Gangnam-gu, Seoul -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/15/2011 -- Apple released Mac OS X Lion last week, and in its full review, PCMag said it was "hands-down the best consumer OS on the market today." But would you pay $4,000 for it?

According to MacRumors, John Christman bought Lion on July 23 for $31.79, the price after tax. But then, for unexplained reasons, his PayPal account was charged another 121 times, adding up to a grand total of $3,878.40.

Christman certainly didn't mean to buy Lion for himself and 121 of his friends. He said Apple and PayPal blamed each other, and neither company would claim fault for the mistake.

"Apple blames PayPal, PayPal blames Apple," he told MacRumors. "They both are claiming to investigate but I am stuck broke for three days now. Apple claims there was only one transaction. When I told PayPal to dispute them, they closed the cases and marked the items as refunded on the 23rd. Bear in mind this money was taken and never returned yet."
So what caused the overcharge? Christman thinks it could be tied to an iCloud feature that lets iTunes automatically download past purchases. He told MacRumors he "fresh installed Lion" because his system needed to be upgraded before installation.

"I logged into our developer account and got the latest iTunes Beta, and installed it," he continued. "iTunes has a cool new feature to download all your purchased apps for you. I clicked download all. As each download started...

Greece had already received non-investment grades by credit rating agencies before the most recent downgrade in its sovereign rating by S&P. So large institutional investors had not been able to invest in Greece anyway.

Bank of Korea Governor Kim Choong-soo, right, holds a meeting with chief executives at the BOK’s headquarters in central Seoul yesterday. Korea’s central bank governor cautioned companies, individuals and the government yesterday on the danger of taking on an unreasonable level of debt. During a meeting with corporate executives yesterday, Bank of Korea Governor Kim Choong-so said, “corporations, the government and individuals should pay close attention to how much debt they take on.” The BOK’s 25 basis point rate hike last Friday will increase interest payments for debt holders. Kim also commented on Korea’s mounting household debt. “We should keep an eye on those who take out loans that have no ability to pay them back.” Yet he expressed confidence that Korea’s record household debt – which recently exceeded the 800 trillion won mark – is manageable. A number of the country’s largest conglomerates were represented at the meeting, including Kim Young-chul, Dongkuk Steel president & CEO; Alfred S. Koh, Samsung SDS CEO; Huh Chang-soo, GS Engineering & Construction chairman; Huh Myung-soo, GS E&C president & CEO; and Yoon Young-doo, Asiana Airlines chief executive. “The housing market doesn’t look so optimistic,” said ...

Russ and Desiree Grant (Street Side, Northside) again teamed up with Michael Noone (their partner atSimone's) to open Boiler Room. Like its Pilsen sibling, the bar has an industrial, eco-friendly aesthetic courtesy of reclaimed materials cobbled together by design firm Alter Ego. Bartenders serve cheap, hipster-approved drafts, craft brews and a tasty selection of cocktails. An open kitchen equipped with a Roto-Flex pizza oven cranks out huge thin-crust pies with seasonal toppings, sold by the whole pie or slice. The neighborhood is the focus here, so expect affordable price points (that means few drinks over $8) and a rock n' roll vibe (we love the $7.50 pizza-PBR-Jameson shot combo served daily). Hit the ATM before you arrive -- it's cash-only.
