I believe this house was also used in Romeo Must Die, with the final fight sequence taking place outside in the large outdoor area.

Realistically speaking, the stock price is not necessarily reflective of the underlying assets, namely the business operations themselves.

Peter seems to be blaming Citibank, et al. for the massive imbalances between intrinsic value and perceived value in the marketplace.

Is it the fault of Citibank and its management that Mark-to-Market applications on a dead market have "lost billions".

Unrealized losses are not real losses, but accounting losses. These same losses will turn into record annualized profits when there is revaluation of the asset class. The cashflow from operations will unfortunately still be the same as ever.

Stop blaming CEOs and their bonuses for global market forces acting irrationally and/or irresponsibly.

Insurance companies failed to evaluate risk appropriately, ratings companies failed in their analysis of underlying value and risk, and people placed too much faith in both by purchasing fundamentally weak CDOs on the basis that their insurance would kick in if it went pear shaped.

Those same shareholders would sue executive management for not buying into the CDO market if they didn't "see the opportunity" that was (apparently) sufficiently hedged and insured

Let them keep their bonuses and their pay.

It is the problem of shareholders doing business to step up and change the conditions of employment and bonuses.

Don't blame the management for doing what they were contracted and obligated to do. If there was clear violation of law or severe abuse of position for personal benefit...then go bananas on them.

Does this mean that losers with no friends are condemned to dead cellphone batteries?

Damn it! I just bought one...I am sheep.

I don't even have an Air...


Damn this marketing machine!

We're talking about the frickin ZUNE and suckage! Not the damn iPhone. Seeing as it hasn't even been RELEASED yet, it is a little premature to be bashing the product. Once it is out, bash away!

Well then, there is no need for me to ever explore this gadget subject again! Master Jedi Dan knows from EXPERIENCE that [all] Toshiba Hardware Sucks!

This is the kind of thing that gets my goat, you get someone who presumably has a problem with a couple pieces of hardware, and the next thing, IT SUCKS!!11!

"Trust me, I know from experience" That's really funny....coming from a dude who calls himself Master Jedi Dan.

Anti-Toshiba fanboys, Anti-apple fanboys, Anti-Microsoft fanboys....you're all a bunch of little whinging bitches. How about assessing individual products on their MERITS (or lack thereof) as opposed to some reactionary pseudo anti-consumerist rhetoric, or better still, an immature brand attachment that marketing firms would murder children for, in order to be able to bottle it and sell it.

The manufacturing companies just laugh and count their Yen/Yuan/Dollars. And so they should.

Man, I need a coffee or something.

Burberry had this problem in the UK whith their previous (now discontinued baseball cap) being adopted by the group known as "chavs"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav

It seems that the company is now distancing itself from that image (especially after discontinuing the baseball cap in particular). So I don't think it will be problem
with Balenciaga, unless you find the social image the brand is attempting to maintain being abused by the social class of customers. Being in the news for turning up to rehab is a distinctive of the
media class, and if the media class are the focus/intended customer base of the brand...this can only help them.

As an Aussie, future F6 owner, living in Australia I could think of nothing worse than ruining a Tornado, a Pursuit or a Super Pursuit with AWD kit. I understand the need to ferry stuff around like Snowboards and the like...I say buy snowchains. Aussies like hanging the arse end out in these things. We don't have Mustangs or Camaros, the closest we have is the Monaro which is out of production at the moment.

So please don't ruin our drift experience with a crappy AWD "snowfield safe" experience. Aussies ARE different to Americans. We don't have anywhere NEAR the amount of snow that Americans do.

I for one, welcome our grammatically incorrect Nazi overlords.

Internets' is appropriate, as the "internets" being referred to (as a logical corollary to "tubes") should be in the plural genitive usage.

So stop being a bunch of pansies.

Way to ruin a pun, Mr. Grammar-Nazi.

I agree with Rahul, Apple need to sic their lawyers onto this one, and order the damn building razed to the ground once it is completed. Those that build this place, deserve to lose their money.
