I'd love to see a set of stats like that for the british, are the americans really lazier? I don't dare hazard a guess...

Billions? I dont think so

Look,
even if these stats are accurate, other articles (sorry dont have links atm) pointed out that playing solitare / web surfing helped workers clear their heads when working on difficult problems and ended up boosting productivity. Guess there are 2 sides to everything Cool

At the end of the day, the question the boss needs to ask is: Did the work get done on time and was it accurate?

Yea true. If the work is done on time, I don't think the boss cares a hell lot how you did it.
