    Web Technology eBay E-commerce

    eBay said Wednesday that CEO Meg Whitman will step down as president and CEO as of March 31. She will be replaced by John Donahoe, president of eBay's marketplace unit.

    The move was expected as reports leaked out that Whitman was leaving. Donahoe joined eBay in 2005 from Bain & Co. For the last three years, Donahoe has been president of eBay Marketplaces, which represents most of eBay's revenue but is facing slowing growth.

    Donahoe's job: Juice listings and auction growth.

    Meanwhile, eBay promoted Rajiv Dutta, president of PayPal, to executive vice president of eBay. More>>

  • ( ) Your Letters

    Nearly every one of us walks around with a communication device in our pocket and has a desk or laptop device more powerful than the computers of the Apollo missions. Object to change, but fight the actual agent of change.

    American businesses are paying below-minimum wage, or are not taking payroll or Social Security taxes. Immigration happens because they thought it offered them hope of a better life.

    Be valid in your complaints, and don�t use statistics that have been proven false like �Illegal immigrants account for 2,160,000 sex crimes.�

  • ( ) The Diet Industry: A Big Fat Lie

    Like psychic readings and astrology hotlines, the weight-loss industry sells hope to desperate people.

    Americans spend $40 billion a year on weight-loss programs and products. They answer Jenny Craig's enticement to "lose 20 pounds for just $20" ("plus the cost of food") or Trimspa's offer of a seven-day supply of chocolate Hoodia weight-loss supplements for $24.95.

    We buy books and magazines that offer the insightful revelation that we overeat because we're bored. There are publications that promote weight loss via "food combining" or a diet that corresponds to blood type.

    Most offensive are alleged fitness experts who issue such advice as: "Keep your nose out of carrots, bunny. They're full of sugar. Pears, too—pure sugar." Meanwhile, they recommend chemical-laden diet soft drinks and salt-choked low-calorie frozen meals. More>>
