The Intelligence Behind Alienware

Known for its far-out designs, high-end PC maker Alienware has a loyal following among video-gaming enthusiasts. The company, acquired by Dell (DELL ) in March, prides itself on edginess and creativity. Alienware is intent on maintaining those characteristics even as it becomes part of the more staid industry giant (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/24/06, "Can Alienware Keep Its Cool?"). Indeed, the company, which last year increased sales by 50% to $172 million, seems determined to keep its distance from its corporate parent. .

Bankruptcies and repossessions soar

MOUNTING debts are forcing an increasing number of Cumbrians out of their homes and into the courts as they are declared bankrupt. In the first three months of the year, judges at Whitehaven County Court approved 40 mortgage repossessions and 47 bankruptcies – 147 per cent more than in the same period a year earlier. Carlisle saw 40 declared bankrupt with 27 losing their homes. The figures were part of a Cumbria-wide picture of deepening debts, with 137 people across the county being declared bankrupt – around twice as many as in the first three months of 2005. The crisis has prompted some politicians and debt experts to call for tighter controls on loan companies, some of which are accused of offering credit too freely and charging extortionate interest. The News & Star has this week also uncovered the personal cost of bankruptcy, with many individuals feeling too ashamed to even tell close relatives of their situation.
