I was in the Sox clubhouse on Thursday with WEEI.com and one thing stuck out at me — Clay Buchholz playing Plants vs. Zombies on the leather couch on his iPad. Having played Plants vs. Zombies for hours on my friend’s magical device, I can understand the...

Good businesses make money in the margins. Think about a restaurant. Think about a medium-rare filet mignon with potatoes gratin, sautéed broccolini, horseradish cream and port reduction that costs 28 dollars. Sure, that gets you in the door but it is not where the...
