The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Black Friday Sales or the Beatles

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

• A drop in same-store sales for Wal-Mart Stores (WMT)...this is the first monthly drop in ten years...
• Early results and expectation for Black Friday sales...
• Another take on Black Friday results...
• A move by Apple Computer (APPL) to become the exclusive online music store for the Beatles catalog...
• A look into [subscription required] a network of informants that hedge funds use to obtain "behind the scenes" info on companies and industries...
• Details behind the dollar's drop against the Euro and Pound that pressured stock futures Friday morning...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - ‘Yours Truly,' the E-Variations...wow - I had no idea people spent that much energy trying to decipher what the sign-off on an e-mail "really" means...going forward I guess I should stop signing my work emails with "XOXOXO"???
