He did not cry when the Chrysler plant next to his home idled two shifts and the rats flooded out from the empty factory and into his neighborhood.
He did not cry when eight houses on his block went up for foreclosure and the value of his property fell into the toilet.

Windows/Mac/Linux: Opera released an alpha version of Opera 10 today, a first step toward the next major release of the popular cross-platform web browser. First and foremost, Opera 10 is looking to offer stiff competition with the blazing rendering engines in the upcoming Firefox release (Tracemonkey) and Google Chrome (V8) with an update to its rendering engine, Presto—which Opera claims offers a 30% speed boost over the previous version of the engine.

If you're anything like me, your idea of a fine way to spend a wintry Saturday or Sunday afternoon is curled up with a great design book. Let it snow, let it blow -- who cares? I'm perfectly content with a lush, coffee-table-worthy volume filled with colorful images of houses, rooms and gardens. I devour the text, too. This season, it's raining decor books from top-notch interior designers, magazines and style gurus. Here's a look at some of my favorites.

Whether they had a tie to the auto industry or not, many saw the shutout of a bailout as more than just a misguided decision by lawmakers to leave Michigan's largest employers out in the cold amid the worst economic downturn in decades.
