If there’s something you’ll certainly do at the Gold Coast, it would be to spoil yourself with choices…. What with the vast 
stretches of languid beaches, the Hinterland Mountains, the lush green rainforest, world-class golfing greens and some of the world-famous theme parks! And that’s exactly what Gold Coast is all about – just about everything under the Sun! Where on the one hand there are surfing boards and sands that beckon, there are tranquil woods endlessly enticing you with their quaint charm on the other. So, as you land on the 6th largest city in Australia that has more water canals than Venice, be wary of its beauty… for it may leave you hypnotised for ever! Although with a year round balmy climate, there’s no best time to visit the place, but November-December is recommended nevertheless, owing to moderate precipitation and (it goes without mention) the summer Christmas! Not just that, the Gold Coast plays host to exciting events, shopping festivals and wildlife excursions all year round… and is home to the largest sub-tropical rainforest remnant in the world, more than 100,000 ha of nature reserves and World Heritage sites! So without further delay, pack your bags and brace yourself for perhaps the most exciting sojourn Down Under – the Gold Coast… an indulgence retreat for sure, if nothing more!

are huge inequities in the world. Even better-off citizens in most of the developing world face worse opportunities than the poor in rich countries. The fact that the country of birth is a key determinant of people’s opportunities runs counter to our view of equity.” Whatever the WB thinks of equity, it is at best only half-true. A close scrutiny will clearly exemplify that inequality has helped less developed nations to achieve economic growth and prosperity. Had it not been for the fact of inequality of income and cost of living, none of the billions of dollars of investments that has been pouring in China and India for over a decade now would have come. It is because of the relative backwardness and the consequent low cost that inspired the Western world to outsource most of its IT related work and production to India. It not only has helped India climb up the ladder faster than otherwise but also allowed it the leeway of time and energy to learn from such technology and business models to develop its own version of multinational companies. All this, thanks to the sheer inequality that existed, and is still existing between the First and the Third World. After all, even water doesn’t flow from a waterfall unless there’s difference in altitude. Hail inequality at times.
features FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 connections and will be available in 320 GB, 500 GB & 750 GB capacities.

Then there are storage disks like LaCie’s Brick desktop hard drives, which are not only high on capacity, but are available in red, white & blue, and can be stacked one atop the other for a fun and decorative touch. Pexagon’s Store-IT hard drive will also offer an EZ-Touch One Button Backup system with Retrospect Express software, which allows file transfer and backup from one or more computers with press of button.
not sitting idle either. So what’s Intel’s answer to AMD’s claim to fame? Well, the chip-maker will soon become the first to enter into commercial production of the ‘45-nanometer’ technology (also called the ‘Nehlahem’ architecture) which is by far the most dramatic act in the production of semiconductors in four decades; giving birth to faster chips that would consume lesser power and reduce production costs as well. So, how does AMD respond to this rebound from Intel’s court? “We also plan to begin producing chips on the 45-nanometer process by 2008,” retorts Vamsi. And if that happens, the ‘Puma’ will have a unique power feature which will allow its users to run a discrete graphics card when powered from the main switch and an integrated one when on-battery power. Moreover, graphics will get better which will also give the system a completely a new look as Vamsi confidently adds, “Our design will be focussed on performance deliver per watt. AMD is the smart choice across all segments in the industry.” Clearly, the new offerings from AMD will have more performance and efficiency advantage over the previous offerings but Intel with its virtual dominance of the sector (with a 76% market share in semiconductor chips during Q3 2007, as compared to AMD’s 26%) will not allow any other chip maker to take the lead in developing a new technology and taking the next big leap in chip-making as Craig Barrett says, “Intel through its world ahead program, remains focused on accelerating access to technology and increasing internet connectivity...” Intel is also coming up with the ‘Montevina’ platform based on the chip ‘Penryn’ dual-core processors in 2008 which will feature next generation data manageability and security features in several core combinations.
fund players. The sea of changes in the financial and economic scenario is bringing in a fresh wave of opportunities for the long run. But as always, with the industry’s expansion, increased challenges and growing competition will make it difficult for the smaller players to survive, leading to a wave of consolidation to knock on the doors. But as the economic growth in India swells, and wallets and regulators ease the reins further, asset management companies are bound to prosper. The only thing that they need to focus on is to get back to their boardrooms, scratch their heads and come up with a few effective answers to emerging challenges. Opportunities are huge, and some quick on-their-feet thinking can easily send Indian mutual fund players soaring upwards, to find their rightful place, under the global financial markets Sun!
