- Thursday, April 26, 2012, 1:21 PM Groupon (GRPN -2.4%) heads south following CEO Andrew Mason's all-hands meeting. Possibly hurting shares is Amazon's (AMZN) introduction of new personalization features for its AmazonLocal daily deals product. Amazon's effort will rely on user preferences and the company's extensive experience in offering product recommendations. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 26, 2012, 7:32 AM Analysts covering Amazon (AMZN) expect the company to report that it grew sales by 31% in $12.9B in Q1, while showing a narrower profit than last year on costs including infrastructure. A big wildcard from the report that is due out after the market closes today will be sales numbers on Kindle devices, with whispers of slowing demand percolating. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 26, 2012, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Thursday's close: AEM, AMZN, AXS, BMRN, CERN, CINF, CLWR, CSTR, CYH, DECK, DOX, EMN, EXPE, FBHS, FII, FIO, GILD, IM, INFA, INVN, KEG, KLAC, LEG, MCRS, MET, MXIM, NXPI, PFG, QLIK, RSG, SBUX, SPN, SWKS, VRSN, VRTX, WDC, WSH, WYNN, ZNGA 1 Comment [Earnings]
- Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Thursday's close: AEM, AMZN, AXS, BMRN, CERN, CINF, CLWR, CSTR, CYH, DECK, DOX, EMN, EXPE, FBHS, FII, FIO, GILD, IM, INFA, INVN, KEG, KLAC, LEG, MCRS, MET, MXIM, NXPI, PFG, QLIK, RSG, SBUX, SPN, SWKS, VRSN, VRTX, WDC, WSH, WYNN, ZNGA Comment!

- Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 7:20 AM Amazon (AMZN) could see a challenger to its Amazon Lockers service after ShopRunner acquired PickupZone. The deal will allow ShopRunner to launch a network of locations in retail stores allowing its members to pick up their packages, similar to Amazon's model that is currently in a testing phase in Seattle-area 7-Elevens. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 7:15 AM Amazon (AMZN) strikes a deal with Nevada to collect sales tax on purchases made on Amazon.com by Nevadans. The new arrangement isn't effective until 2014, by which time a federal framework for sales tax on Internet purchases could be in place. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, April 23, 2012, 5:16 PM More on Texas Instruments' Q1: TI expects Q2 revenue of $3.22B-$3.48B and EPS (exc. one-time charges) of $0.36-$0.44, compared with a consensus of $3.29B and $0.40. Analog sales fell only 1% Q/Q in spite of seasonality, which suggests TI is benefiting from synergies related to the National Semi acquisition. Wireless chip sales (previous) fell 48% Q/Q and 43% Y/Y - Nokia definitely played a role, but did Amazon as well? TXN +3.8% AH. (PR) (earnings call - 5:30 PM ET) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Monday, April 23, 2012, 9:09 AM Amazon (AMZN) introduces a new website focused on product solutions for business and industrial customers. The company says AmazonSupply will offer parts and supplies to commercial operations at cut rates. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, April 20, 2012, 5:30 PM Having just announced it would begin selling ads for original content, Hulu says it will add 4 new original shows: We Got Next, The Awesomes, Don't Quit Your Daydream, and Flow. Web video rivals Netflix (NFLX), Amazon (AMZN), and Yahoo (YHOO) are also stepping up their investments in original programming, to the slight consternation of studios and traditional TV networks. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Wednesday, April 18, 2012, 6:59 PM Though Rackspace (RAX) and many IT giants have high hopes for the OpenStack cloud infrastructure platform, observers are wondering if it's too late for OpenStack to challenge Amazon Web Services' (AWS) dominance, given the manic growth AWS is posting, and its sudden willingness to integrate with private clouds. OpenStack supporters hope fears of AWS customer lock-in, along with the market's growth potential, will give it room to maneuver. 2 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 6:32 PM Amazon (AMZN) adds a new weapon in its battle to attract readers, acquiring the exclusive North American rights to publish the James Bond spy titles in both print and digital form. AMZN will make the paperback editions available to all retailers, while the digital titles initially will be available only via the Kindle e-book store. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 11:36 AM Amazon's (AMZN) has finally reached e-book distribution deals with some major Japanese publishing houses, reports The Asahi Shimbun. It's added Amazon has been squabbling with local publishers over the right to set retail prices (that sounds familiar), among other things. Progress remains slow: Jeff Bezos only promises that a release date for Japanese Kindles will be announced by year's end. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 12:18 PM Jeff Bezos' annual letter to shareholders trumpets the ability of Amazon's (AMZN) web services, fulfillment, and direct publishing platforms to "empower others to unleash their creativity," and asserts "even well-meaning gatekeepers slow innovation." That's likely a shot at the publishers whom Amazon has often been at loggerheads with, and also Apple (AAPL), whose e-book and in-app purchase policies have been a source of strife. Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 8:37 AM It looks as if Apple (AAPL) is serious about fighting the DOJ's e-book antitrust suit. Spokesman Tom Neumayr declares the DOJ's allegations to be "simply not true," and says Apple's entry into the e-book market "fostered innovation and competition, breaking Amazon’s (AMZN) monopolistic grip on the publishing industry." Some disagree. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 6:46 AM Amazon (AMZN) may be inflating the size of its streaming library by counting each episode of a TV series as a separate show. The 17K mark the company boasts of in advertising only represents approximately 1,745 movies and 150 TV shows. Netflix (NFLX) is reported to count individual episodes in its total as well, although it doesn't actively promote the inflated count. Comment! [Tech]
- Thursday, April 12, 2012, 5:08 PM Barnes & Noble (BKS -6.4%), off sharply for the second day following the DOJ's e-book settlement with 3 publishers, is up 1.6% AH after announcing a version of its Nook Simple Touch e-reader with built-in lighting. The product is said to be "optimized for low-light conditions," and will sell for $139. Amazon (AMZN), whose Kindle Touch goes for $99, is reportedly working on a front-lit Kindle. Comment!
