Fortune 500

Information might be delayed for more than a week but have been busy lately as there is LOTS of learning taking place on technical issues for project hoffnungs (where is everybody?), working in malaymas for extra shifts and my new semesters just started, felt like information overload. Well, no matter what, it is really a long journey and a very lonely one, this year's fortune 500 list is out and some really had make a remarkable change or drop especially in the recent recession. here goes the top 10.

10: Valero Energy (jumped from the 16th last year)
9 : Hewlett-Packard (jumped from the 14th last year)
8 : AT&T (jumped from the 10th last year)
7 : Ford Motor (remained 7th)
6 : General Motors (dropped from 4th last year)
5 : General Electric (dropped from 6th last year)
4 : Conocophillips (dropped from 5th last year)
3 : Chevron (remained 3rd)
2 : Wal-Mart Stores (dropped from the 1st last year)
1 : Exxon Mobil (jumped from 2nd last year)


For my hommies who don't really know what exxon is but do know what mobil is, it is actually the same as esso mobil which was known as exxon mobil in the states, basically they have changed the name but people do recognise it as esso mobil in some countries. so this is how it looks before and after:

Their revenues for 2008 was 442,851 million which is also a change fo 18.8% from the previous year. Holy... Im writing a blog which looks exactly like those USM students, blogging about their assignments and stuff, lol. Well, Im a bit different as Im writting because I wanted to keep a record of fortune 10 in my blog. Forget about the logo part as it was only for publicity purposes. Back to my life, watched Wolverine the other day at Hoyts just beside the place Im currently staying, was a nice movie but I think it's abit different from Marvel as Wolverine doesn't have claws when he was a kid, he had it after the experiment, or do I get it wrong? If there is weapon X, where is the rest of the team? I thought Omega red, deadpool are in the team along with sabertooth and lady deathclaw. Maybe Im too old for comics anymore, hmmm...
