27 Jul 2010The US consumers have been the key force in the economic activity in the world’s largest economy for the last two decades, and they have been in pretty bad shape in the last two years.
The latest survey also reveals that the US consumer confidence is at a six month low, with one in every six person polled indicating that his / her income would be coming down in the near future. That is a bad sign indeed, and it may force many people to reduce their spending, which in turn could pull down the economy back into recession.
So expect tougher times for the US economy, say some pessimistic and also some realistic analysts.

27 Jul 2010The US government is slowly tightening the screws on spending and that is showing off on the new US wind power installations already.
The US government has already cut down on the subsidy for wind power installations this year, and that action has pulled down the new installations by a steep 71% in the first half of this year. With no possibility of the subsidy being restored by the government, due to the high budget deficit, experts are worried about the future of wind power generation in the country.
This would also mean that the dependence on crude oil and natural gas would be going up, which in turn could push the economic recovery further by few quarters or even a year.

27 Jul 2010One of the secrets of getting good print outs is to use proper inkjet cartridges. If you use improper ones, obviously, you will not get such good printouts.
This may look like a simple observation but this is actually a profound one. This principle applies every where. Let us take a few examples and look at it.
Let us take the simple example of auto components. If you don’t use a proper spare parts, what happens? Initially, the car gives you some trouble. You will keep on shooting the trouble. However, one find morning, the car will give up and would not even start.
Take the example of exercise. If you use improper methods to do exercises and use improper equipments, what happens? Initially, you will feel pain in the body. On some day or the other, your body will give up and there might be serious damage to the body itself.
There can be several other examples but I think the point is made.
Whenever you are looking at using some components, ensure that they are not spurious. Ensure that they are genuine. Ensure that there is a quality backing up. Ensure that it is a good brand. Only then go on to use it.
