War Horse
From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war—a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history. [...]

Sold VNQ Naked Put

Google gets a +1 for it’s Q2 earnings.
Last night, Larry Page took the lead and delivered really upbeat message to the market but also outlined his role as a more product focused CEO.
Are Baidu and Google Earnings Related?After the close on Thursday, even as traders were marveling at the 13% move after Google announced its earnings triumph, Baidu was also up substantially after hours (2.8%) on no apparent news. This got me wondering whether there was any steady relationship between the two – after all, Baidu is colloquially “the Google of China,” so it isn’t hard to imagine people trading the two stocks similarly.
On the day after Google reported earnings, the returns of the stocks…

Kommentar zu Die Aussichten für Google+ von Tom
Wenn sie alles nutzen, was sie haben (Docs, Talk und sogar die Wave-Technologie) und mit ihren Nutzern (Normales Konto/ iGoogle, Youtube, Talk und vor allem Android) kombinieren, KÖNNTE es tatsächlich der FB-Killer werden. Ich kenne genügend, die FB gerne abschalten, allerdings auch die Funktionen/Kontakte dahinter nicht missen möchten. Und durch die Circles kann Google+ auch eher als General-Netzwerk daherkommen, denn Geschäftskontakte sind bei mir immer noch in XING und würden nie zu FB eingeladen werden, da sie zu schlecht zu trennen sind.
Vodafone Rocks in Punjab !!!!
besides providing excellent coverage and reliable service, vodafone has got some very exciting plans for prepaid users, where aopertors like airtel do not give much option in prepaid segment vodafone has gone ahead and created some very nice prepaid plans. .1) RC 199 = 27000 secs (450 mins) free to any local + national number. Sometimes instead of 27k 33k ie 550 mins are given free. .2) RC 150 = 1500 v2v local minutes Sometimes 1800 mins are given .3) RC 98 = 15000 secs (250 mins) sometimes 19000 secs are given Vodafone has changed the game in favour of the prepaid user, earlier prepaid users never had the option of using the mobile for more period of time as the standard rates where very high, even in 1p/1s pulse 1 minute call comes out to be of Rs.60 ie if you talk for 10 mins you will be charged 6Rs, where as with these recharge options prepaid plans offer more calling value and are also cheaper than postpaid. Way to go Vodafone!!!
