Apple tripling its iPad lineup in January? Not so fast

The previous give details from Taiwanese tech-news place DigiTimes--which already had a shaky reputation instead of accuracy--claimed with the aim of Apple was planning to expose two contemporary iPad models by the side of subsequently month's Macworld|iWorld union in the sphere of San Francisco, a reveal Apple hasn't keynoted since 2009.

With the aim of same give details claimed Apple would persist to persuade somebody to buy the iPad 2, stretching its lineup to three changed models. Since the iPad's introduction in the sphere of 2010, Apple has just to be had a single version by the side of a period.

"These rumors are completely false," wrote The Loop's Jim Dalrymple, a well-sourced Apple commentator, in the sphere of a advertise this afternoon. "I checked with a amount of my sources at the moment and an iPad 3 is not considered instead of delivery by the side of Macworld. In the sphere of legal action you're wondering, an iPad 3 won't be present released by the side of CES either."

Dalrymple additionally rebuffs suggestions with the aim of an Apple-made television hardheaded would be present introduced by the side of either reveal. Such a move would be present a great big disturb, certain latest reports pegging some on the cards delivery of with the aim of unannounced artifact in the vicinity of the conclusion of the time by the side of the most basic.

Combination Dalrymple, Apple Insider assumed the DigiTimes give details was "immediately questionable.," with rival place Macrumors calling the Macworld portion of the give details "harder-to-believe." illustrious in the sphere of both is with the aim of the DigiTimes story echoes claims made by tech place The Verge earlier this time, aphorism Apple was working on a high-end "HD" pattern with the aim of would be present sold alongside the iPad 2, something with the aim of may well still approach to final result.

What did you say? Apple adds to its third-generation tablet, and as soon as it resolve be present unveiled is of precise draw your attention this period around. The artifact is single of the a small number of with the aim of Apple has announced and launched following the feast season--the iPad 2 went on vending in the sphere of first protest march of this time, while the formerly iPad launched in the sphere of April the time by.

Further on of the DigiTimes give details, a story barred of Focus Taiwan survive week claimed with the aim of Apple's delivery schedule may well be present crawling back a trace closer to the introduction of the time this period around, with suppliers clamoring to delivery a third-generation pattern in the vicinity of the conclusion of February. This, the give details assumed, was all to coincide with the birthday of minute Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

Apple declined to comment.

HP Canada removes channel chief position

While Hewlett-Packard Co. Canada (NYSE: HPQ) spirit nix longer give birth to a traditional channel chief, the preceding person to suspend so as to station insists so as to on behalf of partners, the support and route to sell hasn't untouched.
At the same time as part of a current restructuring, John Cammalleri spirit nix longer suspend the station of vice-president of the solution giver organization. As a replacement for of lone channel chief on behalf of HP Canada, so as to task spirit right away reside surrounded by both of HP Canada's focal small business units, such at the same time as the delicate systems cluster (PSG), imaging and printing cluster (IPG) and endeavor servers, storage space and networking cluster (ESSN). Cammalleri is taking task on behalf of the reseller small business in the field of PSG, at the same time as well at the same time as the route to sell on behalf of the little and medium-sized small business segment.
“The strategy is to create much tighter linkages relating the end-user sales organization and the SMB channel organization, as you really can't separate the partner from the SMB small business,” whispered Cammalleri, noting 98 for each cent of HP Canada's SMB revenue comes through the channel. “It's really in the region of a singular way in the field of which you liveliness to sell.”
In the field of provisos of HP's channel support make up, Cammalleri stressed the route to sell hasn't really untouched. The item for consumption groups give birth to forever had task on behalf of the channel route to sell, and all channel support has forever been ended by the small business company level. And, the channel marketing organization ran by Heather Kent, partner development and programs executive, remains housed surrounded by PSG at the bottom of the channel across the organization so a unfailing marketing and enablement tactic is delivered to partners.
Kent renowned HP increased its investment in the field of partner support and enablement in the field of 2011, and is anticipating a new 10 for each cent grow in the field of investment in the field of 2012.
“How partners engage with HP hasn't untouched,” whispered Kent. “There's nix contact on partners other than the benefit of greater alignment to the sales organization in the field of the SMB hole.”
The removal of the channel chief role mirrors changes at the same time as HP Americas, anywhere the channel chief role was eliminated similar to Stephen DiFranco missing the channel chief role to run the PSG Americas small business. In the field of Canada, HP has fashioned a channel control team to liveliness into the details of how accounts are being covered, and to ensure the channel is being supported in the field of a unfailing way.
The restructuring spirit be present a helpful development if it course additional of an in-depth focus from HP channel reps into both small business company whispered David Reid, president and president of Epic in order Solutions, an HP small business partner from Winnipeg. Reid renowned so as to HP has had at odds programs on behalf of a few schedule, so the the leadership coins is really additional administrative and shouldn't mean a large coins on behalf of as a rule partners.
“We deal with all three small business units and once it was entirely lone small business executive layer all three, they couldn't drill very deep into a few lone area,” whispered Reid. “Having three partner managers spirit be present fine. I think it spirit be present additional operational.”

Sony PIX’s Chicks on Flicks make home on Facebook

‘Chicks on Flicks’, the Hollywood film periodical let somebody see on Sony PIX which went inedible air a a small number of months back, is back. But this moment in time, as a substitute of the television screen, the let somebody see is switching mediums and bidding stay on Facebook.

Citing the grounds behind opting in lieu of Facebook in lieu of ‘Chicks on Flicks’, Sunder Aaron, question have control over, PIX, assumed, “In an age everywhere youngsters are constantly hooked on to social networking sites, ‘Chicks on Flicks’ may possibly not retain had a better platform. The let somebody see bidding as well stay very current since reviews bidding stay shared the same day of the week to the same extent the theatrical publish of the films through Facebook. This just starting out season of ‘Chicks on Flicks’ is very special to us and we are very proud to share it with our viewers.”

The just starting out avatar of ‘Chicks on Flicks’ allows audiences to work together with the two hosts via Facebook. It is as well well-situated since the reviews are untaken online and need not stay followed on television by the side of a fixed moment in time and day of the week.

Commenting on the marketing strategy, Himmat Butalia, Marketing have control over, PIX, assumed, “We are going away to brand an effort on Facebook. Along with with the intention of we bidding as well retain stamp ads. These stamp ads would appear on the partition of persons public who retain not liked Sony PIX’s folio, with the intention of way they would go to know in relation to ‘Chicks on Flicks’.”

Sony PIX feels with the intention of going away on Facebook is the fastest way to communicate with its fans regarding the periodical of a film. The let somebody see went inedible air to the same extent the movies were released on a Friday, but ‘Chicks on Flicks’ would walk off on air merely the following Friday with a specific film’s periodical, which made thumbs down wisdom in lieu of the channel.

IBM Off To The Races With New Memory Tech

The computer chip heads by the side of IBM's seek and Microelectronics divisions maintain had a taken week, viewing inedible their fresh remembrance and computing toys by the side of the IEEE's International Electron policy discussion in the sphere of Washington, D.C., carry on week. A little of the computer chip equipment with the aim of immense Blue was viewing inedible to its peers is far dazed into the opportunity, but it may well conclusion up in the sphere of systems quicker than you might think.

The same as you old AS/400 shops are well aware, IBM used to progress to its own remembrance chips and CD-ROM drives in favor of its systems and with the aim of remembrance was designed and fabbed in the sphere of the same Rochester, Minnesota, labs someplace the AS/400 and its forebears were all born. The magnetoresistive CD-ROM heads and super-dense CD-ROM platters came dazed of Rochester in the AS/400 C run generation, and so did dense DRAM key remembrance back in the sphere of the D run generation. (I used to maintain single of these chips, which I think was single of the at the outset 1Mbit chips continually, on my desk, but I maintain rebuff suspicion someplace it went). IBM in addition figured dazed how to stack up cheaper DRAM chips in the sphere of twos and fours with AS/400 and iSeries tackle back by the side of the dawn of occasion so it may well progress to super-dense remembrance cards dazed of relatively low-cost DRAM chips. IBM still knows a point or else two more or less remembrance, the same as evidenced by its L1 and L2 caches in the sphere of its mainframe and Power Systems processors and the embedded DRAM (eDRAM) with the aim of it position into the Power7 and z10 processors carry on time.

Perhaps other importantly in favor of a fresh remembrance equipment called Hybrid remembrance Cube (HMC), which is a fresh kind of 3D remembrance stacking formed by Samsung Electronics and Micron equipment, IBM has lots of expertise in the sphere of well ahead computer chip making and has approach up with a little breakthroughs with the aim of strength of character allow in favor of HMC memory--not to be present baffled with the Hardware Management Console in favor of Power Systems servers--to approach to marketplace.

Here's the suspicion behind 3D remembrance. If you stack up lots of plain-old DDR3 remembrance chips, link them as one vertically with a substrate of wires, snap a crossbar interconnect against folks wires to link the chips all as one, and interface them to a motherboard socket, after that you can run remembrance in the sphere of a other dense and analogous form than you can execute with standard 2D DDR3 remembrance modules and sockets now. By allowing remembrance access to run in the sphere of analogous across a ample car front-ended by with the aim of crossbar, you can run it slower and as a consequence generate a lesser amount of cook and still maintain a tremendous amount of bandwidth concerning the remembrance blocks and the processors with the aim of need the data on single region and the I/O systems with the aim of feed data into remembrance from the other region.

Under a deal with the aim of IBM cut out with Micron carry on week, the remembrance maker based in the sphere of Boise, Idaho strength of character be present licensing a little intellectual property with the aim of immense Blue cooked up to manufacture the linking wires in the sphere of the HCM lump, called Through Silicon Vias or else TSVs.IBM and Micron are not adage exactly what did you say? They maintain figured dazed, but they are made of copper and integrate well with the computer chip baking processes with the aim of Micron has in the sphere of its Idaho fabs. The same as part of the deal, IBM is in addition making the HMC logic circuits with the aim of realize the HMC crossbar and pinout to the motherboard, which strength of character be present implemented in the sphere of immense Blue's copper/high-k metal gate computer chip processes, which are implemented in the sphere of 32 nanometers. IBM strength of character progress to these logic circuits and push them to Micron, but it is Micron with the aim of strength of character be present making the DRAM and stacking it up with the TSVs and after that hooking the remembrance logic to the lump.

With HMC remembrance, a smidgen of data can be present transferred from remembrance to the CPU interconnect with more or less 70 percent a lesser amount of energy than with standard 2D DDR3 remembrance and an on-chip controller, and a regard office of key remembrance strength of character take up more or less one-tenth the hole. And for the reason that of the analogous nature of the interconnect concerning the HMC and the logic board, prototypes maintain been able to send 128 GB/sec of bandwidth dazed of the HMC lump, which compares quite auspiciously to the 12.8 GB/sec you can acquire dazed of a DDR3 remembrance stick running by the side of 1.33 GHz using a 2D configuration.

Micron expects to maintain HMC remembrance arrange in favor of marketplace by the succeeding partly of 2013, and head waiter makers are already lining up to see to it that how it might fit into their logic designs. Such super-dense, low-power remembrance modules are unquestionably crucial in favor of opportunity exascale supercomputers, but it remains to be present seen whilst it might appear in the sphere of broad-spectrum target servers like folks running net servers and databases.

IBM in addition thought carry on week by the side of the IEDM event with the aim of it has approach a smidgen closer to commercializing one more remembrance equipment, called racetrack remembrance.

I told you all more or less racetrack remembrance back in the sphere of January, and it is a actually funky equipment with the aim of promises remembrance densities with the aim of are other than two guidelines of magnitude better than CD-ROM areal density while by the side of the same occasion being other energy efficient and a lesser amount of expensive to progress to than explode remembrance. Disks move yet to be in excess of media to read data while tape moves media in excess of a stationary president to read it. Racetrack remembrance encodes data on zillions of nano-scale wires and uses spintronics to move the data up and down a sphere of wire the same as if it were a succinct part of a set of tape. But in the sphere of this legal action, the spintronics effect lone moves the data, not the wire, and it can execute it by the side of hundreds of miles an hour in excess of folks tiny wires. If you position a allotment of loops as one and a akin analogous access method and crossbar, you can progress to a very high-pitched bandwidth, low latency remembrance device.

With carry on week's notice by the side of IEDM, IBM was able to integrate the nanowires and the read and write down heads in favor of the loops, the same as well the same as the circuits with the aim of encode the data magnetically on the wire and depletion quantum-mechanical spin to move with the aim of data up and down the wire the same as if it were on a virtual part of a set of tape. Other importantly, IBM was able to fabricate the racetrack remembrance device, consisting of 256 racetracks, using standard CMOS processes on 200 millimeter wafers. The racetrack wires were more or less 150 nanometers ample, 20 nanometers thick, and 10 micrometers prolonged, which is pretty hefty by new circuit values. And as a consequence far, IBM is lone able to move single smidgen of data up and down the loops and needs to be present able to import lots of bits in favor of racetrack remembrance to be present practicable.

You'll see to it that HMC remembrance in the sphere of servers well or else racetrack remembrance.

Thinking way dazed into the opportunity, IBM's techies are in performance around with carbon nanotube transistors and thought carry on week by the side of IEDM with the aim of they were able to progress to a carbon nanotube transistor with channel lengths with the aim of were less significant than 10 nanometers, which is better than silicon-based computer chip fabbing equipment can execute. Heaven lone knows whilst we strength of character switch computers from silicon to carbon-based circuits.

EU to investigate Apple's e-book deals

The European Commission strength of character look by the side of deals concerning the US doodad giant and US publishing powerhouses Simon & Schuster and Harper Collins, Britain's Penguin, France's Hachette Livre and Germany's Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck.

Amelia Torres, the commission's competition orator, thought the prod would examine whether the agreements "had the objective or else effect of restricting competition and fixing the fee of e-books by the side of a high-pitched level in the sphere of Europe".

"This is an of great consequence circulation in favor of consumers, in favor of colonize like me and you who have a thing about to read books, plus on an electronic platform," Torres told a news briefing, adding together with the aim of the legal action strength of character be present treated the same as a carry some weight of priority.

Apple is in the sphere of a fierce battle in excess of the growing e-reader marketplace.

US online retail giant Amazon recently launched its Kindle tablet in the sphere of the United States in the sphere of September quotation $199, partly the fee of the iPad.

The opening of the prod follows render speechless raids in the sphere of stride by EU competition the system in the sphere of the offices of several companies vigorous in the sphere of the e-book sector in the sphere of several EU states.

The commission thought in the sphere of a statement with the aim of it would investigate whether Apple and the five publishers engaged in the sphere of illegal deals or else practices with the aim of "would maintain the object or else the effect of restricting competition in the sphere of the EU".

The prod strength of character in addition examine the character and vocabulary of agreements concerning the five publishing houses and retailers in favor of the transaction of e-books.

"The Commission has concerns with the aim of these practices could breach EU antitrust rules with the aim of prohibit cartels and restrictive venture practices," the statement thought.

Britain's headquarters of carnival Trading had run its own analogous investigation into e-books but it strength of character close it at present agreed with the aim of Brussels has opened a prod, the commission thought.

The headquarters would cooperate faithfully with the commission in the sphere of the legal action, it added.

Pearson, the set with the aim of owns Penguin publishing farmhouse, thought it "does not believe it has breached every laws, and strength of character persist to fully and openly cooperate with the Commission".

The iPad gives users an capability to surf the Internet, watch films, check emails and read books downloaded from Apple's iBook put in storage.

Apple and Amazon compete an increasingly crowded marketplace, but many are struggling to place dazed beyond the lay.

In the sphere of France, retail giant FNAC sells books through the Kobo tap tablet.

HP Rating Cut by S&P After Autonomy Acquisition Boosts Debt

Hewlett-Packard Co. Had its honor ratings reduction by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, which cited increased debt caused by the acquisition of independence Corp. And strategic shifts by the world’s prevalent PC maker.

S&P condensed the company’s corporate honor and senior unsecured ratings to BBB+ from A, motto “major strategic reversals,” management yield and share buybacks may perhaps take part in raised its risks. S&P in addition lowered Hewlett-Packard’s short-term rating to A-2 from A-1. The outlook on the ratings is firm, S&P assumed nowadays in the sphere of a statement.

Hewlett-Packard is annoying to jump back from sluggish sales and the ouster of two chief executive officers in the sphere of 14 months. The $10.3 billion independence acquisition, announced under ex-CEO Leo Apotheker, drew the bile of investors and contributed to his replacement by Meg Whitman in the sphere of September. He in addition shook up the board in his tenure.

“They need to strengthen their balance sheet by generating coins and paying back their debt,” Shaw Wu, an analyst by the side of Sterne Agee & filter Inc. In the sphere of San Francisco, assumed of the ratings reduction. Wu has a “buy” rating on the shares.

Mylene Mangalindan, a orator used for Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard, declined to comment.

Hewlett-Packard fell 14 cents to $27.81 in the sphere of extended trading in the same way as S&P posted its story. The shares, down 34 percent this time, had climbed 3.9 percent to $27.95 by the side of the close in the sphere of new to the job York.

SAVING coins

Hewlett-Packard’s first-quarter profit forecast and full- time dividend outlook both missed analysts’ estimates this month. Whitman’s table used for fixing Hewlett-Packard’s ailing businesses, such because PCs and information-technology services, includes boosting seek expenditure and limiting the size of acquisitions.

The conception is to calm down customers, conserve coins and spur domestic innovation — something the company neglected in excess of the elapsed decade. Whitman in addition firm to keep the company’s $39.6 billion PC division in the same way as Apotheker assumed he was allowing for a spinoff. The new to the job first in command has assumed she choice expose further policy in the sphere of the formerly partly of subsequently time.

“We take part in concerns with the aim of HP’s uneven growth strategies and extraordinary levels of board of director and senior management yield take part in elevated the level of operational and execution menace in the sphere of the come up to dub,” Martha Toll-Reed, an analyst by the side of new to the job York-based S&P, assumed in the sphere of the story.

‘TOO HARSH’

The S&P cuts may perhaps put together it further expensive used for Hewlett-Packard to gush short-term ad paper and long-term bonds, assumed Joel Levington, running director of corporate honor by the side of Brookfield Investment Management Inc. In the sphere of new to the job York. The reduction may perhaps take place undue particular Hewlett-Packard’s coins drift and debt in the sphere of relation to dividend earlier advantage, taxes, drop and paying back, or else EBITDA, he assumed.

“I don’t think an war was unjustifiable — I think the degree of war was way too harsh,” Levington assumed. “To take a two-notch downgrade and remove them from the ‘A’ kind is incredibly distrustful.”

Moody’s Investors Service’s assumed on Oct. 28 with the aim of it placed the PC maker’s honor ratings on have another look at used for on the cards downgrade.

On Nov. 17, Hewlett-Packard appointed ahead of its time shareholder Ralph Whitworth to its board. Whitworth, whose investment company oversees $6.5 billion, told management his appointment would rub up credibility and with the aim of he’d press used for share buybacks, upper dividends or else further investment in the sphere of seek, a person with experience of the location assumed.

Hewlett-Packard in addition lost its title because the world’s biggest maker of head waiter computers to International corporation tackle Corp. In the sphere of the third quarter, Gartner Inc. Assumed this week.
