not for japan. in the big picture they are not a huge player in chinese manufacturing, but by contrast china is one of their biggest consumer market. US was #1 china #2 not sure if that flipped now. Cars, electronics, and appliances. It will cripple japan if chinese banned japan goods from...

i would wait until tomorrow's open to see what the price action is. This thing always pop at the open, then trails off but not today! just kept running higher.

in china you just do it and get it done, no bullshit. People living in the area? Pay double the price and move everyone out in a week. Local government agency dragging their feet? the guy no longer works there tomorrow. If beijin says done, it gets done. In the us, you got to get 100 levels...

can any moron just pay and become an ET sponsor? stick to what you know - peddling those consulting scams instead of spewing drivel on a country you know nothing of.

the only competition to oracle are sybase and ibm udb, oracle is still the market leader by far and has ALWAYS been the preferred database choice. There no hundreds of companies coming out with their own database, the only new one is microsoft ms sql which is still a joke. IBM is a...

I dont know why you included china in this, it makes no sense.

i am not talking short term, and there is nothing wrong with only be in the commercial space, but the problem with rimm is their only product - blackberry is getting leapfrogged by far better solutions from apple/android. Unlike consumer who can just get up and buy a new phone, it will take...

corporate america still uses blackberry, when they do make the switch to iphone or android smartphones that will be the end of rimm. It will fall into the void just like nokia did. Their most recent product - the touchscreen blackberry is a step in the right direction, but still far behind...

Anyone excited about the playstation3 move? I thought it was gimmicky crap just like the wii, but after seeing the demo i am a believer. It really is true 1:1 mapping, very impressive. Have it on preorder from amazon.com they have the delivery-date shipment, so should be here on friday! Can...

deuce bigalow male gigolo? heh Then show your woman the annual p&l and tell her "honey, if you learn this shit, you can buy your own gucci and prada instead of finding some old guy when i am gone"

Paulson should never let lehman fail, it was the single biggest mistake in the financial crisis, on top of taxpayer money wasted, the reputational damages and overall us financial system took a major hit that will take decades to recover. Lehman was basically handed over to the foreign firms...
