Economy » Companies Apple, Google won't face poaching class action, for now JONATHAN STEMPEL, ReutersApril 5, 2013 11:31pm 1 9 0 16 San Jose, California - A federal judge will not allow a lawsuit accusing Apple Inc, Google Inc and other technology companies of conspiring not to poach each other's employees to proceed as a class action, but left the door open for affected workers to eventually sue as a group. In a decision released Friday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California said the five software engineers who brought the case had yet to show that the proposed class plaintiffs had enough in common to allow them to sue together. However, in light of new evidence, she said the nature of the "alleged overarching conspiracy" and desire to litigate it all at once weighed "heavily" in favor of class certification. As a result, she gave the plaintiffs a chance to seek class certification again. The case has been closely watched in Silicon Valley, and much of it has been built on emails among .. ...

Mar 12, 2013 Apple price target cut to $420 by Jefferies Apple Inc.'s price target was cut to $420 from $500 by analysts at Jefferies due to slower sales growth in the first quarter. Jefferies has a hold rating on the stock. The analysts cut iPhone sales estimates to 35 million from 37.5 million for the first quarter. Jefferies estimates that Apple is holding 2 million in excess iPhone inventory on its balance sheet. The firm cut its revenue forecast for Apple to $41 billion in the first quarter and sees a 25% probability the firm will miss guidance due to sales slowing even more after Samsung's Galaxy S4 launch on Thursday. Apple shares were down 0.7% in premarket trading. Plus with the pressure of the latest device from Samsung is expected to launch later this spring — likely giving it a long, early jump against the next iPhone from archrival Apple Inc. The two companies have become locked in a battle for supremacy in the lucrative market, largely overshadowing the many other device manufacturers that ...

San Francisco (Reuters) - Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs when it comes to leading Apple Inc. As the debut of the new iPhone 5 just proved, that may not be a bad thing. The taller, thinner and lighter phone prompted a rush on Wall Street to raise price targets for Apple stock, but the optimism was not because of a big technological advance or design breakthrough; the "wow" factor that was the trademark of the late Apple co-founder Jobs was decidedly absent. Rather, it was the speed of the global launch that astounded, validating the new CEO's much-touted wizardry at the essential but unglamorous task of managing a supply chain. "We are positively surprised regarding the pace of the rollout, since we had expected a bigger impact from component constraints," Barclays analyst Ben Reitzes said. By next Friday, the iPhone 5 will be in 31 countries, and will be in 100 by the end of the calendar year. That would be 30 more than the rollout of the predecessor phone, the 4S, over a similar period, Jeffries analyst Peter ...

Samsung’s $1bn bill in Apple case reduced by $450M San Francisco: A federal judge slashed nearly half of the $1 billion damage award a jury ordered Samsung Electronics to pay Apple Inc. after a high-profile trial over the rights to the design and technology running some of the world’s most popular smartphones and tablet computers. US District Court Judge Lucy Koh on Friday lowered the damages awarded to Apple Inc. by $450.5 million for 14 Samsung products including some products in its hot-selling Galaxy lineup, saying jurors had not properly followed her instruction in calculating some of the damages. She also concluded that mistakes had been made in determining when Apple had first notified Samsung about the alleged violations of patents for its trend-setting iPhone and IPad. Koh ordered a new trial to recalculate damages for those products. “We are pleased that the court decided to strike $450,514,650 from the jury’s award,” Samsung spokeswoman Lauren Restuccia said. “Samsung intends to see ...

Originally released in 2007 for the iPhone and iPod Touch, it has been extended to support other Apple devices such as the iPad and Apple TV.

Apple’s Secret Training Ground Apple keeps a tight lid on what goes on in its learning organization, Apple University. Why? Apple Inc.’s learning organization, Apple University, grabbed headlines last month when Morten T. Hansen, a noted academic and co-author of the best-selling Jim Collins book Great By Choice, joined its staff from the University of California at Berkeley. It’s unclear what Hansen will do at Apple. Multiple news sources have tried to figure out the details of his role, but Hansen isn’t saying much beyond that his plan is to give seminars and advice. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. While many large companies conduct internal training programs and house corporate universities, Apple University is particularly interesting because no one is really sure what goes on there. Just more than a week ago, retail pharmacy Walgreens unveiled its brand-new, 40,000-square-foot corporate university in Deerfield, Ill. The company held a media tour of the building, which includes 8,000 ...

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok [understand] what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don’t take the time to do that. "Steve Jobs" Co-founder of Apple Inc.

FAILING TO BEAT APPLE, NOKIA AIMS FOR BLACKBERRY As erstwhile smartphone leader Nokia Oyj (NOK1V) fails to gain much headway on Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Samsung Electronics Co., the Finnish company is setting its sights on a weaker rival: BlackBerry. Nokia is betting its partnership with corporate-computing giant Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) will help it win business users, targeting BlackBerry’s stronghold. Nokia’s newest Lumia smartphones, including two introduced this week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, run on Microsoft’s operating system and come with Excel, Word and PowerPoint Gaining a foothold in the business market is crucial for Nokia as it and BlackBerry fight for third place in smartphones, behind Samsung -- the leader in devices using Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Android -- and Apple. Shares of both Nokia and BlackBerry have lost 90 percent in the past five years as first consumers and then companies have turned to Android and Apple’s iOS. “The importance of winning the business audienc ...

TOP INDIA HEADLINE NEWS! Apple's new-found India love signals a rethink Updated: February 25, 2013 10:23 IST As BlackBerry launches the first smartphone from its make-or-break BB10 line in India, one of its most loyal markets, the company faces new competition from a formidable rival that has long had a minimal presence in the country. More than four years after it started selling iPhones in India, Apple Inc is now aggressively pushing the iconic device through instalment payment plans that make it more affordable, a new distribution model and heavy marketing blitz. "Now your dream phone" at 5,056 rupees, read a recent full front-page ad for an iPhone 5 in the Times of India, referring to the initial payment on a phone priced at $840, or almost two months' wages for an entry-level software engineer. The new-found interest in India suggests a subtle strategy shift for Apple, which has moved tentatively in emerging markets and has allowed rivals such as Samsung and Blackberry to dominate with more affordabl ...

10 Things for a Young Entrepreneur 1)Don't be an entrepreneur just for the heck of it. There's no point in getting into a business that everyone else is already doing. Like the the guy who wanted to get into the soft drink business but then he invented the straw. 2)Don't just start a company. Start a whole new industry. Remember Post-Its. 3)Never give up. The guy who started Victora's Secret sold his company and jumped off a bridge before it became Victoria's secret because he thought it would never be successful/ 4)Don't be afraid. Ron Wayne was so afraid of starting a new company that he backed out of his partnership contract. He is now living on his pension. Oh I forgot to mention, the contract was for Apple Inc. 5)Good artists copy, great artist steal. The entire Macintosh idea was stolen from Xerox. and then Microsoft copied it from Apple. 6)Sell yourself shamelessly. Branson is probably more popular than his own company - Virgin. 7)Be creative . Very creative. There's this guy who took a circle, put ...

BIOGRAPHY OF Steve Jobs; Steve Jobs, the American businessman and technology visionary who is best known as the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc, was born on February 24, 1955. His parents were two University of Wisconsin graduate students, Joanne Carole Schieble and Syrian-born Abdulfattah Jandali. They were both unmarried at the time. Jandali, who was teaching in Wisconsin when Steve was born, said he had no choice but to put the baby up for adoption because his girlfriend's family objected to their relationship. The baby was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs (1922–1993) and Clara Jobs (1924–1986). Later, when asked about his "adoptive parents," Jobs replied emphatically that Paul and Clara Jobs "were my parents." He stated in his authorized biography that they "were my parents 1,000%." Unknown to him, his biological parents would subsequently marry (December 1955), have a second child, novelist Mona Simpson, in 1957, and divorce in 1962. The Jobs family moved from ...

San Jose Pot Shops Use IPads To Lure Silicon Valley Techs At the medical marijuana clinic in San Jose, California, known as Palliative Health Center, iPads are posted around the shop to cater to technology workers who buy their pot there. The dispensary is four miles from Cisco Systems Inc. and 10 miles from Cupertino-based Apple Inc. About 40 percent of the shop’s clients are tech workers who use the iPads to select their buds before stepping up to the counter, said Ernie Arreola, the assistant manager. “They’re the ones who really raved about it the most,” Arreola said of the high-tech answer to a price list. “We’re seeing people from some semiconductors, lots of engineers, lots of programmers.” San Jose is the medical-marijuana capital of Silicon Valley with 106 clinics, about twice as many per square mile as Los Angeles. The number soared after 2009, when President Barack Obama’s administration told federal prosecutors not to file charges against legitimate dispensaries and their patro ...

Thank you Steve; With Sympathy to the Jobs Family and Apple, Inc. This is sent with heartfelt sympathy to the family of Steve Jobs, Apple Inc., and the many friends. The world is a better place because he lived in this world. I can only think of him warmly when I think of all my Apple Computers have done for me. I had an Apple IIE, on which I drafted my PHd dissertation (in U.S. History), and used all sorts of cabling to get it over to the Macintosh Plus on which I printed it with the earliest HP inkjet printer to work with a Macintosh. I also worked as a research assistant in graduate school, putting my archival research into an Excel spreadsheet. I wrote an article and numerous lectures on a Macintosh until I transformed a doll collecting hobby into a business and went on the internet with it. I still used a MacBook computer all these years later, though I have not graduated to an iPhone yet. I've thought about it, especially the few times I have traveled. These days the world seems to be brought to me. ...

iPhone or Andoid? 1. Hardware: Choice vs. Polish image copyright Apple Inc. Hardware is the first place that the differences between the iPhone and Android become clear. Apple is the only company that makes iPhones, giving it extremely tight control over how the software and hardware work together. On the other hand, Google offers its Android software to many phone makers (Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola, among others, offer Android phones). As a result, Android phones vary quite a bit in size, weight, features, user experience, and quality. It’s not uncommon to hear that some Android phones regularly overheat or freeze up or that some models are simply low quality. This inconsistency of quality isn’t an issue for the iPhone. Apple offers users a single choice: what model of iPhone do you want (5, 4S or 4), not what company’s phone and then what model. Of course, some people may prefer the greater choice Android offers. Others, though, will appreciate the simplicity and quality offered by the iPhone. ...

Apple fires back at rebel investor Einhorn :- David Einhorn tried to dissuade Apple Inc last week from eliminating its ability to issue preferred shares at will, saying the need to first obtain shareholder approval would be an unnecessary roadblock to any such future plans, the iPhone maker said in a court filing. Apple chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer described in the filing how, during a discussion with Einhorn and Apple CEO Tim Cook on Feb. 6, Einhorn opposed the so-called "Proposal No. 2", which would remove an existing system for issuing preferred shares at the company's sole discretion, without having to get shareholders' approval. Einhorn "viewed requiring shareholder approval for his ... proposal as a 'roadblock that was not needed'," Oppenheimer declared in the filing. "He said that he wanted to 'take the risk away' of a shareholder vote and asked 'why make it harder?' "We told Mr Einhorn that Apple was considering his proposal, but that the Board would not issue his proposed perpetual . ...

Apple and Samsung, frenemies for life San Francisco/SEOUL (Reuters) - It was the late Steve Jobs' worst nightmare. A powerful Asian manufacturer, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd , uses Google Inc's (NSQ:GOOG - News) Android software to create smartphones and tablets that closely resemble the iPhone and the iPad. Samsung starts gaining market share, hurting Apple Inc's (NSQ:AAPL - News) margins and stock price and threatening its reign as the king of cool in consumer electronics. Jobs, of course, had an answer to all this: a "thermo-nuclear" legal war that would keep clones off the market. Yet nearly two years after Apple first filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Samsung, and six months after it won a huge legal victory over its South Korean rival, Apple's chances of blocking the sale of Samsung products are growing dimmer by the day. Indeed, a series of recent court rulings suggests that the smartphone patent wars are now grinding toward a stalemate, with Apple unable to show that its sales have been s ...

BlackBerry shares drop as Home Depot switches to iPhone Reports on Reuter today said: Shares of BlackBerry fell 3percent on Monday after U.S. home improvement retailer Home Depot Inc said it is replacing the BlackBerry smartphones it provides its executives and managers with Apple Inc's iPhone. The news is a setback for BlackBerry as it fights to retain its base of big corporate clients and government agencies. The recent launch of a revamped line of smartphones powered by its reengineered BlackBerry 10 operating system was a crucial step in that effort. BlackBerry, which is changing its legal name from Research In Motion Ltd, unveiled two new devices - a full touch-screen smartphone dubbed the Z10 and a more traditional physical keyboard version named Q10 - at a launch event in New York on January 30. The company hopes the make-or-break new line will help it win back market share ceded in recent years to the likes of Apple and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, whose Galaxy line is powered by Google Inc's marke ...

Lunchtime at the flagship In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Baldwin Park, California, is a study in efficiency. As the order line swells, smiling workers swoop in to operate empty cash registers.

Repairing a legacy? Michael Dell once gave up day-to-day control of the computer company that bears his name - and everything began to go south. Now the billionaire is cementing his grip over the firm to try to restore it to its former glory. The billionaire roped in private equity house Silver Lake and Microsoft Corp, to take his 28-year-old company private for $24.4 billion in the second-largest buyout in technology history. In Tuesday's announcement, Dell - who once upbraided Apple Inc co-founder's Steve Jobs for trying to rescue the Mac-maker - enthused about the "exciting new chapter" his company was embarking upon. While those investors and Dell himself have said little on the subject, some analysts believe the brash, combative Texan native, having once propelled his company from a college dorm-room project to the pinnacle of the personal computing world, may be itching to repair his reputation as a visionary CEO. In the years since he returned in 2007 to re-take the reins at Dell Inc, the company h ...

U.S. court says won't expedite Apple appeal vs Samsung. San Francisco (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday rejected Apple Inc's request to fast-track its bid for a sales ban on several Samsung Electronics Co Ltd phones, ruling the iPhone maker could not argue its case to the full appeals court right away. A lower court judge had rejected Apple's bid for a permanent injunction following a blockbuster trial last year. In its ruling on Monday, the Federal U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., said a three-judge panel will first consider Apple's appeal, and the full appeals court would not decide whether to hear the case until after that. Representatives for both Apple and Samsung declined to comment. The fight in the appeals court comes after Apple won a $1.05 billion verdict last year against Samsung in a California trial court. Apple followed up its win by seeking a permanent ban on several older Samsung phones, but analysts expected Apple to try to extend such a ruling to Samsung's hott ...

10 money-making investment ideas for 2013. Where to put your money after 2012’s bull run. 1. Mega-cap stocks go big “The new leadership within the equity market is mega caps,” Mary Ann Bartels, technical research analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, wrote in a recent research report.

Ashton Kutcher Was Hospitalized After Adopting "Fruitarian Diet" for Steve Jobs Movie Ashton Kutcher definitely suffered for his art. To realistically channel the late Apple Inc. founder Steve Jobs in biopic jOBS, the actor, 34, went to extreme lengths: Watching "hundreds of hours" of footage, scouring the visionary's speeches, interviewing Jobs' friends . . . and even copying his "fruitarian diet," Kutcher told the Associated Press at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of the film in Park City, Utah on Friday Jan. 25. The choice to go "fruitarian" -- consuming only fruits, nuts and seeds and no animal products, vegetables or grains -- "can lead to some serious problems," Kutcher revealed. Indeed, as a result, Kutcher "ended up in the hospital two days before we started shooting the movie," he said. "I was like doubled over in pain, and my pancreas levels were completely out of whack, which was completely terrifying, considering everything," said the That 70s Show alum. (Jobs died in October 2011 at age ...

By IAN SHERR and EVAN RAMSTAD Samsung Electronics Co. 005930.SE -2.48% is succeeding where other technology companies have tried and failed: closing the coolness gap with Apple Inc. AAPL -2.36% The deep-pocketed Korean company has used a combination of engineering prowess, manufacturing heft and marketing savvy to create smartphones that can rival the iPhone in both sales and appeal. Samsung, the market leader in smartphones, on Friday said its fourth-quarter profit surged 76% to a record high on the strength of smartphone sales, including its Galaxy S line. The latest version is considered comparable by many shoppers in both design and technical features. Apple, meanwhile, reignited concerns about demand for its iPhone 5 after reporting flat earnings for the holiday quarter, sending its stock down 14% in the past two days. The stock has also dropped 37% since hitting an all-time high on Sept. 19, just two days before the iPhone 5 launched in stores. At that time, Samsung had just unleashed an aggressive ...

Exxon surpasses Apple as world's most valuable company New York: Exxon has once again surpassed Apple as the world's most valuable company after the iPhone and iPad maker saw its stock price falter. Apple Inc.'s stock has been on the decline since the company's quarterly earnings report Wednesday suggested that its fast growth phase, rare for a company of its size, may be coming to an end. Apple's stock fell 2.4 per cent to close Friday at $439.88 for a market capitalization of $413 billion. That followed a 12 per cent drop on Thursday, the biggest one-day percentage drop for the company since 2008. Exxon Mobil Corp. gained 38 cents Friday to $91.73 for a market capitalization of $418 billion. Apple first surpassed Exxon in the summer of 2011, displacing the oil company from a perch it had held since 2005. The two companies traded places through that fall, until Apple surpassed Exxon for good in early 2012 - at least until Friday. China's largest oil company, PetroChina, could lay claim to having hit a ma ...

LG Display posts robust Q4 profit amid Apple worries: Reuters LG Display Co Ltd reported a second consecutive quarterly profit, beating forecasts by far on a rebound in television sales during the year-end holiday season and solid sales of screens used in Apple Inc's iPad and iPhone. But concerns about slower growth for Apple products have risen, particularly in the wake of disappointing earnings from the U.S. company on Wednesday, and analysts have forecast earnings for the South Korean screen maker to slide in the first quarter. LG Display said it expected its LCD panel shipments to decline by around 15 percent in the first quarter from the previous quarter. The company, which provides about 70 percent of Apple iPad screens and vies with Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's panel unit for the top position in liquid crystal display flat screens globally, reported 587 billion won ($550.6 million) in operating profit for the October-December quarter. That beat an average prediction for a 441 billion won profit in ...

Apple Sales Gain Slowest Since ’09 as Competition Climbs Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc. tumbled after reporting the slowest profit growth since 2003 and weakest sales increase in 14 quarters, as rising costs and accelerating competition make it harder to sustain revenue expansion. Apple fell as much as 11 percent in late trading yesterday after saying that profit rose less than 1 percent to $13.1 billion, or $13.81 a share, in the period that ended Dec. 29. Sales rose 18 percent to $54.5 billion, falling short of $54.9 billion, the average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg. Analysts had predicted profit of $13.53 a share. The results underscore the rising costs of product overhauls aimed at staying ahead of competitors such as Samsung Electronics Co. in the saturating smartphone market. Even as Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook guided Apple to record revenue and iPad and iPhone sales, the share drop reflects investors’ concern over management’s ability to keep producing hit products more than ...

From the Wall Street Journal on November 15th, Tears nearly welled up in Zynga Inc chief executive Mark Pincus's eyes at a meeting in September with Apple Inc director Bill Campbell. Mr. Campbell, a technology veteran who has coached Silicon Valley CEOs such as Steve Jobs and Eric Schmidt, had been called in by Zynga investor and venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to advise Mr. Pincus as the social games company's stock plunged and some of its online games lost traction. Some Kleiner Perkins partners warned Mr. Campbell that he might not make much progress. But at the meeting, where the two men discussed Zynga's management challenges, Mr. Pincus was open to advice. Mr. Pincus "was discouraged," said Mr. Campbell, adding that the CEO was near tears. He "felt terrible about what was happening; he felt the turmoil." The moment was a peek into how Mr. Pincus, who took Zynga public at a $9 billion valuation last year, was coming to grips with how far the five-year-old San Francisco company h ...

Wow! APPL (Apple Inc) is now below $500 a share. BUY BUY BUY, this stock will surge once again, as they trim some fat off the meat and get ready to grow even more. Currently - Apple's soar movement is due to the relocation of manufacturing to some parts from Taiwan to USA. This increased their expenses in wages thus lowering their bottom line dollar. It creates job opportunities for america, but also increased the cost of doing business for Apple. Another big move on Apple was to stop manufacturing some parts to old components (old phones). This is a textbook move to get consumers to buy the new products at a higher price then to fix their current component through some vendor that Apple does not profit. This will put Apple's profits back on the board. -FMC

Today, the big news affecting the NASDAQ futures, which are down over 16 points at the time of this writing, is the big drop in Apple Inc. (AAPL) which is trading down -3.5% premarket after a news report said suppliers of a key component of the iPhone 5 are scaling back production due to slower-than-expected global demand for the mobile device. Allegedly, iPhone display orders have been cut 50%. We are getting asked about AAPL so much these days that even U.S. News & World Report is asking us about our "dead right" call on AAPL based on articles we wrote in Forbes and MarketWatch.com over a month ago. Since AAPL carries a signifciant weighting in the NASDAQ Composite and NASDAQ-100, both are trading down over -0.6% premarket. Premarket AAPL is trading down towards the $500 level which is roughly where the neckline in its head and shoulders formation is located. A high-volume breakdown and downside "breakout" through this level would constitute a short-sale signal. AAPL is a fantastic example of how the to ...

1. Steve Jobs Chairman and CEO, Apple During the first two decades of his remarkable 30-year career, the Apple Inc. founder twice altered the direction of the computer industry. In 1977 the Apple II kicked off the PC era, and the graphical user interface launched by Macintosh in 1984 has been aped by every other computer since. Along the way Jobs conceived of "desktop publishing," gave the world the laser printer, and pioneered personal computer networks. As a side gig he bankrolled Pixar, which fostered the development of the technology and a brand-new business model for creating computer-animated feature films. Since returning to Apple in 1997, he has changed the dynamics of consumer electronics with the iPod, and persuaded the music industry, the television networks, and Hollywood to distribute their wares with the iTunes Music Store. With his hugely successful Apple Stores, he gave the big-box boys a lesson in high-margin, high-touch retailing. And this year, at the height of his creative and promotio ...

(Reuters) - Computer users are being advised by security experts to disable Oracle Corp's widely used Java software after a security flaw was discovered in the past day that they say hackers are exploiting to attack computers. "Java is a mess. It's not secure," said Jaime Blasco, Labs Manager with AlienVault Labs. "You have to disable it." Java, which is installed on hundreds of millions of PCs around the globe, is a computer language that enables programmers to write software using just one set of code that will run on virtually any type of computer. It is used so that Web developers can make sites accessible from browsers running on Microsoft Corp Windows PCs or Macs from Apple Inc. Computer users access those programs through modules, or plug-ins, that run Java software on top of browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. Three computer security experts told Reuters on Thursday that computer users should disable those Java modules to protect themselves from attack. A spokeswoman for Oracle said sh ...

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Deutsche Telekom AG( DTEGn.DE ) unit T-Mobile USA will start selling the Apple Inc ( AAPL.O ) iPhone in about three to four months and will enforce its plan to get rid of cellphone subsidies in a similar timeframe, according to Chief Executive John Legere. Legere declined to disclose details about the company's agreement with Apple, except to say that T-Mobile USA's timing for selling the smartphone would be sooner rather than later, along with its subsidy elimination plan. "They're all, I would call them, in three to four months as opposed to six to nine months, Legere told Reuters in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. T-Mobile USA said late last year it would eliminate handset subsidies in 2013 to give customers more flexibility and lower service prices. It said at the same time that it will also sell the iPhone, making it the last U.S. mobile provider to do so. The company hopes to attract customers from bigger rivals like AT&T Inc ( T.N ) and Verizon Wire ...

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd is expected to widen its lead over Apple Inc in global smartphone sales this year with 35 percent growth, helped by a broad product lineup. Apple, returning the offensive, could roll out a smaller, cheaper "iPhone Mini" next year to grab market share by targeting demand from users of lower-end smartphones. Global smartphone shipments will jump 27 percent to 875 million shipments this year,slowing from last year's torrid 41 percent pace as growth is easing in many key markets such as North America, China, the developed economies of Asia, and Western Europe. South Korea's Samsung Electronics is forecast to sell 290 million smartphones this year, up from a projected 215 million in 2012. Apple's smartphone sales are projected to reach 180 million this year, up 33 percent from last year, slightly trailing Samsung's 35 percent increase. This will give Samsung a 33 percent share of the 2013 smartphone market, up from last year's estimated 31 percent, while Apple will hold 21 percent, v ...

NEWS ; Apple Inc has started testing a new iPhone and the next version of its iOS software, news website The Next Web reported. Application developers have found in their app usage logs references to a new iPhone identifier, iPhone 6.1, running iOS 7 operating system, the website reported. (iPhone 5 bears the identifiers "iPhone 5.1" and "iPhone 5.2" and is powered by iOS 6 operating system. Developer logs show that the app requests originate from an internet address on Apple's Cupertino campus, suggesting that Apple engineers are testing compatibility for some of the popular apps, the website said. "Although OS and device data can be faked, the unique IP footprint leading back to Apple's Cupertino campus leads us to believe this is not one of those attempts," the website said. Apple launched iPhone 5 in September and it has been reported that the new iPhone will be released in the middle of 2013.

BERKELEY, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Chief Executive Tim Cook has said that Apple Inc. will move some of its offshore manufacturing back into the U.S. This is good news for the local economies and will give Apple better control over its own products. Some people think this is a bad idea for many reasons, not the least of which is a condemnation of the American workforce. Yes, it’s true. Americans, who by all accounts are the most productive in the world, still would actually like to be paid actual money for their labor and effort. It’s beyond me why anyone would work 40-60 hours a week and not do it for free or for $25. But it is a fact that Apple (US:AAPL) has to deal with now. On a visit to China around 1997 I was at a keyboard manufacturing plant where the weekly pay was exactly $25 (I have to assume that by now it has gone up to $26) and I learned a few things. First, I was not going to be shown any sort of sweat shop of the sort I saw years earlier in Hong Kong before the PRC took over the place an ...

Apple achieved widespread success with its iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad products, which introduced innovations in mobile phones, portable music players and personal computers respectively. In addition, the implementation of a store for the purchase of software applications represented a new business model. Touch screens had been invented and seen in mobile devices before, but Apple was the first to achieve mass market adoption of such a user interface that included particular pre-programmed touch gestures. Delivering his keynote speech at the Macworld Expo on January 9, 2007, Jobs announced that Apple Computer, Inc. would from that point on be known as Apple Inc., because computers were no longer the main focus of the company, which had shifted its emphasis to mobile electronic devices. The event also saw the announcement of the iPhone and the Apple TV.[91] The following day, Apple shares hit $97.80, an all-time high at that point. In May, Apple's share price passed the $100 mark.[92] In an article posted ...

Apple Inc. (AAPL) said the iPhone 5 posted record sales in its first weekend of availability in China, the world’s largest mobile-phone market by users. Apple sold more than 2 million of its latest handsets in the three days following its Dec. 14 introduction in the country, Apple said in a statement today. Carolyn Wu, a Beijing- based spokeswoman for Apple, said she didn’t have comparable data to release on initial sales in China of previous models. Apple fell to its lowest price in 10 months on Dec. 14 after Steven Milunovich, an analyst at UBS AG in New York, cut his price estimate for the shares, citing concern that growth may slow for the iPhone and iPad. The iPhone 5 may not sell as well as the previous model in China, Milunovich said in a report. The China sales are part of the fastest iPhone roll-out yet, with the device scheduled for introduction in 100 countries by Dec. 31, Apple said in today’s statement. “Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible,” Apple’s Chief Ex ...

Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s patents behind the pinch-to-zoom, bounce-back and multitouch features of its iPhone aren’t invalid, at least not yet. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s initial rejections in recent weeks were consistent with a process in which most patents challenged over the past three decades, including ones rejected at some point, survived in original or modified forms, according to data compiled by the office. That process can take years. In the meantime, Apple’s patents will be considered valid and enforceable in the global smartphone-patent litigation among it, Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) and Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Motorola Mobility unit. “The Apple patents have not been held to be invalid by a court, and certainly not by an appellate court, so they are still enforceable,” said Robert Resis of Banner & Witcoff in Chicago, who’s not involved in the case. “Just because there’s an action going on in the patent office doesn’t render them unenforceable.” The biggest pra ...

I spent many, many hours over the past two days trying to fix a connection problem between my iPhone and my laptop and multiple hours today on the phone with Apple support. I am so happy that a wonderful customer service rep, Jay (sp?) from Denver, took a great deal of time and with a last ditch effort, helped to fix my connection problem and saved the day!! Thanks, Jay @ Apple Inc.!! Good customer service is so rare these days, don't you think? It's reassuring to find it in a large company--or in any company!

Apple's iPhone 5 starts strong in China but shares pressured REUTERS - Apple Inc sold more than 2 million iPhone 5s in China in just three days after its launch there on Friday, its best ever smartphone launch in the country, but Apple shares fell on Monday after Citi downgraded the stock. The highly anticipated release in China, Apple's second-biggest market, has not eased worries about stiffer competition in mobile devices that has driven a slide in the share price of the world's most valuable technology company. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said last week that Apple had started cutting orders to iPhone suppliers to balance excess inventory. Sales of Amazon.com Inc's cheaper Kindle Fire tablets have also surged this year and rival Microsoft Corp recently forayed into the market with its Surface. Apple shares have fallen on seven of the last 10 trading days, with several analysts cutting their price targets on the company's stock. The shares were down 1.3 percent at $502.76 in early trading on the Nasda ...

NEWS IN LIME LIGHT Gold futures continued their losing ways, falling modestly in Monday's Asian session as U.S. policymakers continued discussing the fiscal cliff.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The China release of its iPhone 5 on Friday should win Apple Inc some respite from a recent slide in its share of what is likely already the world's biggest smartphone market, but its longer-term hopes may depend on new technology being tested by China's top telecoms carrier.

Nearly three months after the Google Maps mobile app was kicked off the iPhone in favor of Apple Inc.'s own mapping software, Google Inc. released a downloadable version of the app, spelling relief for many Apple users who had complained about the switch.

U.S. agency giving RIM another shot by testing new BlackBerry: Reuters * ICE to test BB10 platform and devices - spokeswoman * Agency had recently outlined plans to move to iPhone * RIM shares rally to a seven-month high on Nasdaq, TSX A U.S. federal agency is set to trial Research In Motion's new BlackBerry 10 smartphone after recently ditching the brand in favor of Apple Inc's iPhone, in a boost for the embattled Canadian company. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), will begin early next year a pilot program on RIM's new line of BlackBerry 10 phones and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 (BES 10), which allows firms and government agencies to run the new devices on their networks, an RIM spokeswoman said late on Wednesday. The news comes just as RIM's shares rallied to their highest close in seven months and signals that the new make-or-break devices are beginning to gain some traction ahead of their official launch next month. RIM, a one-time pioneer in the smartphone industry, has ...

Google Inc.’s Android is extending its lead over Apple Inc. in the mobile-software market at a rate that compares with Microsoft Corp.’s expansion in desktop software in the 1990s, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said.

Samsung Galaxy S4 may have unbreakable screen Samsung Electronics, the world's leading technology company by revenue, is likely accelerating the launch of its next-generation flagship Galaxy smartphone -- which may come with a breakthrough unbreakable screen. Codenamed "Project J" after mobile division chief JK Shin, development of the new Galaxy S IV could be aimed for release by as early as April, according to analysts and tech blogs. And, as smartphones increasingly look alike - the converging form factor - an unbreakable screen could be a big selling point for the Galaxy, which is battling Apple Inc's iPhone to lead the $200 billion plus smartphone market. The Galaxy S IV is also expected to have bigger and better display, powerful quad-core processing power and a 13-megapixel camera, with picture density improving to 441 pixels per inch (ppi), a big improvement from the Galaxy S III's 306 ppi and better than the iPhone 5's 326 ppi. "Looking to the first half of 2013, we see evidence of Samsung likely ...

Apple, Samsung spar in court, ruling to come... Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics squared off again in court on Thursday, as the iPhone maker tried to convince a US district judge to ban sales of a number of the South Korean company's devices and defended its $1.05 billion jury award. Apple scored a sweeping legal victory in August at the conclusion of its landmark case against its arch-foe, when a US jury found Samsung had copied critical features of the iPhone and iPad and awarded it damages.

Apple's ranking in China smartphone market falls to No.6 - IDC Hong Kong (Reuters) - Apple Inc's rank in China's smartphone market, which is set to become the world's largest this year, fell to No.6 in the third quarter as it faced tough competition from Chinese brands, research firm IDC said on Thursday. IDC's announcement comes a day after Apple's shares fell more than 6 percent on the Nasdaq, logging its biggest single-day loss in four years and losing $35 billion of its value, on concerns about rivals gaining ground in the mobile devices market. China, already the world's biggest mobile phone market, is seeing competition intensifying in its smartphone sector, with global and homegrown vendors trying to outgun one another in terms of price and features. Underscoring that, Nokia announced on Wednesday it is to partner China Mobile , the country's largest wireless carrier, in a sales deal that will give the Finnish company an opportunity to win back some Chinese market share from Apple's iPhone.

Google’s Explainer-in-Chief Can’t Explain Apple As Google Inc. battles rivals ranging from Apple Inc. to Internet companies that allege it fixes its search results, Eric Schmidt has become the search giant’s peacemaker and explainer-in-chief. Google’s former CEO and current executive chairman met with lawmakers in Washington last week as the Federal Trade Commission appeared closer to a decision on whether to file an antitrust suit against the company. In September, Mr. Schmidt was in South Korea to launch a new Google tablet and meet with Android partner Samsung Electronics Co. That trip included a pit stop to dance with PSY, the South Korean rapper whose “Gangnam Style” is the most viewed YouTube video of all time. Read the rest of this post on the original site »

Apple Inc. (AAPL) -4.93% is currently getting hammered today due to a margin increase on the stock by clearing house COR Clearing from 30% to 60%. Even though COR Clearing increased its margin, it is still not enough information to pinpoint the reason for Apple Inc.'s decline today. COR Clearing does not have substantial market share to have such a traumatic impact. Many other factors include technical analysis, taking profits ahead of possible tax rate increases, and financial markets in which short-term momentum trading reigns supreme will dictate how Apple's stock will perform. Once the "Fiscal Cliff" is resolved and based on the assumption that Apple Inc. blows away estimates on earnings in early 2013 will dictate where the stock will head. Apple Inc. is still a stellar company with great products coming out of the pipeline. Remember Apple Inc. has roughly $100 Billion in cash on hand!

FROM THE NEWSROOM: AP UPDATE NEW HAVEN, Conn.— Federal prosecutors say a trader from New York has been charged in a scheme that involved the unauthorized purchase of about $1 billion of Apple stock and wound up costing his Connecticut-based employer $5 million. The U.S. attorney's office in Connecticut said Tuesday that David Miller was charged with wire fraud. Authorities say Miller worked as an institutional sales trader for Stamford-based Rochdale Securities LLC. They say he executed a trade to buy 1.6 million shares of Apple Inc. stock on a day the company was scheduled to announce earnings. Prosecutors say the scheme was designed so Miller would profit if the stock price rose, but it declined. They say Miller falsely claimed he made a mistake in a client's order. Miller lives in Rockville Centre, N.Y., just east of New York City. His attorney has declined to comment.

Microsoft, Google secrets could be revealed during trial Microsoft and Google's Motorola Mobility unit are set to square off on Tuesday at a trial with strategic implications for the smartphone patent wars and which could reveal financial information the two companies usually keep under wraps. The proceeding in a Seattle federal court will determine how much of a royalty Microsoft Corp should pay Google Inc for a license to some of Motorola's patents. Google bought Motorola for $12.5 billion, partly for its library of communications patents. If US District Judge James Robart decides Google deserves only a small royalty, then its Motorola patents would be a weaker bargaining chip for Google to negotiate licensing deals with rivals. Apple Inc and Microsoft have been litigating in courts around the world against Google and partners like Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, which use the Android operating system on their mobile devices. Apple contends that Android is basically a copy of its iOS smartphone software, a ...

Apple Inc. (AAPL) settled all global lawsuits with HTC Corp. (2498), signaling a new willingness to resolve patent disputes without resorting to the “thermonuclear war” stance favored by co-founder Steve Jobs. Apple, which had accused HTC of copying features that made its iPhone unique, “will continue to stay laser-focused on product innovation,” Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in a statement yesterday with HTC, which surged as the companies announced a 10-year licensing deal. HTC had claimed the maker of iPads and MacBooks infringed wireless patents. Enlarge image In May, HTC said availability of its HTC One X, seen here, and HTC EVO 4G LTE handsets was delayed due to a U.S. customs review required after an exclusion order by the ITC.

I dont understand it at all:Samsung took up an option to renew its £15 million ($23.9 million) shirt sponsorship with Chelsea through 2015. Chelsea, which won the Champions League for the first time in May, signed a partnership agreement with the South Korean electronics maker in 2005. “Samsung have exercised their right to extend their deal which will see them remain as a premium partner of the club until the end of May 2015,” the London club said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. The contract started with Samsung paying £11 million per season as the company replaced Emirates airline on the front of Chelsea’s blue jerseys. That agreement was extended at £15 million five years later, and Samsung had until June 1 to take up its option to renew for a further three seasons. The shares of Samsung, which is also a sponsor of the Olympic Games, tumbled 7.5 percent on Aug. 27, a day after a U.S. jury verdict found that it copied Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPhone.

How about those Apples? Foxconn Mulls Detroit, Los Angeles for Factory Site November 9, 2012 @ 6:47 am Source: courtesy of Apple Sina News reports that Foxconn, which makes components for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) products among others, may open a factory in the United States. Among the sites being evaluated are Detroit and Los Angeles. Since labor is so cheap in China, it is hard to see why Foxconn would make such a decision and hurt its margins. One reason may be political. Foxconn’s labor abuses have been in the news almost every week. Apple probably is concerned about the reaction of American consumers, and whether these reactions eventually will hurt sales. A factory in America, particularly in a place as badly damaged by the drop in manufacturing jobs as Detroit, would help Foxconn’s image, even if there is a financial cost. The factory also would help silence the “China has taken American jobs overseas” movement. But the jobs that would be created in the U.S. may not be for highly skilled a ...
