The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Earnings from Microsoft or Amgen

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

• Earnings from Microsoft (MSFT)...the software firm best known for its Windows operating system and Xbox game console posted better-than-expected earnings and the stock is seeing a slight lift in early trading...
• Earnings from Amgen (AMGN)...while this may be one of the best known biotech firms the company wasn't able to hit expectations...the stock is currently down a little more than three percent...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - Scientist develops caffeinated doughnuts...yes, the title pretty much sums it up - a molecular scientist in North Carolina has "developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste of caffeine"...
