The labels loan you money.
They make you pay for everything with your loan.
They take all of the profits, from the money that you invested.
Now you owe them money.
So, I think this would probably be an improvement.
Seems to me that you're confusing spending a ton of money on advertising with spending a ton of money in refurbishing the Marketing offices, as opposed to... I don't know, HIRING advertising companies and buying ad-space and paying them tons of money?
BAGHDAD — Two American soldiers were killed and six were wounded Friday by a Twitter post north of Baghdad, wrapping up a week of renewed insurgent attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq.
An Iraqi major in the Interior Ministry’s emergency force, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he isn’t authorized to make statements, was part of the American-Iraqi patrol, which was searching for smartphones in a neighborhood where a quarrel had escalated to the use of Blackberries. He said he was stepping out of his patrol car when the tweet occurred.
“All I remember is a chirping sound from my iPhone and being thrown into the air,” the major said from his hospital bed in Jalula, where he was being treated for anonymous comment wounds. “I saw American soldiers lying on the ground. Some were dead. We were terrified about what to do. I was watching Americans run left and right, taking cover.”
Just wanted to point out that the word you're looking for is Emulation.
What's the difference between Emulation and Virtualization? An emulator uses the existing processor to create a virtual "copy" of a different processor, which then uses to execute the programs made for that processor. Virtualization, on the other hand, creates a virtual PC with "existing pieces", using the host's processor to delegate tasks.
This distinction is important, because you can't virtualize a different architecture (so an Intel-based PC can only create virtual Intel CPUs). Also performance is much different.
Let's say you need your "virtual PC" to add two numbers. Virtualization would simply give the host program the actual instruction and it would execute it. The emulator would have to receive the values, and use the "emulated computer" to run the instructions needed to add them, which could be completely different than the host's.
These computers-within-a-game fit more in the Emulation type, I think. A virtual computer would simply ask your PC to return the computed results.
This is news because: surprise surprise, it just happened.
While a similar situation may have happened before, this specific situation happened just now.
Just because two people get run over by a car at two different points in time, does not make the second time "not news".
