We’ve pushed the boundaries of technology and engineering in the pursuit of the supreme driving experience and a vehicle worthy of the title ‘supercar’. The result is a car that delivers formidable performance combined with luxurious sophistication. It’s no wonder this supercar is years ahead of everyone else.

The former eBay CEO and one time candidate for California
governor, Meg Whitman, had reason to be happy when she
said: “I am honoured and excited to lead HP. I believe HP
matters, it matters to Silicon Valley, California, the country
and the world” after her appointment as President and CEO
of Hewlett-Packard – an American multinational information
technology corporation headquartered in California.
Hewlett-Packard, commonly referred to as HP, boasted $126
billion in revenue last year while employing more than 324,000
and a global operation that ships the equivalent of two personal
computers every second.
But it’s not all smooth sailing for Whitman who replaces Leo
Apotheker. She’s taking the reins at an extremely challenging
time when the company is reeling due to plummeting stock
prices that have slipped more than 45 per cent in the past
11 months indicating a huge loss in investors and partners
confidence. Furthermore the future of HP’s $40 billion personal
computer business hangs in the balance.
In her first weeks as CEO Whitman, 55, has hit the ground
running by signing off on the closely watched $10.4 billion
acquisition of UK software company Autonomy. This sends the
message that she has strategies in place to re-establish HP’s
credibility with investors and analysts. On the niggling questions
whether HP will spin off its personal computer division she
reassured, “We’ll make a decision as fast as we possibly can,
we understand uncertainty doesn’t help the business, doesn’t
help customers, doesn’t help shareholders.”
Analysts claim that HP is facing testing times from emerging
trends. With the advent of new technologies the demand for
traditional outsourcing of computer maintenance that is a big
part of HP’s $35 billion service business is sharply falling.

Less than a month after announcing a plan to separate its
DVD-by-mail and internet streaming services, Netflix reversed
course and said it would keep the two services on a single
website. Customers had complained that the plan would
have made it more difficult to watch movies and investors
hated it as well. That means the short-lived Qwikster
has joined the ranks of New Coke when it comes to bad
marketing decisions.
Not that it is Netflix’s first misstep this year. The stock
had been on a tear, rising from $110 in July 2010 to more
than $290 on July 12, 2011. But on that same day, Netflix
announced it was raising fees for its DVD business by
as much as 60 per cent. Then came the coup de grace:
Qwikster, the new name for the DVD-by-mail service.
Since the Qwikster affair, Netflix shares have slid 28 per
cent and consumers are bolting in big numbers. Netflix had
24.6 million subscribers at the end of June, but it warned last
month that it expected a net 600,000 to leave by the end of
September because of the price increase.

PrivateBankerSociete Generale is the second largest French bank after BNP Paribas and one of the oldest as it was founded in 1864. By comparison its wealth management arm is fairly young as it was established in 1997. Daniel Truchi, who is now the global CEO of Societe Generale Private Banking, has been there every step of the way as he joined the banking group in 1996 to create the private banking division in Asia, reports Guido Duken.

My experience of private banking is rather limited as in no way can I lay claim to being a high-net-worth individual (HNWI) with financial assets in excess of one million euros, let alone an ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNW). But if I were in the market for a private banker, Daniel Truchi would definitely tick the right boxes.
Societe Generale has 157,000 employees based in 85 countries and more than 33 million clients throughout the world on a daily basis.

“Huaxi’s affairs are run by a company, reported to shelter 57 subsidiaries, including seven more holding companies. The town has interests in everything from extruded aluminium to traditional medicine to spun polyester cloth to real estate.”

A young fashion designer from Hanover,
Germany, is revolutionising high fashion by
designing clothes with a staple she can
find in her fridge – milk.
Anke Domaske, 28, has developed a
fabric called QMilch made from high
concentrations of the milk protein casein.
It is also the first man-made fibre
produced entirely without chemicals.
The QMilch fabric is ecological but also
has many health benefits according to
Domaske. She also said the amino acids
in the protein are antibacterial, anti-aging
and can help regulate both blood
circulation and body temperature.
Domaske’s fashion label Mademoiselle
Chi Chi – a favourite among the likes of
Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson – has
now started weaving the milk fibre into
its collection.
Milk fabric has been around since the
1930s but was always produced in
unecological ways. Unlike earlier
prototypes, QMilch is made almost entirely
from casein. The fibre comes out in
strands and is then spun into yarn on a
spinning machine.
Domaske said it would take about six
litres of milk to produce an entire dress,
which costs about €150 euros ($199)
to €200.
