GM to merge Zeta, Sigma platforms
2008-05-06 07:33:00 GM to merge Zeta, Sigma platforms In order to cut cost, General Motors will merge the rear-wheel drive Zeta and Sigma platforms, a new report finds. The Zeta platform currently underpins the Pontiac G8 and the upcoming Chevrolet Camaro, while the Sigma platform is exclusively used for the Cadillac brand (CTS, SRX and STS). According to Motor Trend, the first car to bow on the merged platform will be the 2011 Cadillac STS/DTS replacement. Following that car's launch, the new platform will underpin several other models. Despite the semi-revival of the rear-wheel drive car, don't expect the Chevrolet Impala to make the switch from its current front-wheel drive setup. Although the Impala shares the sales floor with the hot-selling Malibu sedan, it continues to be one of Chevrolet's top sellers. Instead, the Impala will likely move to the Epsilon II platform that will underpin the next-generation Buick LaCrosse. However, a rear-wheel drive Chevy sedan is not complete...

Hollywould?s tortoiseshell ?Diane? platforms
2008-04-14 11:00:00 Hollywould's tortoiseshell 'Diane' platforms I'm not sure quite what it is about shoes which have a contrasting coloured platform sole, but I'm a complete sucker for them. These tortoise 'Diane' platforms by Hollywould make themselves even more desirable by using a shiny gold for the sole and a tortoiseshell upper. Tortoiseshell was fairly popular about a year or so ago, but it's becoming less common again now, so these make a nice difference from all of the other platforms around at the moment, although I would personally have preferred an almond toe rather than a square one. They're $495.

Forex Online Trading Platforms
2008-03-16 06:56:00 Forex Online Trading PlatformsBy: Andrew Daigle Unlike the stock market, the Forex market is generally an unregulated market with no central location for trading. Traders use the services of a Forex broker to participate in the market. In the U.S., legitimate Forex brokers are registered with one of the various regulatory agencies. If you are new to Forex trading systems, you must be careful to seek a registered broker and avoid off-exchange currency dealers and the scams that have evolved around the Forex market.

Online platforms provide Forex trading systems with less costly trades and better accuracy in the pricing of currency pairs than conventional trading systems.Technological advances in computers and the Internet are responsible to create a market of online Forex trading opportunities.

Nine West?s wood soled ?Tutti? platforms look a little dangerous?
2008-03-06 13:09:00 Nine West's wood soled 'Tutti' platforms look a little dangerous... I have to hold my hands up here and confess that I'm not a fan of square toes at the best of times, so I'm perhaps a little biased here, but these 'Tutti' platforms from Nine West take square toes to a whole new level, and not one I think I want to explore. The toe on these somehow manages to look pointed and square at the same time, and I'm not sure why, but these have a slightly dangerous look to them, like some new kind of weapon. The wooden sole and metallic leather gets a thumbs up, however, even if the toes don't. These will be available from March 27th, for $89.

Which Online Advertising Platforms Should You Include in Your Marketing Mix
2008-02-12 17:59:00 I often write about online marketing, as many of my regular readers know. A frequent topic of mine is Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising, also known as Cost-Per-Click (CPC). Occasionally, people will refer to this marketing vehicle as Search Engine Advertising. What you're hearing this called more and more is "Google Adwords".HAS GOOGLE ADWORDS "BECOME" ONLINE ADVERTISING?Of course, its kind of like asking for a "Coke" when you want a soft drink, or "Scotch Tape" when you are seeking sticky-backed tape. It's the age old story of a brand DEFINING the category itself, and usually happens when a product becomes dominant in a market segment.The conventional wisdom these days is that Google has basically won the Online Search Engine-based advertising wars, so don't even bother with any of the other advertising platforms out there. This topic is the very reason for Microsoft's recent offer to buy Yahoo for a gazillion dollars; they are motivated to do this because Google is so far ahead ...

GlassBooth deciphers presidential platforms
2008-01-03 21:36:00 GlassBooth is a Web app that will quiz you on your values, and then select the perfect presidential candidate for you based on his or her public positions on the issues. It's not the only site that compares issues across candidates (see also CNET co-founder Shelby Bonnie's PoliticalBase, and Minnesota Public Radio's Select a Candidate), but I find it the best of the bunch, for a few reasons. Take this quiz. First, candidate finder quizzes like this need to measure two things from users: what their issues are, and how important each issue is to them. GlassBooth splits this process into two clean parts. In the first, you assign points to the issues that matter to you. In the second, you define your positions. Other quizzes put the issues and importance questions on top of each other, which can make them confusing and tedious. Second, GlassBooth appears to be backed by good research. It shows you the data it has on each of the candidates and their issues, and will link you di... |
