"What’s your take on the current state of WikiLeaks? It’s an organization that’s done a lot of good, but they do seem to be doing Vladimir Putin’s bidding when it comes to influencing the U.S. presidential election.

Luxury Hotels Compete for Celebrity Snow-Birds in St. Moritz
In Suite 7 of Room Service, we take you to the famed Swiss alpine resort of St. Moritz, where five star hotels are outbidding themselves to meet their guests' every need.
The Swiss Alps are renowned as a winter playground for stars, royalty and even heads of state. This year’s ski season has been one of the best and so both the slopes and the hotels are full.Whether at St. Moritz’s landmark, the luxurious Badrutt’s Palace or the Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains, all the rooms have been fully booked all winter. When suites are going for as much as 25,000 Swiss Francs a night, money is obviously not the issue.
So what makes or breaks a trip for the super-rich? Could it be the Melba toast?

這outbid此處翻譯為"擊敗" 更正確的說法是"開價(或報價)上戰勝" 中文或許該創"價壓"" "標勝/贏"等詞

ACER OUTBIDS LENOVO TO BECOME A GLOBAL OLYMPIC GAMES SPONSOR
Acer, the world's third largest personal computer vendor, has outbid its close rival Lenovo to become a global sponsor of the Olympic Games.
Acer will become one of 11 global sponsors for the Olympic Games from January 2009 to 2012. It will supply notebook and desktop computers and monitors to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the 2012 London Summer Olympics.
Acer declined to disclose how much it paid for the sponsorship. However, the 11 current global sponsors paid an average of $78m for the rights, and sports marketing experts said the price tends to increase more than 10 per cent in every four-year cycle.
英国《金融时报》席佳琳(Kathrin Hille)台北报道 2007年12月7日 星期五
全球第三大个人电脑生产商宏碁(Acer)以更高报价击败了劲敌联想(Lenovo)，成为奥运会全球赞助商。
从2009年1月至2012年，宏碁将成为11家奥运会全球赞助商之一。它将为2010年温哥华冬奥会及2012年伦敦夏奥会提供笔记本电脑、台式电脑及显示器。
宏碁拒绝披露为获得赞助权支付了多少钱。不过目前的11家全球赞助商支付的平均价格为7800万美元，而且体育市场专家称，在每次4年一轮的争夺战中，这个价格往往都会上涨10%以上。
宏碁是首家进入竞争激烈的奥运会全球赞助商行列的台湾公司。目前在赞助商之列的中国大陆公司联想周三表示，在明年的北京奥运会之后，联想将放弃奥运全球赞助商资格。
“The company's marketing strategy is evolving to pinpoint opportunities that serve strategic needs in targeted geographies,” Lenovo said. However, people close to the bidding said the company tried to win another cycle as a global sponsor but was outbid by Acer.
联想表示：“公司的营销战略正在演变，我们将瞄准满足目标区域战略需求的机遇。”不过，知情人士称，联想本想再赢得一轮全球赞助商资格，但出价低于宏碁。
聯想表示：“我們公司的營銷戰略正演變為找出那些正確的機會來滿足目標區域之戰略需求。”不過，知情人士稱，聯想本想再贏得一輪全球贊助商資格，但出價低於宏碁。
