This is the most annoying and possibly dangerous thing about new cars
We've started to notice a theme in many of the new cars and trucks, including SUVs, that we test out here at Business Insider on our Transportation team: confusing automatic-transmission shifters. We're not talking about stick shifts here; those are still, mercifully, relatively straightforward. But the good old park-reverse-neutral-drive setups of old, when you simply moved a shifter up and down, have given way to more elaborate systems. In some cases, such as when the shifter is replaced by buttons, this isn't so bad. But when the shifter is modified to be more of a joystick-type interface, it doesn't always make sense and requires practice to sort out. Sometimes it doesn't get sorted out,

Chaos in the zodiac: Some Virgos are Leos, some Leos are Cancers and some people are now Ophiuchuses — really
There has been a disturbance in the astrological forces. What you think you know about the zodiac may be a lie. The sign you believe you were born under is different, to hear astrology wonks tell it. The dates for the western zodiac calendar have compressed and shifted later by a few weeks: If you were a Virgo born before mid-September, so the story goes, you are a Leo (now Aug. 10 to Sept. 16). Congratulations! There is a thirteenth sign, too — Ophiuchus. People born between Nov. 29 and Dec. 17 are Ophiuchuses. (Your new talents include architecture and snake-bearing.) With all of the chaos in the heavens, one might think that a retrograde Mercury is to blame. But there is no rogue planet at

My company implemented a 5-hour workday — and the results have been astounding
The 9-to-5 grind has created a cult of workaholics. Unfortunately, the 8-hour workday hasn't budged in 100 years. Nevermind that the Information Age represents the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution and that family structures have changed dramatically since the early 1900s. Workers still get in their cars every morning and clog up the freeways and do it again at night. Mondays are dreaded. Wednesdays are "hump days." Friday mornings bring relief because they're the final push before the weekend. The idea that workers are expected to endure 70% of their week so they can enjoy the other 30% is collective insanity.
