- Wednesday, September 14, 2011, 8:44 AM Shares of STMicroelectronics (STM) are up 7% premarket, as the tech concern gains with other downtrodden European chipmakers. The company demonstrated its Windows 8 sensors at the BUILD conference this week and is working closely with Microsoft (MSFT) on development. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 7, 2011, 10:53 AM Maybe Yahoo's (YHOO +3.2%) biggest problem is chairman Roy Bostock, not Carol Bartz. Bostock was board chairman when Microsoft (MSFT) made its $31/share bid for Yahoo in 2008, and his latest gaffe of firing Bartz over the phone was "an act of cowardice [that] allowed Bartz to immediately manage the public relations of the event," Doug McIntyre writes. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, August 26, 2011, 1:25 PM Tech stocks are a source of leadership today, as the sector has the Nasdaq well in front of its counterparts, +2.3% and on pace for a 5.5% weekly gain. ARUN +20.8% and P +6.4% are jumping after upbeat earnings; RIMM +3.1% and VMW +4.9% move on research upgrades. Stalwarts MSFT +2.8%, INTC +2.1% and CSCO +2% are among the Dow's leaders. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, August 26, 2011, 12:44 PM Microsoft (MSFT +2.7%) is the Dow's biggest gainer as attendees at a New Zealand tech conference preview what is billed as the firm's new quad-core Windows slate device running on yet-to-debuted Windows 8 (photos). One analyst calls the demo a "proof-of-concept," instead of a consumer-ready product. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, August 25, 2011, 11:06 AM Let's get real: In the long run, Apple (AAPL -1.6%) will not be the same company without Steve Jobs, Jeff Macke writes. Consider Microsoft's (MSFT) stock since Bill Gates left day-to-day operations in January 2000. From Henry Ford to Sam Walton to Howard Shultz, the history of companies after the departure of charismatic long-time leaders tends to be ugly. 5 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 24, 2011, 8:07 AM Shares of Renren (RENN) soar 14% premarket after the earlier announcement the company will work closely with MSN China (MSFT). Comment! [On the Move, Tech]
- Tuesday, August 23, 2011, 11:42 AM Microsoft (MSFT +2%) shares are on the move after announcing it will develop and market cloud computing products in China with China Standard Software.

- Friday, August 19, 2011, 1:50 PM Nomura analyst Richard Windsor speculates Microsoft (MSFT -2.2%) and Oracle (ORCL -1.1%) are two cash-rich tech giants standing ready to bid for Autonomy following H-P's (HPQ well-publicized offer, potentially pushing up the price tag. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 3:49 PM Digital River (DRIV -7.8%) is cut to Underweight at Morgan Stanley on concerns that its software and gaming segments "are becoming less relevant due to a structural shift in distribution to app stores where DRIV has limited presence." Weak traction in the consumer electronics space and dependence on Microsoft (MSFT) are also cited as concerns. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 3, 2011, 5:32 PM Google's (GOOG) Chief Legal Officer berates Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Oracle (ORCL) for their litigious approach to dealing with Google and its Android partners, which he says is "driving up the price of patents ... to insane levels." A look at InterDigital's (IDCC +13.8%) recent price movements makes it hard to argue. (more on IDCC) 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 3:46 PM Acxiom (ACXM +17.8%) reported an in-line FQ1 with slightly better revenues earlier today, but the stock is soaring as investors applaud the appointment of former Microsoft (MSFT -2.8%) executive Scott Howe as its new CEO. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 21, 2011, 4:11 PM Microsoft (MSFT): FQ4 EPS of $0.69 beats by $0.11. Revenue of $17.3B (+8% Y/Y) beats by $120M. Shares +2.3% AH. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Tech, On the Move]

- Tuesday, July 5, 2011, 4:59 PM Baidu (BIDU +1.8%), which inked a deal with Microsoft (MSFT) today, also got a lift from Collins Stewart, as the firm initiated coverage with a buy rating. Given the Chinese online advertising market's rapid growth, and Baidu's ability to outgrow the market, Collins Stewart believes the company can grow "at 40%-50%+ rates for many years." 2 Comments [Tech, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 5, 2011, 8:11 AM Microsoft (MSFT) signs a deal to grow its presence in China by offering English-language services to Chinese search engine Baidu (BIDU), and launching its own Bing search engine in China by year-end. The deal contrasts sharply with Google's (GOOG) continual battles with the Chinese government. Premarket: MSFT +0.5%, BIDU +2.3%. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, July 1, 2011, 9:25 AM TIVO may be a prime candidate for a takeover once it settles a 7-year patent dispute with DISH. Possible suitors could be Google, Microsoft, or ROVI. According to Maxim, the company could be worth $20/share, almost double its current price. Shares +3.9% premarket. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
