Maybe these will help the research?

Apple shares down 11% on after hours trading . Why? Revenue
up 18% from last year to $54.5B, a 1% shortfall from the
so-called
analysts' expectation of $55B. Tighter margins meant a drop of $0.06
(0.4%) to $13.81 net income per share.
iPhones sales of 47.8M units 29% up
on last year, but under analysts' predicted 48M. 22.9M iPads, under the 23M
expected.
9to5mac reveals the telling figure of an 18% drop from
5.2M to 4.1M Mac computers sold. So what does
this mean for
Android? Nothing! What we do know is the next few months will
be really
exciting as Android pushes their massive quad-core 1080p HD assult around the
same time as iPhone 5S rumors
start to leak. Folks like Samsung will probably
beat them to market, and the summer will be an interesting one to say the
least.

Here's a call for participants, using the RECAP Firefox extension to finish
releasing the PACER documents into the Public Domain.
Note, the limitations on how many articles that any one individual may download
per quarter. Stay under that and share the articles, as per Fair-Use, and we all
benefit.

| BBC Well-deserved,
but why were their earlier offences such as the infamous rootkit not
prosecuted? Now when is the ICO going to crack down on the very biggest
offender, whose all-pervasive security holes in their vile OS are the cause of
most hacks? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| If you consider NetApplications' data set, then Linux owns only about 1 percent
of the desktop OS market and Windows has almost 92 percent. But if you consider
all computing platforms, including mobile, than Windows has only 20 percent and
Linux has 42 percent - and that would be in the form of Google's Android
alone.
Linux Now Has "Double" the Market Share of Windows

In the UK, a Cambridgeshire based media group has been found to be guilty of
tax avoidance by using Hollywood style accounting to lower their reported profits and
hence payable tax. Although the intention appears to have been more in line
with Hollywood to avoid paying the workers more:
"What we would
like to do is to be able to reduce reported profits in the newspaper
subsidiaries, since the levels of profit become common knowledge and could lead
to union claims...
[email from the then Finance Director to their
Accountants - BBC Radio 4's PM program tonight named Ernst & Young as being
sought for advice on hiding the large profits; also stated to be their
Auditors...]
they still got clobbered on the tax issue. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| Software patents 'a bit of a mess' says Martin Goetz, the
first man to get one
The man who was awarded the first software patent
says that he thinks the field is now
"a big mess" - but that he "hopes it
will get straightened out in time".

Worker fired about six years ago for raising safety concerns about
Securaplane Technologies Inc. and its chargers for the highly flammable
lithium-ion batteries at the heart of the probe
The U.S. National
Transportation Safety Board is looking at issues raised by more than one
whistleblower as it investigates battery failures that have grounded the global
fleet of 50 Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliners for a week.
Michael Leon, one of the
whistleblowers, said he spoke with an NTSB investigator this week and gave him
extensive materials about his claim that he was fired around six years ago for
raising safety concerns about Securaplane Technologies Inc., an Arizona company
that makes chargers for the highly flammable lithium-ion batteries at the heart
of the probe.
In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday and in earlier court
papers, Leon said Securaplane was rushing to ship chargers that by his
assessment did not conform to specifications and could have malfunctioned.
A
federal administrative judge later dismissed Leon's complaints after concluding
he was fired for repeated misconduct, according to court documents. The Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) concluded that the pieces of equipment he
complained about were never installed in the aircraft, as they were
prototypes.
Leon appealed the federal court's ruling in 2011, but no
decision has been reached.
Now the NTSB is taking a closer look at some
safety concerns people have previously raised as part of a widening
investigation by U.S., Japanese and French authorities into two 787 battery
failures this month.

| "Laser cooling of semiconductors by annihilating excitations
A visible-light
laser rapidly cools some semiconductors by 40 degrees.
The process of
cooling materials to cryogenic temperatures is often expensive and messy. One
successful method is laser cooling, where photons interact with the atoms in
some way to dampen their motion. While laser cooling of gases has been standard
procedure for many years, solids are another issue entirely. Success has only
come with a few specially prepared materials.
Having a laser annihilate
something isn't usually associated with chilling anything down. But a new
experiment reduced the temperature of a semiconductor by about 40°C using a
laser."
