Australias new Vegemite
posted: Tuesday, 29th September 2009 - 07:56 • category: Recipe
What do you know, Vegemite has gone techo.
No longer do we have to first apply butter and then vegemite Kraft has done that for us - Wonder if Kraft won't find a bug in the new Vegemite iSnack 2.0
Maybe some one out there should come up with a bugfix quick!
IT MUST have seemed like a good idea at the time. But no sooner had Kraft trumpeted the name of its new Vegemite variant, iSnack 2.0, than it was met with almost universal condemnation by customers.
Twitter is already littered with comments about the new Vegemite and the word is spreading. Even new websites are appearing for example Names That Are Better Than iSnack 2.0, even Kraft appears to be hesitant to fully support to the name - chosen by a 27-year-old West Australian and announced on Saturday.
A spokesman, Simon Talbot, admitted it was polarising consumers but said the negativity was confined mainly to older consumers. Kraft has shipped its 3 millionth jar sin... view | review | bookmark | edit posted by: Feisty Fox

Australia doesnt have a serial killer
posted: Thursday, 6th August 2009 - 07:20 • category: Opinion
A US TV anchor who labelled Kevin Rudd a serial killer says her comments were a "deadpan joke" and she would like the Australian prime minister to appear on her show.
Erin Burnett targeted Mr Rudd during a broadcast yesterday on , CNBC, after learning of the Australian Government's plan to spend $19 million to cull feral camels in the outback.
IN the Simpson, Gibson and Tanami deserts in Australia, more than a million camels are roaming wild across three million square kilometres, and their numbers are expected to double with each coming decade.
How about staerting a Camel trekking venture?

Is your home a retirement nest egg
posted: Sunday, 12th July 2009 - 09:20 • category: Real Estate
There are people out there with stories of buying in the early 1970s or 1980s and selling with a 1,000 or 2,000 per cent profit after ten or twenty years.
That is surely proof enough that it is possible.
And it is. But as with anything, it isn't always quite as simple as that.
Most had one thing in common...
They started off with a big deposit, and even more than that, the average loan size compared to household income was much lower .
So why is that relevant to whether you can retire on the value of your home?
It's relevant because of the amount of interest you pay over the term of the loan. Property owners and investors only ever talk about the price they bought the property for and the price they sold it at.
They never mention tthat they bought the house for $300,000 and paid $50,000 in interest over five years and then sold it for $400,000. Plus they had other costs such as stamp duty, a... view | review | bookmark | edit posted by: Feisty Fox

Bargain Hunting on the ASX
posted: Friday, 3rd July 2009 - 10:56 • category: Business
What noise does a stock market crash make? Something like "Kerplaap" we think.
Over the last twenty-odd years there have been a few so we should all have got used to the noise by now.
The warning signs are unmistakable. Lots of frenzy and excitement. Lots of claims that the market can never fall because of, well any number of reasons. Most of them emotional rather than logical.
Heck, your editor even fell for it. We thought the 'China effect' would provide some cushion for the resources market over the last year. We were wrong. The transition from the US economy dominating consumer spending to Asia taking over clearly isn't a seamless transition.
Despite that, if it was possible to buy or sell shares in an entire economy, right now we'd be 'short' USA and 'long' China.
And Australia? That's much harder to work out. For the entire economy we'd have to say it's no better tha... view | review | bookmark | edit posted by: Feisty Fox
