The discussion of statistics being weird is valid. In my blog post in June on the ADA update, I pointed it out as well. After a lot of digging on veterans and U.S. govt websites, I couldn't find a resolution. I'll paste below the relevant part of my blog because I can't actually link to it. (sorry). BEGIN BLOG POST EXERPT: "Regarding disabled American veterans, a 2007 Census report said that there are 6.1 million veterans with a disability, with about 3.5 million of them over 65 years of age. However, according to the Associated Press, the number of DAVs has increased 25% (to 2.9 million) since 2001, because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Newegg Defies New York Sales Tax Law

JagsLive informs us that the electronics retailer Newegg.com is defying New York lawmakers; it has suddenly stopped collecting sales tax from New York online shoppers. The "Amazon tax," which went into effect June 1, requires online merchants to collect sales tax if they have any affiliates in the state.

Newegg started out complying with the law on June 1, but stopped collecting taxes for New York on August 21.

The rain inspired shoppers to holiday plans and new summer wardrobes which saw online sales in the clothing, footwear and accessories sector grow by 22.8% for July.

Sunbelt Software, meanwhile, whose CounterSpy product remains one of the undoubted leaders in the anti-spyware arena, took the more arduous path of developing its own scanning engine to cover the wider range of malicious code. The long-awaited VIPRE (Virus Intrusion Prevention and Recognition Engine) is the fruit of the company's labours.
