 Was having my usual morning flick through the financial press when I came across this story in the NY Times Dealbook about a Chinese rogue trader who was sentenced to death for losing £10m in gold trading. YES – you read it right – Sentenced to Death! 30-year-old Wang Caipang, who must first serve [...]  At 2pm we had 40 million IP addresses, so based on a rate of about one million addresses every six hours being consumed, we will run out in about 234 hours or Wednesday 2nd February 2010. But is it Y2K all over again??? [...] After the disaster that was Wall St 2 : Money Never Sleeps (…well maybe not a disater, bust certainly a chick flick…) HBO has announced it cast for it’s upcoming financial crisis movie “Too Big to Fail”. [...] Each year the Macquarie guys post their “Melbourne Cup Quant Research” for all us poor mugs that can’t read a form guide, but can dissect equity research… [...] Labour has a get out of jail free card on this one…if they say “No, we have a deal with BHP Billiton Ltd, Rio Tinto Ltd and Xstrata and if you (the Greens) don’t agree it won’t go into place at all” then they have indirectly delivered a victory to the Liberal party…so this is what they’ll to do… [...] This is one of those stories that are sometimes hard to believe…but then again…so I head over to cnet news. Sure enough – “IBM: We distributed malware-ridden USB drives” at an Australian security conference. There is that old rule that says IF IT CAN HAPPEN IT MOST PROBABLY WILL… [...] I was 9 years old when “Pakkuman”, or Pac-man as most of us know it, was first released in Japan on May 22, 1980 by Namco. And to celebrate this landmark you can head over to google.com for a fully playable version of the most famous video game in the world. [...] Protecting privacy starts with the user and not the social network. But it also provides the most competitive playing field any social network can compete on [...] The question is why be silly enough to commission the review if politically you have no intention of accepting any of the risks that may go with implementing any of the changes. Clearly this is the reason why the Government sat on the report for so long – they had a read of what they asked for and decided that the monster they had created could cost them their jobs – but how to release it? [...] The video tells the story…it’s about a dancing nut…but I think it makes a very interesting statement when it comes to start ups and entrepreneurship. You see it’s about being different, having your own leadership style, and allows you, the “lone nut”, to become the leader. [...] |
