  • Hard News: Something up with Apple?,

    Gonna be a large number of apple retailers busy repricing things this morning to compete with these new price points.
    I guess it is all coming out of renaissance's previous margin.

  • Island Life: How to smoke an MP,

    Given that Matt Robson is to be hauled before the Privileges Committee in regard to comments made in an email newsletter posted publically on the voting of Peter Dunne on certain legislation in regard to the liquor and Tobacco industry
    Speaker Wilson on Robson's newsletter

    David, You might want to keep a closer eye on comments than usual on this issue.

    Grouting in the bathroom included :)

  • Hard News: Citizen Key II: The High…,

    But hasn't Key made his money through share trading? In which case, apart from his own dealing business, has not managed a business with the usual production/profit margins/debtors/creditors etc. His business consisted mainly of putting money in the right places, buying and selling t o maximise return etc.

    He was head of global foreign exchange operations for Merrill Lynch, so a bit higher up the tree than a trader, so I suspect that he was required to run "his" division, and thus would have been aware of things like profit margins, debtors/creditors, staff relations etc and how they all impact on the divisions profitability.

  • Island Life: All stadium, all the time,

    I still believe that a CBD-edge site should have been chosen if at all possible, but it looks like it never would have been a goer from an engineering or financial point of view.

    Spoken like a true architect :)

    Now it is up to Trev to make a decision and stand by it, but without the ARC and presumably the port Co, I think he has no choice but to go back to the eden park proposal.

  • Hard News: Something up with Apple?,

    Maybe we're getting a proper Apple presence as well. Apple.co.nz dns info was changed today. It is now registered to Apple Australia as well, the same people that bought itunes.co.nz

    curiouser and curiouser,

  • OnPoint: Send in the lawyers (+NGA),

    I guess the remaining question is whether he hangs around as a back-bench list MP, or goes completly allowing the next on the list to step in.
