These Recent Events Confirm Nokia Could Trade Above $4 [View article]
OK I bought a dedicated "HotSpot" device that has 256 bit security along with the Phone. It adds $20 US/Month to my Data Plan, but I can leave it on through an entire meeting without it getting hot. I log into it wirelesly with either my Laptop or even a wireless printer. On the bright side, after I had finally talked the salesman into letting me buy the 928, he went home and researched it, and is quite impressed. Even said he was going to try to get one for his store to show to customers. Essentially, Verizon had not educated their staff about the 928, choosing instead to push the new Samsung.

(Also posted on "These Recent Events....)( http://seekingalpha.co... ) Yesterday I went in to my local Verizon store to buy my 928. There was absolutely NO Nokia advertising up in the store, and they had no 928's at that store. They did have 928's at the regional stores in 2 locations deeper in Albuquerque, but only found that out by calling them. The salesman (the Store Manager) tried very hard to sell me an 822 but I had to be insistent to get a 928. Furthermore, they tried to tell me that using the 928 as a "Hotspot" would overheat the phone-Until I pointed out that they did not have the experience with the 928 to be able to say that! Verizon Albuquerque is NOT promoting the 928, or any Nokia Phone, and seems to only grudgingly be carrying them.
Has anyone with a 920 or 928 used it as an Internet "Hotspot" and had any experience with any overheating, Battery overheating or damage, or burning up a battery? He also says that you can't use it as a "Hotspot" for more than an hour before running the battery dead.

Structural Change In The Mobile Processor Marketplace: Intel Wins; ARM, AMD Lose [View article]
Welcome to SA Arnold. You have weathered the usual "abuse" admirably well. While I admit to little technical knowledge, I can tell you of 3 truths. 1) Any writer here on SA will get a certain amount of support, and a ton of abuse from people who have money invested in an opposing view. 2) "What a fool believes, no wise man has the power...." 3) Seeking Alpha is all about the Market. and you can have the absolute best product, and your share price won't move until enough people actually see the meter moving with real numbers. Intel has a long history of staying range-bound. The fact that it has moved up like 24% YTD means that it will stall a while, probably even until the next reporting period. Investors just cannot accept that it will behave differently than it has over the last 10 years. I deeply appreciate your contribution to the Forums, and hope you will branch out to companies besides Intel to use your knowledge of Tech to advise us on other stocks. I'll certainly be watching.

I really have to admire the GE Marketer that brought their CAT scanners to market and actually sold them at a profit, as they were always considered Second Tier at best compared to Siemens and Toshiba scanners. Their Post Processing was painfully slow. I can remember waiting 20 minutes after a head CT to begin seeing finished images.
Nokia's (NOK) rumored 41MP sensor Lumia phone, codenamed EOS, will have a polycarbonate body and a display similar to that of the Lumia 920 (4.5," 1280x768 display), a source tells WMPoweruser. The source adds the phone will be lighter than the 920, that its thickness will be on par, and that its camera will sport a xenon flash and a lens cover "that opens when the camera app is started." A new camera app is also said to be on board. The Verge reported in January AT&T will sell the phone; considering T-Mobile is selling the 925, there's some logic to that. [View news story]
And I can remember when a hand held calculator was an inch thick and cost $200 That just did Add Sub Mult and divide. For another $100 you could get Sq Root.
The reports I have seen show a cover droping down over the Carl Ziess (sp) Optics between shots. Even the 920 has Image Stabilization. I never underestimate miniaturization, but then I'm old enough to have used a slipstick in HS, and remember testing TV Tubes at the Radio Shack.

Well, I gave him my 1cent just to see if he had anything solid to contribute, glad the penny came from SA and not me. Just gonna bookmark this, and come back after Q2. We'll see then what has happened. oh BTW, The DOD just approved both Apple and Galaxy devices for purchase, Evaluation of WP pending, so there goes much of that 600k phones they were hoping to sell to DoD
Intel: Sell The Ticks, Buy The Tocks [View article]
As I stated below, a Trader. I am not completely clear in my Bio, I'll update it. My current thinking is that, as in the last 2 years, July will not be the best time to be long, and it could happen earlier at these nosebleed levels.
Intel: Sell The Ticks, Buy The Tocks [View article]
Actually, I am a Trader when it comes to the Market. My long term investments are in companies that are not publicly traded. As I state in my Bio, my Market account is more of a hobby than anything else and I very rarely have a position for even a full year. I do not pretend to be anything else in my Bio. And yes, this is a very good article. I can remember "Benchmark Wars" going all the way back to the 6502, when Atari was getting 1.8 mhz while Comodore was getting 1mhz based on the way they used instruction sets. TI could have blown them both away with proper marketing, as they had the first 16 bit processor in the TI-99 while even the first IBM PC's were using 8 bits (I seem to remember that they started with the 8088, then switch downgrade to 8086 as the 8086 had better potential to be upgraded to 16 bits later than the 8088, but memory is vague) , but TI never publicized their performance advantage. Imagine the different world where IBM had gone with TI instead of Intel Chips. There was controversy even then over which benchmark was more accurate in doing Real World work. Pure instruction speed vs pipeline transfers. I have, in over 30 years of Tech interest, never seen a universally accepted Benchmark that everyone agreed on. Each builder chooses the benchmark that they try to build to. It took many years for 64 bit processors to be 2x the speed of 32 bit processors, as most programs could not fully utilize the bigger processor. Even now, Firefox is mostly the 32 bit version.
Verizon May Have Reached Its Near-Term Peak [View article]
Actually, I think you made good points not to initiate positions in either ATM. I am beginning to build my Cash position. While there has been no "Sell in May.." the last 2 years, July hasn't been so nice, and I think late June could get a bit testy.
Intel Won't Build Apple's Chips; It Still Makes No Sense [View article]
Intel has so much of the x86 market that it probably bothers the DOJ and any Tech company merger with them would be hated because the DOJ cannot legally break Intel's like 90% of the market anyway. I just don't think Apple/Intel crosses too many boundaries, they are just too big alone. So on that basis I would agree. My main point though is that there are too many other reasons that they wouldn't merge that it would never get to the DOJ.
That fear of "Excess Inventory" tells me all I need to know about Mr Elop. If you look at virtually any "durable" plastic product such as your Land-line phone, or the knob on your gearshift, would show you that system is right. They start with bins of pellets of a color, and the right grade of plastic, and you have a product cooling (one color all the way through) inside of minutes if not seconds. I don't buy Elop's lame "not wanting to embarrass someone" excuse. It was Elop he didn't want to embarrass.
