Live from Bentonville, Wal-Mart's annual shareholder meeting

I'm watching live coverage of Wal-Mart's annual shareholder meeting here.

American Idol's Taylor Hicks as well as Beyonce are slated to perform at the meeting. However, as you can see in my prior post, I was up late last night--I just woke up. So I might've missed them.

But their performances will be available here around 1pm EDT.

Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott is speaking now. He mentioned Chicago's soon-to-be-opened West Side store, something I blogged about here, as well as what I found out was one of Wal-Mart's "experimental stores," in the Chicago suburb of Evergreen Park.

I blogged about that as well, and Scott mentioned the 24,000 people who applied for the 300 jobs at that location.
