RIM officially intros BlackBerry Curve 8520, promises "out of the box" Mac compatibility (Engadget)

Jul 28th 2009 9:13AM The company that doesn't inovate, stagnates.

I agree with you mate. Dull and uninteresting handsets.

Yahoo! releases statement: Glad that's over (Download Squad)

May 5th 2008 6:28AM I agree.

Yahoo! may have some problems raising capital in the short term to push the company forward with the present banking chaos in the US but I think it can do it.

Yang's strategy was good and he should be applauded for keeping Yahoo! independent of the immoral hostile talks from Microsoft. Their behaviour here reinforces peoples opinion of Microsoft as a bad company intent on forcing it's vision at the cost of competition and innovation from others.

I agree the shareholders will be crying but only those who bought Yahoo! shares to sell to Microsoft. Those who beleive in Yahoo! will stick with them.

Apple to open 18th UK retail store in Bristol (TUAW.com)

Apr 8th 2008 7:04AM I agree. Western are always friendly and have never let me down yet. Also only 10 minutes walk from the centre. It's a shame they are going to be eclipsed after spending so much on their new store.

Atari lost another $70 million this year (Joystiq)

Jul 3rd 2007 3:47PM Atari started to die when it ate up MicroProse in 2001 and started laying off all the staff which had made the European arm of that company such a profitable and familar name. Now who remembers the premium brand that it was?

Given those in control of that asset stripping was the same people who had been running GT Interactive so disasterously and had lost a merger with MicroProse previously before it probably wasn't the best plan. A lot of badly placed managers running a company they shouldn't have.

From the prospective of many, Infrogrames/Atari is a firm the markets like when its taking on debt (seen as a company growing) and when getting rid of staff (seen as a company reorganising and consolidating).

I doubt it can pull itself around unless there is new management there and new fresh products.
