Wanna be a millionaire ? "Sell Tomato"
2008-06-05 19:33:00 A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. 'You are employed' he said.

'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job.' The man left with no hope at all.

Australian retailers to dump Xbox 360?
2008-04-07 01:39:00 A new survey conducted by ChannelNews and SmartHouse of 10 retail chains who operate more than 2,000 stores across Australia has revealed that the Xbox 360 is "on the skids," as the retailers see growth coming mainly from the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.

Sector Snap: Jewelry Retailers Decline
2008-03-31 03:52:00 From Yahoo Biz.Jewelry retailers fell on Friday, after an analyst downgraded two companies amid a difficult economic environment.Consumers are cutting back on big-ticket items such as jewelry as they face rising food and gas costs and weak credit and housing markets. In addition, precious metal prices have increased sharply in recent months.Merrill Lynch analyst Lorraine Maikis cut her ratings for Tiffany & Co. and Blue Nile to "Sell" from "Neutral."It was the second downgrade in a week for Tiffany, which on Monday reported strong fourth-quarter results and raised 2008 earnings guidance.On Tuesday, however, Oppenheimer analyst Roxanne Meyer said the increase in guidance was largely due to an accounting change and downgraded the company to "Perform" from "Outperform.""We think quarter-to-date U.S. comp trends could easily turn south, and are concerned that a second-half rebound in the U.S. luxury market will be tough in light of turmoil in financial markets and workforce reductio...

Is it illegal or would it infringe on any copyrights if I use the retailers product images and product descriptions on my own site if I reference the source?
