Apple has been exploring and developing the use of solar power to charge gadgets and extend the battery life of items like the iPad.
If Apple were to create and launch a gadget with this solar technology it would change the solar market drastically.
Last month Apple was granted a patent for a voltage converter and controller for charging a device with solar power. The patent focuses on algorithms and devices that can monitor and control the way a portable device could be charged most effectively though the use of solar power using both embedded solar cells and an attachable source of power.
According to the Patently Apple website, Apple has two solar-related patents granted and five more solar applications still on file.
Apple intends for solar energy to help improve the battery life of devices and the technology will allow for people to charge their device in locations where a grid is not available.
Solar panels and solar cells have typically been priced high, making solar technology an expensive investment. However, in recent months the price of both panels and cells has decreased dramatically. This is good news for the consumers out in the solar market.
Apple has always been innovative and has set the standard for technology developments. With iPhone sales expected to hit 30 million in the fourth quarter of this year Apple will not have financial problems standing in their way.
When Apple finalizes and launches their solar devices it is safe to say that other companies will be working to do the same.

Le libertarien agace....



During one commercial break, Rick Perry and Ron Paul continued their spirited exchange on stage. After other candidates stepped away, the pair continued to talk and, at one point, Perry grabbed Ron Paul’s forearm while aggressively pointing his index finger towards the Congressman’s face. Alerted by Perry’s menacing gestures, Ron Paul’s bodyguard (front left) was standing by, ready to protect the Congressman.

China had invested $317.21 billion in over 16,000 companies across 178 countries and regions by the end of 2010, according to a joint report by the Ministry of Commerce, the National Bureau of Statistics and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. 85.7% of the investments were made in Asia and Latin America and 88.3% of the investments were made in the business services, finance, wholesaling, mining and transport sectors.


China will need 5,000 new aircraft valued at $600 billion to become the world's second largest market in the next 20 years, Boeing predicted. The nation will need 3,550 new single-aisled aircraft and 1,040 new double-aisled aircraft, and the world will need 33,500 new aircraft valued at $4 trillion by 2030, according to Boeing.

Yahoo a annoncé hier le limogeage de sa directrice générale Carol Bartz après deux années difficiles à la tête du groupe internet, marquées par une stagnation du chiffre d'affaires et une relation compliquée avec son partenaire chinois Alibaba. Bartz, réputée pour son franc-parler, a indiqué dans un courriel de deux phrases adressé aux employés du portail internet qu'elle avait été prévenue par un coup de téléphone du président du groupe Roy Bostock."Je suis très triste de vous dire que je viens d'être limogée au téléphone par le président du conseil d'administration de Yahoo", a déclaré la directrice générale.Yahoo a indiqué par la suite que Bartz serait remplacée à titre intérimaire par le directeur financier.
Le portail reste l'une des destinations les plus populaires du Web mais le groupe est confronté à la concurrence de plus en plus rude de Facebook et de Google .La direction a par ailleurs été critiquée pour la gestion de sa relation avec son partenaire chinois Alibaba, dont Yahoo détient environ 40% du capital.Le désaccord entre les deux sociétés a culminé en mai dernier quand il est apparu qu'Alibaba avait soudainement cédé sa filiale Alipay à une entreprise contrôlée par le fondateur d'Alibaba, Jack Ma, sans en avertir Yahoo.

Yahoo va devoir continuer à s'organiser et à réduire ses coûts", estime Michael Yoshikami, du fonds de gestion YCMNET Advisors. "Le groupe a besoin d'une vision sur ce qu'il veut faire dans le futur."

La frénésie boursière est à off....

Canaccord Genuity’s Mike Walkley this morning raised his price target on Apple shares to $545 from a prior $515, while reiterating a Buy rating, writing that “channel checks” suggest sell-through was “strong” in August for both the iPhone and the iPad.
“Our August checks indicated the iPhone 4 remained the top selling smartphone at AT&T (T) and Verizon [Communications (VZ] despite consumer speculation regarding the upcoming iPhone 5 launch,” writes Walkley.
“Further, we believe Sprint[-Nextel (S)] will receive the new iPhone at launch and heavily promote it given the carrier’s unlimited data plan.”
Walkley raised his calendar 2011 iPhone estimate to 83 million units from a prior 80 million, and raised his calendar 2012 estimate to 107 million units from 105 million. He now estimates Apple may sell 59 million iPad units next year, up from a prior estimate of 56 million.
Walkley up’d his 2011 EPS estimate to $27.29 from a prior $26.37, and raised his 2012 estimate to $32.13 from a prior $30.29.

BBD.b.to had the share price tumbling down after investors reviewed the latest financial report and analysts started revising their outlook for the stock performance.
Bombardier hit a new 52-week low t after the price dropped below support of $4.50 per share. Trading volume was close to 20 million over the past couple sessions, strongly above the average 7 million and pointing out significant selling pressure.
Bombardier's situation worsened after the company published financial results for the second quarter ended July 31, 2011. Share price has been plunging down since the books were made public this Wednesday, August 31, 2011
. For the period ended:
Revenues were up 17.5% to $4.7 billion;
Net income up 52.8% to $211 million;
Recorded free cash flow of $1.1 billion;
Cash position slipped to $3.2 billion 23.8% lower compared to the beginning of 2011;
Held a backlog of $56.9 billion.
Despite the neat improvements in financial situation the more in-depth analysis apparently shows a possible slowdown in future operations. The company was recently downgraded by financial advisor Raymond James from Outperform to Market Perform over concerns of the company's aerospace outlook in the light of global slowdown of the sector.

30 000 boîtes



If it is true, it would be another sign of desperation. The Charlotte Observer reports that Bank of America could lay-off 30,000 people over several years.
The bank has come under new pressure as the government announced a suit against 17 financial firms which it claims misrepresented the risk of mortgage-back securities they sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The total losses from these was $200 billion. The possibility that the government can recoup of all that is unknown.
Bank of America has been rumored to need over $100 billion in new capital. There have also been rumors that the firm could be taken over by JP Morgan or another large American bank. B of A has attacked these as false, but its share price has done little to allay fears. The stock fell to $6.01 three weeks ago. Warren Buffett invested $5 billion in the bank which cause share to rally. Subsequent bad news pushed shares, which had recovered to $8.39, back to $7.25. The stock’s 52-week high is $15.31.
Bank of America can continue to deny it will need to raise large sums of money, an act which would nearly wipe out common shareholders. The firm’s stock says many investors have bet otherwise...
