Alwaleed believes the Far East can be hot for at least two decades, but he'll also turn his attention to Africa, which "needs everything." But he says he will not stray from the formula that turned $15,000 into $12 billion. "I would like to be viewed as this investor from the middle of the desert, who comes and adds value to companies," he says. "I get a kick out of finding industries that have spectacular potential.

Midnite Lover does not stray from the typical Shaggy tradition; it works because it is Shaggy, rather than just another Jamaican reggae artist who is attempting to capitalize off of the commercialization of the music...
...with few exceptions--the popular Sidewalk and Internet Gaming Zone sites chief among them--MSN has failed to attract a mass audience. MSN executives have been shocked by how rarely customers stray beyond plain-vanilla E-mail and online access into the premium programming that was supposed to be the network's drawing card. According to an internal memo distributed last spring, the pay area's most popular channel at the time, Daily Disney Blast, was attracting a dismal 6,000 hits a week...
