Ha Ha Ha, ROFL; Amazon Will Sell 5m Tablets in Q4, Predicts Forrester

After enduring the earthquake and Irene, yours ‘battered’ truly really needed a good laugh.

Thank God for those bozos at market researcher Forrester.

Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.

ROFL ;)

Listen, guys, Forrester is predicting that it sees Amazon ‘easily selling 3 million to 5 million units in Q4 alone.’

Sure, Forrester adds the caveat of right price and enough supply:

If it’s launched at the right price with enough supply, we see Amazon’s tablet easily selling 3 million to 5 million units in Q4 alone, disrupting not only Apple’s product strategy but other tablet manufacturers’ as well. Apple will maintain a strong lead in market share, but Amazon will gain ground quickly and give product strategists from media, software, retail, banking, and other firms a reason to kick app development for Android tablets into high gear.

And pray, what’s the right price?

Apparently, the price Forrester is looking at for the Amazon tablet is below $300.

God, whatever the folks at Forrester smoke we’d like some of it as well. Please! We’re tiring of our daily staples, Guinness Extra Stout beer and Gilbey’s Gin. ;)

Forget all this 3 million or 5 million tablet sales pipe-dreams in the fourth quarter.

Here’s what we think Amazon ought to do instead of focusing on price and supply chain alone. Continue reading »

Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance – Another Korean Gem

No matter what our well-crafted plans be or how meticulously executed they are, life sometimes takes strange turns in ways completely unanticipated even by the smartest of men.

We call this the law of unintended consequences of our actions.

If Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance (2002), the precursor to Korean director Park Chan-wook’s well-known oldboy and the first film in his Vengeance trilogy, embodies anything it’s the law of unintended consequences.

Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance features South Korean actors Shin Ha-kyun, Song Kang-ho and Bae Doona in key roles.

When a deaf-mute young man Ryu (Shin Ha-kyun) desperate to save his ailing sister in urgent need of a kidney transplant decides to donate his own kidney and pay 10-million Wons to a group that promises a compatible kidney for his sister, little does he or we know the strange, horrible consequences that will soon follow with deadly consequences.

Ryu’s money and kidney are soon gone and he’s abandoned naked in a deserted building by the criminal group that’s been preying on people like Ryu.

Compounding Ryu’s misery, the hospital tells him that a compatible kidney is available for his sister and asks him to get there soon with 10-million Won.

What’s the desperate man to do?

His quick-witted girlfriend Cha Yeong-mi, played by the effervescent Bae Doona convinces an initially reluctant Ryu that under the circumstances kidnapping is the right course to take.

Before long, a young girl, daughter of Ryu’s ex-boss’ friend Song Kang-ho (Park Dong-jin) has been lifted and brought to the hovel Ryu and his sister live in.

But kidnapping the young girl and getting the ransom seems the easiest part in retrospect for everything goes awry after that.

Horribly awry.

Vengeance lifts its cloak off the human soul and death becomes a constant visitor, dropping its calling card ever so often in this entertaining Korean film. Continue reading »
