...growth driver over the last couple of years has been notebooks, and that's not changing. There's a shift from desktops to notebooks, and a shift within notebooks to come down in price as volume expands. Both of those trends are very good for us. We have entered a new class of notebook machines called netbooks, which are small machines with 10-inch screens. You don't use them for content creation, but they are great for simple things like surfing the net and e-mail. And they're taking off. They're at great price points...
...businesses that went away bought a lot of our products. Not just Herman Miller chairs, but also racks of servers and laptops and stuff. For a long time, throughout most of 2001, you could buy a lot of surplus servers on eBay for a third or tenth of the price. So there was a clear artificial bubble in terms of sales that got dissipated over the subsequent years. I don't see that same phenomenon in this crisis particularly. The servers that were at Bank A, which is no longer a stand-alone bank, are still running all the transactions...

The most obvious of these is the plummeting price of oil, from $147 to less than $65 per bbl. since July, rendering regional investors increasingly cautious as they dial down their expectations of untold wealth. And a global recession is likely to tighten the belts of the foreign investors and vacationers who have driven demand for Dubai's real estate and tourism developments...
...last time I checked we had 15 uses,” said ITS support staff member Fegens Alexis. Brainard said that the pilot program was set up in order to work out the details of the service on a smaller scale before making it available in other libraries. The price of printing, for example, was listed online at seven cents per page for the last week. But when librarians were notified that it costs five cents per page to print at the Science Center, the price of printing in Lamont was also lowered to five cents. “This...
