Ever Wonder What $206M in Cash Looks Like?
Before Sudafed (and other such medicatinons) changed the formula (to something less effective), meth lab people were buying and stealing it in large quantities. When the US cracked down on it, Mexico became the largest producer of it – and thus, the Mexican traffickers of it got rich beyond belief.
Thus, most of the bills there are 100s. From a decongestant that was sold over-the-counter a year ago.
The Samsung SGH-F700
This is one seriously sexy phone. Besides having 7.2 Mbps HSPDA capability and a 5.0 Megapixel camera built-in, it looks sexy. So far, we know that it will be a tri-band device (900 / 1800 / 1900 Mhz GSM, EDGE and HSPDA). No love for Verizon subscribers like me. 
Crack Dealers Could Learn From Walgreens
I knew that pharmaceutical companies are a racket, but I man, I had no idea that resellers are almost as worse. Check out this little juicy nibble from the Freakonomics Blog:
So Wolf began snooping around and found that two chains, Costco and Sam’s Club, sold generics at prices far, far below the other chains. Even once you factor in the cost of buying a membership at Costco and Sam’s Club, the price differences were astounding. Here are the prices he found at Houston stores for 90 tablets of generic Prozac:
Walgreens: $117
Eckerd: $115
CVS: $115
Sam’s Club: $15
Costco: $12
Those aren’t typos. Walgreens charges $117 for a bottle of the same pills for which Costco charges $12.
