Items tagged with Boot to Gecko
Do consumers really need yet another smartphone platform to consider when shopping a mobile device? We're about to find out. Perhaps you've heard of Mozilla's 'Boot to Gecko' (B2G) project, essentially an open source operating system that puts all its chips into HTML5. Well, it appears that the first phone to run B2G will be released in Brazil perhaps by the end of this year, and if not, by early 2013. B2G is an interesting proposition. It's being designed so that HTML5 applications run natively, which should make devices built around the platform run fast and responsive. "It's an open platform... Read more...

Ritchie turns to guitar post-divorce
Film director Guy Ritchie has been enjoying playing the guitar since his divorce from pop star Madonna at the end of 2008, it has been reported.
A member of the crew working on Ritchie's upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie told the Daily Express that the Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels mastermind has taken to dressing like "a country gent" in recent months and "plays guitar non-stop".
"He seems to be much happier since his divorce," the insider remarked. "All he wants to do is sing and strum his guitar madly."
The source did not reveal what type of guitar Ritchie has been playing, but his ex-wife has been known to use a custom-made Gibson Les Paul while on tour in recent years.
Back in October 2008, Chinese news provider Sina.com published a number of pictures of Ritchie on the set of the Sherlock Holmes film playing a small acoustic guitar.Posted on 26 Jan 2009 18:30 to category : Band / Celebrity News

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings gives a keynote address, January 6, 2016 at the CES 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As 2010 began, Netflix was a nascent challenger to the sprawling media industry, worth less than $8 a share.
Fast forward ten years – and a stock gain of more than 4,200% – and Netflix is now a technology giant mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Apple and Facebook, with dozens of Wall Street analysts recommending Netflix shares to investors.
But a new decade has come. Are there any stocks with the potential for those kinds of gains in the next ten years?
Finding stocks with this kind of return potential is a difficult and risky task. Dozens of public companies could be crowned the high growth disruptor of the next decade. In order to find some potential winners, CNBC analyzed megatrends just emerging similar to streaming a decade ago, and found companies whose fortunes are tied to those big changes.
The following are seven companies that appear ripe to surpass investor expectations, each falling in a different category: Energy innovation, big data explosion, autonomy, travel, aging, agriculture and entertainment.
However, as UBS noted earlier this year, it is “important to differentiate between trends and fads” and that’s what can make this so difficult. The firm advised investors to ground their strategies in three reliable long-term trends: Population growth (“by 2050, the global population is expected to reach 10 billion, up from 7.5 billion today”), aging (“The population is getting older and living longer”) and urbanization (“by 2050, it is expected that 68% of the world’s population will reside in cities”).
“From an investment perspective, we are focused on the problem-solving companies that are meeting the needs of a changing world,” UBS said.
With that warning in mind, here are eight stocks with the ambition of revolutionizing whole industries.
Energy: NextEra Energy (NEE)
The shift to clean energy is no longer about if, it’s when.
“We expect the drive towards cleaner energy to continue, as cleaner power generation is
increasingly competitive versus traditional fossil-fuel-based technologies,” Credit Suisse said in a January note.
The firm recently called out NextEra Energy, with its “world-leading large-scale renewable development business,” as a top pick in the energy sector.
“Investors are more focused than ever on global warming’s impact on the economy, society, unemployment and migration,” Bank of America said in November, a change to which clean energy companies stand to benefit.
Coal, oil and gas may not be going away tomorrow. But Credit Suisse thinks the change in energy’s economics is increasing alternative sources, which is where NextEra Energy comes in.
“Nearly half the company’s assets and earnings originate from its market leading dominance in North American utility scale renewable power. We expect this segment to grow at least 15% for the next decade or longer,” Credit Suisse said.
Additionally, the firm highlighted the “deep management bench” of NextEra Energy and a confidence in the company’s “consistent investor friendly execution for the next decade or longer.”
Autonomy: Lyft (LYFT)
There’s quite a long way to go before humans are fully replaced at the wheel of automobiles but Barclays sees an interim “multi-modal” beginning to further evolve transportation in cities across America.
Barclays said in June that it estimates “robotaxis can address a portion – but not yet all – of urban and suburban trips,” replacing as many as 42 million vehicles in the U.S.
“Cutting the car ownership cord can open up dramatic growth in terms of VMT (vehicle miles travelled) for alternative mobility,” Barclays said.
Ride-hailing company Lyft, which recently IPO’d, has several notable partnerships. Lyft is working with two driverless vehicle developers: Former Alphabet-owned Waymo and Irish company Aptiv. The former is deploying 10 vehicles in Phoenix, Arizona on Lyft’s network and the latter plans to test in Las Vegas, Nevada. Additionally, Lyft partnered with Ford, which plans to launch a commercial autonomous vehicle with Lyft in 2021. Finally, Lyft is also working with autonomous vehicle software developer Magna.
Barclays noted that households with two or more cars are likely to be the first to look to mobility-as-a-service (“MaaS”) alternatives, possibly benefiting Lyft.
“We see anyone driving less than 200-300 miles/month at risk of switching from ownership to MaaS,” Barclays said.
Creative pricing structures could also be a boon to ride-hailing companies like Lyft, according to the firm.
“Subscription packages would likely encourage loyalty to ride-hail companies and also reduce cost/mile or monthly mobility payments to levels more attractive to current car owners,” Barclays said.
Barclays also highlighted the evolving views of car ownership, especially on a regulatory basis.
“Local, regional and national policymakers globally are showing more appetite for discouraging car usage entirely in urban areas,” the firm said. “Scandinavian countries show fewer cars/household than elsewhere in Europe – highlighting that consumers do give up car ownership when governments start to actively discourage car usage and encourage alternative forms of mobility.”
Data: Broadcom (AVGO)
The world’s biggest superpowers are in fierce pursuit of the next generation of technologies, all while demand for data continues to skyrocket.
“US and China [are] competing in nextgen technologies like quantum computing, semiconductors, AI, 5G communication networks, cybersecurity and space that go well beyond manufacturing and trade issues,” Bank of America said in November.
A seemingly endless list of companies could be named from the sub-sectors of technology. But Broadcom, a company with a wide range of hardware and software products, was highlighted by Credit Suisse as a high quality player in serving demand for Internet of Things (“IoT”) and building 5G-capable devices.
“Over the next few years, the number of global connected devices is expected to grow exponentially, according to our technology analysts,” Credit Suisse said.
5G is expected to drive growth and Broadcom, especially through recent acquisitions, has been positioning itself to be a key manufacturer serving new devices and software.
Hypersonic travel: Virgin Galactic (SPCE)
While Sir Richard Branson’s company has been focused on flying tourists to space for the past decade, Virgin Galactic recently has been talking to investors about the about the potential of high-speed, long distance travel, also known as point-to-point space travel. Virgin Galactic recently received investment from Boeing’s venture arm HorizonX, to explore developing a vehicle capable of flying around the world at high speeds.
Of the companies on this list, Virgin Galactic has the clearest risk: Flying people on rockets to space means the potential for a fatal accident. But three Wall Street firms – Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Vertical Research Partners – have begun covering Virgin Galactic’s stock since it began trading in October and all three have buy ratings, with bullish forecasts.
Morgan Stanley has especially highlighted Virgin Galactic’s long-term plan, which is to apply what it’s learning from flying tourists to develop the capability of flying passengers from one place in the world to another. If successful, Virgin Galactic would challenge the airlines, and Morgan Stanley forecast $800 billion in annual sales for hypersonic travel by 2040.
“A viable space tourism business is what you pay for today … but a chance to disrupt the multi-trillion-dollar airline [total addressable market] is what is really likely to drive the upside,” Morgan Stanley said.
But Virgin Galactic needs to develop the technology in a reasonable amount of time, according to Credit Suisse, as other companies are working on supersonic or hypersonic vehicles.
“Unless Virgin is able to offer a similarly compelling point-to-point solution, the arrival of point-to-point by competitors could damage the overall [total addressable market] for space tourism and, therefore, the long-term demand profile,” Credit Suisse said.
Aging: Illumina (ILMN)
The ever present quest to extend human life is a marketplace that Bank of America estimated is worth $110 billion today – but nearly six times that in five years.
“Genetic therapies represent a paradigm shift in medicine, with the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery and disrupt the biopharma industry,” UBS said in a note this month.
Among the numerous biotechnology companies is Illumina, which is focused on genetic sequencing, a field which Bank of America calls a “moonshot” in the life sciences.
“Illumina has near 100% of revenues from analysing genetic data and would therefore be a High in our universe,” Bank of America said in a May report.
The company’s efforts in genetic sequencing range from devices to services. Illumina’s products are already used be researchers, as the firm said the company helps “in a broad spectrum of scientific activities to gain a greater understanding of genetic variation and biological function.”
“As such, Illumina’s tools play an important role in helping advance disease research, drug development, and the creation of molecular tests,” Bank of America said.
Alternative foods: Beyond Meat (BYND)
In the world of food, HSBC this year highlighted several new technologies like “precision farming” and lab-grown meat as “transforming the agri-food industry.”
“Food preferences are also evolving in developed countries towards organic foods and plant-based diets as consumers are becoming more environmentally minded,” HSBC said.
Today’s shift is crucial according to Bank of America, which thinks the current outlook is bleak, to say the least.
“The current model of food consumption is unsustainable and must change to prevent spiraling societal costs. 1 in 5 world deaths result from poor diets which kill more than tobacco, and health-related costs from red/processed meat consumption total US$285bn annually,” the firm said in a May note.
Bank of America noted that the costs of producing lab-grown meat “have fallen 99.7%” in the past six years, while diets featuring reduced meat consumption simultaneously have increased. That’s where Beyond Meat comes in, a company with products in the thick of a sector that’s growing fast, according to Piper Jaffray.
“Plant-based US meat retail sales are ~1.5% of the total $80 billion meat category, which is well below plant-based milk’s 13% share. A more mature plant-based market conservatively in the 7%-8% range of all meat retail sales would translate to $6-$8 billion by 2025,” Piper Jaffray said.
Additionally, Beyond Meat has an even “faster-growing, less discussed” business in food services, UBS said in a note this month. The firm estimates that it’s “achievable” for that part of Beyond Meat “to reach $1 billion in food service sales long-term,” UBS said.
Entertainment: Activision Blizzard (ATVI)
Put simply, video games have become a behemoth. Not only has it become one of the biggest parts of global entertainment but it continues to be one of the fastest growing too, Jefferies told investors in a note this month.
“The industry is currently more than a $150 billion market – larger than digital music and box office combined,” Jefferies said.
The firm highlighted Activision Blizzard as a company that has built immense gaming business that’s only just beginning to tap into the world of mobile gaming. A Jefferies survey of U.S. smart phone owners found that nearly 90% play mobile games, with about half of those saying the amount of time they spend playing mobile games increased in the past year.
“We believe ATVI’s aggressive approach will continue to pay off, representing a $1 billion opportunity and $0.25 in incremental EPS by 2023,” Jefferies said.
But acting as content producer, beyond video games themselves, is where Activision may be able take its next step. Piper Jaffray this month wrote that it expects films and TV series featuring Activision brands will “be featured in various streaming services in coming years.” In essence, Activision could evolve from a video game maker in to a digital content giant.

Vertu, the pioneer manufacturer of luxury mobile phones, is expecting a bumper year with the release of the Ti, the company's first smartphone to run Google's Android operating system.Monday, 4 March, 2013, 4:53am
Have you ever had a pang of conscience after you splurged on a fancy gadget or a sumptuous meal? How about spending with a cause in mind?
The luxurious phone brand Vertu has launched a special version of its sought-after Constellation Touch to help those in need.12 Jul 2012 - 12:00am
There aren't many cellphones that cost more than a brand new entry-level BMW. Then again, there aren't many that come encrusted with diamonds, 18-carat gold, platinum, rubies, titanium and space shuttle-grade ceramics.19 Dec 2011 - 12:00am
Vertu smartphone launch party
When: October 26
What: Luxury mobile phone maker Vertu launched its latest smartphone series, Constellation Quest. Canto-pop star Eason Chan Yik-shun sang for the guests.
Who: Checking out the smartphone were Brandon Chau, Jenny Chau, Michael Chan, Samuel Lee and Carmen Lee.19 Nov 2010 - 12:00am
The 20,000 sq ft ArtisTree space in Taikoo Place was transformed into multimedia installation-cum-swanky lounge for the exclusive launch party for Vertu's latest smartphone series, Constellation Quest, last week.2 Nov 2010 - 12:00am
Star call6 Dec 2009 - 12:00am
High-end phonemaker Vertu held a casual cocktail party at Habitu the Pier last month to show off its latest phones and promote its store in the Ocean Terminal. The event was first class all the way, with a Ferrari on the patio, an Italian buffet, and half a million dollars worth of diamond and gold mobile phones.27 Jul 2007 - 12:00am
Take note1 Jun 2007 - 12:00am
We confess we skipped work for a bit yesterday. The excuse was to attend Vertu's press conference for their new Ascent Racetrack Legend phone series - named after six famous car-racing circuits - but the real reason was to play with the F1 simulators at the Sideways Racing Club, an upscale arcade with very cool machines recently opened on Chancery Lane, Central.21 Apr 2006 - 12:00am
If you own the Fendi Spy bag and a pair of Bottega Veneta gold slingbacks yet still feel your life is lacking, this is the perfect product for you. Renowned luxury mobile phone brand, Vertu, last month introduced the special edition Ascent Pink.1 May 2005 - 12:00am

Sorry, the name doesn't ring a bell. Remember the buzz a couple of years ago about the world's first super-deluxe mobile phone, Vertu Signature? That was Nuovo's baby. The Italian-American started dreaming of cool communication gadgets back when mobile phones were a rarity and the concept of a top-end version, combining communications technology with craft, seemed far-fetched.7 Mar 2004 - 12:00am
The seriously wealthy now have another way of flaunting their riches with a mobile phone priced at HK$152,000.
Vertu, a subsidiary of Nokia, released hand-crafted mobile phones for sale in Hong Kong this month. The company said the phones would be available in June and had attracted orders, but it refused to say how many.24 Apr 2002 - 12:00am

We're pretty bullish on Android as a gaming platform these days, particularly with the announcement at CES this year of all the new graphically-supercharged tablets and phones coming out with Nvidia's Tegra 2 chipset.
Add to that momentum the report from CNet today that Android tablets made huge gains against the iPad's market share in the fourth quarter of last year:
In the fourth quarter, Apple's tablet captured 75.3 percent of worldwide market share, easily besting Android-based devices' 21.6 percent share, according to market-research firm Strategy Analytics. However, those figures differ vastly from the third quarter when Apple had 95.5 percent share and Android had just 2.3 percent.
From 2.3 to 21.6 percent share in just 3 months? That's pretty impressive. If they can keep that momentum up, 2011 going to be a good year to be an Android developer.
I'm not saying anything, just, you know...ahem.

Weekly Headlines From The Wall Street Journal
We learn a great deal about sentiment by looking at the headlines in the center of the front page of The Wall Street Journal.
Going forward we will track weekly and then label them as Good News, Neutral or Negative News. I think you will find this useful.
Lawmakers Seek Tech CEOs' Emails (9/14/19) Negative News
China Seeks to Narrow Talks With U.S. to Ease Trade Rift (9/13/19) Positive News
Purdue Tentatively Settles Claims (9/12/19) Neutral News
Trump Ousts Bolton Amid Clashes (9/11/19) Negative News
Nissan Ousts CEO After Probe Finds He Pocketed Extra Pay (9/10/19) Negative News
Private Data Show Sharper China Slowdown (9/9/19) Negative News
So for the week there were four negative news stories, one positive story and one neutral. Clearly, the trade tariff issue is impacting economic growth and we need to continue to watch this trend. Geopolitical concerns also weigh on investors.
Despite the above negative news, debt is cheap and companies are refinancing their debt which is a plus. Last week we noted cheap gasoline is helping the consumer kind of. In my opinion, gasoline is not cheap it has just stayed at $2,50ish for quite some time. $2.00 gasoline would be a much better deal for the consumer. That saves the consumer $10 a fill up on a 20 gallon tank and is an extra $10 a week, $40 a month and $480 a year. That is real money for many.
The risk now is that gasoline could move to $3.00 on the Saudi oil wells being attacked.
Conclusion: Good News Index 25% for week ended 9/14/19.

Well, the wait is over, because it’s been reported that Jeffreys is tipped to wear a gown by local designer, Rebecca Vallance as she walks down the aisle. Though not known for bridal wares, it’s easy to see why the star has chosen the label—ultra-feminine, floor sweepings designs are a part of the brand’s DNA, and wouldn’t look out of place at any fairy-tale occasion, least of all a wedding!
"Throwback to last night's celebrations for @rebeccavallance ... This girl is on 🔥 Don't forget me when you take over the 🌍 xx
Jeffreys also has a long-standing relationship with the label, which she calls “my fav”, and has been spotted in Rebecca Vallance designs countless times over the last few years, including at both the 2015 and 2016 Logie Awards, where Jeffreys wore gowns custom made for her by the designer.
For those of you who don’t know, Rebecca Vallance launched her eponymous label in 2011, and has gone from strength to strength ever since. The Sydney-based label’s fans include Chrissy Teigen, Rachel McAdams and Kate Beckinsale, and Vallance is one of only a handful of Australian designers who have been invited to show on schedule at New York fashion week (which she did in 2015). But don’t just take our word for it; check out the pretty designs for yourself here.

YouTube launched its YouTube Music service in Singapore last week, taking on music streaming rivals such as Apple Music and Spotify.
This music streaming platform debuted in 2015 and was relaunched last year with a new music-focused mobile app (available for iOS and Android).
It has an advertisementsupported free tier, as well as a paid version, YouTube Music Premium, priced from $9.98 monthly.
With the paid version, subscribers do not receive advertisements, can play songs in the background and can download songs and music videos for offline listening.
Also introduced was YouTube Premium, which offers a similar advertisement-free experience and offline downloads for regular YouTube videos from $11.98 monthly.
In addition, YouTube Premium subscribers have access to the YouTube Music Premium service.
Family plans ($14.98 monthly for YouTube Music Premium and $17.98 monthly for YouTube Premium) are available for up to five other family members at the same residential address.
Note that you have to pay $3 to $5 more monthly, depending on the plan, if you subscribe to YouTube’s paid services via Apple’s App Store. This is probably because Apple takes a 30 per cent cut from developers for in-app purchases including subscriptions.
While there are several music streaming services available in Singapore, the biggest player is Spotify, which counts 113 million paid users worldwide and offers a song library of around 50 million. How does YouTube Music compare with Spotify?
Google has so far declined to reveal the size of YouTube Music’s song library. But YouTube Music offers more than just songs from the music labels – it has live performances, remixes, covers, music videos and other user-uploaded content.
For titles that are available as a song and as a music video, users can seamlessly switch between the two via a toggle in the app.
Free users can select any song and skip tracks as often as they like for YouTube Music, unlike Spotify’s free tier for mobile, which has limits on skipping songs and song selection.
The YouTube Music app has a smart download feature that will automatically download songs to your phone overnight using Wi-Fi, based on your listening habits and preferences, so that users will have songs for their daily commute.
Users need only allocate a specific amount of device storage for the downloads.
There is no hard limit on the number of songs that can be downloaded to a device – it all depends on the amount of internal storage available.
This is unlike Spotify, which caps the limit at 10,000 songs per device.
YouTube Music cannot be played in the background for free users, which means the smartphone screen is always on and hence drains the battery. In contrast, Spotify lets free users play songs in the background.
Paid users for YouTube Music can stream music at up to 256kbps (kilobit per second) in quality, compared with 320kbps for Spotify Premium users.
Free users are limited to 128kbps for YouTube Music and up to 160kbps for Spotify.
The user’s YouTube Music search history is saved to his or her regular YouTube search history, potentially cluttering the latter with undesired music-related terms.
I would have preferred for the two platforms to be separate. Of course, there is no such issue with the audio-only Spotify.
YouTube Music does not offer podcasts in its app, unlike Spotify. Instead, Google has a separate Podcast app. But podcasts are a rapidly growing segment. Spotify, for one, is investing heavily in exclusive original podcasts.
If you are worried about data usage from streaming music on the go, YouTube Music may not be for you.
While M1 and Singtel offer unlimited music streaming using mobile data for Spotify, there is currently no similar waiver for YouTube Music.
To be fair, YouTube Music has a data-saving option that reduces the audio quality to 48kbps.

Muscat: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion MoCIIP is discussing plans to permit holding virtual and innovative exhibitions, as part of new amendments to the regulation for organizing and managing exhibitions
The Ministry stated that it is working on making new amendments to the regulation for organizing and managing exhibitions issued by Ministerial Resolution 182/2017, in order to give more facilities to the companies organizing exhibitions and conferences and to encourage them to expand and diversify the holding of exhibitions and conferences in the Sultanate and even attracting regional and international exhibitions, conferences, and events to the Sultanate.

The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion is keen to follow up on everything related to commercial activity in the Sultanate, and the impact of the current conditions and circumstances that the Sultanate and the countries of the world are going through as a result of the Coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic. As part of ministry facilities to the investors the Ministry has also allowing companies that did not meet all the requirements to hold an exhibition by giving them the opportunity to set up one exhibition in exchange for a pledge to fulfill the deficiencies in case they wanted to hold another exhibition.

By Lauren ManciniSource: Business Insider/Business Insider/Associated PressIn this photo illustration, the Sun Microsystems headquarters is seen in San Jose, California.
Sun Microsystem, a technology and manufacturing company, is planning to build its own hair supply chain and grow its own hydroponics products at its own solar power plant in Northern California.
The plan is to compete directly with the likes of Amazon and other major online retailers for customers, which could be profitable for Sun Micro, which says it can cut its costs in half on the $1 billion project.
Sun Micro is betting that its own homegrown hydroponic equipment and growing techniques will work better than the competing suppliers, as well as its own proprietary technology, which it has developed and patented.
The company has set up an online store called Wash It Right, which sells hydroponically grown hair from different suppliers.
The site also offers tools for customers to make their own hydrogels and other products.
“If we’re really serious about getting into hydropons and growing hydropones and other things, we need to have that local expertise,” Sun Micro CEO John Sculley told Business Insider.
Sun micro is one of many big-name companies that have tried to grow their own businesses with a mix of public and private investments.
Companies like IBM, Google, and Walmart have invested in hydroponer manufacturing plants, while other companies have built their own plants and have raised capital.
In 2018, the New York Times profiled the success of The Hair Supply Chain Lab, a private company that built a plant in Pennsylvania to make hydropontins and other hydropond systems.
The lab is now a leader in growing hydrochemical products from hydropoietic ingredients, such as hair and scalp, into hydroids, or a gel, and is expected to produce more than 2 billion hydroponies by 2025, according to the Times.
Sun is not the only company to grow its hydropony operations.
Google’s $1.5 billion Hydroponic Lab is building its own plant in California to manufacture hydropone and hydroposthetics.
In August, the startup Nuvium announced that it had closed on a $1-billion expansion project in the United Kingdom to produce its own products and hydrochemicals, as part of a larger expansion effort.
Other companies like Google and Amazon are also pursuing hydropotons and hydrogonic products to make them available to consumers, although they have faced regulatory hurdles and cost overruns.
In January, the company announced it was selling its own “Hydrocell” hydropower project to Google for $400 million, after Amazon declined to fund its project.

WMT remains health, wellness stalwart
It has been a challenging few years for Walmart among ongoing sales difficulties, restructuring of senior leadership and the pursuit of a new, yet familiar, strategic direction. Despite all the turmoil and the constant media attention it received, Walmart’s health-and-wellness business unit remained a steady performer through 2010.
The category of health and wellness — defined by Walmart to include the pharmacy and optical services — accounted for 11% of sales of $260 billion last year, versus 10% of roughly the same level of sales the prior year. There also was a modest increase in the number of pharmacies, which numbered 3,732 versus 3,694 the prior year.
So there was some growth; it just wasn’t the blistering pace set during the ’90s or earlier last decade when hundreds of new stores with pharmacies were opening annually and Walmart was gobbling market share. Rather, the past few years, it has been Walmart ceding market share to a wide range of competitors as evidenced by nearly two years of quarterly same-store sales declines. The company aims to reverse that trend by relying on familiar strategies of offering everyday low prices on the broadest assortment of goods in the marketplace, supported by a simplified price match program that allows cashiers to make on-the-sport adjustments.
The messaging is sure to sound familiar to customers since it served as the company’s core value proposition for decades. It is conceivable and perhaps even likely that with Walmart speaking to consumers again, it will see a rebound in customer traffic. Comp-store sales growth also is a realistic possibility, especially since comparisons with prior years are easing, and a bit of inflation, which all retailers appear to be passing through to consumers, will contribute to above-average transaction sizes.
These factors are poised to benefit the health-and-wellness business since an increase in customer traffic will be arising as merchandising changes are taking place under the leadership of new chief merchandising officer Duncan Mac Naughton. Walmart is placing a greater emphasis on new items and once again relying on in-aisle feature displays of sharply priced products to drive sales.
While a return of some familiar merchandising strategies is seen as helping top-line results, don’t look for a meaningful increase in the number of Walmart pharmacies anytime soon. The profits Walmart generates are increasingly being used to deliver shareholder value in ways other than new store growth. For example, share repurchases and dividends now consume significantly more cash than capital expenditures on new stores.
The biggest opportunity for Walmart to achieve a meaningful increase in its pharmacy count lies in the development and subsequent expansion of small-format stores, which are included in this year’s capital budget. The company plans to opens its first truly small-format stores this year in an experiment in which some units will contain prescription departments and others will not. When the first of these new Walmart Express stores opens this spring in Northwest Arkansas, just in time for the company’s shareholders meeting, they are sure to attract considerable interest due to their potential impact on the marketplace if Walmart is able to grow the concept.
That’s a big “if.” While no one doubts Walmart would be capable of opening huge numbers of small stores annually or that the potential exists to make a real-estate acquisition to facilitate more rapid expansion, the financial viability of any type of small format is hardly a given at this point — this despite the fact that Walmart has ample experience with small stores in international markets and presumably should be able to capitalize on that expertise with a U.S. variant.
The company has been down this path before with Neighborhood Market. Developed in the late ’90s, there are fewer than 200 of the stores today, and the reasoning for the slow pace of expansion was always that supercenters offer a higher rate of return. Now that it is 2011 and supercenter growth has slowed, there would appear to be a place in Walmart’s store portfolio for smaller units. However, a new competitor now exists for capital — in the international area. Of Walmart’s $12.7 billion in capital expenditures last year, the bulk of it was for new stores, and the U.S. and international division were each allocated 33% of that amount. However, internationally, Walmart gets more bang for its buck. Walmart added 23 million sq. ft. of new selling space internationally, whereas in the United States, a comparable expenditure netted only 10 million sq. ft. of new space. In addition, the company faces considerably less aggravation in many of its international markets as its proposition of low prices and quality merchandise for consumers and jobs with benefits is greeted more warmly.
Cardinal reinforces true ‘independence’
Embrace diversity. You don’t have to be Leader to be a leader.
That is Cardinal Health’s modern message to its roughly 6,300 independent pharmacy customers that aren’t members of its franchise division of Medicine Shoppe and Medicap pharmacies. In a gradual but sweeping shift in how it goes to market, the wholesale and health services giant has reduced its emphasis on the Leader store brand in favor of a new approach to the pharmacy market on behalf of its sprawling base of independent pharmacies. While not in any sense abandoning the Leader logo or its marketing and ad circular programs, Cardinal has developed a more customized and store-specific approach to its retail network that encourages each pharmacy owner-operator to fully develop his or her own brand and local market identity.
Cardinal’s customers can still participate in all Leader programs, and many do, says company spokeswoman Tara Schumacher. But independents by nature want to trade on their own brand of personal service and their own good name to build customer loyalty. Cardinal, she said, has realigned its independent pharmacy division under Steve Lawrence, SVP independent sales and marketing. The new paradigm: customer-specific flexibility in marketing, merchandising and store support.
That new, let-the-owner-decide-what’s-best approach is what greeted the roughly 2,000 independent pharmacists who swelled Cardinal’s customer ranks when the company finalized its buyout of Kinray, the nation’s largest independently owned drug wholesaler, early this year. And for those owner-operators accustomed to Kinray’s highly individualized and high-touch brand of service, the change must have been a welcomed one.
Under Cardinal’s new strategy, “if an independent pharmacy wants to market itself under what it perceives is a broader brand, but wants to be an independent pharmacy and not a franchise, they can still have all the Leader program materials — store banners, signs, circulars,” Schumacher told Drug Store News. “But instead of encouraging customers to become Leader stores, we now offer local store marketing services, where we’ll help any customer build awareness of their own store name.”
“We’re focused more on growing our independent base of customers, not necessarily on growing the number of Leader customers,” she added. “It’s about whatever makes the most sense to our customers’ businesses. So if an independent pharmacy wants to market themselves as Joe’s Pharmacy, we’ll support them in that; if they want to market themselves as Joe’s Leader Pharmacy, we’ll help them with that, too.”
The shift in approach culminated on July 23, 2010, when Cardinal unveiled a broad set of new applications designed to help independents compete far more effectively under their own hard-won marketplace identities. Cardinal called it “the industry’s first fully customizable suite of marketing tools that enable independent pharmacists to build and market their own brand within their communities — without having to tie their marketing efforts to a national banner program.”
The change was based on “extensive customer research [that] told us that an increasing number of retail pharmacies want to be able to exclusively market their own store names in their local communities,” Lawrence said. “But until now, they haven’t had easy-to-use, quality marketing tools that can help them do that in a cost-effective way.”
Now available to Cardinal’s customers:
Customized store websites that can feature a store’s full brand identity, along with online order refills integrated with a store’s pharmacy system and tie-ins with commercials, store circulars and other marketing activities;
Cardinal’s new in-store radio system, which allows for store-specific ads;
A new, customizable in-store signage and circular system;
A new outbound calling system to help pharmacies improve patient relationships and medication adherence, linked to the store’s pharmacy system for reference tracking; and
A new series of radio and TV ads that can be customized to promote an individual store’s brand, products and services.
“A lot of our customers have said, ‘we like the brand equity we have.’ So now the marketing materials can reflect just that,” Schumacher said.
Resilient Kroger readies for recovery
In retailing, it’s a given that a long-term, severe recession will cut through the ranks of food, drug and general merchandise retailers like a scythe through wheat, pushing weaker players out of the market as consumer spending dries up and Darwinian realities winnow the field. But it’s also true that the strongest merchants can emerge not only intact, but also with even brighter prospects if they innovate, invest and retain the loyalty of their customers.
Clearly, Kroger belongs in the latter category. The Cincinnati-based supermarket and combo-store behemoth weathered a tough 2010 with a 2.8% increase in same-store sales across its multifaceted retail empire and net earnings of more than $1.1 billion. The company also increased share of grocery sales by 80 basis points, according to Nielsen research, and in the final months of the fiscal year ended Jan. 29, 2011, appeared to regain momentum in drug and non-food sales.
“Kroger’s business proved resilient in 2010, weathering a challenging environment that continued to affect many of our customers,” said chairman and CEO David Dillon in March. “We were particularly pleased to see solid growth in our drug/general merchandise department where sales had softened during the recession as customers scaled back discretionary purchases.”
Sadly, the start of Kroger’s new fiscal year also witnessed the loss of one of its top pharmacy and non-food executives, EVP Don Becker, a 42-year company veteran who died unexpectedly in February at 62 years old. Becker oversaw drug, grocery and general merchandise buying, marketing and merchandising, and also was responsible for The Little Clinic operations.
Dillon called Becker a “dear friend and extraordinary leader” who “leaves a legacy of enthusiasm and passion for doing what’s right.”
Despite that major setback, Kroger appears to be laying a solid foundation for continued success. The company operates 1,950 in-store pharmacies that filled nearly 140 million prescriptions in 2010.
Besides a strong presence in the flagship Kroger combo stores, that pharmacy network sprawls across a complex web of such regional chains as King Soopers in Colorado, Ralphs in California, Smith’s Food & Drug Centers in Utah, Fry’s Food & Drug in Arizona and Fred Meyer in Oregon.
In 2010, Kroger also purchased its erstwhile partner in walk-in patient-care centers, The Little Clinic. The buyout gave it control of one of the nation’s largest operators of retail-based clinics, with 77 professional centers in select Kroger, Fry’s and King Soopers stores in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arizona and Colorado. The company also provides management for 40 branded clinics in Florida and Georgia.
In the midst of a tough economy, Kroger also invested a total of roughly $2 billion last year in store remodeling, the Little Clinic purchase, new technology and other improvements. Steady investments in automation have helped transform the pharmacy, where pharmacists in any of its stores and operating companies can see into any customer’s patient profile and prescription record via its nationally integrated pharmacy automation platform. That system, called the EasyFill Pharmacy Retail Network, allows pharmacists “a single view of the patient across Kroger,” according to Chris Hjelm, SVP and CIO. The system also tracks all pharmacy transactions in real time, he said, so “we know when a prescription is sold, not just filled.”
Kroger’s pharmacy team also continues to expand pharmacy and clinic-based services, including a variety of immunizations and biometric screenings for such conditions as diabetes, hyperlipidemia and obesity. Some Kroger pharmacists also now participate in long-term programs for diabetes management, education and coaching, in coordination with registered dietitians and certified diabetes educators.
Kroger also continues to wield one of retailing’s most effective loyalty card programs. The company reported that more than 90% of its customer transactions now involve the use of the Kroger card.

Oracle Watch : IBM's Venom Compression Technology Strikes at EMC and Oracle "IBM has unveiled its Venom data storage compression technology for DB2 Viper. IBM gave me a sneak peek at this impressive stuff a few weeks back, but I didn’t know the final, nicely poisonous name until now.
When I first wrote about the technology I posed it as a storage battle between IBM and Microsoft, but in actuality it's bigger than that. IBM says that Venom, which reduces storage hardware and usage by up to 70 percent, is really targeted at the 30,000 Oracle customers who use EMC storage and want a new, cheaper alternative to buying more EMC hardware."

Apple's new red iPhones won't be (RED) in China; here's a few possible reasons why11
The two special-edition iPhone 7 models are going on sale in China as well, where registrations for their launch have surpassed the number of available units, but they won't be carrying the (RED) branding in the region. The phones will otherwise look the same, sporting the same red backplates, but they will be sold as merely a color option to the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus and not carry the charitable nature of PRODUCT(RED) devices sold in other regions.
Apple's China retail page currently lists the new iPhones without the PRODUCT(RED) branding, which strongly suggests that handsets sold in the region will not be a part of the charity initiative. There is currently no official information from Apple as to why the branding was dropped, but there are various factors at play that could have affected the decision.
China is known for its strict control over media and messages, and HIV/AIDS remain a controversial subject in the country. Despite the presence of HIV/AIDS being low in China, with less than 0.1% of the current population being affected, aid agencies are often warning of a possible crisis in the future, due to the government's negligence of the subject and the stigma surrounding homosexuality in the country.
Apple may just be trying to navigate a difficult sociopolitical terrain with a product that is otherwise guaranteed to sell in China based on color alone. After being accused by the Chinese government of illegally tracking users in 2014 — a claim that has since been debunked — and getting some of its online services shut down in the country last year, the company may just be trying to avoid complications in a notoriously difficult market dominated by local brands.

Soon after Google made one of the most important acquisitions of the decade, sale value of Canadian smartphone maker Research In Motion (RIM) nearly doubled.
According to the Bloomberg, market analysts and researchers have placed RIM on a pedestal as Morgan Keegan & Co. said that the value of BlackBerry maker could be easily set at $25 billion, almost double its present value of $13.5 billion.
Analysts at Morgan Keegan & Co. believe that the high wave of Google Inc. acquiring competent rival Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. along with its huge portfolio of patent copyrights may cater all the attention of other leading smartphone and tablet manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics Co. and Microsoft Corporation.
“It gives a potential acquirer scale and share in a market that’s rapidly being dominated by Google and Apple. It might be valuable for someone like Microsoft that’s trying to make inroads into the handheld space,” Malcolm Polley, the chief investment officer at Indiana, Pennsylvania-based Stewart Capital said.
RIM is going through a tough phase as its current value has gone down from $83 billion to merely $13.5 billion, ever since smartphone makers Apple Inc. and Google Inc. dominated the entire market.

The fair, which offers the opportunity to shop in the evening for crafts and food from local vendors, will “add cultural vibrancy to the nightlife" in Jamaica, said John Wang, 33, the market’s organizer.
Since it launched in April the Queens Night Market, which is open every Saturday from 6 p.m. to midnight, has been attracting hundreds of people with its international foods from Chinese and Hungarian to Greek and Thai, a variety of crafts and live music, the organizers said.
The market, which will stay in Flushing Meadows Corona Park until Aug. 15, has to relocate before the upcoming U.S. Open, Wang said.
The fair will kick off in Jamaica on Sept. 5 and will be held on the parking lot on 168th Street, between 90th and Jamaica avenues, where it will remain until the end of the season on October 31.
Night markets, which are popular in many Asian countries, are gaining popularity in New York. In Queens, many of the bazaar's customers come from neighborhoods like Flushing and Bayside, which is why Wang said he was initially worried about moving it to more remote Southeast Queens.
But Wang said he believes the market will also soon become a popular attraction in downtown Jamaica.
Next year, he hopes to keep both locations, with the market open in Jamaica on Fridays and in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Saturdays.
He said most merchants will remain the same after the move this fall, but he also hopes "to attract many new food vendors and artists from the local area to help highlight the surrounding community’s economic and cultural assets."
“We welcome the Night Market as one more way to showcase all that Downtown Jamaica has to offer those who live, work and visit our vibrant neighborhood,” said Hope Knight, president of the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation, a local nonprofit which worked with Wang to bring the market to Jamaica.

FTR reports April 2015 U.S. Trailer net orders were 17,700 units, down 19% month-over-month (m/m) and down a disappointing 30% year-over-year (y/y). Order activity has cooled off in large part because many major fleets placed their orders in 2014 to cover 2015 requirements, but were also impacted by general economic factors. However, even with the decline, trailer orders have totaled more than 340,000 the past 12 months creating a still-healthy backlog, albeit 10% below January peak. Trailer build in April continued at a good pace, up 24% y/y.
Dry van and flatbed orders were impacted the most by the April decline. Dry van orders were down 32% m/m with build falling more than 6% from March. Flatbed orders were the lowest since July, but build remained strong at these manufacturers. Both orders and build remained solid for refrigerated vans as well as liquid and bulk tankers. Dump trailer orders started to slide in April; production, however, stays strong.
Don Ake, FTR Vice President of Commercial Vehicles, comments, “The traditional summer slump arrived early this year. This is not surprising considering the huge amount of orders placed late last year and the big backlogs. However, reports indicate the trailer market is cooling off, and the increased number of cancellations is definitely a concern. Order rates should keep falling through the summer months. Build rates are still robust, but most OEMs did not match their great March numbers. This indicates fleets are not as anxious to take deliveries which is consistent with a slowing economy and a moderating freight market.”

Samsung isn’t yet ready to commit to a release date for its troubled Galaxy Fold. Information leaking out last month had indicated the delayed folding handset might be out before July. However, Samsung said today that it isn’t prepared to commit to a timeframe.
“We will announce timing in the coming weeks,” the Korean company told Cnet, apparently indicating it hasn’t given up.
The Galaxy Fold was supposed to launch in April, but several journalists immediately ran into serious problems with their review units failing. The introduction was pushed back. And back.
The company is reportedly redesigning the all-important hinge. And also making the built-in screen protector harder to peel off.
Samsung Galaxy Fold vs. Apple iPhone Fold
With a $1,980 price, the Galaxy Fold was never expected to be significant competition for the 2019 iPhone models. However, it was taken as evidence that Samsung is more innovative than Apple. The very troubled launch of this device has certainly showed the advantages of the iPhone maker’s more cautious approach to new technologies.
Even so, Apple recently received a patent for a hinge design in a foldable phone, proving the company is certainly exploring the concept. That night not happen until 2021, or after Corning works the problems out of flexible glass screens. The Samsung and Huawei folding handsets have plastic ones.

The new year is off to a steady start in China. Data from the manufacturing, services and construction sectors continue to point to strong growth, but not overheating. This reinforces my view that no broad tightening measures will be introduced until the second half of 2010, when concerns about asset-price inflation will likely prompt Beijing to make small rate hikes.
The seasonally adjusted purchasing managers’ index (PMI), published by Markit, was in expansion for the ninth consecutive month in December, rising to 56.1 from 55.7. It has been in the 55-56 range for five months and, while I expect the index to remain in expansion territory this year (i.e. above 50), the current level may soften a bit as inventories recover.
The December figure was the second-highest in the more-than-five-year history of the survey, but production is not getting ahead of itself: Stocks of finished goods contracted for the second consecutive month, and in five of the last six months.
There have also been signs of improvement on the corporate profits front, with Beijing announcing in January that profits at larger industrial firms rose 69.9% year-on-year during the September-November 2009 reporting period. For the first eleven months of 2009, industrial profits rose 7.8%.
Performance has been aided by a weak base and companies will continue to benefit from this through the first half of 2010, after which the base strengthens. There are already signs that firms will struggle with rising input costs in the second half. The Markit PMI index for manufacturing input prices has been climbing steadily, to 69.9 in December from 44.3 in May.
Rising input prices are a serious concern because overcapacity and competition in almost every manufacturing sector severely limits the ability of firms to raise final goods prices. When, for example, the PPI rose to 115.4 in July 2008 from 103.6 a year earlier, it had almost no impact on the core consumer price index (which excludes food and energy).
With the global economy likely to remain anemic next year, energy and raw material prices will not return to mid-2008 levels. But I am concerned that rising input prices may dampen profit prospects in China’s industrial sector in the second half of the year.
It is logical to assume that the massive increase in credit and liquidity will generate serious consumer price inflation in China, but the equation is actually a bit more complex. A rise in the quantity of money in an economy can have three consequences: a rise in prices, a rise in quantity of output, or a fall in the velocity of money.
Milton Friedman wrote that "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon," but he qualified this by adding, "…in the sense that it [inflation] cannot occur without a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output." Although output in China is clearly rising, it trails the 30% growth in the M2 money supply, which partially offsets the impact of liquidity expansion.
As for the velocity of money, economists usually expect it to remain stable when evaluating the impact of money supply growth on prices. But not this year in China – the velocity of M2 was at its slowest pace in a decade in December.
The slower pace of money changing hands is reflected in Chinese bank accounts. The amount of money in household savings accounts grew by 19.7% in 2009, while corporate savings rose 37.7%. This means that much of the new money supply is not chasing goods and services; it is resting in the bank.
As a result, M2 growth has not, in most cases, led to higher prices. The CPI rose 1.9% year-on-year in December, but 92% of the increase came from food (non-food prices rose 0.2%), and this is due to seasonal factors, not increased demand. With output rising and the velocity of money falling – and firms unable to raise final prices due to overcapacity and competition – consumer prices should stay in check.
Two areas where rising money supply has led to price increases are real estate and equities: The National Development and Reform Commission said property prices in 70 cities were up 7.8% year-on-year in December, and the Shanghai Composite Index gained 80% in 2009. When Beijing does turn to interest rate hikes, it will be to rein in these two asset-price inflation cycles, not consumer prices.
The CPI is likely to rise 3% this year, from an average of -1% in 2009, but the key driver will be pressure on the food supply, not rising demand.

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has imposed a hefty fine of €345 million (approximately $368 million) on TikTok for its breach of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in relation to the handling of children’s data.
This investigation, initiated in September 2021, scrutinized how TikTok processed personal data concerning users aged between 13 and 17 during the period spanning from July 31 to December 31, 2020.
Key findings from the investigation include:
- Default public visibility of content posted by child users, thereby exposing them to potential risks from any individuals, whether TikTok users or not.
- Failure to provide transparent information to child users.
- Utilization of dark patterns to guide users towards privacy-intrusive choices during registration and video posting.
- A vulnerability in the Family Sharing setting allowed non-child users to link their accounts with those of minors, enabling adult users to activate direct messaging for child users aged 16 and above.
In addition to the substantial financial penalty, the DPC has directed TikTok to align its data processing practices with GDPR requirements within a three-month timeframe.
Anu Talus, EDPB Chair, emphasized the responsibility of social media companies to present choices, especially to children, in a fair manner, without nudging users towards decisions that compromise their privacy. She stressed the importance of offering privacy-related options objectively and neutrally, devoid of deceptive or manipulative language or design.
Disclosed plans to introduce a revamped account registration process
TikTok responded to the decision with a statement on its website, expressing disagreement with the ruling. The company noted that the criticisms pertained to features and settings that were in place three years ago, which have since been updated by configuring all accounts for users under 16 as private by default. It remains unclear whether TikTok intends to challenge the decision through an appeal.
Furthermore, TikTok disclosed plans to introduce a revamped account registration process for new users aged 16 and 17, which will automatically set their accounts to private. This update is slated for implementation later this month. TikTok boasts approximately 134 million monthly users within the European Union.
It’s worth noting that TikTok had previously incurred a €5 million (around $5.4 million) fine from the French data protection authority in January 2023 for breaches related to cookie consent rules and the complexity of its opt-out mechanism compared to opt-in.
This development closely follows California’s Attorney General’s announcement of Google’s agreement to pay $93 million to settle a privacy lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged Google’s violation of California’s consumer protection laws by collecting user location data for profiling and advertising purposes without obtaining informed consent.
