Des mets Italiens dans le buffet Chinois

Speculation that China may help rescue peripheral European debt markets from oblivion is consistent with Beijing’s strategic interests in the region and a prudent back-stopping of its euro-denominated investments.
Reports on Monday from The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times said Italy’s finance minister met last week with a delegation of Chinese officials — including the head of China’s sovereign wealth fund — in an attempt to persuade Beijing to buy a large amount of Italian sovereign debt.

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.

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."
