Kraft has unveiled a new logo and has changed its URL from kraft.com to Kraftfoodscompany.com. The new URL is clunkier, but won't really make a difference as kraft.com simply...

Michael Phelps screwed up. He doesn't deny it. The question is, will his sponsors buy into his mea culpa? I don't think his fans really care one way or the...
