Our view: U.S. retains clout in global markets - for now
Amidst all the panic and uncertainty on trading floors from Tokyo to London this week came the reassuring news that the American consumer is still king in the world market.
As concerns heightened about a 2008 recession here, one school of thought held that the dampening effect of such a development would be more than offset on foreign exchanges by the continued robust growth in places like China and India. Wrong!
As one economist noted yesterday, when the U.S. sneezes, the world still catches a cold. And the mere thought of Americans cutting back on their purchases due to worry about their jobs, the value of their homes and the cost of gasoline was enough to send those foreign stock markets into a two-day tailspin.
Of course, confirmation that they are still held in high esteem by investors overseas comes as cold comfort to the average American.
Gentlemen, start your turnaround
Around GM there is growing confidence, as it prepares to celebrate its centennial year in 2008, that the company is ready to shrug off any lingering whispers of bankruptcy and reclaim its title as an industry leader even if, as many expect, it loses its global sales crown to Toyota. Fortune has periodically looked deeply into the question of GM's survival, and at times the prospect has been bleak. In our Feb. 6, 2006, issue we published a cover story with the headline, "The Tragedy of General Motors." It looked searchingly at GM's history of making poor cars, its abysmal financial performance, and its towering burden of health-care obligations, concluding, "Bankruptcy isn't going to occur next week. But down the road - way past 2006 - its probability is high." Since then, Wagoner has systematically attacked GM's problem areas one by one.

Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Anyone doubt Amazon is serious about music downloads now? Posted in: Web Technology Hollywood on Demand Apple Amazon DRM Amazon announced Sunday that it plans an international rollout of its DRM-free MP3 music download service in a move that sets up a global scrap with Apple's iTunes service. Is Amazon's service an iTunes killer yet? Not really. But there's no doubt about Amazon's intentions. I've downloaded more than a few DRM-free tunes from Amazon in recent weeks–most because I got a warning about burning more than seven CDs for a 5 year old's birthday party (there was two songs purchased on iTunes). Without that little warning I probably wouldn't have tried Amazon's service.

I don't know if it's done in other parts of the country, which I'm sure it is, but around here, there are local theaters that put the Packer game on the big screen. It's mostly theaters that serve beer and food that do it, otherwise, without serving beer at a Packer game in Wisconsin, it's pointless. It's an incredibly popular place for people to go and watch the game. I've never done it myself, but there are a lot of people that do. Not any more. The NFL has sent out letters to the owners of these operations to stop showing these games because they violate copyright laws. This according to the Journal Sentinel. Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman, said in an e-mail that the league recently became aware that the businesses were showing Packers games. "We let them know they are violating copyright law and longstanding NFL policies that prohibit mass out-of-town viewing of NFL games," he said.
