5 Key Reasons Advanced Micro Devices Is Still A Buy [View article]
I would much rather invest in SNE over AMD. SNE will regain its thrown in electronics after the release of the PS4. Not because of the console but the services it will offer through its console. Owning a entertainment production studio will play in its favor turning their console into an all in one entertainment center which will interface with smartphones and tablets. Their streaming services will focus on higher quality sound and video which will blow apple and everyone else away. I also believe that Sony plans to start charghing for Playstation Network access which will dramatically increase their reveneue with each console sale. Investing in AMD is too risky. They have been outguned by intel over and over again. Intel Archetecture has always blown away AMD and I don't think that AMD can dominate when they are already running on fumes. With the PC processor market declining and a slow entrance into the moble industry the best thing you might see happen is a buyout or merger.
Apple (AAPL) apparently goes after enterprise users, announcing the release of the 128GB version of the 4th generation iPad with Retina display (available Feb. 5 for $799). Whither the MacBook Pro? Shares +1% premarket. (PR) [View news story]
I think apple has introduced the 128GB to maintain price margins. They will eventually drop the 16 and move the 128GB in to the 64 price spot. In my opinion apple would prefer people to buy the smaller memory packages so they can push cloud services like itunes match. In theory as cloud computing become more popular we should all need very little memory storage.

If apple wants to turn heads they should start offering lossless music on itunes/itunes match rather than this compressed garbage. I would be buying a lot more music from them if the product i received was the same quality as a CD.

Because you'll use your iPad more. As our data speeds improve your tablet will slowly become a portal to much faster and powerfull computers. This is the future of portable and home computing as we approach hardware limitations over the next 10-20years. Then its on to quantum and/or molecular computing should it someday become reality.
Some Clearwire (CLWR) investors are pushing Sprint (S) to at least match the $3.30-a-share put out on the table by Dish Network (DISH), even if consummation of a CLWR-DISH deal is judged to be a long shot. Glenview Capital Management plans to reject Sprint’s current offer, while Taran Asset Management is already on record with a complaint to the FCC over the bid. [View news story]
I take that back if CLWR goes broke Dish will be a winner.

ok so what are our options here 5 bucks or 0. Its obvious that Sprint will be paying more than 2.97 but your dreaming if you think the number is going to be 5. I would expect somewhere between 3.30 to 4.30 range and a final deal to occur within the next few months. This transaction will not be benificial for anyone if once CLWR spends its last dime. Sprint needs to start putting that spectrum to use, which is something that CLWR has failed to do year after year. Maybe Sprint will offer sprint shares instead of more cash as part of a final deal. That would be a resonable proposal too.

Makes sense but long overdue. I wish i didn't buy my new ipad last christmas.

Ipad mini is not innovation. It is simply an ipad 2 in a smaller shell and it was release to compete with tablets that were already on the market at simillar sizes. Apple was playing catchup on this product line.

I have to disagree with you on OLED. The technology has significant advantages compared to the Retina in respect to contrast. Infact I believe that OLED screens will dominate the TV maket over the next 10 years. The resolution is not a factor because OLED screen resolution can quickly become eqaul to that of the iphone as it only requires that more LEDs in smaller package size be built into the screen. In fact I think LG even displayed an OLED 4K TV at this years CES. The manufacturing technology is currently being perfected to meet the life expectancy for a TV or monitor and we should see significant strides in the near future. I believe that when future designs are finalized the performance benifits in terms of refresh rates, ghosting of images, contrast, colors, resolution, and power consumption will significantly out perform LCD (Retina) and plasma displays. In addition to this it will most likely be significantly cheaper to manufacture these screens compared to existing technology once mass production begins. I would not be surprised if apple moves into OLED technology in the near term if they can push sharp to do so. The main issue faced with this technology is the life expectancy of the blue LED. The technology is already in use in many products where the life expectancy is less than several years. If you would like to do a comparison I would head over to best buy and take a look at the Sony PS Vita portable game consol which is built with an OLED screen. Many of the characteristics i mentioned are very apparent and will blow your iphone/ipad retina display away considering that the display doesn't even support 1080P resolution. The probable reason apple has not used this technology is because all of their largest competitors in the the Computer, smart phone, tablet and gaming markets (i.e. LG, Samsung, and Sony) are the developers.
Clearwire (CLWR) has resumed trading after disclosing Dish Network (DISH) has made a complex $3.30/share offer for the company. Shares +9.3% AH to $3.19. The fact Sprint (S) owns a majority of Clearwire shares and (given its rhetoric) might legally contest any agreement with Dish could be limiting Clearwire's gains. [View news story]
I've been invested in CLWR for almost 2 years and have purchased shares between $2.00 and $1.19.

I guess I can agree and disagree with you. Spectrum that is unused and not licensed by the FCC is of no value. Spectrum that is licensed by the FCC and is in use has value. Spectrum that is licensed by the FCC and is unused may be even more valuable than used spectrum and may not have any value at all (just ask lightsquare).
CLWR holds slightly more spectrum than ATT and V but ATT and V are using a huge portion of their spectrum for 2G, 3G and 4G technology and services. The remaining portions will be used for LTE services and V/ATT will need to aquire more or their customers will suffer slower speeds as damand for bandwidth and streaming increases. All the spectrum that CLWR holds can implemented for 4G and LTE usage and thats why its valuable.
Spectrums value is determined by what the FCC allows the buyer to use it for. The FCC has to ensure that the application will not interfere with military, GPS, and consumer electronics (again ask lightsquared).
Saying unused spectrum is worthless is like telling a farmer with millions of acres of un-used land its worth nothing. If there was a nuclear meltdown on the property you would be right but if you can grow or develop on it then you would be wrong.
You have some good points my friend but you have lots of bad ones too. The technology and authorization is out there to use CLWRs spectrum that is what makes it valuable.

Correct there is a combined global effort to use the 2.5 GHz band but all that means is that TDD-LTE will work on networks that own it. The combined effort to use this freqency was initiated to make it more cost effective for hardware manufactures to design chipsets to use it. Does not mean that 2.5GHz is the only freqency that TDD will work on. At some point ATT and V will be able to do the same using different freqencies once the FCC sells them off (I think this might be part of what the author author is trying to say??). I'm not saying you wont have worldwide roaming but you may be limited to who you can use for service in those locations. Future restrictions with roaming will be simillar to todays but global networks will probably have better compatibility for data.

Don't give up on the idea that sprint/dish may partner up. If S wants to hit $35 dollars then they need to provide all the same services as Verizon and ATT. Both company offer broadband internet, home telephone and television. With CLWR sprint will be able to provide wireless broadband internet and telephone. All they need is TV services and they could even stream that with wireless boadband instead of using Dish satilites. If this goes through Sprint will go even higher than 35$ because maintaining and upgrading a wireless network has to be much less than fiber, coax and Sat. The CLWR spectrum and bandwith is a gold mind. I bought back into CLWR post market hours on the news of the dish bid. I'm confident that S will do whatever it takes to keep CLWR in its pocket because they are nothing without them. I'm willing to take the risk of a loss on a gamble that S will raise the price from 2.97 to get dish off the table and make the remaining board members happy. Becareful with S stock because it will most likely drop if they do raise the buyout price. Longterm S will be a great investment if CLWR deal works out.
"It's hard for me to imagine that what Dish wants is Clearwire ... It could be a chess move to get a partnership with Sprint," opines Bernstein's Craig Moffett. Jefferies and Macquarie also think Dish's (DISH +2.1%) $3.30/share offer for Clearwire (CLWR +7.7%) is an attempt to cut a deal with Sprint (S -1.4%), long named as a potential 4G partner but currently in the midst of selling itself to SoftBank (SFTBF.PK). Macquarie adds a $3.50-$3.75/share Sprint bid might be needed to get Dish and dissident shareholders to back down. PCS +1.8%. LEAP +0.9%. [View news story]
Because if CLWR goes broke the assets will used to pay debt holders. I'm sure Dish will take spectrum in place of cash. Lets face it the Dish/S deal is already in play behind closed doors. Sprint owns control of assets and dish owns debt why else would the $2.97 offer from S be on the table.
