mm/dd/yyyy

Whenever filling out an online application The Maltz loves it when it automatically tabs
so you don't have to manually go to the next field. This especially comes in handy for the D.O.B and Address fields. You just type in your information and it moves for you. Love it.

When you're in the middle of a story and you decide to click on a link - isn't it great when after you're done and you click back it takes you to where you were reading and not to the top of the page? This way you don't have to spend an hour scrolling to find where you left off. Love it.

The Maltz wants to know what happened to the age of ice-cream stores? In the last few months alone he's seen 3 stores close down (Mary's Dairy, Cold Stone Creamery, and Häagen-Dazs). To make it worse, it seems as if there is a Yogurt store popping up on every corner faster than Rev. Jesse Jackson can say "I want to cut Obama's nuts out".

One last note, what's with the towels at NYSC and gyms in general - can't they just make them a little bigger?

The cost of dairy is very high forcing ice cream stores to shut down. With respect to cold stone creamery, those are franchised and the franchise grew too big too fast and allowed too many stores to be opened too close to each other. Therefore, they were competing against each other. Also, with the price of gas, people are not liking paying as much for ice cream as they do for a gallon of gas. There was some reports about a month ago about what a poor business model Cold Stone has. I am not sure what is going on with Haagen Daz but the one by us recently closed too.

I sense a violation of the unwritten rules of commenting has occurred here.
