From Kimble Charting Solutions:

The 4-pack below reflects Eiffel tower patterns in a variety of assets over the past 15 years. Notice that the right side of the tower looks very much like the left [...]

APPLE IS NOT INNOVATING AND YOU ARE JUST BUYING MORE SCREENS!! IPad > Mini IPad, iPhone 4s > iPhone 5 – You Have The Same Apps, The Same Interface, And The Same Operating System And They Are Getting Expensive

 

Beware of Apple, stay away from IT

I would further argue that the company needs to be operating in a similar fashion as well in order to maintain that growth rate, but from what we are seeing key executives are leaving and the competition is fierce while product setbacks exist. The combination of these three elements presents a situation for Apple that could eventually be defined as a turning point for [...]

Company develops eye-control software for phones, tablets

AFP - A Danish company hopes to clinch deals with major mobile phone and tablet makers after developing software that enables users to control their devices by moving their eyes, it said Wednesday.

“You can use it for basic control, such as turning to the next page in an e-book, and playing games with your eyes,” chief executive and co-founder of The Eye Tribe, Sune Alstrup Johansen, told AFP.

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER

Using iPads before bed ‘can lead to a poor night’s sleep’

Using tablet computers like Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Note just before bed can lead to a poor night’s sleep, according to research.

More and more people are taking their tablets to bed with them to surf the web, check Facebook or email before switching off the light.

But researchers are warning that the blueish light their screens emit can stop users getting a good night’s sleep.

That is because this type of [...]

RUSH: ’2016: Obama’s America’ gangbusters

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

 

RUSH: Dinesh D’Souza’s movie, 2016: Obama’s America. This movie is going gangbusters! The Hollywood press is writing about this in a shocked and dismayed way. Overflow crowds!

Web ‘blackout’ in Malaysia to protest law.

Malaysian NGOs, well-known bloggers and opposition politicians on Tuesday staged a one-day “Internet blackout” to protest a legal amendment that they say threatens free expression on the Web.

Participants replaced their home pages with black screens featuring messages attacking the new section of the Evidence Act, which went into effect in April despite widespread opposition.

Critics say under the amendment any web host, provider of a wi-fi network, or ordinary user of [...]

Only 9% of India’s 1.2 billion people now have Internet access. Plans for a 4G wireless network could change that:

MUMBAI—In December 2010, Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, circulated a 36-page handwritten memo to executives that spelled out his plans to build one of the world’s most advanced telecommunications networks.

The memo, which has been reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, described a fourth-generation, or 4G, wireless service with “99.999%” network availability; “integration with an app store, ours or others” to help smartphone users order fast food or buy movie tickets; [...]

Cool new “app” lets you monitor your credit score for free anytime you want

From Bargaineering:

Credit Karma recently released a free Credit Karma iPhone app that lets you monitor your credit anytime you want. It was released today I think and, as is the case with everything I’ve seen from them, it’s very well done.

The data on the screens isn’t mine so I can’t speak to what some of that means in a broader context.

The app is straightforward, with four basic screens…

The dashboard screen, [...]

What did happen in Spain today? What is causing Spanish bonds to go down so much?

From Peter Tchir of TF Market Advisors

What the TF happened to Spanish Bonds?

So what did happen in Spain today?  What is causing Spanish bonds to go down so much?

The first answer is relatively easy.  Nothing much new happened in Spain today, just variations of the same theme that has been out there for weeks if not months.  What we have is a struggling country with many banks that would view [...]

Still shuffling! Father, 85, finds turtle with his son’s initials carved on its shell 47 YEARS later in same backyard

In 1965 The Beatles played Shea Stadium, Malcolm X was assassinated and Goldfinger had just hit screens across the country.

It was also the year when 13-year-old Jeff Cokeley discovered an eastern box turtle in his backyard, carved his initials and the year onto its shell and then let the creature go.

Flash forward 47 years and the boy’s 85-year-old father, who still lives on the property, finds a box turtle in [...]

Amazon’s E-Ink Kindle Sales May Have Been A Disaster Last Quarter

We already know that Amazon’s Kindle Fire tanked in the first quarter of 2012.

 

But Paulo Santos over at Seeking Alpha thinks that regular Kindle sales have also melted away.

He uses a number of statistics to prove his point:

E Ink Holdings, the sole supplier of e-ink screens for the Kindle, told reporters that their major customer (Amazon) ordered too many units in Q4 2011, which made them order “almost nothing from us” in Q1 2012. [...]

Brilliant: Now Facebook includes a separate “Camera” app that lets you shoot and upload your photos directly to Facebook.

Facebook Just Did Something Absolutely Brilliant On Android

 

Picture: http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/4f9f0322eab8ea3c71000003/facebook-android-camera-app.jpg

 

One of our biggest problems with Facebook’s mobile app is that it’s nearly impossible to shoot and upload a new photo without lurching through a bunch of different screens and options.

 

The latest update to Facebook’s Android app fixes that.

Now Facebook includes a separate “Camera” app that lets you shoot and upload your photos directly to Facebook. You no longer have to dig through the main app’s menus.

Watch your iPad being made at the Foxconn factory in China

You can read a book, browse your photos and even play the piano on the new iPad – but what exactly goes into making Apple’s new tablet?

A rare insight into one of the factories shows the meticulous attention to detail covered by staff as they assemble thousands of tablets every day.

The factory in city of Shenzhen, China, employs 240,000 men and women, and even houses 50,000 on site.

Hundreds of workers [...]

Apple’s supply chain is once again in the crosshairs, after a South Korean newspaper today reported that Chinese factory workers are paid substantially less than their counterparts elsewhere around the world.

According to the Korea Daily, citing sources, factory workers in China who are producing iPads collectively earn about $8 per unit among them, or about 1.6 percent of the cheapest iPad‘s selling price.

Europe is broken and the people charged with trying to fix it are clearly not up to the job

by ZH

In typical European leadership fashion, the need to speak useless words to an audience waiting for some sense of real actionable solution outweighs any actual ability to add value or say something new. What is even more incredible is that we expect the 17 (or 27) nations to agree on anything when they can’t even communicate effectively internally as we see the Sarkozy/Merkel press conference perfectly overlap with the [...]

iPad and Food

by LFM

Much as the Apple iPad is innovative, it is expensive, for an additional portable device. It’s too expensive for many and a lot of competition is soon set to hit the market in tablet computers, with many offering full browsing with flash, usb and card slots. Just as there’s now a lot of competition in the smart phone market again, with many rivalling iPhone [...]

Somebody tells me why a human being will sell ACN for just 1 cent, a 27 billion company, which was trading at $40 most of the time.

They are erasing the trading data all over, canceling the trades and hide the manipulaiton evidence right now.

But you could still see this 1 cent trade & its volume at finance.google.com, and finance.yahoo.com (barely). I have captured the screenshots from Google, Yahoo, TDAmeritrade, Scottrade, Firstrade screens, showing that there were actual 1 cent trades on this $40 stock ACN today, and I will post them on my site.
