The Conquest of Everest is a 1953 British documentary film directed by George Lowe about various expeditions to the summit of Mount Everest.
 It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media.
 It usually refers to professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers.
 Digital printing has a higher cost per page than more traditional offset printing methods, but this price is usually offset by avoiding the cost of all the technical steps required to make printing plates.
 It also allows for on-demand printing, short turnaround time, and even a modification of the image (variable data) used for each impression.
 The savings in labor and the ever-increasing capability of digital presses means that digital printing is reaching the point where it can match or supersede offset printing technology's ability to produce larger print runs of several thousand sheets at a low price.
Non-price competition is a marketing strategy "in which one firm tries to distinguish its product or service from competing products on the basis of attributes like design and workmanship" (McConnell-Brue, 2002, p. 43.7-43.8).
 The firm can also distinguish its product offering through quality of service, extensive distribution, customer focus, or any sustainable competitive advantage other than price.
 It can be contrasted with price competition, which is where a company tries to distinguish its product or service from competing products on the basis of low price.
 Non-price competition typically involves promotional expenditures (such as advertising, selling staff, the locations convenience, sales promotions, coupons, special orders, or free gifts), marketing research, new product development, and brand management costs.
High–low pricing (or hi–low pricing) is a type of pricing strategy adopted by companies, usually small and medium-sized retail firms, where a firm charges a high price for an item and later when the item's popularity has passed, sell it to customers by giving discounts or through clearance sales.
 The basic type of customers for the firms adopting high–low price will not have a clear idea about what a product's price would typically be or must have a strong belief that "discount sales = low price" or they must have strong preference in purchasing the products sold in this type or by this certain firm.
The Coase conjecture, developed first by Ronald Coase, is an argument in monopoly theory.
 The conjecture sets up a situation in which a monopolist sells a durable good to a market where resale is impossible and faces consumers who have different valuations.
 The conjecture proposes that a monopolist that does not know individuals' valuations will have to sell its product at a low price if the monopolist tries to separate consumers by offering different prices in different periods.
 This is because the monopoly is, in effect, in price competition with itself over several periods and the consumer with the highest valuation, if he is patient enough, can simply wait for the lowest price.
 Thus the monopolist will have to offer a competitive price in the first period which will be low.
 The conjecture holds only when there is an infinite time horizon, as otherwise a possible action for the monopolist would be to announce a very high price until the second to last period, and then sell at the static monopoly price in the last period.
 The monopolist could avoid this problem by committing to a stable linear pricing strategy or adopting other business strategies.
The term online travel auction is a system of buying and selling travel products and services online by offering them up for auction and then awarding the item to the highest bidder.
 The need for travel auctions emanated principally due to the high cost of travel.
 This high cost is also what led to the growth in popularity of low-cost carriers, a concept initially pioneered by Southwest Airlines, and later mimicked by Ryanair.
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price is a 2005 documentary film by director Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films.
 The film presents a negative picture of Wal-Mart's business practices through interviews with former employees, small business owners, and footage of Wal-Mart executives.
 Greenwald also uses statistics interspersed between interview footage, to provide an objective analysis of the effects Wal-Mart has on individuals and communities.
The Macintosh Portable is Apple Inc.'s first battery-powered portable Macintosh personal computer.
 Released on September 20, 1989, it was received with excitement from most critics but consumer sales were quite low.
 It featured a fast, sharp, and expensive black and white active matrix LCD screen in a hinged design that covered the keyboard when the machine was not in use.
 The Portable was one of the early consumer laptops to employ an active matrix panel, and only the most expensive of the initial PowerBook line, the PowerBook 170, used one, due to the high cost.
 The cursor pointing function was handled by a built-in trackball that could be removed and located on either side of the keyboard.
 It used expensive SRAM in an effort to maximize battery life and to provide an "instant on" low power sleep mode.
 The machine was designed to be high-performance, at the cost of price and weight.
The cost of HIV treatment is a complicated issue because of the high cost of developing HIV treatments versus an urgent lifesaving need across cultural boundaries to access HIV treatments.
 One way to state the issue would be to say that the treatments, typically drug regimens, are the products of extremely costly and resource intensive clinical research.
 Once the research is complete, the actual cost of the drugs is much lower.
 Many people living with HIV need the drugs to save their lives, but are unable to afford them at the market cost.
 If the drug developers do not recover market cost, then they lose their research investment and certainly have no motivation to invest further in research.
 However, most people who need HIV treatment are unable to contribute monetarily in any significant way to the cost of their drugs, so either they need to get the drugs at a nominal cost or no cost or they will suffer death.
Everyday low price (also abbreviated as EDLP) is a pricing strategy promising consumers a low price without the need to wait for sale price events or comparison shopping.
 EDLP saves retail stores the effort and expense needed to mark down prices in the store during sale events, and is also believed to generate shopper loyalty.
 It was noted in 1994 that the Walmart retail chain in the United States, which follows an EDLP strategy, would buy "feature advertisements" in newspapers on a monthly basis, while its competitors would advertise weekly.
 Other firms that have implemented or promoted EDLP are Procter & Gamble, Food Lion, Gordmans and Winn-Dixie.
