Is there a ripple effect?

IIPM BEST MBA INSTITUTE

While the real estate boom in India is just beginning to lose some semblance of sanity, the market in the US is in the middle of a decline, after having spiraled ridiculously out of control in the recent past. Mittal of Triveni comments on the situation in the US, “Nationally, the overall outlook seems reasonable: 7% appreciation for 2006 and fl at for 2007. According to the forecast, a third of the nation’s 100 largest metro areas (accounting for 60% of US population) are expected to see modestly falling house prices.”

Around the year 2000, the US Fed had softened its monetary policy considerably in order to boost the economy. This resulted in a massive diversion of funds to the real estate sector, with heavy borrowing from banks. Later on, in the light of the bubble that developed, the Fed went on rate hike spree, increasing interest rates for 16 times in a row. The drop has hit hard. US home building stocks have fallen by over 50% from their peaks in the last two years.

If history is to be believed, PS3 has great chances against all odds...

MANAGEMENT GURU

How about a free high-definition television and a Hummer ride back home as freebies on a PlayStation3 (PS3) purchase? Awesome it is, but that’s what customers of PS3 got in the UK! But was it an obligation for lack of substantial upgradation on the part of PS3?

Looking at price, PS3 is tagged between $500-$600. Expensive? Yes, when compared to Microsoft ’s Xbox 360 (priced between $300-$400) & Nintendo Wii ($250). But if you weren’t someone who’d ignore quality for price, then here’s more. On the technological front, PS3, with Blu-Ray, Wi-Fi & 60GB HDD, is far ahead of its competitors Xbox 360 (with just 20 GB capacity) and Wii (a mere 512 MB). And now you’d ask – why Blu-Ray? Surely, where we have a gadget that can download videos, we’d desire greater storage – precisely why Blu-Ray is desired, which uses a shorter wavelength laser beam; therefore enabling storage of more data within a given space as compared to the normal ‘red’ laser with longer wavelength used by Xbox 360.

Casting a brutal yet beautiful spell

MANAGEMENT GURU

Flooded by awards from all over, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón sure wouldn’t mind claiming the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film and maybe a few more, for after all it is up for 6 Oscars in all! Pan’s Labyrinth teeters between the horrors of reality and the even more horrifying fantasies. The Spanish film is about a girl Ofelia, played by Ivana Baquero, who digs deep into her fairy tales as her mother falls ill and eventually dies in labour, leaving her to the care of the very incarnation of evil– her stepfather. And while grappling with life’s travesties, she discovers an ancient labyrinth where she meets Pan, a faun played by Doug Jones, who helps her return to netherworld where she was once a princess! A story captivating and chilling in equal measures, it deserves the award as it shows Hollywood the way to new heights of creative brilliance.
