on July 16.
"It's a thrill just to get an opportunity in Major League Baseball to go to a game like that," Gibbons said. "Then, to be selected by [Tigers and AL skipper] Jim Leyland, I think the world of him. He's recognized in the baseball world as one of the top ever. His numbers speak for themselves."
• The Blue Jays have signed 16 of their picks from last week's First-Year Player Draft. Twenty-four players remain unsigned.
Rangers: Baker likely to start vs. Buehrle
Expect Jeff Baker in the lineup on Friday. A right-handed hitter, Baker is 17-for-44 with eight home runs against left-handed pitching this season. He has a home run in every 5.50 at-bats against left-handers, which is impressive when you consider the all-time single-season record is held by Mark McGwire, who had a home run in every 5.64 at-bats for Oakland in 1995.
"I'm getting good pitches to hit, and I'm not missing them," Baker said. "I don't look into it, I just go out and play. I don't look at numbers."
• Center fielder Leonys Martin left the Rangers' 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Thursday with a mild left wrist sprain in the eighth inning, an injury sustained while attempting a diving catch.
Worth noting
• Baker, who made his first start at second base for the Rangers on Wednesday, has started at six positions this season, including designated hitter.
• Toronto third baseman Andy LaRoche cleared waivers on Thursday afternoon and has been outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo. He had been designated for assignment on Tuesday.

Dangerous Heater Parts RecalledIn 1997, Cadet Manufacturing in Vancouver, Washington, issued a recall notice on some of its electric in-wall heaters. The heaters contain limit switches that have been identified as a fire hazard by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).Several hundred thousand of the faulty heaters had been installed in houses and apartments in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountain states between 1985 and 1992. A small percentage were sold under the brand name of Encore. Only heater models containing the letters FW, FX, LX, TK, or ZA and containing a limit switch made of black plastic casing and located on the heater assembly are subject to the recall. The switches can be easily replaced in the heaters. For further information, contact Cadet at (800)567-2613 or go to its Web site at www.cadetco.com. --Colleen Turrell

Darvish tries to keep Rangers on Indians' heels
Texas sits one game back of Cleveland for second AL Wild Card
At this point in the season, every game is a must-win for the Rangers. Hoping to play into October, Texas sits one game back of the Indians for the second American League Wild Card spot.
After an impressive 12-0 win over the Astros on Monday night, the team will send stopper Yu Darvish to the hill on Tuesday night in Arlington.
It's the perfect time for Darvish to get the start. He's 3-1 with a 2.73 ERA in four outings against Houston this year. He came within one out of throwing a perfect game against the Astros in his first start of the season, and held the team to one hit while striking out 15 on Aug. 12.
"Like I have always been saying, a game in April is no different than in September," Darvish said. "My job is to do the best I can and pitch the best I can."
The Astros know what is on the line for the Rangers, and they are hoping to have better luck against Darvish this time around.
"We definitely relish the challenge," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "He has great stuff. As time wore on, he's had some good games against us. I think our guys have made good adjustments and we've actually fared a little bit better, but it's going to be a challenge. He's a guy that has his fastball anywhere from 89 to 96 [mph], throws his breaking stuff in any count and he's one of the better pitchers in our league."
It'll be up to Astros right-hander Brad Peacock to match Darvish in what will be his final start of the season. He's gone 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA in his last three starts.
In his previous outing, against the Reds, Peacock allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits in 5 2/3 innings for the no-decision.
In one start against the Rangers earlier this season, Peacock went six innings, allowing just one run on three hits for a no-decision.
Astros: No. 1 pick secured
Houston has officially secured the No. 1 pick in next year's First-Year Player Draft. It makes them the first team to have the top pick three years in a row.
While the pick is now official, Astros scouting director Mike Elias said nothing from a scouting perspective will change because of the team having the first selection.
"We've been approaching the fall season as if we're picking in the top three," Elias said. "We're on the lookout for any players who could be the top first, third or even fifth picks in the country."
North Carolina State left-hander Carlos Rodon, projected as the likely No. 1 pick, is definitely on the Astros' radar.
Rangers: Cruz's playoff status uncertain
General manager John Daniels clarified comments made to USA Today in regards to Nelson Cruz's suspension.
Daniels said Monday the he doesn't blame Cruz for the club's current slump, in which Texas has lost 15 of its last 21 games.
"Ultimately, the decisions he made put him in that position," Daniels said. "I'm certainly not putting any more than that on him."
Daniels said the Rangers still haven't decided whether they will bring Cruz back if they make it to the postseason.
Worth noting
• Lance Berkman is expected to be used only as a pinch-hitter for the Rangers the rest of the regular season. Berkman is still bothered by inflammation in his left hip as well as a chronically sore right knee.
• Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has the fourth-highest batting average in the AL this month at .372 (35-for-94).
• The Astros have lost a season-high 10 games in a row and have 106 losses on the season. The club record is 107 losses in 2012.

Bumble and bumble Creme De Coco Conditioner
Marissa H.HairDark BrownFine or Thin HairVery Moisturizing...but Not Too Much!I have extremely fine hair...made even finer by the birth of my second baby (thank you hormones!!!). There's nothing like the great combo of greasy roots and dry ends! So I've found that I need a moisturizing shampoo/conditioner. Unfortunately, most tend to weigh my hair down terribly...but NOT this one! I only need to wash once and my hair is incredibly smooth and manageable. I live in a very dry climate and above 8000 ft high so this is absolutely incredible! SO don't be worried if you have fine hair!posted May 11, 2011Link to this post
KalenHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairVacation In A BottleI am not sure if it is the conditioner it self I like so much or the smell, but either way it is wonderful. I use this when my hair just needs a little extra moisture with either a clarifying shampoo or B&B seaweed shampoo and it works wonders. A little bit seems to go a long way especially since I do not use it daily. It seems to add just the right amount of moisture so that my hair does not feel weighted down, but is still soft an manageable.posted Jan 28, 2011Link to this post
EmmyTop Notch!I love this product. I have a strange combination of wavy/straight hair and I've never been able to find a conditioner that doesn't weigh it down or make it greasy. So, obviously, since I'm writing this review, the Creme de Coco conditioner does not do either. Instead, it leaves my hair healthy, smooth, shiny, and easy to work with. I think if you're experiencing build up you're probably using too much (you really only need about a dime sized amount) or conditioning your roots, a major hair no no.posted Jun 19, 2010Link to this post
TayaHairNormal HairIts Fake.I keep hearing that maybe creme de cocoa conditioner works on straight hair only on reviews. Well, I have very straight hair. I used this stuff and spent 21$ on it and the first time I used it in the shower, I thought I loved it. My hair was kind of shinier when it dried. THEN...I kept using it and I realized there was a thick build up on my scalp from the shampoo and conditioner. Its like you cant rinse it out, it just stays on your hair and it makes it tangled. I tried everything from combing it out and rinsing it with cold and hot water, I was determined to make the product work with my hair. I was thinking it must be good if it was so expensive! but, after a while I just stopped. I gave up. My hair became dry and dirty. I dont know why...maybe because of the build up? because it doesnt wash out well no matter what? well i dont know..it really does dry out your hair. I was watching a show about hair, and this professional stylist guy said that a lot of shampoos/conditioners are made so that you practically "wear" the shininess of the products for a day, then you wash it out in the shower, then re-apply it when you use it. Its not actually penetrating the hair and fixing any moisture or breakage problems, just concealing them for a few hours or until the next day. SO my advice for everyone and myself, try products that ACTUALLY HELP YOUR HAIR!!! thats where the true beauty will come out; with healthy hair.posted Apr 11, 2010Link to this post
DesireWonderful ProductsI use the Creme de Coco Conditioner and Shampoo. I occasionally use the Super Rich conditioner in combination with the Creme De Coco. I have straight, blonde, processed and dyed hair. After using these products, my hair is left incredibly soft and voluminous and feels healthy even after all the bad treatment my hair receives. I have been loyal to this product for years, and now even my husband uses the stuff. He has curly, dark brown hair, and it makes his loose curls look amazing. My husband also used it the last time he bathed our rottweiler, and she was incredibly shiny and soft afterwards. I love Bumble and Bumble. The use the Tonic after I get out of the shower. The only other hair product I use is Moroccan Oil. The combination of these products leaves my hair looking amazing!posted Mar 3, 2010Link to this post

GinaMN, USA"responsible" Conditioning, Less ChemicalsI turned to B&B Creme De Coco when I quit using products that contained chemical toxins. I love B&B products but wanted a shampoo and conditioner without silicones (Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone). Both of these chemicals act to detangler and defrizzer; however, they are also skin irritants and can cause acne and breakouts. Also, silicones are like a plastic film that will hold moisture in, but also prevents moisture from entering; so if you don't use them right, they can cause drying of hair and skin. 'Coco moisturizes my hair and leaves it shiney and delicious smelling.posted Sep 22, 2009Link to this post
IshaCaliforniaHairCurly HairWaste Of Money! Not Worth It!I have frizzy, curly hair. I never used to have frizz problems until after I use this. I was recommended this the Bumble and Bumble Shampoo & conditioner by my hair stylist. I was told it hols my natural curls, but I expected to hold the curls with a smooth finish, but it gave me a frizzy look. It made my hair a mess. My hair is all tangled, super-frizzy and it is hard for me to comb my hair. I used Pantene for a few years before trying this product and that one gave better results than an expensive brand like this B&B. Don;t buy it if you have frizzy, curly hair. It makes your hair worse.posted Jul 17, 2009Link to this post

Atlanta Braves (83-53)
Andrelton Simmons is arguably the most exciting player on the Braves. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

The Braves added a big arm to their bullpen by calling up veteran right-hander Freddy Garcia from Triple-A.
Boston Red Sox (82-56)
Boston is pulling away with the division bit by bit. (Photo by Winslow Townson/Getty Images)

The Red Sox acquired utility infielder John McDonald and designated reliever Daniel Bard for assignment.
Los Angeles Dodgers (81-55)
Yasiel Puig's situation is getting a little overblown, though the design is to improve him as a player. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)

The amazing run of the Dodgers has brought out their fans en masse, and their attendance has surpassed 3 million fans at Dodger Stadium. It is the 27th time in franchise history and 17th time in the past 18 years.
Detroit Tigers (80-57)
Think Tigers pitchers enjoy having Jose Iglesias around? (Photo by Darren McCollester/Getty Images)

Tigers recalled Octavio Dotel from his rehab assignment, but will not activate him from the disabled list. Instead his will be shut down for the season with a forearm injury.
Pittsburgh Pirates (79-57)
Marlon Byrd doesn't need to continue his incredible season to be an upgrade. (Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)

The Pirates are on the verge of ending a two-decade-long drought of losing seasons, with securing their 81st victory, which would ensure, at the very least, a .500 finish to the season.
St. Louis Cardinals (79-57)
Don't be surprised if John Axford has a big month for the Cardinals. (Photo by Mark Hirsch/Getty Images)

Carlos Beltran remained out of the starting lineup for the second straight day with tightness in his lower back as the team takes on division rival the Reds.
Texas Rangers (79-57)
Yu Darvish is still very good. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

A's catcher John Jaso has been on the disabled list for more than a month with a concussion is still waiting for clearance from the doctors to start his rehab assignment.
Cincinnati Reds (76-61)
It bears repeating that Aroldis Chapman is striking out 15 batters per nine innings. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

On Labor Day the Reds opened a four-game series vs. division rival the Cardinals with a 7-2 win.
Tampa Bay Rays (75-60)
Jeremy Hellickson's demotion is all-around disappointing. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

Rays closer Fernando Rodney blew his eighth save of the season as the Rays gave up a four-run lead en route to a 6-5 loss to the Angels.
New York Yankees (72-64)
One big offseason question: Will Hiroki Kuroda return for another season or head back to Japan? (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

The Yankees missed an opportunity have a three-game sweep of the Orioles when the bullpen gave up seven runs in the seventh inning to lose 7-3 on Sunday.
Cleveland Indians (72-64)
Jason Kubel could add value to the Indians as a platoon player. (Photo by Lisa Blumenfeld/Getty Images)

Indians pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez recorded 10 strikeouts in seven innings against the Braves. But he gave up a three-run home run and the Indians offense could muster more than a run in the loss.
Baltimore Orioles (72-63)
Mike Morse should add right-handed pop to the O's lineup. (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)

The Orioles claimed Twins left fielder Josh Willingham off of waivers last week.
Kansas City Royals (70-66)
Eric Hosmer's having a better season than people realize. (Photo by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images)

Royals called up left-hander Francisley Bueno and catcher Brett Hayes from Triple-A Omaha as the rosters expanded on September 1.
Washington Nationals (69-67)
As bad as Danny Espinosa has been this season, it wouldn't be a shock to see another team take a chance on him. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

The Nationals hit three homers, and shutout the Marlins, 9-0. The series sweep put the Nationals 6 1/2 games behind the Reds for the second Wild Card spot.
Arizona Diamondbacks (69-66)
After all the hoopla, Cody Ross, though injured, has more plate appearances and better numbers than Chris Young. (Photo by Jennifer Stewart/Getty Images)

The D-backs added veteran relievers David Hernandez and Tony Sipp to their embattled bullpen with September call-ups.
Colorado Rockies (65-73)
Michael Cuddyer really bounced back this season. (Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images)

Todd Helton had a big week, first he hit two three-run home runs in a single game then later in the week he hit a double against the Reds for his 2,500th career hit.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (63-72)
Josh Hamilton is playing better lately. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Toronto Blue Jays (62-75)
Josh Johnson's season is over. He'll be an interesting free agent. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)

Despite having a below .500 season, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons received support of general manager Alex Anthopoulos last week and will be returning for the 2014 season.
Philadelphia Phillies (62-75)
Roy Halladay has a month to show teams he can pitch in the majors. (Photo by Brian Garfinkel/Getty Images)

Seattle Mariners (62-74)

San Diego Padres (60-76)
Will the Padres move Nick Hundley this winter? He rebounded after a rough 2012. (Photo by Denis Poroy/Getty Images)

The Padres matched a MLB record this past week by using five different third basemen. The record was set by the Phillies in 1971.
New York Mets (62-73)
The Mets did well to get Dilson Herrera and Victor Black for Marlon Byrd and John Buck. (Photo by Ralph Freso/Getty Images)

Jon Niese gave the Mets a spark and the bullpen some reliefe as he pitched a complete game and shutout their rivals, the Phillies 5-0 at Citi Field.
San Francisco Giants (61-75)
The question of the offseason for the Giants: Will they re-sign Tim Lincecum? (Photo by J. Meric/Getty Images)

Barry Zito remains without a win on the road after losing his Labor Day start against the Padres. Zito is the first pitcher since Omar Daal in 2000 to start a season by losing nine straight road decisions.
Milwaukee Brewers (59-77)
John Axford was a plausible non-tender candidate. (Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images)

 The Brewers acquired relief pitcher Michael Blazek from the Cardinals and will be joining the big league team as they host the Pirates.
Minnesota Twins (59-76)
Oswaldo Arcia has, for the most part, held his own. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

Chicago Cubs (58-78)
Welington Castillo and Dioner Navarro have exceeded expectations. (Photo by David Banks/Getty Images)

Yakima FatCat 6 w/Locks
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Amanda Daley
Got another one
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got a new car so we needed a new rack. We had a Yakima before and new we wanted another one. Great quality, easy to use and set up.
Great Ski Rack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the first roof rack I've ever used, but it's great. I've had up 4 pairs of fat skis and a snowboard on the rack with some creative loading. Install is fairly easy, I can get the rack installed on my crossbars in about 10 minutes. Wind noise overall isn't bad, but at times I've loaded things in a manner that made an awful whistling noise. Best guess is this happened between the plastic caps on either side near the hinges. A quick stop and rearranging of skis and everything was good, but it was LOUD.
Overall the rack does everything it's supposed to how it's supposed to. Wind noise is usually an issue with roof racks, and this one really isn't that bad. I like the decreased frontal area and increased gas mileage that comes with it. I'm averaging ~30 mpg in my 2012 Subaru Impreza right now in combined driving, not bad for everything going on on the roof (car is rated 27 city 36 highway).
Vinny Mauro
Super Nice
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned this rack for a year now and love it. Everything functions as it should... nothing too ground breaking. They hold your skis and boards securely, lock easily... what you'd expect functionally. Call me shallow, but what I love about this particular rack is that they took the extra step of painting (powder coating maybe?) it black. Most roof racks are just that boring raw aluminum finish. That's fine, but all else equal I think having the black racks looks a lot better on most cars. Functional, reliable, good looking... if you need a ski rack to put on top of your car, look no further.
Andrew C
Used HARD all winter. Loved it.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great product. Easy to mount, easy to use. Mounted on a jeep grand Cherokee. Took about 25 minutes to get it set up. Came with two lock keys. Very simple to load skis. I can fit 5 or 6 sets of skis very easily.
Nick J
08 Outback
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
With this rack you don't ever have to worry about equipment in the car. This rack does take a little more effort to install then the video above, but still a fairly easy set up. It's great the rack can tilt for snowboard bindings as well and not thrash the top of the car.
I do not hear any loud wind noise either for from these.
This product hits the mark on every point.

Works perfectly
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Picked one up for my new outback. Install is a little pain solo, but not bad at all with an extra set of hands. Locks work nicely, and buttons are easy to press even with thicker gloves. Holds fat skis like my 110mm waist howitzers, easily. Wind noise isn't too bad, but I only keep it on going to and from the mountain. The mpg decrease isn't horrible either, may be worse if you keep on for longer.

Watch: Adorable Sacramento puppy walks himself
UPDATED 11:17 AM EST Mar 04, 2013
Unlike most pups, Koufax can hold his own leash and walk behind his owner's wheelchair.
Just another example of a loyal best friend showing compassion for their owner.
This footage was captured by the owner's son who tags along as the Golden Retriever puppy carries his own leash in his mouth, while using his little legs to keep up with the owner.
He may not need the leash anymore, but it's still cute to watch.

The cd book was half the cost of the other sites I looked at. We listened to the book on a recent trip and it worked great.
Great end to a great series. I thought the author did a great job keeping the plot moving. I also liked the voice of the reader. I only wish that the book had more detail at the end. In the final moments of the book Katnis is unconscious for a while and many big important conclusive events take place that I wish were expressed in more detail.
Perfect ending to the trilogy!! Great series of books, I loved it.
Overstock handled this purchase beautifully. The item was shipped quickly and in excellent shape when I received it. However, I'm sorely disappointed with the story. The first 2 series of the "Hunger Games" were great. This one is dragging and I find myself now fast forwarding it and finding that not much changed from where it was. Really disappointed in the story.
