Apple Earnings About iPad 3 and the Tablet Market

2012-01-24T16:30:00.001-08:00

When Apple releases its earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2012 late Tuesday, we’ll learn just how much the tablet market has changed since the release of the Kindle Fire in November — one of the main reasons tablet ownership shot up over the holiday season.

With its bargain-basement price ($199) and the plethora of Amazon services on tap, the Kindle Fire was a hot gift this holiday, and Amazon says it sold a record 4 million Kindles in the holiday (thought it doesn’t separate ereaders from tablets in those figures).

Just how many people opted to buy a Kindle Fire instead of an iPad? At least one investment bank has already weighed in, and we’ll have a better idea in a couple of hours.

Looking back a year, iPad sales over the 2010 holiday season were 7.3 million, up from 4.2 million the previous quarter — a 73% increase. Last quarter Apple sold 11.1 iPads, so to match the previous year’s spike, Apple would need to have sold 19.3 million iPads.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that if Apple comes up short of that figure that iPad sales have completely tanked, though. Demand for Apple products is so high that the company regularly has issues keeping up supply, so just being in the neighborhood of that mark will be quite an achievement. But if it’s appreciably short — say, by 3 million units — then Apple has a problem.

A lackluster iPad figure would mean that Apple is seriously challenged by this new low-priced competitor. That would be a big blow to what otherwise is expected to be a big earnings season for Apple, since whatever happens with the iPad, the iPhone 4S is widely expected to give the company its best iPhone sales ever.

It might also give a hint as to Apple’s strategy with iPad 3. For the first two generations of the product, Apple has been consistent in keeping the price stable, just adding features and performance. If the Kindle Fire is seriously cutting into iPad sales, though, that could change.

If its new competitor is a real threat, we might see Apple focus more on aggressive pricing, with merely incremental upgrades to the design. Such a revamp could possibly delay the release. Or perhaps Apple might take the iPad line in two directions — the original, high-end model and a smaller stripped-down version that will give anyone considering a Kindle Fire reason to head to the Apple Store instead.

Of course, there’s also the very real possibility that iPad sales were barely affected by the Kindle Fire. That would mean tablets have become a two-tier market, with Apple dominating the top and Amazon gobbling up what’s left on the bottom. Anyone thinking about competing (Microsoft, take note) will need to first figure out where they want to take their fight.

Wherever iPad sales end up, we’re going to learn something new about the tablet market, and if we’re lucky CEO Tim Cook might even let slip a hint or two about iPad 3. Mashable will have complete coverage of Apple’s earnings, which the company’s due to release at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Stay tuned.

Tigers To Sign Prince Fielder

2012-01-24T16:26:00.000-08:00

Prince Fielder, who hit baseballs out of Tiger Stadium as a 12-year-old, is on his way back to Detroit, where his father, Cecil Fielder, starred for seven years. The Tigers have agreed to sign the free agent first baseman to a nine-year, $214MM contract.

The agreement -- the fourth largest in baseball history behind Alex Rodriguez's mega-contracts and Albert Pujols' recent deal with the Angels -- will keep Fielder in the Motor City through his age 36 season for an average annual value of $23.78MM. It doesn't include any opt-outs, Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio and ESPN.com tweets.

Though the market for Fielder seemed far from robust at times this offseason, agent Scott Boras has found an unexpected suitor once again. Over the years, Tigers owner Mike Ilitch and GM Dave Dombrowski have dealt extensively with Boras regarding clients such as Kenny Rogers, Ivan Rodriguez, Johnny Damon and Magglio Ordonez.

The Jorge Posada retirement press conference

2012-01-24T16:24:00.000-08:00

Everyone is settling in here at Yankee Stadium, all getting ready for Jorge Posada’s retirement press conference. I’ll try to use this post to file some updates along the way, but if you’re around a television, the YES Network is scheduled to televise the entire thing. You can also follow along on your computer at MLB.com. The press conference begins at 11 a.m. ET.

December 21, 2012

2011-12-21T19:03:00.003-08:00

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Seize the day. Only 52 weeks [] are left before Dec. 21, 2012, when some believe the Maya predicted the end of the world. Unlike enthusiasts of other doomsday theories who suggest putting together survival kits, southeastern Mexico, the heart of Maya territory, plans a yearlong celebration.

Mexico’s tourism agency expects to draw 52 million visitors by next year only to the regions of Chiapas, Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Tabasco and Campeche. All of Mexico usually lures about 22 million foreigners in a year.

It’s selling the date, the Winter Solstice in the coming year, as a time of renewal. Many archeologists argue that the 2012 reference on a 1,300-year-old stone tablet only marks the end of a cycle in the Mayan calendar.

“The world will not end. It is an era,” said Yeanet Zaldo, a tourism spokeswoman for the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, home to Cancun. “For us, it is a message of hope.” *

‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ Review

2011-12-21T19:03:00.001-08:00

The first installment in Stieg Larsson’s “Millennium Series,” The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo made its English debut in 2008 (the original Swedish novel was published in 2005). As the book was gaining momentum in America, production on a Swedish film adaptation from director Niels Arden Oplev and starring Noomi Rapace (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) as leading lady Lisbeth Salander, was nearing completion – and would open to critical acclaim from international and American critics alike.

As a result, it came as somewhat of a surprise that despite the success of the series, fan-favorite director, David Fincher (The Social Network) was gearing-up for his own adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Fans of Oplev’s film quickly dismissed Fincher’s attempt as an unnecessary American cash grab – while other moviegoers anxiously awaited what the celebrated auteur would bring to his own interpretation. Now that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is officially available in theaters – can film fans just dismiss the American version or has Fincher managed to deliver yet another critical and commercial darling?

The Shroud of Turin Wasn’t Faked, Italian Experts Say

2011-12-21T19:02:00.003-08:00

Has the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin finally been proven?
A new study by Italian scientists may not be definitive on its origins, but it does refute the popular notion that it was faked during the Middle Ages.
Experts at Italy’s National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Development have concluded in a report that the famed purported burial cloth of Jesus Christ could not have been faked.
According to the Vatican Insider, a project by La Stampa newspaper that closely follows the Catholic church, the experts’ report says, “The double image (front and back) of a scourged and crucified man, barely visible on the linen cloth of the Shroud of Turin has many physical and chemical characteristics that are so particular that the staining which is identical in all its facets, would be impossible to obtain today in a laboratory … This inability to repeat (and therefore falsify) the image on the Shroud makes it impossible to formulate a reliable hypothesis on how the impression was made.”
The centuries-old shroud contains a faint impression of the front and back of a human body, along with blood, dirt and water stains from age.
Many have long questioned the shroud’s authenticity, and others have suggested that it was faked during medieval times.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is sentenced to 90 days in jail

2011-12-21T19:02:00.001-08:00

A Las Vegas judge Wednesday sentenced boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. to 90 days in jail for his role in a 2010 domestic violence case involving two of his children and their mother.

Mayweather pleaded guilty to a reduced domestic-violence misdemeanor charge and no contest to two harassment misdemeanor charges in the Clark County (Nev.) courthouse.

The jail sentence complicates, and perhaps scraps, plans for a late-spring fight between Mayweather (42-0) and Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao.

"You don't need to be a genius to count the days," said a person in Pacquiao's camp, who was unauthorized to speak publicly.

With Mayweather scheduled to report to jail Jan. 6, his 90-day term would expire in early April. Clark County Court spokeswoman Mary Ann Price said, "He will likely spend approximately 65 days in custody," based on receiving 22 days of "good-time [behavior] credit," in addition to three other days of credit for time served.

'The Hobbit' movie trailer: what it tells us, what it leaves a mystery (VIDEO)

2011-12-21T19:01:00.001-08:00

For a video clip that's only about 153 seconds long, it's sure getting lots of attention. And for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien or Peter Jackson – well, it should.

The movie trailer (see below) for the long-awaited movie about an unexpected journey arrived Wednesday. And it reveals a lot for those fans to chew over, tantalizing footage from a film that's still a year away from arrival in movie theaters.

For now, here's a discussion of three of the more interesting bits.

IN PICTURES: Hobbits around the world

1. How non-"Hobbit" material fits in

Mr. Jackson and the team behind the movie seized the opportunity to stretch a single book by Mr. Tolkien into two cinematic parts. In doing so, the director is bringing in some material that was outside Tolkein's book, but is a part of the broader Tolkien canon – appendices and other works that explain what was going on in other parts of Middle Earth during the events of "The Hobbit."

But it has been a mystery as to how he would accomplish this. The trailer provides clues.

For one, a key character seen in the trailer is the elf Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), who figured prominently the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but isn't in Tolkien's "Hobbit" book at all. Her presence in the film points to the inclusion of the so-called White Council and its battle of good versus evil.

NBA's Monta Ellis sued for alleged lewd texts

2011-12-21T19:00:00.001-08:00

(AP) OAKLAND, Calif. - A former Golden State Warriors employee filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against star guard Monta Ellis on Wednesday, alleging Ellis sent her unwanted texts that included a photo of his genitals.
In her lawsuit, which also names the team, Erika Ross Smith alleges Ellis began sending her several dozen explicit messages, sometimes several times a day, starting in November 2010 while she worked for the team's community relations department.

The messages included lines such as, "I want to be with you," and "Hey Sexy," and periodically asked her what she was wearing or doing, according to the lawsuit.

Smith would often reply with "What do you want?" or "I am sleeping," the lawsuit claims.

"On a micro level, my client has endured unwanted harassment, has suffered and continues to suffer emotional distress and trauma," her attorney, Burt Boltuch, said at a news conference in his Oakland office. "On a macro level, this type of conduct, especially in the sports world, must stop.

"She was embarrassed. She was intimidated. She felt scared and helpless."

THE RA.ONE MOVIE REVIEW 3d is better than 2d

2011-10-30T05:54:00.000-07:00

To watch Ra.One in 2D would be like blasphemy on a holyday. Watched in 3D, the film offers an awesome visual spectacle unseen so far in any Hindi film. Kudos to Shahrukh Khan and the Ra.One team for raising the bar. So what makes Ra.One in 3D a film not to be missed? All the dope dished out ahead.

For ages now, the VFX (visual effects) in Indian cinema has teetered precariously on an edge between tacky execution and suicidal budgets. We’ve seen superheroes, albeit scarce, defy gravity and lap up levity without us failing to imagine or even ‘see’ the morphed-out cables and harnesses that got the job done. It’s taken a Shahrukh Khan, a star with deep pockets and insane ambition, to break the barrier and provide the much awaited rite of passage for the VFX to come of age on Indian screen.

Ra.One, in that sense, is a triumph even though it doesn’t have one helluva story to elicit adulation for the writers. The story, in fact, is quite childish. A video game super-villain is piqued after having lost the maiden battle to a kid (Armaan Verma). So to exact revenge, he acquires a life of his own and steps from the virtual world to the real one to kill the kid, who happens to be the son of the creator of the video game Shekhar Subramaniam (Shahrukh Khan). Even as this villain Ra.One (Arjun Rampal) wreaks havoc and assumes different guises to kill the boy, the superhero G.One (Shahrukh Khan), made in the creator’s likeness, comes to the rescue of the kid and his mom (Kareena Kapoor).

The gorgeous Kareena Kapoor is enjoying the Ra.Onee adulation. The actress was seen glamming up the red carpet at the London premiere of the movie in a black sequined Dolce Gabbana gown while for the Dubai premiere it was her favourite Manish Malhotra’s festive sari. There was another Indian beauty, too, who made waves with her red carpet appearance at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival, and she was the actress Freida Pinto. Looking marvelous in a Salvatore Ferragamo gown, Freida hit the red carpet at the premiere of the film Black Gold with elegance and élan.

Michigan State Defeat Wisconsin on a Hail Mary Ground [Video Exclusive]

2011-10-23T04:14:00.000-07:00

Passage Michigan State hit Hail Mary - it bounced two people and ended up in the arms of Keith Nichol - was best time in college football this season.

Wisconsin, which is removed from the title of the topic with the last-second loss - that's why we need a playoff, people - led 14-0, but had a blocked field goal and punt and the Spartans, playing at home, reeled off 23 straight points.

Wisconsin lost 31-17 in the fourth quarter before the end of the two touchdowns tied the game, the creation of heroism Kirk Cousins. This finish is ideal for fans of Notre Dame - the Irish is not a scam so bad for his shameful defeat by USC 31-17.

Texas Tech Football Red Raiders | First Half MVP's Line Up

2011-10-23T04:10:00.000-07:00

OFFENSIVE MVP | QB Seth Doeg | I think it's very simple and relatively easy, Doeg arms return to the bar in what proved to be the games that were too tight against Kansas and Nevada, I think it was a huge, and perhaps most, then Why Texas Tech won two of those games. Doeg faultered last week and just before the week, but there is still a solid season, completing 70% of his passes with 18 touchdowns and four interceptions, all the time it takes the No. 4 trip (total yards) in the country. If I had to pick some players who would be candidates than Doeg, do not think that could go wrong with RB Eric Stephens and WR Eric Ward.

Outstanding Defensive Player | DT Kerry Hyder | I had a hard time trying to find that it should be, and the course of a sense given the overall lack of success in this defense (82nd Overall, 111 in the run defense and 20th on defense against the pass). You can certainly make the case that maybe DJ Johnson (some big plays against Kansas), was Cody Davis (second on the team in tackles with 7.40), or even surprising rookie LB Blake Dees (third team with 5.00 tackles per game, 4.0 and 2 TFL force escaped). But it was Hyder who I think was the MVP of two different games I've seen so far, and although the Rush defense is abysmal, I have been impressed by the ability of Hyder have an impact on the game but it does not turn up the Boxscore. I like the fact that he is a sophomore, so there is something to build here with Hyder.

Special teams MVP | RB Ben McRoy | I would go with a lot of question marks, or even if you had asked me two weeks ago, I thought of Donnie Carona K, but have two blocked kicks (I understand that they may not have been entirely his fault) or the general lack of respect for the task, I thought it would be appropriate to consider a person for a special team MVP, but McRoy won, and it was electric kick returner when he was healthy. And it should not surprise you that McRoy is 19: e of the nation averaging 27.95 yards per return, considerably higher than all that Stephen had done previously, or Jamar Wall and Edward Britton for this question.
