georgeking23...I appreciate your input on the carriers but it seems like everytime we contact our carriers they are not really positive on the carriage of Q. You mentioned the other day about 25% original programing and the ad today stated 9 hours daily. This has to be costing Q a bundle to pull off and can not be carried on forever. Do we have a time frame to look at?
Aloha
Yeah...keeping him from his job...eom
dk I would bet that 99% or better of the complaints that Frank received came from "investor's" on RB, IHUB or similar.
People who just saw the ad for the first time probably still have not even tried the link...the ad was a good thing.
Aloha
OT lobogoti
Thanks, it is pretty sweet here! I am going to head out on my morning bike ride through Wailea/Makena and dream some more about the house I'm going to buy when Q hits a nickel!
Aloha
At least they got the ticker symbol right! <<<QBID>>>
Now once again everyone is blaming Frank for this mistake and of course ultimately he is responsible. However since Q and CWR have been putting PR's out with the correct URL for quite sometime now I would assume that this ad was put out by someone new like Rubenstien. That in itself is a big step forward.
As far as getting a refund or freebie on a new ad, that would depend on whether or not it was proofread and signed off by the people who put it in.
I will run out a little later and see if it is in Maui stores...0630 now.
Aloha
Oh PS do you think IRISH will still say QTN is not owned by QBID??? LOL
If nothing else tomorrow is a BIG landmark for this company! I just hope the PPS starts to show our full potential in the very near future. We have been holding .005 and it's time to move on up!
Aloha
Off to the Mercedes Open Pro-Am! See ya...eom
VERT finally moved...now it's BACK!!!AHHHHHHH
Nope that's not Frank! eom
Ouch! Alphatrade is getting a bit much. I may look at Mytrade again.
Any suggestions!
However I pay $43 for Alpha not $50...
Aloha
OK back to QBID...
all else aside I have been in this stock since 1999 and have been very impressed at the movements we have made in the last year.
But nothing Q has put out will match what we will see from Q in the near future. Just what $1 mil in advertising will buy is coming soon!
JMO Aloha
Oh come on..just cuz you didn't win!!!! LOL eom
Keep it black, it's nicest IMO...eom
well that took all of 30 seconds! LOL eom

Corporations Donate Millions for Quake Aid
By MICHAEL P. REGAN, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK - U.S. corporations are donating millions of dollars in cash and supplies to victims of the tsunamis along the Indian Ocean, easily eclipsing the initial $35 million in aid earmarked by the U.S. government.
In addition to cash, donations of everything from diapers, antibiotics, frequent-flier miles and a gel called OdorScreen meant to curb the stench of decaying bodies are on the way to the region in the wake of earthquake-fueled waves that have claimed more than 117,000 lives in Asia, India and Africa.
The final tally is yet to be known, but it's clear the Red Cross and other aid groups are experiencing perhaps the largest surge in donations since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks or the string of hurricanes that hit Florida and the Caribbean this summer.
"The volume (of donations) that they're seeing in the last few days is several times what they saw during the hurricanes, which was several times what they see on a normal day," said Charlie Cumbaa, a vice president at Blackbaud Inc., which makes software used by the Red Cross and many other aid agencies to process donations.
Among the biggest corporate givers are Pfizer Inc., which is donating $10 million in cash and $25 million worth of drugs to relief agencies; The Coca-Cola Co., which is donating $10 million; Exxon Mobil Corp., which is giving $5 million; and Citigroup Inc., which is contributing $3 million. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged $3 million.
Pharmaceutical and health-care products companies were among the biggest givers.
Merck & Co. Inc. is giving $3 million in cash while Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Laboratories Inc. are each donating $2 million; each of the three are also sending drugs and other health care supplies to the region. Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. is donating $1 million in cash and $4 million in antibiotics and antifungal drugs. Roche Group and GlaxoSmithKline PLC were also planning to donate supplies and/or cash.
Nike Inc., American Express Co., General Electric Co., The Walt Disney Co., and First Data Corp. are each giving $1 million.
For some corporations with operations in the countries struggling with the disaster, their far-flung enterprises are serving as quick supply routes for aid.
Drug makers with offices or plants in the region sent employees out with antibiotics, nutritional supplements, infant formula, baby food and other supplies. Employees of companies like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo Inc. and Marriott International Inc. hotels in the region are delivering bottled water, food and other supplies.
"They're sending whatever they can, as fast as they can," said Elaine Palmer, spokeswoman for PepsiCo, which rushed out Aquafina bottled water from one of its Indian bottlers and plans to contribute a minimum of $1 million to the relief effort.
Fresh drinking water is one of the items most needed. Many sources of fresh water, like wells, have been contaminated by seawater, debris and sewage.
In Thailand, Starbucks coffee shops are donating all of Wednesday's profits to the relief effort. The company also made an initial contribution of $100,000 and will donate $2 for every pound of certain coffees sold in January in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and Germany.
Many companies are offering to match employee donations to aid groups and are making it easier for customers to donate.
First Data's Western Union is offering free money transfers from U.S. and Canadian donors to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Amazon.com had collected about 87,000 donations totaling more than $5.4 million for the American Red Cross (news - web sites) as of Thursday afternoon.
Wal-Mart Inc. is setting up collection containers at all of its stores, in addition to a $2 million donation from its foundation.
Google Inc. has put a link on its home page to relief groups, and America Online is encouraging members to donate to Network for Good, an online charity the Internet-service provider founded along with Cisco Systems Inc. and Yahoo! Inc (Nasdaq:YHOO - news). Yahoo also added links to five charities on its home page.
AOL members donated more than $1 million in less than 48 hours, according to spokesman Nicholas Graham.
New York public-relations guru Howard Rubenstein said an opportunity for some good PR was probably not the only motivating factor in the corporate outpouring.
"I think it's a humanitarian instinct," he said. "And the byproduct would certainly be good PR for the corporation, and more importantly for our country."
Among the growing list of donations were some companies that have suffered bad press recently, including $200,000 from Computer Associates International Inc., which has been dealing with an accounting scandal. Pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Merck have recently had to deal with stories about increased risks of heart problems for patients taking their painkillers.
"For a company that's had negative PR, I think it will serve to soften the negative image," said Rubenstein. "I would urge all companies, but especially anybody who has made an apology to the public or who has sustained broadside media attacks, to consider this. It's another form of apology and goodwill. But also another form of doing right."
Deann...ditto
What really pisses me off is the SAME day of the tsunami I saw a bumper sticker that said "These colors don't run the world" w/American flag attached. I thought that someone has to do it and the US is the best choice.
Now the eyes of the world turn to the US and look to us for assistance and some say we didn't move fast enough or are stingy... Huh?
Happy New Year...

zeus1,,,can't see on streaming audio but...the way I take it we had Subaru AND bowflex on tonite? That's a great improvement over the generic ads we have had so far.

WOW IT WORKS THANKS...EOM
Breaking News!!!Researchers find gay penguins in Japanese aquariums:
TOKYO (AFP) - Researchers have found a number of same-sex pairs of penguins at aquariums in Japan, with an imbalance between the numbers of male and female birds suspected to be the cause, a report said.
A research group led by Keisuke Ueda, professor of behavioral ecology at Rikkyo University in Tokyo, found about 20 same-sex pairs at 16 major aquariums and zoos, Kyodo news agency said.
Penguins in captivity "may be more likely to form same-sex pairs" due to the difficulty of finding partners of the opposite sex because breeding facilities in Japan only have an average of 20 birds, the agency quoted Ueda as saying.
It is not known if the frequency of homosexuality is higher than in the wild, where telling the sexes apart is tough, he said.
Many of the gay male pairs and two of the female pairs were seen performing mounting behavior, it said.
Ueda was not available for comment on the report
You guys are too funny...Mele Kalikimaka! eom
WOW interesting! eom
