Eat Pray Love

One funny part I read in Eat Pray Love..

If I love you, you can have everything. You can have my time, my devotion, my ass, my money, my family, my dog, my dog's money, my dog's time -everything. If I love you, I will carry for you all your pain, I will assume for you all your debts (in every definition of the word), I will protect you from your own insecurity, I will project upon you all sorts of good qualities that you never actually cultivated in yourself and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more, until I get so exhausted and depleted...

V

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me "V"

Samsung Galaxy Tab

iPad is not the only choice! Samsung Electronic will launch its first tablet computer, Galaxy Tab in two weeks. Even though the size of Galaxy Tab is 7-inch which is smaller that iPad, but when it comes to pricing, the it doesn’t work the same way. This Samsung Gizmo is forecasted to be marketed around 1,000 Euro in European market (Thomson Reuters, 2010).

Burger King for Sale

At $24 per share, Burger King agreed to sell itself to 3G Capital Investment Firm for $ 3.26 billion which represents a 46 percent of total shares (Thomson Reuters, 2010). Telsey Advisory Group analyst Tom Forte said that the deal is the maximum Burger King can get and no one is going to bid higher. However, TPG, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs who are the major shareholders of BK which is about 31 percent, might also buy back the remaining shares instead of selling them and gambling whether this decision is best for Burger King Inc. (The Economist Newspaper Limited, 2010).

Los Angeles Times (2010) confidently stated that “the restaurant industry is suffering as a whole and will probably remain weak for years to come”, including Burger King whose sales has declined for five consecutive quarters since spring 2009. BK market share has also declined to 13.9% from 14.3% since it first went public in 2006, compared to McDonald’s 48% in 2009.

There are some reasons that make BK left behind. The Associated Press (2010) has identified that Burger King's once-unique concept of flame-broiled burgers is not so special anymore. The high unemployment rate is also a hit for BK. Since BK’s main target is younger males range between 18 and 34 which feel the biggest impact of recession, these young people will look for the best deal and it is not what BK is offering, said Bob Goldin, an analyst at the food consulting firm Technomic Inc. (The huffington Post, Inc., 2010). Beside, McDonald has more menu varieties and is more fashionable such as offering healthy salad menu and breakfast set and McCafe compared to Burger King. Moreover, the lattes, frappes and fruit smoothies are high-profit beverage that makes McDonald looks more appealing in investors’ eyes.
