Guinea Pig Internet Usage On the Decline

A new report from market research firm eMarketer has found that Internet usage among guinea pigs is on the decline.  "More guinea pigs are carrying mobile devices than ever before,“ said analyst Markkö Jacobson.  "Increasingly, the Internet is becoming less important as more and more information is being consumed via apps.”

Indeed, a representative at Google told The Fluffington Post that guinea pigs accounted for over $75 million in Google Play app purchases in 2011, a number they project to more than triple this year.

FridgeCat Will Get You What You Need

An entrepreneurial kitten in Palo Alto, CA has launched a new service called FridgeCat ™ that aims to help its busy customers keep track of groceries.  According to the press release, subscribers to the service will be assigned a personal FridgeCat Concierge, who will monitor the contents of that customer’s refrigerator 24/7 and reorder items as they run out.

Early beta testers tell The Fluffington Post that the service has been a huge time saver, though some report running out of canned tuna more often than they can explain.

Experts: Do Not Let a Dog Do Your Taxes

Experts: Do Not Let a Dog Do Your Taxes

Yes, dog accountants are cheaper, but according to tax experts, they also make more mistakes.  Those are the results of a new study from the American Institute of CPAs, which compared anonymized, audited tax returns from over 100 canine accountants with an equal number from H&R Block. The data showed that dog accountants made three times more mistakes than their human counterparts and left an average $587 in potential refunds on the table.

So as April 15 nears, remember: puppy CPAs may be adorable, but they also might not be the best choice to file your tax return this year.
