04/27/2004 01:00 PM

The Motley Fool - We don't yet have the technology to read other people's minds (although the public use of cell phones has given us unprecedented access to the private lives of perfect strangers). But in the world of banking, consumers have come pretty close to crawling into their lender's headspace.

Here Comes the Sun (The Motley Fool) 09/24/2004 05:51 PM
The Motley Fool - No, the U.S. is not on the verge of a solar revolution, and sunshine won't provide the country with "energy independence" anytime soon. But solar power is gaining momentum, and based on current trends, that momentum will probably continue to build.

Nokia Goes Hollywood (The Motley Fool) 09/08/2004 12:26 PM
The Motley Fool - To coin a phrase: It was the best of product placements. It was the worst of product placements. On Sept. 10, Finnish cell-phone handset maker Nokia (NYSE: NOK - News) will become a major Hollywood action movie star opposite Kim Basinger. Its new Nokia 6600 videophone will get the title role in the film "Cellular," distributed by Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX - News) New Line Cinema, as the heroic phone used by a police officer to track down a kidnapped Ms. Basinger.

The Motley Fool - Yesterday Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - News) announced its pioneer attempt at blog services with the launch of a beta Web log service in Japan. The service will be free and has a nifty feature allowing authors to access and update blogs with their cell phones. Japan, where 90% of households have Internet access and close to 90% of handphones are Internet-enabled, would make an ideal testing ground for Microsoft.

The Motley Fool - Hitachi (NYSE: HIT - News) is on the road to increasing the size of hard drives by a factor of 10. Of course, this won't come right away, but it's reassuring to know that Apple's (NYSE: AAPL - News) iPod mini may be able to contain a 20GB drive in a couple of years, vs. the 6GB limit the product has today.

Russia Combines Oil and Gas (The Motley

09/15/2004 01:38 PM
The Motley Fool - The invention of the American depositary receipt (ADR) was both a boon and a curse to U.S. investors. On the one hand, when foreign companies list their shares on U.S. exchanges, they make it a heck of a lot easier for the average investor to buy a piece of Nokia (NYSE: NOK - News), Cable & Wireless (NYSE: CWP - News), or SAP AG (NYSE: SAP - News) than it would have been if she had to figure out how to buy shares on the Helsinki, London, or Munich stock exchanges. But on the other hand, there are the -- to put it politely -- "inefficiencies" of buying ADRs.

Uncle Sam Wants Your Gains (The Motley

12/24/2004 12:23 PM
The Motley Fool - How much are you allowed to gain from the sale of stock before you must pay capital gains tax on it? Uncle Sam's hand is out as soon as you make your first dollar. However, you can offset some of the gain with any losses from sales of stock. So if you've made a bundle on Dell (Nasdaq: DELL - News) and have lost a bundle on Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW - News), you can eke out a bit of a benefit from the loss.

06/17/2005 04:35 PM
The Motley Fool - Earlier this week, IBM (NYSE: IBM - News) unveiled its latest and greatest supercomputer. The 91-teraflop monster, dubbed "Watson Blue Gene," is capable of cranking out a mind-blowing 91 trillion calculations per second. This ultra-powerful -- yet remarkably affordable, practical, and accessible -- computing tool is likely to give IBM a significant competitive advantage over competitors such as Affymetrix (Nasdaq: AFFX - News), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC - News), and General Electric (NYSE: GE - News) in the life sciences, information technology, and material sciences sectors.

The Motley Fool - It's been four months to the day since I last wrote on the subject of the cell phone industry's plan to publish your unlisted cell phone number for all the world to see -- and charge you for the privilege. Fortunately, the U.S. Senate has not been sitting on its hands all this while. Yesterday, the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee approved a bill on the proposed "E411" cell phone directory, sending it on to the full Senate for a floor vote.

07/20/2004 02:31 PM
The Motley Fool - If you have an interest in the handheld marketplace and a desire to invest in companies behind the iPod, cell phone, and PDA craze, ARM Holdings PLC (Nasdaq: ARMHY - News) may be your best bet. Most technology-savvy consumers know that Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) makes the iPod, PalmOne (Nasdaq: PALM - News) makes handheld computing devices, and Sony (NYSE: SNE - News), through Sony-Ericsson, makes cell phones. But how many consumers know that the real secret behind these little high-tech marvels is the advanced chipsets designed by ARM Holdings?

The Motley Fool - If you've ever had the entrepreneurial bug dig its teeth into you, odds are that you might take heart anytime a company's founder steps down and moves on. Granted, sometimes you have instances like Gateway's (NYSE: GTW - News) Ted Waitt and Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) Steve Jobs in which the originators come back to lead their companies, but that's rarely the case.

Stock Split Effects (The Motley Fool) 04/04/2005 10:26 AM
The Motley Fool - Stock splits are a fact of life in the investing world. Recently, companies such as Timberland (NYSE: TBL - News), Shuffle Master (Nasdaq: SHFL - News), and Apple Computer (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) have announced splits. (Read more about Timberland, Shuffle Master, and Apple.) How does stock-splitting affect a company's earnings, dividend, and fair value? Well, stock splits are minor mathematical events that change numbers, but not value.

The Motley Fool - Shortly after we came back from our big vacation overseas in May, my Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL - News) PowerBook was hit with a computer virus. I can't tell you which one, but it was enough to cripple my Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - News) Office for the Mac software. Symantec's (Nasdaq: SYMC - News) Norton Anti-Virus found the bug, and then eradicated it by exterminating my entire in-box. (Thanks, guys.)

The Motley Fool - The day that I hooked up my first NETGEAR (Nasdaq: NTGR - News) wireless router was about as exciting for me as riding my first (banana-seated) bike or driving a car (Chevy Impala) by myself the first time. Mind you, I'm no techie, just a person who had been confined to a desk for so long that it was starting to drive me crazy. When I picked up my laptop and walked out of my office and around the house, the feeling of computer independence was incredibly liberating.

Cell-Phone Towers' Mixed Signal (The

03/31/2005 05:45 PM
The Motley Fool - Let's get this said right up front: Cell-phone towers are downright ugly. Their appeal is that they are critical infrastructure for what's still a fairly new technology. Plus, new cell-phone features, like cameras and email, should hopefully increase the level of use and penetration relative to other developed countries, which would bode favorably for tower operators' businesses.

The Motley Fool - When it comes to corporate software solutions, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) companies Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL - News) and PeopleSoft (Nasdaq: PSFT - News), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) companies Siebel Systems (Nasdaq: SEBL - News) and soon-to-be publicly traded Salesforce.com, get all the attention. But collaboration tools and Content Management Systems (CMS) are increasingly important, though, much less talked about corporate software solutions.

The Motley Fool - The Olympic Games are now history, but not AT&T's (NYSE: T - News) $25 million ad campaign to redefine its image. After years of getting clobbered by the regional Bell companies such as BellSouth (NYSE: BLS - News), Verizon (NYSE: VZ - News), Sprint (NYSE: FON - News), and MCI (Nasdaq: MCIP - News), the company has turned its business focus from traditional phone service to networking.
