I love how they've spent hundreds of millions on a "grass roots" campaign to
reform their image, and here their lawyers undo that work in a PDF.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Longtime Massachusetts senator, John Kerry, has
been tapped
by the
Obama administration to replace Hillary Clinton as
Secretary of State. His
all-but-inevitable assumption of
this position creates a vacancy that will be
filled by a
designated replacement, to be chosen by Governor Deval
Patrick,
until a special election in May.
Until then, residents of the bay state will
endure an
acrimonious and nationally relevant political campaign for
the third
time since 2010.
The race is a potentially interesting one, with
high-profile
names mulling runs on both sides.
For the Democrats, popular
U.S. Attorney for the District of
Massachusetts, Carmen Ortiz has formed an
exploratory
committee.

It seems that Anonymous didn't like the whole Aaron Swartz. I certainly don't
agree with their methods, but I sympathise with their goals. Google Operation
Anonymous Last Resort (it should be hitting most news sites about now, so you'll
get to hear commentary of whatever color you favor). The video they posted on
Youtube certainly speaks well of their PR guys.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Heather Bellini with Goldman Sachs:
Bellini has one of the
lowest estimates for
Surface of the group: 230,000
units
Quote:
"Bellini has one of the lowest estimates for Surface
of the
group: 230,000 units, which she estimates in part because
Microsoft’s
73.5% gross profit margin was higher than the
Street consensus of
73%:"
Based on IDC’s view of PC shipment growth
coupled with our
estimated inventory build in the quarter
(which we think benefitted them by
roughly 6 points yoy) we
estimate Microsoft generated roughly $140mn in
Surface RT
related revenue in the quarter, which assuming they all sold
with a
keyboard and thus had an average price point of $580
would yield
approximately 230,000 units. --- RMS: The 4 Freedoms

For his work online, Syrian software engineer
Bassel Khartabil was arrested and tortured — and he could be executed in the
coming weeks by security forces in the troubled country. --- The
