Another bit of good news :
Carriers in scrum over iPhone Deconsolidation is always a good thing for the market. It cuts up the market, so if we don't like the part we eat, we can always go elsewhere. Too bad for the executives. Perhaps they will think more about marketing than acquisitions from now onwards.

What Sarkozy fears is a remake of the 2002 presidential election, when Le Pen came second in the first round with 17% of the votes. The Front National gets most of it from "protest votes" (i.e. people who don't actually support the FN but want to make a case) so it has no chance of winning the second round. However with Sarkozy's current unpopularity, he might not even make it to the second round himself. Not to mention there are some other candidates in the right and left who are popular enough to pose a challenge. |

What's to explain? Well, to give a bit of context:
- one of the things that make the proles rage the most is that shareholders gorge themselves on profit, dividends and so on, while the workers get their salaries frozen, or they get outright fired for "economic reasons"... "Negotiations" (with or without strikes) never seem to work out somehow. IIRC, forcing companies to share profits equally between dividends, investments, and employees was one of his campaign promises. (Which makes me kinda surprised he's even trying...) - it's not done. It wouldn't be the first time he backs off, and even if it does pass... it concerns a vanishingly small amount of employees. Impossible. She may well get into the second round, but she'll still lose. |

Racism cames in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
It doesn't matter if it's White on Black or Black on White, it's still wrong. Violence in another Mc Donalds almost kills customer http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ec0_1303444048 The idiot with the camera ought to be charged as an accessory to attempted murder for not helping the victim, laughing about her seizure, and encouraging the assailants. That guy was really pissing me off with his comments.

At Least 75 Killed in Deadliest Day of Syrian Uprising
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/04...#ixzz1KHsLKRDd I should probably emphasize that were not talking "total" since the riots started. we're talking only about TODAY. Do you think the UN might do something about this ... like "express concern" over it ?

Intervention only occured in Libya after the government started using Planes and artillery, and even then only after it descended into Civil War and the army was at the gates of the rebel stronghold.
The question is how the Syrian government will behave. On the one hand, Libya will probably embolden the authorities, on the other hand they might want to avert the out and out civil war that's afflicted Libya, particularly because they're much more vulnerable to several hostile neighbours (Israel in particular). |

George Takei to Hollywood: “Quit Whitewashing Anime”
"Actor George Takei (aka “the guy who played Sulu from Star Trek”) has spoken
critically of Hollywood’s penchant for taking Asian film, manga and anime and recasting everyone with white actors, citing the upcoming and thoroughly purified Akira as a particularly egregious example." See: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2011/0...washing-anime/ |

My world history professor in university waaaay back in 1976 had essentially this same opinion of China ... its like its own planet. It literally doesn't *need* the world though it certainly knows how to siphon off good ideas when it needs them. It has closed the doors before and its leadership I imagine still thinks that is always an option. As for the corporations "invested" in China... I keep waiting for the other half of that "you'll sell us the shovels we'll bury you with".
