A roundup of today’s CNNMoney news:
A spike in small-business hiring: Companies with fewer than 50 workers added 117,000 jobs in December. That’s the biggest monthly surge in almost five years. And companies that have fewer than 500 workers added 261,000 new positions, according to payroll processor ADP.
Boehner targets House spending: Last year, the House shelled out almost $190,000 for bottled water during the first quarter. During the same period, members also spent $10.2 million on mail and $6.4 million on travel. New House Speaker John Boehner wants to cut lawmakers' office budgets by 5%, which is only $35 million, but he says you have to start somewhere.
3-D TVs without glasses (video): Can’t get to the Consumer Electronics Show but want to know what techies are talking about? How about a 3-D TV that you don’t need to buy glasses to watch? Toshiba has one, and you’ll be able to buy your own by the end of the year. If you can’t wait that long, you’ll be able to get your hands on a 3-D laptop this summer. Are they any good? Watch our preview.
Holiday 2010 winners and losers: 2010 was one of the best holiday seasons retailers have seen in years, with shoppers hitting Macy’s, Kohl’s, Ann Taylor, Gap, Apple and Target. But with gas prices above $3 a gallon, consumers might take a breather and regroup after the holiday marathon.
Shopping for a new car? You might want to consider a Ford: The brand is getting high marks from consumers. Toyota is still No. 1, but Ford is nipping at its heels, according to Consumer Reports.

how long till they have 3-d you know what...
What?
some 3d 34dd's.
There is a website that has experimented with the 3d "you know what"! They have about 10 videos posted as an experiment... and its freakn awesome. Go to tube8 with the dot com and they have a tab called 3d
I'm not sure I want to see a money shot in 3D.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT!!!
Wow...a 3D TV that don't require those goofy glasses. Imagine Godzilla in 3D. Notice they don't indicate a price? There's a reason for that. Toshiba, just so you know, the wife and I can't even afford an a newer HDMI widescreen TV. We got a 52" RCA , with a converter box like a lot of others. Now that the market is flooded and demand is shorter, so are the prices, (exceeding $4,000, just a few years ago). I will bet, by years end, the new 3D FAD (all it is), is going to cost well over $10,000 each one. You could better bide your time in cheaper green energy for the avereage household to impress someone!
If Dodge would only bring back the power wagon they would give Ford some real competion.
Notwithstanding Dodge sales were better then Fords last quarter.
Not true, last year Ford was the #2 volumn brand in the U.S. and not to Dodge.
Just what we need. A big gas sucking beast.
We sell Fiestas that get 40 mpg, Focus that get 35, and Fusions that get 33. Go ford!
they need to make a hemi cuda.
hey dont knock it the best gas guzzler I've owened was an SUX 6000 with a Blaupunkt
Dirk Diggler was from Boggie Nights possibly.
Funny with Burt Reykjavik.
Yes Blaupuncts are very nice cars. Owned one myself in the 50's. Similar to a Harmon Kardon.
Gene Sperling works at the Fed and will be Mr. President Obama's new chief economic advisor.
This bodes well for the American people who desire unsurpased and unrefutiatable wealth.
A rising tide lifts all boats and Mr. Sperling is nothing if not a rising tide or at least a breath of fresh air in an administration of constant stagnant sameness.
The transmission for the new Buick Regal is made in China.
Think about it.
Erm, no, it's not! where do you get your facts?
regal is basically the opel insignia.
This raises a complex and interesting series of possibilities. With potentially adverse negative cascading effects.
Did the Chinese in effect bail out General Motors.
The popular notion is that the U.S. Taxpayers bailed out G.M.
Is it possible that the lower rates traunches of debt the Chinese held in American mortgage securities were traded for a piece of G.M.
This could have only been possible with slieght of hand, aquessence available to a major trading house and Fed official.
And for this reason will probably remain a mystery.
For the answers don't ask Jeeves. Go instead to PBS.org
Where are those guys I was arguing with on here the other day that kept saying that 3-D TV would die because they would never be able to develop technology to get rid of those glasses? Where are you? I wish to place my hands on my hips and say, "ah ha ha ha haaa!"
Those guys are still inside your head. They have just stopped arguing for the moment.
Oh. Thank God. Was worried.
