That's why I said "metaphorically". I had a feeling that Apple now has factories in China, and not here, because of costs. But the same point also applies to tech firms like HP, and Dell who has factories here. They are producing a lot of laptops, and desktops but as long as their researchers...

Oh please, its one thing to admire, and another thing to stare and salivate. We don't even know what really happened, and yet, we are so quick to judge and make such insensitive remarks.

Until the local SMEs, and local(and future local) entrepreneurs are given the rocket fuel to fly, there won't be much chance of any breakthrough in cutting-edge technology. Even current MNCs were once SMEs, restricted to their home countries. If our own, and future ones are given the corporate...

:D At first I did think you were actually being serious. Then I realise you were being ironic subtly- a bit like Colbert. Cheers mate. :D;):cool:

For that huge outlay, you would have expected more jobs being created than just 2k. If you do the maths, 250,000,000/2000 is $125,000 per job. Are they trying to hire Nobel laureates cum rocket scientists to do a bureaucrat's job?

I wouldn't comment about the associates one opposition leader would want to rely on and hang out with. He has the right to choose whom he wants to be with. In the end, its the people's vote that is the best test around, and we all know what has happened back in 2006, the last time this...

Oh btw in the second last line, I should have typed in shouldn't, not should. It is a typo error on my part, and I should have checked. I'm sorry for the error and for any misunderstandings.

SPH is just applying the blindfolds- like just what they usually do as 'reporters'. Nothing in this poll results suggest anything that is surprising. I mean, its pretty obvious to most government insiders that having a poll in a recession year is bad for them politically. What other reason they...

I don't agree with the behaviour of the guys. As for the NUS handling of it, well, it is, obvious, up to the NUS authorities to decide, and if they want to keep it internal, and not turn it over to the cops(after all, it happened in the campus, and not in H-V), then its up to them to decide...

They just want us to come back underneath the umbrella; they know this brain drain does nothing for the country in the long run. The problem is that when you offend these folks personally and/or politically, and had deliberately shut them out during the good years, they are more unlikely to...

They seriously thought they were in a Mardi Gras street parade, is it? Oh for Pete's sake....NUS isn't an angmoh university; and neither are our laws. They should consider themselves lucky that its only an internal investigation. If they had transferred the case to the police, they won't just...

The problem is that they don't even know the market conditions in which they operate. They don't even know how to manage competition, and that there's a massive downturn which will affect how countries manage the issue of real estate bubble growth after this recession is over- for a very long...

The Democrats won't take it too kindly that our country has a stake in Citibank. In any way, I don't think Citibank will become a trouble-free asset anytime; it will be a trouble-prone, trouble-riddled liability for months, years to come, even possible. And as for Sen. Selby saying that the...

To say that Indians caused every trouble that led us to this financial crisis is not just disturbing but also a sign that we are taking the easy way out in blaming everyone else, but not ourselves or all those, irrespective of race or origin, for it. Let's face it. The guys who started it...

Reminds me- for better or worse- of that infamous zipping scene in "Something About Mary". It was...words cannot describe it...but it was funny at that time though. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Xuah8LC-Cw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param...

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/business/story/0,28124,25148380-36375,00.html The Australian, owned by News Corp in the US, has something to say about GIC and its tough choices in regards to Citibank.

To comment about her commenting about sex is to dignify her op-ed subject and herself. Something that I do not wish to do at all.

I think I have had just watched an SAF ad in print in this forum. :confused::(;)

One of MM's legacy is to watch too much CNBC's talking parrots and then proclaim that there's a great Golden Period at hand in 2007. <style type='text/css'>.cc_box a:hover .cc_home{background:url('http://www.comedycentral.com/comedycentral/video/assets/syndicated-logo-over.png')...
