Diamond Engagement Rings On The Internet: Blue Nile & Tiffany.
CNBC reports that Merrill Lynch analyst Lorraine Maikis has cut her stock ratings for Tiffany and Co. and Blue Nile from "neutral" to "sell."
This revised rating comes amidst an unstable economic environment, where rising food and gas prices, the credit crunch and a weak housing market, and high Platinum and Gold prices are forcing consumers to cut back on big-ticket luxury items such as jewelry.
In addition to Maikis, Oppenheimer analyst Roxanne Meyer downgraded Tiffany from "outperform" to "perform," despite the fact that the company reported strong fourth-quarter financials and raised its 2008 earnings guidance.
Tiffany reported a 7 percent increase in same-store U.S. sales for fiscal year 2007, yet remains "cautious" on the U.S. market, according to the company's latest earnings report. Overall, the company's U.S. retail sales rose 4 percent in 2007, and Tiffany opened three new stores while closing one in Maui, Hawaii, in the fourth quarter.

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.

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.
