OneRepublic - Secrets

I need another story Something to get off my chest My life gets kinda boring Need something that I can confess Til' all my sleeves are stained red From all the truth that I've said Come by it honestly I swear Thought you saw wink, no I've been on the brink, so Tell me what you want to hear Something that were like those years Sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away This time, don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics never jump in line I'm gonna give all my secrets away My god, amazing how we got this far It's like we're chasing all those stars Who's driving shiny big black cars And everyday I see the news All the problems that we could solve And when a situation rises Just write it into an album Singing straight, too cold I don't really like my flow, no, so Tell me what you want to hear Something that were like those years Sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my s...

Dell paying civil charges for financial fraud

WASHINGTON : Computer maker Dell Inc is paying US$100mil (RM320mil) to settle civil charges that it used fraudulent accounting to meet Wall Street earnings targets, the government announced. Under the settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), company chairman and CEO Michael Dell also agreed to pay a separate US$4mil (RM12.8mil) civil penalty. While the fine was far from the largest penalty levied by the SEC, the decision to charge a sitting chief executive of a major company and reach a seven-figure settlement with him is rare. Michael Dell is one of the most prominent figures in the technology industry, credited for revolutionising the PC market by making the computers cheap and accessible. The SEC said the company also failed to disclose to investors large payments it received from Intel Corp in exchange for not using equipment made by Intel's main rival, AMD Inc. Those payments enabled Dell to meet its quarterly earnings targets. After Intel stopped th...

Apple admits iPhone 4 reception issue, gives free case

CUPERTINO, Calif. (Dow Jones)--Apple Inc. (AAPL), answering mounting criticism over the reception issue and antenna design of its recently launched iPhone 4, admitted the phone drops more calls than the previous version and said it would give away cases as a remedy. Apple "screwed up" with the signal algorithm of the phone, Chief Executive Steve Jobs said during a press conference on Friday. But he denied that there was a design problem with the antenna, sticking to the company line that the problem is common with all smartphones. He added the issue was blown out of proportion, and that there was no "Antennagate." "Haven't we earned credibility for the press to give us the benefit of the doubt?" he asked. Apple has sold 3 million iPhone 4s since they were available on June 24, and the device quickly became the company's fastest selling product ever. But the phone, which has an unusual antenna design, was immediately dogged by complaints about it...

BAM wasting taxpayers money on overseas training

Though I'm a great badminton fan and hope Malaysia will win the World Championship, I don't concur the same thought. The taxpayers' money should be better spent elsewhere, even if the team wins. The current action by BAM seems prompting they are willing to spend extra in order to win. To make the situation worst, BAM is sending 30 over members there! I don't see the this overseas training guarantee for winning the championship. Wondering how BAM does the math? BAM believe 'isolation preparation' can reap success in world meet By RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) will be sending a 30-member team to Bath University in England from Aug 10-Aug 20 as part of their early preparation for the World Champion­ships, which will be held in Paris from Aug 23-29. But whether it will be a waste of taxpayers' money – amounting to thousands of ringgit – or not remains to be seen. The team include the eight World Championships ...

World Cup 2010 Final: Spain beats Netherlands 1-0

I would say this was a  great final match between Spain and Netherlands with the score 1-0 only after an extra time. Andres Iniesta scored the golden goal at the 116th minute and was crowned as the Man of the Match. Coach Vicente del Bosque did it right by substituting Pedro Rodriguez and Xabi Alonso with Jesus Navas and Cesc Fabregas respectively. Netherlands, on the other hand had missed the best chance where Arjen Robben was at 1 to 1 with Iker Casillas but the ball saved by the Spain's goalkeeper. The match is not without flare. Referee Howard Webb shown a total of 14 yellow cards - 9 to Netherlands and 5 to Spain with Netherlands's John Heitinga booked the second yellow leading to a red card. Lineups: Netherlands: Maarten Stekelenburg, Gregory van der Wiel, John Heitinga, Joris Mathijsen, Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Edson Braafheid, 105), Mark van Bommel, Nigel de Jong (Rafael van der Vaart, 99), Dirk Kuyt (Eljero Elia, 71), Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Robin van ...
