...East at Credit Suisse First Boston in London, who downgraded EADS stock to "underperform" last week, thinks the company will cancel the €8 billion A350 program altogether. It's all a huge change from the triumphalism at Airbus headquarters - and European capitals - two years ago, when the firm outsold Boeing for the first time. Back then, Airbus was hailed as a uniquely European archetype for competing in heavy industries. After all, no single country in Europe has the resources to develop a world-beating aircraft manufacturer on its own. The core notion of cooperation is still valid, says James...
...movement's renaissance has infuriated a number of prominent pastors, theologians and commentators. Fellow megapastor Rick Warren, whose book The Purpose Driven Life has outsold Osteen's by a ratio of 7 to 1, finds the very basis of Prosperity laughable. "This idea that God wants everybody to be wealthy?", he snorts. "There is a word for that: baloney. It's creating a false idol. You don't measure your self-worth by your net worth. I can show you millions of faithful followers of Christ who live in poverty. Why isn't everyone in the church a millionaire...
...that Ford is more dependent on sales of large pickup trucks than its rivals. Fully 30 % of Ford's sales are in the pickup segment, while pickups account for only 22% of General Motors Corp, sales, 14% of the Chrysler Group sales and only 5% sales at Toyota, which outsold Ford in total vehicle sales for the first time ever in July."It's not that our sales are down more than anybody else's. Actually they're not. But they whole segment is down and it hurts us more,"says Pipas, who notes the decline in April when gasoline...
...Hammett, Chandler and James M. Cain all wrote novels that were turned into A pictures (respectively, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep and Double Indemnity) that still play well today. Spillane, who outsold them all, and I mean all together, should have got some sharp films made from his work, through his power or the law of averages. But the very elements that made him a hot property on the paperback market - the sex and violence - made him too hot for '50s Hollywood. If the studio bosses didn't exactly blacklist Spillane, they didn't rush to film his books...
...annual profits on the delay of the group's latest album. All the more irritating, then, that Crazy Frog's Axel F, mixing the theme tune from the Beverly Hills Cop movie with an infuriating mobile-phone ring tone - think two-stroke scooters voiced by an animated frog - outsold Coldplay's single fourfold last week, according to music retailer HMV. Exploiting the Crazy Frog's appeal (the ring tone is sold across Europe, the U.S. and Australia), the track looks set to top the British singles chart this week, a first for a ring tone. That "might be a little...
