    Default Benq going bye bye?

    I've heard from a reliable source that BenQ will be deceased in the near future. Not sure if it's just in Australia or worldwide, but apparently they're going belly up.

    BenQ is a division of Acer.

    I have no physical evidence of this, but if it does happen soon, you heard it first here.

    Does not surprise me one bit.

    The promise of things to come.

    With a bit of luck more low quality manufacturers will follow suit.

    I seems business confidence has taken a severe nosedive with KRudd at the helm. The banks treat Swan like he is some sort of idiot , most likel the saw his Youtube clip on how to save money at the supermarket.

    That doesnt matter to most Australians though , because he is a likeable bloke.

    Bad Kevin! I guess this is his fault too!!!
    Give him a break. All this happening because of the previous govs legacy (not so much whats happening in Taiwan though). Contrary to common belief things don't go bad over night. It was brewing for a long time in the making. Australias role was chosen in the world ecomy is a raw materials supplier. Dig dirt and sell it as long as China and India buy it.
    How are you hoping to compete in the world market with crap cars like Australian made Holden, Ford, Toyota and Mitsubishi which are poorly engineered and manufactured even by Hyundai standards!
    It became, just a nation of Farmers and Miners. Still riding on the back of resources and property market boom. Tell me one world wide hi-tech company that is owned by Australians.
    My 2 cents.

    And you quoted my post about Mango eating ear wax to tell me that ?

    The only break Kev deserves is a leg. In his brief time in power he made a number of idiotic decisions , but I suppose the majority of Australians are idiots for voting for him. Signing an agreement like Kyoto that has no benefit to us or anyone else is a complete waste of time and kev's sorry will more than likely go down in Australian history as one of the most idiotic decisions ever made. He has now promised Aboriginals " first class health care " within 5 years while the rest of us dice with death in the public system or fork out 3-4K for the protection of Private Health.

    Thanks Kev , I am gunna get some nugget on myself and get meself some of this good health shit.

    New Zealand cant make Kyoto targets because their sheep fart too much , I think we may have problems with the farting that kev and Julie expel each day.

    To sum up how ****ed up our citizens are , a mens magazine reader poll had Gillard at the second sexiest woman in Australia ! **** me , her head looks like the result of Edward Scissorhands on crystal meth

    Thank god Helen Clark wasnt eligable.

    picky picky!!!!! this statement was made in the same context as the stolen generation. why should we be made to pay out of our pockets for what previous generations did..as you say why should the government pay to help small business, well without small busimess's the unemployment level would rise,
    think about it !!!

    re-read your posts about Benq is going down and the previous one about Rudd then it should make some sense. Certainly Benq's troubles and Kevin Rudd's performance has nothing to do with each other but ideological Labor haters use every opportunity to critisize a goverment which is only a few months old even the thread is about a Taiwanese company going bust.

    Now, how do we explain this to someone who does not know the meaning of beign a country/nation and the role of its goverment and its responsibilities.

    If Australia is a banana republic (or monarchy) which did not a have a proper goverment since its establisment and ruled by day to day laws and did not had any respect to its history and heritage, we should not apoligize and take no responsibilty of the past actions of the past goverments/people.
    In this case we should not have an ANZAC day and change our flag with every new goverment elected, destroy any museums and monuments that are dedicated to our proud history etc etc.
    If you accept your history and proud of it, you should acknowledge the pass mistakes and be apologetic about them too. Besides it is not a very old issue and most of those people (stolen generation) are still alive. They well deserved a big apology from the goverment! Not from you, not from a political party, not from anybody but from the A.U.S.T.R.A.L.I.A.N goverment which is a continious entity that is responsible for the past, present and the future of the country it governs
