This card game provides each player to get into the skin of a shareholder and a maximum firing an employee.

Billed as "the favorite card game bosses," sold about 12 euros, Social Plan promises to wake up "your predatory instincts and your inherent cruelty." If you believe the sales figures, the French were only waiting for this. "We were out of stock very soon, early December," said Stephen Daniel. Hence the need to build 10,000 new copies. These will be available tomorrow, Thursday, Arplay via in-store, in bookstores via Belles Lettres Broadcast Distribution (BLDD) and on the Internet.

"Send Message"

For this game, no buyer profile type, but people have in common a great sense of humor. "Generally, people buy a game card for them, and to offer," says Stephen Daniel.These are people who want to send a message caustic and humorous at times. "

The message, exactly, is the main selling point of Arplay payday loans with no fax. "In France there a ras-le-bol relocations, social plans. We wanted to provoke, intentionally, "said Stephen Daniel.

New success for Marwanny Corporation

Humor is also the preferred weapon of the creator of this game, a Breton aka John Harvey Marwanny. "This game allows ordinary people to train to become a shareholder effective, able to dismiss without qualms to maximize the profits of the company – and therefore its gains.So we help people thrive, succeed and grow rich – all while having fun! "Says the boss of the Marwanny Corporation, which adds that he developed this concept in 2010 with his colleague Hans Margoulinski" so to meet an obvious need for people to acquire the mechanisms of life of large companies and the market. "

According to its creator, "The Game Plan is part of the social process of" personal development without pain, "a concept developed by the Corporation Marwanny" to help individuals reach their potential. " This concept has also given rise to books with explicit titles: "365 days to pass," "Successful Race," "Communicating effectively with others" or "the New hate mail."

It was also necessary to ensure that the French have the second or the fifth degree. "Some take it at face value.This is serious, but at least it makes us the pub, "laughs the owner of Arplay. "We would never have released this game if there was no crisis. But we preferred to laugh while being sure to send the message, "he concludes.

This was the case of Russian DST Global Fund, which has acquired 100 million shares on Facebook gray market to complement its investment of $ 200 million made at a fundraiser.

The shares are made available by former employees or investors of the first hour wishing to recover a little liquidity.

Greek growth: IMF worst

Saturday, December 18th, 2010

The Greek economy is doing less well than hoped the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The organization led by Dominique Strauss-Kahn said Friday night that revalued downward its growth forecasts for Greece in 2011. While she has just released the third tranche of the loan in May of a $ 2.5 billion, it now expects a decline of 3% of GDP next year, against 2.5% previously. And in 2010, GDP should have declined by 4.2% against 4% so far, said the international organization. Submitted by the IMF and the European Union to a drastic austerity plan, the Greek business should not move upward "before the end of 2011."

Some factors may even help to slow further this dynamic.The IMF is particularly concerned that a stronger contraction of domestic demand, or a contagion from other countries in the periphery of the eurozone, are not counter the efforts implemented by the government to redress its finances public. To the credit of Greece, the international organization, however, cites a declining inflation, and a COMPETITIVENESS being improved.

Elongation of the Greek debt

Weak growth is likely to undermine the country's repayment capacity. The IMF and the European Union had in fact committed last May to lend 110 billion euros to Greece, then subjected to astronomical levels if it wanted to borrow on the markets. This amount was to be repaid from 2014 to 2015. But as early as last October, Dominique Strauss-Kahn tried to prepare markets for a possible rescheduling of debt Greek.And now trying to convince the European Union, which funds 80 billion on 110 billion, to consent to such extension. On Friday, a European minister questioned even in the margins of the EU summit on the mediterranean country's ability to repay its debt someday.

Despite these difficulties, the IMF on Friday expressed satisfaction with the measures already taken by the Greek government to reduce its deficit to 7.4% of GDP in 2011. "The program supported by the Fund continues to have good results, and we must congratulate the Greek authorities for their determined implementation of macroeconomic policies and structural reforms difficult and challenging," said assistant general manager of the Fund, Murilo Portugal.However, the IMF considers that "given the weakness of public sector and the appreciation of investors still negative, comprehensive reforms undertaken at the right time and are still essential" to implement.

Google and Apple are back Microsoft

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

The French are rebels. The program most used in the world to surf the Web, Internet Explorer, falling sharply in France. According to a study published by the firm AT Internet about the use of browsers, a user just two in France still uses Internet Explorer, Microsoft's software. The latter no longer holds a market share of 50.6% in France, down ten points in one year. The trend is similar in other European countries. Internet Explorer continues to be employed by the British 59.1%, 59.7% and 60.5% of Italians and Spaniards. But, again, the trend is downwards: its share fell to 51.5% against 61.2% in October 2009.

This decline reflects the growing power of the software "Google Chrome on the rise in Europe," said research firm.On average, the Internet browser from Google has recorded "a gain of 5.8 percentage points between October 2009 and October 2010. As a result, "Google Chrome strengthens its third position over Safari," said AT Internet. The Safari browser offered by Apple in its computers and mobile devices (iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad) earns points, to 6.7%.

Latest industry heavyweight, Firefox, proposed by the Mozilla Foundation, "remains the most worrisome competitor for the leader," said research firm. The share of Firefox reached 30% on the Old Continent, up 1.4 points year on year. Even the software of the Norwegian company Opera Software ASA Opera earns points.This means that Firefox-Mozilla, Google Chrome, Opera and Apple Safari are tough to browser the Redmond company.

Brussels fine

But in the early 2000s, Microsoft had ousted its rival Netscape's market and was awarded 80% market share. Unquestionably a dominant position. This had triggered the wrath of the authorities of U.S. and European competition. A long conflict which ended in victory for Brussels has imposed a fine of almost 900 million euros in two phases 2004 and 2008. Better still, the EU has forced Microsoft to open up the browser market to competition. A few years later, this approach bears fruit.

However, if Internet Explorer back in Europe, it is widely used in the U.S. and Asia.In these areas, Internet Explorer gets a better grade on the International Old Continent, with a global market share of 60.4%, according to Net Applications.

To find the tone, Microsoft has launched mid-September, the ninth version of its browser, dubbed IE9. The performance of the program were hailed by experts.

Microsoft is being attacked from all sides. After losing positions in mobile and Internet browsing, the U.S. software giant would see its last stronghold stormed. Because Google Chrome will soon launch OS, an operating system for computer that will shake the famous Windows software that team still 90% of PCs worldwide.
