...strippers practice water volleyball for the upcoming $10,000 tournament, women in mermaid tails splash in a tank behind him and go-go dancers cut loose inside a giant clear balloon at the poolside bar, Maloof is approached by a parade of personalities: a guy who wants him to invest in a pizza restaurant; a middle-aged Arab who wants to be reimbursed for part of the $10,000 he just lost in blackjack; a singer who wants Maloof to hear his act; a scary-looking guy who needs to borrow $500 for 24 hours. Not only does...
...more to invest, it's worth your while to shop for a higher yield. Bankrate.com lists rates on money-market accounts, similar to money-market funds but FDIC insured. These bank-based accounts have historically lagged behind money funds' yield by about 1 percentage point, according to money tracker iMoneyNet.

...people is making him smoke even more than usual. Kubera is in a tight spot.

Kim is backing up his tough talk with a strategy to augment the company's design and technology prowess. For instance, LG.Philips announced in March it would invest $22 billion with its suppliers in new flat-screen production facilities over the next 10 years. Kim is recruiting engineers at a furious pace, aiming to increase research-and-development teams to 60% of LG's total payroll by 2005, from 40% today. One recent afternoon at the LG Electronics Corporate Design...
...Destinations to restore your sense of wonder video camera, as well as a hosted Web-logging service like TypePad and, if you want, editing software such as Final Cut Pro or iMovie (the latter is free with most Apple computers). For really spiffy professional results, it makes sense to invest in tools like Serious Magic's Visual Communicator, a TelePrompTer-graphics-backdrop package that provides network-news production values for $199. While millions of text-driven blogs have blossomed worldwide, there are only a couple hundred video blogs out there. To sample some, check out Japanese slacker vlog avoidinglife.com, music...
