DeBeers Earnings Fall 14%.
De Beers Group reported that its underlying earnings fell 14 percent to $308 million during the first half of fiscal 2006. De Beers now uses underlying earnings rather than headline earnings to provide a better measure of performance it disclosed in its financial statement. Total revenues for De Beers held flat at $3.92 billion for the first six months of 2006 compared with January through June 2005.
During an industry presentation announcing first half results, company chairman, Nicky Oppenheimer, said that the results were indicative of difficult trading conditions. Higher interest rates, higher gold and platinum prices, reduced margins across the distribution pipeline, and the increasing need to manage polished inventory levels all weighed on the rough trading markets.
De Beers sales and marketing arm, the Diamond Trading Company (DTC,) posted a 1 percent increase in sales to $3.25 billion for the first half of 2006.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

For what its worth, the layout is definitely incredible. You know how you can balance writing and images/videos. However, I cant get over how little you truly bring to light here. I think that everyones said the same factor that youve said over and over once again. Dont you feel its time for something a lot more?
