I Received My Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

I received my Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card two days ago. I did not expect to receive it so soon. I made payment for the card in the middle of last week. The fast service is good.

So now, I am waiting for the pin number for my card. Public Bank sends the card & pin separately for security reasons. I hope to buy something using my Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card before I start using it for my Paypal funds withdrawals.

Airbus Claims US$ Decline Benefiting Boeing

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Airbus already announced a loss last year because of the production delays of its flagship Airbus Super Jumbo A380. More worries for Airbus as it claims that the decline of the US$ is going to benefit its American arch rival, Boeing.

Perhaps Airbus has made the “Bigger is better approach too soon” while Boeing is more concerned on new materials, better flight comforts, plane interior, & fuel savings for its new DreamLiner 787 planes.

Airbus Feels Life Threatened by US$ Slide

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Airbus finds the lowering U.S. dollar “life threatening” to its existence. Why does it think that the higher Euro is bad for business? I reckon the lowering of the US$ against the Euro mean that plane buyers are going to look at the cheaper prices for commercial airplanes. Buyers around the world are going to find the cheaper US$ more attractive as compared to spending more on EURO prices for the Airbus commercial airplanes.
