Your bank might be literally tracking all your purchases and using that info to PROFIT! JPMorgan Chase has just launched a media business that'll let advertisers target the massive financial institution's eighty million customers - with info MINED from purchases they've made using their Chase accounts! So, for example, a pet food company could advertise exclusively to people who've made transactions at PetSmart. Or an airline could offer a discount exclusively to people who'd previously bought tickets on a DIFFERENT airline. It sounds a lot like an invasion of privacy and a risk to your personal data, but Chase says none of the users' data is actually SHARED with the advertisers. The ads will only be seen on Chase's app and website, so it's just Chase USING the data to target who sees what. We all know free-to-use things like search engines and social media sites make money by letting companies advertise to us. But is it okay for a BANK to make money off its fee-paying customers this way?

This one's for all you fans of comics out there. A collector just paid one-point-eight-two-five MILLION dollars for a single comic book! Okay, not just ANY comic book. It was the legendary 1939 Detective Comics #27 - with the very first appearance of Batman! In its story, "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate", we meet Commissioner Gordon and wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne. Enjoy a gritty, fight-filled murder mystery with the brand new caped crusader, and of course get the reveal of "The Bat-Man"'s secret identity! Not only is "#27" old and important, it's RARE! Only about a hundred copies are left in existence. And only EIGHT unrestored copies are graded the same as or better than this one. The price was a record for the edition, and made a tidy profit for the seller, who paid one-point-seven million for it less than two years ago! Here's a question for you: Comics, trading cards, action figures, whatever - if you had unlimited money, what collectible would YOU most want to own?

If you enjoy an egg or two for breakfast, then listen up! BIRD FLU has been found in the US, and experts have a warning for all you Egg lovers! Firstly, some context, multiple states are struggling with outbreaks of the H5N1 virus, otherwise known as Bird Flu. Until recently it was thought to only infect poultry but cases of cattle being infected have also surfaced recently. Not only that but it was just confirmed that a Texas dairy farmer caught the virus recently, making him only the 2nd person in the U.S. to have caught the H5N1 virus. And this virus is serious business, with a mortality rate of about 60%. Ok so back to the warning about eggs. The U.S.D.A. says that the disease, quote, "cannot be transmitted through safely handled and properly-cooked eggs". And by "properly-cooked" eggs, they mean FULLY cooked to an internal temperature of a hundred and sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit. In other words, no more liquid yolks. So no sunny-side up, no poached, and not even over-easy! The recommendations say you should stick to hard-boiled and scrambled. And for the "safely handled" part? That means keeping them in the fridge at forty degrees or lower, trashing any with cracked or dirty shells, and thoroughly washing your hands, utensils, and surfaces after any contact with raw eggs. So what do you guys think about this? Is it going to change your egg-eating habits?
