The ability for a small North Pole workshop to churn out millions of toys and distributed around the world amazes managers of the most productive factories.

It’s enough for some skeptics and cynics to doubt even the existence of the factory.

But, could it be that this super-secret facility has a secret. And that secret  might just be a Santa Claus machine.

While you might doubt the existence of Santa Claus, the Santa Claus machine is very real and may be one more type of technology that leads humanity–and maybe elves–to the Singularity. A recent blog post shows just how far three-dimensional fabrication has already progressed.

It’s called the season of giving.

It could be called the season of giving yourself a bad credit rating.

Or the season of giving your credit card company extra money.

Or the season of giving yourself a heart attack.

Or the season of giving yourself a stress headache.

Or the season of giving yourself a hangover.

The holiday season has been used as an excuse to over-spend and over-indulge in a number of vices. Fortunately, there are a lot of smart people out there who are willing to pass on their wisdom on how you can have a smart holiday.

The following are some of the best holiday posts and articles that we’ve found.

Enjoy. And Merry Christmas!

It’s the holidays. This is the time that stores expect to make money. Christmas, Hanukkah, and all the holidays are a gold mine for retailers, who often make 15% of their sales this week alone.

When people aren’t shopping, they’re watching TV and learning about the financial crisis around the world. The automakers are complaining about the credit markets. The retailers are complaining about the housing market. The shoppers are worried about the economy. But there is one company that is not complaining about anything.

Amazon.com posted record-breaking sales, and is having its best holiday season ever. How is this possible? When nearly every other company is losing money, and the whole US economy is going straight down, how is it possible that one company can do better than ever? It’s because Amazon.com is committed to finding new ways of making money.

One driver of Amazon’s success is the trend of online shopping. We all know it’s 1,000 times more convenient, faster, easier and cheaper to just buy something online than to actually go out and buy it. And that’s why online shopping is growing at double-digit rates every year, while shopping in stores is going down. So Amazon has positioned itself to ride the trend that makes it easy to succeed.

Another powerful driver for Amazon is in the innovation. From the Kindle to the ever increasing range of goods that it sells, Amazon is always finding new ways of making money. It started as a bookstore. Now, some of the biggest sellers are gaming consoles. If you consider the fact that a gaming console that costs $300 is going to make the company a lot more money than just a book, it’s easy to see how Amazon sales and profits continue to grow.

It’s easy to see their big differences between the average American store and Amazon.com. And, it’s interesting to think about the difference is in strategy as well. What if every company in America used innovation like Amazon does? What would that do for the US economy?

At Online Investing AI, we closely follow the technology that could lead to the Singularity. I now firmly believe that not only is Singularity-type technology possible, I believe it is already being used and manipulated.

This leading-edge research laboratory and think tank is located in a remote location somewhere above Canada (most likely to avoid regulations and high taxes). Basing a facility in this cold, wind-whipped land means the founder has obviously tapped a new energy source–perhaps  fusion, or cold fusion, or really, really cold fusion.

The head of this research laboratory is a world traveler and a specialist in logistics. According to reports, he can deliver goods in all households across the world in a single night. This can only be explained by the mastery of exotic physics that can warp the time-space continuum.

His production facilities are beyond current state-of-the-art technology. His lab can plan and create a infinite amount of products and a diversity of products. Obviously, the group has invented an advanced replication device, or even a technology that can replicate on the atomic and sub-atomic scale.

Nanotechnology–the manipulation of the very small–is said to assist the lab’s robust Singularity technologies. The super-secret nanotechnology projects are carried out by a group within the research department, code named “elves.”

It’s not all good news. Critics have charged this North Pole lab with using singularity technology to violate privacy rights. The lab reportedly keeps tabs on naughty and nice. Google may be involved.

Happy Holidays from Online Investing AI.
