Dell says PC business in danger from poor Windows 8 sales, low revenue
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
While some Dell investors have taken issue with CEO Michael Dell’s proposed plan to take his company private, an SEC filing has revealed some compelling reasons for investors to think twice about protesting the move. As noted by Forbes, a filing dated March 29th includes a lengthy section where Dell outlines the “risks and uncertainties” related to continued ownership of the company’s stock — it’s essentially a laundry list of how the consumer tech market has changed and how hasn’t quite managed to keep up.
Difficulties that Dell notes in its filing include:
- “…decreasing revenues in the market for desktop and notebook PCs and the significant uncertainties as to whether, or when, this decrease will end…”
- “…the overall…

Sony cornered by poor credit, issues convertible bonds to grow CMOS sensor business
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Sony is counting on the competitive market to raise cash for a brand-new development, the company announced yesterday. The plan is to raise 150 billion yen (about $ 1.9 billion) by selling 5-year convertible bonds, its very first such sale since 2003, reports Bloomberg. Of the cash, 60 billion will be used to buy CMOS image sensor production (different from its financial investment in June), yet another 60 billion will certainly pay back debts from its Gaikai and Olympus share purchases, and 30 billion will repay other bonds that are coming due next year.
Constrained by a low credit score
Last week, Moody & rsquo; s cut Sony & rsquo; s credit score to near-junk status and an expert at Fisco Ltd. postulated to Bloomberg that the company didn & rsquo; t have much of an option about the best ways to raise …

Sony outs Xperia Ion HSPA for poor 4G-lacking citizens (video)
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Sony Mobile casually dropped onto its website that in addition to the expected Xperia Ion flagship, it’s also releasing an Xperia Ion HSPA. The handset’s only readily apparent feature is its reduced modem, and in every other way looks to match its 4G-enabled brother, with a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 12-megapixel camera and Gingerbread. Whilst its designed to consume the same AT&T friendly frequencies, this one’s destined for a rest-of-the-world arrival to sate the lust of global Sony fans in countries where they do everything a little slower.

The EXOdesk Is A Poor Man’s Microsoft Surface, But It’s Still Dripping With Multitouch Awesomeness (Video)
Author: Rahul Gabe
Raise your hand if you want a Microsoft Surface for a desk? Everyone, right? Of course. It’s the hottest thing out of Redmond since this picture set. But they’re damn expensive. There’s no way I’d use one for my desk. I spilled coffee on my desk just 10 minutes ago. Instead, if I was a member of the 1%, I’d buy a Surface and hang it on the wall. So you know, it was safe from me and my offspring.
EXOpc has an alternative: the EXOdesk. It seems to have most of the Surface’s magic and it only costs $ 1,299. That’s within the price justification range of some of the 99 percenters!
The EXOdesk is set for a CES 2012 debut but the company just released this teaser video. Stick with it. The video gets exponentially more interesting. EXOpc says it will only cost $ 1,299 when it’s released next year. Of course they’re not stating the hardware chops of the screen or computer just yet. But it at least looks awesome. With the current Surface incarnation, the Sasmung SUR40, costing $ 8,400, the lower-priced EXOdesk seems like a fun device even if it’s not as capable. We’ll no doubt seek out the EXOdesk at CES but in the mean time check out the teaser below.

No Comments »Adobe CEO has no beef with Apple, no answer for poor Flash performance on Android (video)
Author: Sriram Reddy
The Adobe-Apple Flash war used to be one of the juiciest catfights around, but, much like two aging boxers, both sides now appear willing to act like adults put it all behind them. Speaking at yesterday’s D9 conference in Palos Verdes, California, Adobe head Shantanu Narayen confirmed that he and Steve Jobs have reached an unofficial armistice, bringing an end to their prolonged war of words. According to the CEO, Apple’s Flash issues stemmed from the company’s “business model,” rather than any legitimate concerns over quality. “It’s control over the app store that’s at issue here,” Narayen said, implying that Flash’s wide-ranging platform compatibility may not have jibed with the Cupertino ethos. He went on to remind moderator Walt Mossberg that developers can still use Adobe’s AIR software to get their products to the App Store, adding that his company is looking forward to the rise of HTML5 and “actively contributing” to its development.
Mossberg, meanwhile, seemed to blindside Narayen when he brought up Flash’s poor performance on Android devices. “I have yet to test a single one where Flash tests really well,” the columnist claimed. “I’m sorry, but it’s true.” Narayen sputtered a bit, before pointing to the BlackBerry PlayBook as an example of the progress that Flash has made. When Mossberg reminded him that the PlayBook doesn’t run on Android, the CEO not-so-subtly sidestepped the question by emptily declaring that Adobe’s mission is simply to provide people with the best tools to create content. Apparently satisfied with this non-answer, Mossberg changed the subject back to Apple, allowing Narayen to wax poetic about their new Pax Romana — and, perhaps, to breathe a sigh of relief. See the full interview after the break.

Arduino, magnet wire, and Android combine to create poor man’s NFC (video)
Author: Markus Smith
Jealous of your Nexus S-owning friends and their fancy NFC chips after yesterday’s Google Wallet announcement? Well tech tinkerer Joe Desbonnet has whipped up what he dubs “poor man’s NFC” using an Arduino, some magnet wire, and any compass-equipped Android smartphone (which is almost all of them). By placing a coil of wire on the phone and connecting it to the DIYer’s favorite microcontroller, Desbonnet was able to send data, albeit very slowly, to his HTC Desire running a special app to decode the signals. Granted, you’re probably not going to see American Eagle mod their point of sale systems to talk to your phone’s magnetometer, but it’s still a neat trick. In fact, we’d break out our Arduino right now to give it a try, but our secret lair is strangely devoid of enameled copper wire. Check out the source link for instructions, and don’t miss the video after the break.

NVIDIA CEO disappointed by Android tablet sales, blames pricing and poor app selection
Author: James Cliff
It won’t have escaped your attention that just about every Honeycomb tablet shipping in the first half of this year features, or will feature, NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 hardware. Unfortunately for NVIDIA, reception for the Android 3.0 slates has been a little underwhelming, and the company’s Chief Eloquence Officer, Jen-Hsun Huang, has had a few words to say about it. He sees the relative paucity of tablet-optimized Android apps as a weakness, while also expressing the belief that cheaper WiFi-only models should’ve been the standard shipping config rather than fully fledged 3G / 4G variants as Motorola has been pushing with the Xoom. All in all, his is a very sane and accurate analysis, but Mr. Huang loves to look to the future as much as he enjoys talking about the present, and in his opinion all these major downsides have already been “largely addressed” by “a new wave” of Android tablets. He doesn’t specify the devices that constitute said wave, but his emphasis on thinness and lightness leads us to believe he’s talking up Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9 models. Hit the source links to read more from the bronzed stallion in charge of NVIDIA.

No Comments »Logitech’s ‘disappointing’ Q4 results not helped by poor Revue sales; will cut price to $249
Author: Mark Jeffries
There wasn’t much good news for Logitech investors when the company revealed its results for the financial fourth quarter, as it fell far below targets for sales and revenue. Most of the blame went towards weak performance in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but it also suffered from far lower than expected sales of the Google TV-powered Revue and its accessories, accounting for only $ 5 million in sales, down from $ 22 million the quarter before and short of its estimate of $ 18 million. Beyond fixing its issues overseas, CEO Gerald Quindlen still sees a future where internet connected TVs follow a similar path to smartphones and cited the next generation of Google TV as a major opportunity. Starting in May, the company will cut the price of the Revue to $ 249 (which is still at least $ 50 too high) and plans to “re-accelerate” its marketing at “the appropriate time” — probably sometime after Google I/O and the addition of the Android Market. As for that current hardware, both the Revue and the Sony Google TV products received unspecified “security updates” today, although Qriocity and Music Unlimited access remained offline on our Sony Internet TV unit. So let’s do the postmortem and guess what contributed to the low sales more: high prices, a half baked product or ads featuring a hairy-legged TV and Kevin Bacon?

Google makes rich richer, poor poorer in search results
Author:
If you’ve been paying attention to the state of search as of late, you’ll know that Google’s between a proverbial rock and hard place right now. Some individuals and companies claim Mountain View’s beloved search engine is losing to the spammers, squatters, scrapers and content farms by failing to weed them from the system — though you can now do that on your own — while others say it’s squashing the little guy by unfairly downranking competitors in search results. We’re not sure if either is truly the case, the company’s made a mildly controversial move this week: it’s tweaked the search algorithms to “reduce rankings for low-quality sites,” and “provide better rankings for high-quality” ones. As ever, Mountain View’s not talking about what that change mathematically entails, though it says about 11.8 percent of queries will be affected as a result. In short: some will be happy, some sad, some angry, and many won’t notice at all.
