Apple not worried about Kindle Fire, says analyst

Apple isn't losing much sleep over Amazon's Kindle Fire and in fact believes such low-priced tablets could ultimately bump up demand for the iPad.

The Kindle Fire Is On Fire; Amazon Expected To Ship 3.9 Million This Quarter

techcrunch.com - The Kindle Fire looks like a bona fide hit right out of the gate. New estimates from IHS iSuppli have Amazon shipping 3.9 million Kindle Fires this quarter, which would make it the No. 2 tablet after the iPad 2 (with an estimated 18.6 million shipments). The Kindle Fire will become the No. 1 Android tablet by a wide margin (the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the next biggest, with an estimated 1.4 million shipments). To put this 3.9 million number in context, just remember that the very first quarter Apple sold the iPad back in the September quarter of 2010, it sold 3.3 million. So the Kindle Fire sold more in its first quarter than the iPad did in its first quarter on the market. Of course, Apple sold 7.3 million iPads the second quarter it was on the market, which was the 2010 holiday quarter.

Update

Hello, it's beginning to seem like the Holidays for those browsing the blog i've been browsing the Google News and alot has been happening lately to do with Egyptian politics and Crypto etc. It was Black Friday I read about rapper on the cover of GQ; I didn't do very much outside I noticed shoppers crowding department stores. I didn't sleep on seeing the repeated attempts to highlight former spots i've been to. That is very cold for AT&T to give up more channels for a day and then remove it who did what???? I don't mind because I really didn't expect for my cable to get so many channels right on Thanksgiving day. Wanted to shop until I dropped but the channels went off as Cyber Monday appeared the channel lineup disappeared. So i'm back to basic cable however I had called dish satellite network to ask for new service and am told I needed credit. I was to find a Career Development Center to apply for jobs you know Texas is not the state you want at without income, but it turns out some University students are searching to find new jobs also. Last month one car was involved in a car accident so I didn't respond like holy smoke done in the previous cases, I hear it mentioned every now and then and dunno what else to say. Take a look at this map of traffic fatalities in the U.S since 2001. I've got to realize it's not just about obeying the speed limit - it's about more sometimes driving lessons can help do more than find a parking spot doing it right goes along with it. So much turmoil happening in the world alot of it concerning the euro-bond much rioting taking place but why? it's the end of the month. It's the end of the year and not much knowledge is being placed for the baby boomers. America is going through some trivial times what I say isn't going to end in the newspapers, but since my last purchase at the newsstand does sound very suitable for me. While here in Texas i'm certainly bored so what does winning really stand for? the holiday season a signature out from The Book of Revelations. L8r!

American Airlines, the U.S.’s third-largest airline, and its parent company AMR Corp. are filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the Globe and Mail reports. Like other U.S. airlines, the company has struggled for year with high fuel costs and labour disputes. Unlike some of its competitors, however, it failed to return to profitability in the past couple of years. Company president Thomas W. Horton replaced chief executive Gerard Arpey, who stepped down. The airline reassured customers that it would continue to operate flights, honour tickets, as well as the AAdvantage frequent-flier program, and take reservations normally while it undergoes restructuring.

Occupy Wall Street" protests go global

I took a look at the Occupy Wall Street protestors yesterday and came to judge them not as scary looking but with respect because they all seem to want something at the end of the day maybe it's capital. If your one of the individuals living in New York and have a problem with the way your city is being run why not avoid using the internet. Protesting sounds harsh but maybe it's goign to make a change if you do it in peace. I am interested to know what exactly they are doing standing and camping along Wall Street. This could be a sig of the times really are they even worried about the journalists looking at them? I suppose not. Looking at people from a wider angle you come to realize some may not even go into those suburbs, there is silence and with a good reason. If what they're fighting for is unemployment, racism, consumer rights, freedom, religion & politics then it paints a perfect picture we don't want you wasting time. They are wanting to take a stand is this going anywhere near the beaches? I presume to make it a kinder more gentle place to live. If you like watching movies then sometimes certain aspects of what you expect doesn't go by without setting off an alarm. I went into the electronics store the other day and an alarm started to sound, all I really wanted to do was explain how the darn thing worked. But are OWL protesters ever going to finish up and stand up for something else besides money? it's kinda like a bus boycott. I cannot see the reason why I shouldn't believe or trust my friends it's like the media has got their cameras and them a message. Next to being shy I despise having to sit and find a newspapers but if you could speak their language maybe their just blown away by the celebrity spotlight who knows. Cam 1 Cam 2

Review: Dreamhouse

Anyway I must have been looking at it from a different kinda perspective, everyone really wants a new home. In case your lost this is the best of daniel craig i'm posting this because I enjoy sitting in movie theaters. I don't know anything about New England i'm normally just rushing in to look at a movie, what it sounds like is a rumble in the jungle. Soon as you see the trailer and listen to what the girls are saying you immediately begin to second guess. Coming from down where I am living I usually have found watching flicks such as these to be a nightmare because how else is someone going to know it by asking.

Rick Perry's Social Security Extremism: Why It Will Sink Him

I happened to be watching the Republican debate and stood up thinking why should a woman be our next president. There were smart answers sometimes I dunno how to read in between the lines but PBS tried to take everyone back to the days of Bush vs Clinton. If you watched the debate you probably would have asked Romney vs Bachmann. When was it going to air because local sources mention the Texas governor traveled to California for a debate. The only way out is this fiery talk from Mitt Romney about social security and corporate mismanagement. I don't even want to ask what they have planned in Boston it just be feeling like torture. I wasn't looking for a showdown Michele Bachmann who simply stayed silent didn't add much except scan Perry's "crony capitalism” he was insulted. On Friday night, comedian Jay Leno pressed Bachmann on the “mental retardation” claim. Bachmann may be on to something here. If she can just get people to quit asking about the “mental retardation” flub.

Economics Works Backwards Now

Economics Works Backwards Now I didn't catch the After president spoke I happened to get it at the end when he's standing shaking hands I knew it was finished Anyway the evening went like this I was at Walmart Supercenter with my mom who had asked me earlier if I wanted to go visit a friend who lives nearby. I am looking at the unemployment situation like gosh I sat down and it's over. Here looking all this time why doesn't someone give me a call? i've expected to buy or get some kinda loan instead feeling the pinch from technological unemployment. Coming out from the situation knowing I had to move into a spot where I once worked to learn about kindness. First I shouldn't have missed the event which was talked about loudly and clearly. Secondly is the president is always in the public eye there is no excuse so I asked for the people I was with to hurry. Perhaps I was being nosey trying only to impress myself and not the female crowd. How many times does the president have to get on stage? beside's visitors from various places aren't recognized just listen to the crowd in Detroit. And showing up for the press briefing like it's a security conference makes him look big and tall. I seem to think there is money in the bank. It's not yours - it's not mine there are more than enough college radio station dj's on the airwaves. Who really wanted for you to stand up inside a Walmart that evening? do you really see the point i'm trying to make? a grocery store should open it and not question the illusion. There was something to purchase a product unable to give to someone the chance to be man. There aren't many jobs and there isn't a sense of class I drove away listening to the radio thinking why am I listening to this and not the president. Why was the car parked I was sitting at the traffic light looking to return home. I want to see myself succeed finding that job but not loose it.

Comedians lambast ‘Armadebtdon

In a segment titled “ Armadebtdon 2011” on Tuesday, Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” lambasted President Obama’s plea for Americans to make the case for compromise directly to their members of Congress.

“That’s your idea, call your congressman?” Stewart chortled. “Did the president just quit?”

Stewart also took aim at the optics. Rolling tape from Obama’s Monday speech in the opulent East Room, he suggested that Obama’s message of fiscal austerity might be undermined by the “begoldened-chaired, red-carpet path” the president had just walked and wondered if there was any way Obama could “do the ‘tighten the belt’ speech from a room that doesn’t look like the foyer of the Vatican?”

Update: Rihanna Dallas concert

My you tube account was recently reduced to show only one video the account was nearly suspended so it's been shutdown. Weftworld is no longer going to be accessible following a recent concert which I was at to see artist Rihanna live in concert American Airlines center. A fire was reported to have been at the top of the stage, I was seated to the right side and didn't know what was happening until I walked away breathless. Everyone starts to shout and look around I stepped out it was after this concert was finished a blaze could be seen on top of the stage. Afterwards firemen come running down the stairs and it was over, it was the first time i've gone to the AAC Rihanna feat J.Cole open the tour promo his album. I asked for parking think it was obvious something like that would happen, I couldn't find my spot which was nearby the front entrance away from the traffic light. She stepped up on stage singing and stuff I was seated there right next to where the fire started as a matter of fact before it began I tried not missing the stage acts performing their dance routine. I stood up to watch there was alotta light effects happening on stage, the summer is hot I didn't carry a towel, I tried to think by sitting down and not sharing any sentiments. Something was wrong it was loud I had come in from the entrance what went wrong? someone trying to illustrate your music should first of all watch Jurassic Park.

New IMF head Christine Lagarde faces immediate crisis in Greece

This I hear is going to be a better job although most don't think such a job should be handed to a female. Most of what is happening nowdays in the world of banking, is controlled by the chinese and people like president of the NY Fed Timothy Geithner who sat and sometimes appeared in the national media circuit intentions unknown. I dunno if the job suits an American with basic banking and conflict resolution skills. A match or the other seems like the world was going to stop if the Europeans didn't find her you get what i'm trying to say. Strauss Kahn who was escorted off may have been the right choice to my suprise he was charged then arrested by the U.S justice system. They were seeking someone with experince someone like the Israeli central banker Stanley Fischer. When disaster strikes in Japan much of it got to be highlighted "In normal times, you can probably rely on intuition," Mr. Fischer said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "But all the time, in different countries, there are serious economic issues" that need to be addressed, Mr. Fischer said, and IMF staffers often offer conflicting advice. "Without having that [economic] training, it's very hard to know, who's best. I thought mistake avoided a trillion gone with the wind. I checked into what happened following the disaster which struck Japan before traveling to Africa. The IMF is now controlled by a french diplomat Ms. Christine Lagarde, personally she's been in the newspaper from an economic standpoint communicating with politicians keeping the money flowing to the hands of the right individuals. There are claims that our president was anti business, thinks the real estate market to have boomed the broke down. So if your interested in knowing where all of our American dollars is moving to I would guess Kentucky or Boston.
Lagarde faces immediate tests in Greece, as well as a longer-range commitment to giving developing nations more power within the IMF.

Really Big D: Mavericks top Heat for NBA title

Uh oh, it really is “now or never” for LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki scored 29 points, driving for the go-ahead dunk with 2:45 remaining, and the Mavericks beat the Miami Heat 112-103 on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead.

Five years after going up 2-0 on the Heat, the Mavs finally got that elusive third victory, and can wrap up their first championship in Game 6 at Miami on Sunday night.

“We didn’t want to go to Miami and give them basically two shots to close us out. So we kept plugging there in the fourth. So definitely a big win for us,” Nowitzki said. “And now we have to go down there and basically approach Sunday’s game as Game 7.”

James, who called this game “now or never,” responded from his worst playoff performance with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and Dwyane Wade battled through a sore left hip after a first-quarter collision to finish with 23 points.

“I could have made a couple of more plays for my team,” James said. “But at the end of the day, all it’s about is a win or a loss. Triple-double means absolutely nothing in a loss. So we will be better in Game 6 on Sunday.”

Rant

I've just logged on and am using facebook for the first time in a number of days. To think how a family member had just put some images of me on the web so i'm unsure of what exactly amounts to a privacy violation. I'm however going to have to explain the danger of tagging, posting or even uploading any of my photo's onto a website like Facebook. Internet's not safe a bug will need to be reported, I don't want to say what that includes because it's a personal issue. Right, I just logged in and am away from my home computer, since the beginning of the week i've had to sit and think about my stay here in EA. If this or any such thing happens to you what do you think is the exact procedure of dealing with the matter. Talking perhaps isn't going to help solve the issue, i've just left him a note telling him/her how it upsets me to be looking at photo's taken before the funeral. Some of the people who wanted to attend weren't there so as soon as I returned, I jumped into documenting everything from his computer. So it's probably wiser not doing or saying anything until he removes the images himself.

Japan outlines plans to end nuclear crisis within 9 months

The operator of Japan's tsunami-hit Fukushima nuclear power plant intends to completely shutdown the crippled reactors in the next six to nine months. It also plans to sell off assets to compensate affected families.

Good Morning, this is very good news Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) the Daiichi plant seems to be a really troublesome issue to repair. I was looking at the news and I needed a translator because I under estimated the problems facing your nation. I have noticed the needs of the victims some are shown using their vehicles to carry supplies such containers, did the citizens of this nuclear crisis want to be affected by the reactors? so many questions need to be asked but I will leave it for the journalist.

Me though in life's sequester'd vale

ME THOUGH in life's sequester'd vale



The Almighty Sire ordain'd to dwell,


Remote from glory's toilsome ways,


And the great scenes of public praise;


Yet let me still with grateful pride


Remember how my infant frame


He temper'd with prophetic flame,


And early music to my tongue supplied.






'Twas then my future fate he weigh'd,


And, this be thy concern, he said,


At once with Passion's keen alarms,


And Beauty's pleasurable charms,


And sacred Truth's eternal light,


To move the various mind of Man ;


Till, under one unblemish'd plan,


His Reason, Fancy, and his Heart unite.

No new PlayStation, Xbox until 2014?

Cnn - Best Buy will be adding "dedicated" games sales clerks as well as gaming desks to their retail outlets solely for the purpose of expanding their video games department.

In a presentation, Best Buy senior vice president Chris Homeister described the initiative as a "gaming transformation" and a "drive toward number one industry position" in the video games market.

According to company data, Best Buy is currently behind retailers GameStop and Walmart when it comes to revenue from the games department. By adding "dedicated, informed, and engaged employees focused only on gaming," Best Buy hopes to turn the tables.

The new dedicated employees will be responsible for pushing what Homeister calls a "virtuous cycle," encouraging consumers to preorder and purchase not only the retail games, but also "exclusive digital add-ons" that then add trade-in points that customers can use towards another pre-order or purchase. Although, unlike GameStop, these trade-in points can be used towards any line of product within Best Buy's catalog.

The new expanded game departments will mostly take advantage of the shrinking music department, allowing more space for better dedication to video games.

I just found out that my grandmother passed away in a distant place, she was very close to me but I didn't


really know about her whereabouts. The latest news is that we are the only remainining individuals who are directly

related, I found out about the news shortly after my mother asked if I could get in contact with her oldest son. Nobody

has gone to meet him but i'm part of the family and have been told what happened. I last heard from her some months ago

the weather was sizzling, I could tell something was wrong it's only that I had a job working part-time so I enjoyed speaking

to her because I have not seen her for a very long time. It was in 2001 that she visited us in our apartment she was looking

forward to greeting everyone and watching me finish university. Now that i've heard what happened I felt something was

wrong because i've been listening to my own mother and thinking about what she could be going through as a single woman. My uncle explained to me that she was in a hospital and her age was seventy eight. This was a person that liked to see the family grow, she helped me start school we would sometimes go to the store in Nairobi lately though it hasn't come close

to measuring up to that act. I just recall a few moments and became overly emotional expecially after the election trials

happening. I don't know about spreading the message the way I have done in the last few days, while sitting down I thought to

let everyone know how I felt. She was frankly very old and asking for medical attention because nobody was around to see

her go to church and make a living. I have been following up on the news it seem like I may not understand my mother tongue which I let people know i'm only able to speak with the family. My late grandma visited Boston and appreciated seeing me and my family when next to home in Nairobi. To my recollection I don't know how many people are going through Kenya knowing what is happening around the world, it's not my business how they feel I don't want to forget anyone. I should have gone to see her, I called my family and asked them a few questions they are very poor and need a mechanic to make repairs. In Europe where I stopped to before arriving for my visit I purchased newspapers, there was really no need to do all that listening to music as I traveled through Schipol. I witnessed various films of the Mau Mau rebellion which is behind Kenya. When I stayed in my house during the daytime I would look at news and wonder about growing up black in America. So I hope that her journey wherever she was going was pleasant because I only witnessed her leave her home one time I think she raised them well. Other times I would see old movies of the Mau Mau rebellion prisoners being taken along for the ride, it didn't occur to me how depressing the rural areas looked few business along the road, it's possible to see the village we frequently visited in the summer, my grandma picked the perfect moment to lay on the ground and make us proud. I am going to miss her because of her work ethic which was normal, I could ask her anything after sweating through the night in the bedroom. Listen black this is a close relative I was coming home to close the door, if your behind me just know that she was very dear to me.

Okay reader this is a status update to let everyone know that this blog is up and doing well. Despite the changes and lack of feedback i've been thinking to continue with this service. Not to get over confident I haven't been out there as much as you'd think I should, but i've heard enough and am going to just say I like movies and long walks in the park. This follows the disaster which struck Japan, I dunno what to say it's all over the news and I even caught up with their news what an accident. It may not be easy displaying everything there is to learn about Tokyo, it's now a dangerous subject because many lives are missing or lost. My prayers go out to the citizens who have lived there. President Obama said the United States “stands ready to help” Japan deal with the aftermath. “Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the people of Japan,” he said in a statement.

Facebook

If you don't already know by now China is booming yet nobody seems to care, I hope you didn't miss noticing this is the next largest market for hardware and since leaving my last place of employment where computers got an upgrade I am wondering if Facebook is really the cause of this last blackout? are they serious about their ethics and business practices? it could be too much stress when asked about my retirement planning I couldn't think of anything else. This could be too much jargon seeing that social network won an Oscar, and communication with my manager about receiving my paycheck to walk up to it and notice the word enterprise application what does it have to do with anything? are all the changes i've made going to help me get up out of here? I said no but this only because i'm new to socializing online. In a fast economic region such as the U.S our structure isn't trustworthy for a picture is worth a thousand words. Either way i'm not known along Wall Street so on certain days when sitting down and/or looking into a tv. Some of my friends are not people I know personally I cannot access anything but I feel it's antitrust a lame way to be trying to even explain everything. It's a bit too fast i took a look at peoplesoft while standing there trying to clock in for work. There is no caring how to go about it, just looks like a quick way to get on Forbes i'm sorry but facebook should be doing all of that and not Oscar. There is't a cost but the incentive to obtain cash sorta like paypal and former alaska governor Sarah Palin who got her yahoo mail account hacked by a hacker. There isn't a cost but the incentive to obtain money or manage contacts why try if technology really does indeed say nothing but make a mess? this kinda creates a bank atmosphere where your sitting down and looking to go old school. I see users whom i've added but do not like to unlike you just because you got an excuse written down, if writing isn't something you enjoy doing facebook entries aren't much but a backdoor entrance to someone else's unwanted commenting and is probably isn't worth using due because of brainwash from biz television. I cannot understand their privacy policies getting criticism I don't want the unwanted BBS feel to it, what is it? facebook is probably not as complicated as you think. But I just checked and there is a number seventy eight under my link profile. Facebook is turning out to be very complicated I could understand if it was something like an internet service provider. To use it and post various headlines makes it one of the easiest websites to crack, I cannot find where to do such a thing. So maybe tell me your not just socializing but listening to an explanation about a minor misdemeanor traffic offense.

In first steps, new Dallas Mayor Caraway presses statehouse agenda

Dwaine Caraway hit the road for the first time as Dallas' newly minted mayor Tuesday, leading a delegation to the Capitol to press lawmakers on the city's agenda.

Caraway, who became Dallas' chief official Friday, kept to a whirlwind schedule and pledged to do what he could to stave off possible budget cuts.

"We'll do everything possible to escalate the city's agenda," he said.

The trip marked an unveiling, of sorts, for Caraway, the former mayor pro tem, and he seemed keenly aware of his new title's gravitas and duties. He acted every bit like Dallas' ambassador, leading a small delegation of city officials around the statehouse corridors and politely greeting lawmakers from across Texas.

Rant: Middle East uprising

today I was going to sit and look at Egyptians rioting in the news, but I left home going into a bookstore and returning home. This rioting in the news is beginning to take up most of my time, I notice that after last weekends diabolical riot which happens in downtown Cairo, Egypt following Mubarraks ouster. If you looked into the matter, these kinds of actions aren't normal it occured to me that they burn and smoke up the air, throwing stones often punching at the opposite side while shouting leave, leave, leave. I however happened to be slow in my thinking sometimes like a patient for these rioters who went searching for the law took it to new heights. Turn your computer on and try to understand the news media, what has happened there in Egypt, a place flourishing with tourists and real estate. Just seeing them make accusations and businesses holding up signs with arabic writing let's me realize there is no justice. In the same way a few more announcements from the broadcaster concerning anything to do with civilians being involved in a tribal war such as throwing up a tantrum. So I wanted for anyone with internet access to focus and take it personal. A moment I wanted for it to end if you were listening these arabs are certainly responsible for some of the massacres reported also crime and punishement. Rioting was an understatement meanwhile looking at them standing up burning the midnight oil but the radio during the evening may be boring for some it takes effort doing these kinds of things daily. I slammed into thinking two reporters speaking from a hotel, switching microphones and explaining what was happening as camera's followed the army and captured certain colors from the upscale neighborhood next to Cairo a rich suburb. If the event continued I meant to be looking at the for those citizens destroyed whatever made up their town. So there is hopefully a shout for liberty and human achievement.

Black Eyed Peas Vs. Tron: A Super Bowl Contest No One Wins

At the halftime show is a performance I supposedly waited a short while before
it all to appear as though I was in fact going to be missing Glee. I do recall
listening to a Lea Michell perform (America The Beautiful) prior to the beginning
getting her rave reviews; it was highly unlikely for them to give a united show to remember me by
the way it made up for our national anthem. I assume Katy Perry I understand there is just enough room for a Black Eyed Peas to screw up what I thought to
have been a basic show of prowess. Profusion maybe there was too much to remember if there wasn't enough happening already.
The weatherman suddenly becomes the hero of the show, at the end of it footballer Tom Brady is marked as the most valuable player. Really looks as though the band went the extra mile because you can overheard Eminem's 8 mile tweeaking up
my television speaker. I was looking for creativity, skills, colour, fashion and rock & roll. The commercialize one performance because all I see is alotta people on the field moving in unison. I was sitting down then I stood up for a few minutes and then walked off, I could have missed by watching as the crowd booed but for what the show began with Pittsburgh. Arrive at the
airport to take three buses back to Omni new hotel in my hometown. A reporter did the running man afterwards but she's a prototype don't pressure Fox they normally just Open up and Shut up.
