Here Comes the Sun (The Motley Fool)
Here Comes the Sun (The Motley Fool)
09/24/2004 05:51 PMThe 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.

Is IBM Gearing Up? (The Motley Fool)
Is IBM Gearing Up? (The Motley Fool)
04/16/2004 02:17 PMThe Motley Fool - IBM's (NYSE: IBM - News) first-quarter results
yesterday largely met expectations, but the overall results seemed to
leave investors unimpressed, with shares off just over 2% today.
Tax Day for Motorola (The Motley Fool)
Tax Day for Motorola (The Motley Fool)
08/12/2004 02:46 PMThe Motley Fool - While Tax Day is officially April 15 for most of us,
yesterday was the official day of reckoning for Motorola (NYSE: MOT -
News). The No. 2 maker of mobile phones revealed in a regulatory
filing that it might owe $500 million in back taxes. Investors
have hammered the stock on the news, sending shares lower by more than
5% yesterday and as much as 2% more this morning.
Hitachi Packs 'Em In (The Motley Fool)
Hitachi Packs 'Em In (The Motley Fool)
04/05/2005 02:15 PMThe 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.

Microsoft Wants Your Thoughts (The
Motley Fool)
08/05/2004 12:14 PMThe 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.
Russia Combines Oil and Gas (The Motley

Russia Combines Oil and Gas (The Motley
Fool)
09/15/2004 01:38 PMThe 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.
Nokia Goes Hollywood (The Motley Fool)
Nokia Goes Hollywood (The Motley Fool)
09/08/2004 12:26 PMThe 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.
Uncle Sam Wants Your Gains (The Motley

Uncle Sam Wants Your Gains (The Motley
Fool)
12/24/2004 12:23 PMThe 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.

IBM: Outcomputing Its Competitors (The
Motley Fool)
06/17/2005 04:35 PMThe 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.

08/23/2004 12:08 PMThe Motley Fool - With the Google (Nasdaq: GOOG - News) IPO

2004. Well, there was another one: Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM - News).

09/02/2004 10:10 AMThe 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.
ARM Holdings Holds Possibility (The

ARM Holdings Holds Possibility (The
Motley Fool)
07/20/2004 02:31 PMThe 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?

Senate's Cellular Stand (The Motley

09/24/2004 02:19 PMThe 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.
Stock Split Effects (The Motley Fool)
Stock Split Effects (The Motley Fool)
04/04/2005 10:26 AMThe 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.
Mobile Boohoo for Sohu (The Motley Fool)
Mobile Boohoo for Sohu (The Motley Fool)
08/17/2004 05:45 PMThe Motley Fool - Chinese net stock Sohu.com (Nasdaq: SOHU - News)
dropped by 10% on Friday after the company announced that its
multimedia messaging services with China Mobile Communication had been
temporarily suspended for a year. The sanctions were imposed after
Sohu sent solicitations for phone messaging services without China
Mobile's approval. Sohu is now down 25% after its high-flying start to
this calendar year.

Read Your Banker's Mind (The Motley

04/27/2004 01:00 PMThe 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.

the financial press, such as Apple Computer's (Nasdaq: AAPL - News)
iPod profits and PepsiCo's (NYSE: PEP - News) boffo first quarter,

NETGEAR Solutions Yield Success (The
Motley Fool)
07/30/2004 03:52 PMThe 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.

Did Computer Associates Get a Good Deal?
(The Motley Fool)
04/11/2005 03:29 PMThe Motley Fool - Last week, there was a rash of earnings warnings
from enterprise
software companies. One such company was Concord Communications
Inc. (Nasdaq: CCRD - News), which announced that its eHealth unit was
unable to close 10 software deals at the end of the first quarter.
The company indicated that it would sustain a loss of $0.11 to
$0.15 cents per share. The consensus estimate was for a
$0.01-per-share profit.

08/18/2004 03:11 PMThe Motley Fool - Investors have unloaded on many software companies
lately, such as Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - News), Siebel (Nasdaq: SEBL -
News), Novell (Nasdaq: NOVL - News), and so on. However, with the
markets perking up this week, investors are a little more sanguine
about the sector -- at least for those stocks that exceed
expectations.

McAfee Finds Security in Foundstone (The
Motley Fool)
08/17/2004 05:45 PMThe 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.)

07/29/2004 10:04 AMThe Motley Fool - You won't find the word steakburger in the
dictionary. You will find it featured prominently on the menu of your
nearest Steak 'n Shake (NYSE: SNS - News). With its hand-dipped shakes
and signature burgers, the chain of 24-hour eateries has been a steady
server as well as a steady grower.

(The Motley Fool)
09/17/2004 02:07 PMThe Motley Fool - Progress Software (Nasdaq: PRGS - News) is making,
well, lots of progress in the tough enterprise software market. After
all, another enterprise developer, Lawson (Nasdaq: LWSN - News), saw
its shares plunge 12% on its warning for its fiscal first-quarter
results.
Cell-Phone Towers' Mixed Signal (The

Cell-Phone Towers' Mixed Signal (The
Motley Fool)
03/31/2005 05:45 PMThe 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.

05/05/2004 05:07 PMThe 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.

09/07/2004 02:07 PMThe 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.

08/19/2004 01:53 AMIt has been a long time since Apple made a little oops in the software
update process. Since the last update-round (presumably OSX 10.3.5) a
lot of single processor G5's have trouble sleeping, and so do their
owners. In an Apple forum almost
150 complaints have accumulated about this issue. Put
the Mac to sleep, the HD spins down, the screen goes black, but the
fans keep running. Sofar the only "feedback" from Apple has been a not
very helpful
info
doc.
Hopefully they didn't go home for the weekend before trying to solve
this one....

geeky high school student morphing overnight into your web-spinning,
friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man. But the Mar. 7 announcement that
Sir Howard Stringer would take over management control of Sony (SNE),
a $68 billion consumer-electronics and entertainment colossus, came
pretty close to defying belief in Japan. Sure, Sony is a
much-diminished force. But was it so…
