Microsoft gives shareholders 75 Billion 07/21/2004 04:20 PM

Wow imagine sitting around the board room and yawning and suggesting to throw 75 billion dollars back to the investors. That would wake you up but heck if they have so much money they ought to give me a call. I have a couple of ideas, just need someone smarter than I am to get it rolling. The bad thing about the really good ideas is that you have to be careful in who you tell or the next thing you know your idea is launched by the person you talked to. I guess that's why I have to sign Non Disclosure agreements all the time. Anyway congrats to the stock holders now if only Intel could afford to do something like that I would be a happy man.

Michael Dell Interested in Licensing Mac
OS 06/17/2005 03:18 PM
Some interesting news from Fortune Magazine today, as they discussed the upcoming switch to Intel chipsets for Apple computers with Michael Dell – who, notably – said he’d be interested in licensing Apple’s Mac OS.

Up until this point, many computer corporations have been weary of offending Microsoft by offering alternative products – but lately, Dell has been paving the way in offering their customers choices. Most recently, they’ve offered bundling their server line with Linux, an operating system rivaled by Microsoft. Their strategy remains unchanged to this day – as shown by their openness to license Apple’s software.

"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell wrote in a recent e-mail to David Kirkpatrick, a staff writer for Fortune Magazine. It's the first time any PC industry executive has candidly revealed interest for selling computers with Apple's Mac OS.

However, don’t hold your breath for Apple flavored Dell’s – licensing of their OS won’t occur until Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, gives the okay. In recent press releases, Jobs remains uptight when it comes to licensing to other companies. For now, Apple plans to release Intel supported machines manufactured on its own in the upcoming years.

Halliburton's busniess dealings in Iran

Halliburton's busniess dealings in Iran 07/07/2004 01:00 PM
Ha lliburton's business dealings in Iran: Waxman’s and Thompson’s complaints revolve around a Halliburton subsidiary called Halliburton Products and Services, which is based in Dubai and registered in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven in the Caribbean. As the Financial Times first reported, the subsidiary opened an office in Tehran in February 2000, when Cheney was still CEO of Halliburton. The subsidiary has sold $40 million worth of oil services in Iran.
Thompson, who is acting on behalf of the city’s pension funds, has asked Halliburton for clarifications about its business dealings in Iran, a country listed by the American government as a sponsor of terrorism and thus subject to stringent U.S. trade sanctions. Thompson claims that Halliburton has been using its subsidiary to circumvent a 1995 executive order barring American companies from doing business with Tehran.

Leaders of the power line networking space say that Wi-Fi's success in the home helps the power line networking industry: A spokesman for Intellon, which makes power line networking chips, says that the dead spots that result from many Wi-Fi networks in homes create an opportunity for power line networking, which can be used for network access in the dead zones. HomePlug, the alliance of power line networking companies, is also hoping to get ahead of its networking competition with a new standard it is working on that will be fast enough to support high-definition TV....
