Convergence of term-wise product of convergent series

Let $sum a_n$ and $sum b_n$ be two convergent series. It is easy to prove that their term-wise product $sum a_n b_n$ converges if $a_n,b_n geq 0$, but $sum a_n b_n$ does not necessarily converge otherwise.



My question is, must $sum a_n b_n$ converge if $a_n geq 0$? Having thought about it some, it seems that there should be a counterexample, but I haven't been able to find one.

          $sum |a_n b_n| leq Msum a_n < infty$ where $M=sup_n |b_n|$. Note that $b_n to 0$ so ${b_n}$ is a bounded sequence. Hence $M <infty$ and the series $sum a_n b_n$ is absolutely convergent.

And also on default emptyview android project does not use/mention this feature. I know it is required by TV's and such but why its not added by default? Why is this?

I'm having a problem with updating the query: INSERT INTO prices (price, product_id) SELECT product_price, commn_id FROM products_temp as prod WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM prices od WHERE prod.commn_id = od.product_id) OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) Query works fine when i delete: OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) So it seems to me that it's looping through this operation.
