In this episode, we explore the (relatively) modern concept of a Black Friday.  No, not the Black Friday that crashed the gold market, and no, not the one that caused traffic congestion in Philadelphia 75 years ago.  As you guessed, it’s the Black Friday that you’ve come to associate with tramplings at Walmart, cheap flat-screen TVs, and Furbies.  How did it start, where did it come from, and how’s it doin’?  

But first, Intel kicks off its new CEO search in a (feeble?) attempt to right the ship.  It’s almost time to add your Bunny Men to your collection of pets.com mascots and “Be Kind, Please Rewind” stickers.  :-(
