Wal-Mart and Diamonds Coming To New York?
Retail giant, Wal-Mart Inc., is hoping to open a store within city limits of New York, about as far from downtown as the map would allow, in Rego Park, Queens.
"We are interested in the New York metro market, but nothing is yet signed," a Wal-Mart spokesman said.
On February 10, news agencies in New York reported that Developer Vornado Realty Trust filed a land-use application with the city for a shopping site to include a 132,000-square foot Wal-Mart store in Rego Park. The news reports created a stir with groups opposed to a Wal-Mart store in Queens.
Wal-Mart currently sells diamonds and jewelry in all of it's stores as well as on it's e-commerce website and it's potential entry into the New York market may have a significant negative impact on 47th Street retail dealers.
New York City council member for Rego Park, Helen Sears, said that no deal has been signed. Her constituency "has mixed feelings, but what is important for them is that Wal-Mart must review employee relationships."

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

The Kraft redesign kinda looks like it will be from the 70 is together with the flower matter.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I know th is is nota popular opinion, but I totally like it. Why not strive something unique? Why not make an effort to use th is object and animation to signify the interconnectedness of your group? Th is Burnley object as logo is unique from the boring shit and aesthetic nightmares we??? ve been seeing recently. In my opinion, th is is really a win.
