Samsung seeks US probe of rival Sharp

Samsung Electronics Co. said Thursday it filed a complaint with American authorities over alleged unfair trade practices by Japanese rival Sharp Corp., fueling an intensifying legal battle over flat panel technology.

Samsung said in a statement that it filed the complaint with the United States International Trade Commission on Dec. 21, claiming that Sharp and two U.S. subsidiaries imported and sold liquid crystal display products that infringe on four of Samsung's U.S. patents.

The complaint came after Sharp earlier this month sued Samsung in a South Korean court, also alleging patent violations for LCDs. It demanded damages and a halt to manufacturing and sales of affected TVs and display panels.

In August, Sharp filed a similar lawsuit against Samsung in federal court in the U.S. state of Texas. Samsung said Thursday it was pursuing federal lawsuits in Texas and Delaware against Sharp.

The string of lawsuits between the two companies — two of the world's biggest makers of LCD panels — highlight the bruising competition to develop better technology for products like hot-selling flat screen TVs.

Technology unites kin, GIs on holidays

Wendy Derkits stood in front of the camera to deliver a holiday message thousands of miles away. She wanted to tell her husband at war that she loved him and wish him a Merry Christmas, but with the camera running and people watching, her words were replaced by tears.

Hours later, she sat in her living room trying to figure out how to tell her Marine husband what she wanted him to hear.

So she set up her own video camera and just started to talk, telling him everything a wife tells a husband: about their children, the family, their Christmas plans. She showed him the house, the tree and the decorations.

"It was an hour of nothingness. But it was me, normal. Me, everyday. He doesn't need to remember me sad and crying. That's not what he needs. He needs regular me," said Derkits, 24, of Oceanside.

For some Marines and soldiers, this is their first Christmas away from family. For others, it is a second, third or fourth missed holiday season — a reality of a country at war.

But unlike wars past, nearly every deployed military personnel will have an opportunity to connect with loved ones: From sending Christmas wishes in a video message to participating in a two-way videoconference or using a Web cam.

Software maker Oracle churns out profit

The economy may be sputtering, but Oracle Corp. is still hitting on all cylinders. Brushing aside worries about a possible slowdown in the technology sector, Oracle soared well beyond analyst expectations in its fiscal second quarter and raised hopes for a strong start in 2008 with an upbeat forecast.

The results released late Wednesday drove up Oracle's stock price by more than 6 percent.

Now the big question is whether Oracle's performance and bullish outlook should be interpreted as a positive sign for the entire technology industry.

Some analysts aren't ready to leap to the conclusion, reasoning that Oracle is simply outsmarting and out-hustling its competition. "It would be inappropriate to think that just because Oracle is doing well, the rest of the industry is too," said Cowen and Co. analyst Peter Goldmacher.

IRobot gets $286M Army robotics contract


IRobot Corp. won a $286 million contract to supply the U.S. Army with bomb-disarming robots, wresting the deal from a smaller rival that iRobot claimed stole its trade secrets.

Shares of iRobot rose nearly 4 percent after Tuesday's announcement of a deal to supply up to 3,000 of a new, smaller and lighter version of iRobot's track-wheeled PackBot. The contract also requires iRobot to provide spare parts, training and repair services over five years.

After rising as high as $19.50 Tuesday morning, shares of iRobot were up 68 cents to $17.87 at midday.

Burlington-based iRobot, which also makes consumer robots such as Roomba vacuum cleaners, said it would immediately deliver the first 101 robots to the Army for rapid deployment.

IRobot already has delivered more than 1,200 PackBots, which have disarmed roadside bombs and searched caves and buildings in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some scout dangerous areas before soldiers or emergency responders go in.

News of the day: About 1 in 5 IBM employees now in India

IBM Corp.'s expansion in developing countries shows no sign of relenting. The technology company revealed Friday that it now has 73,000 employees in India, almost a 40 percent leap from last year.

IBM did not provide updated figures for its work force in the U.S., which has held steady around 125,000 people in recent years.

Nor did IBM project its total head count. It had 355,766 employees worldwide at the end of 2006.

If the total has risen by the same rate as in 2006, almost one in five IBM workers now is in India, its second-largest center.

Like many other technology providers, IBM has rushed to take advantage of the lower labor costs India offers even for highly skilled workers. IBM's base in India numbered only 9,000 people in 2003, but it was about 53,000 last year.

An eel to light a Christmas tree??!!

Japan eel wishes you an electric Christmas

Not even a blackout could put a damper on festivities at one Japanese aquarium where an electric eel is being used to light up its Christmas tree.

Two aluminum panels inside the eel's tank work as electrodes to catch its power. Cables attached to the panels supply the lights on the nearby tree with electricity.

Inventor Kazuhiko Minawa said it took him more than a month to devise a system that would effectively harness eel power.

"If we could gather all electric eels from all around the world, we would be able to light up an unimaginably giant Christmas tree," Minawa told Reuters Television.

**footnote**

I really thought that this was the REAL EEL, haha. I was even imagining that they had probably trained the eel..haha, I was so silly. Nice idea though..

IBM wins order from Vodafone's India arm

Vodafone's Indian joint venture is transferring all of its information technology-related work to IBM Corp. under a 5-year contract that will reduce costs and improve services, the company said Monday.

The company did not disclose the deal's value, but IBM said a similar contract earlier this year from Idea Cellular, whose network and subscriber base is half that of Vodafone Essar Ltd., is expected to be worth between $600 million and $800 million over 10 years.

Vodafone Essar is India's fourth-largest cellular phone company, in which the British company acquired a controlling stake for $10.9 billion in May.

Mo. police probe blog in Web hoax case

A woman linked to an online hoax played on a 13-year-old girl who committed suicide and has been vilified for it may be the subject of a deception — someone on the Internet is posing as her and blogging about the case.

Lori Drew's attorney said Friday that she is not the writer. The St. Charles County sheriff's department is investigating who is behind the blog postings on Blogger.com to see if a crime has been committed, a spokesman said.

The family believes the postings are an effort to damage its reputation following the death of the Megan Meier.

"Any Internet message that purports to be a member of the Drew family is being managed by an impostor and undoubtedly is being done for the purpose of further damaging the Drews' reputation," the family said in a statement.

NYC doorman suspended for bad breath

A Manhattan doorman has been suspended for having bad breath. Jonah Seeman, who has been ushering tenants into a four-building complex on East 89th Street for 40 years, was told not to come to work Friday because of halitosis.

Seeman said he has stopped eating garlic, uses mouthwash and takes breath mints on the job.

The Brooklyn resident, who supports his 81-year-old mother, has been suspended twice before for bad breath — one day in May and then again in July.

Apartment dwellers at the Gracie Gardens complex expressed surprise over Seeman's suspension and came to his defense.

Record-size spitting cobra found in Kenya

A new species of giant spitting cobra, measuring nearly nine feet and possessing enough venom to kill at least 15 people, has been discovered in Kenya, a conservation group said on Friday.

WildlifeDirect said the cobras were the world's largest and had been identified as unique. The species has been named Naja Ashei after James Ashe, who founded Bio-Ken snake farm on Kenya's tropical coast where the gigantic serpents are found.

"A new species of giant spitting cobra is exciting and reinforces the obvious -- that there have to be many other unreported species but hundreds are being lost as their habitats disappear under the continued mismanagement of our planet," said the group's chairman, Kenyan environmentalist Richard Leakey.

Getting an insurance is very important!

Getting a life insurance is VERY important, even health insurance, Home insurance, Car insurance or any insurances that can help us especially in times of need. Accidents and incidents happen in a snap and if we don't have insurance, who will help us to pay those unexpected bills?

When I needed a wisdom teeth extraction, we only paid (out of the pocket) 20% of the total bill because we have a dental insurance that took care of most of the bills. So if you don't have any insurances why not get one. It's easy to apply and you know for sure that you need to protect your family.

Economy may slow tech industry's growth

Weakness in the U.S. economy figures to take a bite out of the technology industry's growth rate in 2008, when analysts expect tech spending to slow around the world.

The picture is not exactly dire: A forecast released Thursday by analyst firm IDC calls for the worldwide information-technology market to grow 5.5 percent to 6 percent in 2008, the lower end of what has become a usual range. In the U.S., the market is expected to expand 3 percent to 4 percent.

Those growth rates are softer than this year's 6.9 percent worldwide expansion and 6.6 percent growth in the U.S., according to IDC.

Just a few months ago, IDC was expecting the U.S. tech market to grow 5.5 percent in 2008. The company pushed its estimate down to 3 percent to 4 percent as the mortgage crisis heightened and rising high oil prices enhanced the prospect of a recession next year, IDC senior researcher Frank Gens Sr. said.

Our tech guide for today: Hands-on with the Xbox 360 Fall Update

First, let's tackle the IPTV news. We first heard way back in January that Microsoft wanted to turn the Xbox 360 into an set-top box for watching and recording TV shows over the Net, but then...silence. Now we're hearing that with the fall update, the 360's IPTV functionality is ready on our end—unfortunately, we won't be able to use it until local IPTV providers roll out Xbox support on their respective sides, and there's no telling when that's going to happen.

(And indeed, many of us—myself included—don't have a local IPTV operator at all.) Still, a lucky few will eventually be able to watch and record shows using their Xbox 360s, as well as accept gaming requests while watching a show, then come back and pick up the program where they left off once the fragging is done. Nice. (Check out Engadget for screenshots of the 360's IPTV service in action.)

America's 1st Online Mortgage Auction Web Site

If you think like you needed an immediate money but will not compromise your budget during the payment's time, NameYourLoan.com, America's 1st Online Mortgage Auction can give you the best loan offer. This website is unique because they are offering the loans through auction. The process goes this way: Once you complete the application online, certified banks and lenders compete with one another and bid lower for a chance to win your application.

Take note that your SSN (Social Security Number) will not be divulge as the website doesn't require for that. Also the best thing about this is that, the application and auction is held online so there are no annoying phone calls for you.

Give the website a chance now and who knows this website will be a great help for you.

Here's the press release of this ad:

In today’s tough lending environment, littered with deceitful lenders and cunning tactics, it’s high time for a revolutionary tool that can empower borrowers yet still benefit lenders. NameYourLoan.com has answered the need with the launch of a new online mortgage auction site designed to give consumers access to an increasing mortgage lenders network to ultimately obtain great online mortgage loans. “For centuries, auctions have been the most efficient and effective way to get the best deals in everything,” says Al Salahi, President and CEO of NameYourLoan.com. “Why not have auctions for all mortgage loan types?”

NameYourLoan.com is an online community where borrowers can easily connect with the best mortgage lenders. Lenders compete with one another in an online auction to win the borrower’s business. As numerous lenders submit loan offers, the site enables consumers to see “apples to apples”, compare mortgage interest rates and achieve the lowest rate mortgage online such as the best home equity loan rate or home refinance loan.

The site’s sophisticated computer system compiles and calculates all the information submitted by lenders (interest rates, points, fees, terms, etc.) and then ranks loan offers, based on their true worth relative to the borrower’s stated preferences (lowest rate, lowest fees or best combination of rates and fees). This simplified process gives borrowers a coherent presentation of information without having to do the math themselves.

Unlike other online mortgage comparison shopping services, only those lenders who come out at the top of the auction with the lowest interest rates and fees get a chance at the borrower’s business. Moreover, borrowers can invite their friend or relative lender to participate in the borrower’s auction quickly and without cost. Lenders who refuse to participate are most likely high priced and not the best mortgage lenders.

“Through advanced technology, we are starting to make haggling and deceptive lending tactics a thing of the past,” explains Salahi. “At the same time, we are transforming a generally stressful and complicated process into a very pleasant and easy experience for borrowers. Our multiple bid auction format, coupled with constant consumer feedback, will make it easy for us to weed out dishonest lenders—and hopefully put them out of business!”

Use of NameYourLoan.com is completely free for borrowers. Borrowers are under no obligation to accept any of the online mortgage loans offered in the auction. To protect against identity theft and fraud, site users are never asked for sensitive information, and lenders that receive multiple consumer complaints will be barred from future auctions.
For more information, visit NameYourLoan.com.

HDTVs Growing to Epic Size This Season

Jumbo sets are flooding the market this year. Sony has 20 models measuring 40 inches or larger in LCD alone, now making up 68 percent of the company's TV lineup, according to the Wall Street Journal. And Sony, like everyone else, is hoping you'll go big: At $1,273, the average 40-inch TV offers substantially better profit margin than a $763 32-inch set (in part because there is less competition in bigger sets from budget brands like Olevia and Westinghouse). The goal is obviously that you'll get sucked into jumping up a size or two when you see the difference in the stores.

Still, prices are dropping, just not as much: 12 percent on average this year for LCD sets. As well, technology continues to improve, with focus on deeper blacks, faster response times, and even lighter and thinner screens. Interestingly, Sharp says it can now fit a 42-inch screen into its old 40-inch frame because there's less wasted space around the edges.

Winners, losers and more: Breathing room

- What a day in the McCown family. As Josh McCown guided the Oakland Raiders to their second straight victory, a 34-20 win over the Denver Broncos, younger brother Luke was involved in a back-and-forth battle with the New Orleans Saints. Luke, who made a few crucial mistakes – including a pick-six in the third quarter – capped an eight-play drive with a four-yard scoring pass to Jerramy Stevens with 14 seconds left during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 27-23 victory. Tampa Bay now is three games up on the Saints and Panthers.

- Dick Jauron will not win coach of the year honors, but has anyone won more with less this season? The Buffalo Bills have overcome tragedy, injuries and instability at quarterback and are still in the playoff mix – in the AFC.
