IKEA moves into consumer electronics with China venture

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:58:01 -0700

STOCKHOLM | Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:04am EDT

(Reuters) - Sweden’s IKEA IKEA.UL, the world’s largest furniture maker, is set to enter the consumer electronics market with products developed in co-operation with China-based TCL Multimedia (1070.HK

), IKEA officials said.

IKEA, known the world over for low-price, self-assembly flat-packed furniture, plans to launch a line of furniture with integrated connected television and sound systems in five European cities in June, throughout seven European countries this autumn, and in its remaining markets in the summer of 2013.

The televisions, wireless sound systems and built-in CD/DVD/Blu-ray players with this line of furniture is designed specifically for IKEA.

“This is a large step for us. We will have an offer that is unique in the market,” IKEA’s living room chief Magnus Bondesson told Reuters.

“We are launching a new concept where you in one place can buy your furniture and your electronics — designed for and matched with each other from start.”

The furniture aims to solve the challenge of living room clutter of cords and remote controls, he said.

Tolga Oncu, sales chief at IKEA Sweden, said prices will start at around 6,500 Swedish crowns ($960) for the simplest combination bench unit, television and sound system.

“We’ve had very clear signals from customers that there is a need to be able to buy and integrate home electronics with the furniture in a simple way,” Oncu said.

“With the way IKEA works, the way we can offer our products at the lowest prices on the market, we are convinced that this will be a really big success.”

He declined to comment on costs or sales and profit outlook for the new range of furniture.

The co-operation with TCL isn’t IKEA’s first venture outside the furniture sector. For a decade it has sold appliances developed in co-operation with Whirpool (WHR.N), and for the last three years it has sold appliances developed in cooperation with Electrolux (ELUXb.ST).

The foundation-owned group, with 294 stores in 26 countries, grew net profit by 10 percent in its 2010/11 fiscal year to a record 2.97 billion euros ($3.88 billion).

TCL Multimedia sells televisions and other multimedia electronics under the brands TCL, ROWA, Thomson and RCA, according to its Website. It reported an operating profit of 883 million Hong Kong dollars ($113.81 million) in 2011, helped by a 46 percent rise in LCD televisions to 10.9 million sets.

($1 = 6.8022 Swedish crowns) ($1 = 0.7656 euros) ($1 = 7.7583 Hong Kong dollars)

With Clik, Your Smartphone Can Control Screens Everywhere

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 18:47:55 -0800

http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/16/clik-universal-remote/

You’ve probably heard of Kik Messenger, a phone messaging app with the backing of Union Sqaure Ventures and RRE. It turns out Kik was just the beginning of the company’s plans — today it’s launching Clik, which is even more impressive.

Put simply, Clik can turn your phone into a remote control for any screen with a browser.

CEO Ted Livingston demonstrated the app for me earlier this week. Here’s how it works: You point your desktop browser at ClikThis.com, which generates a unique QR code. Then you open the Clik iPhone or Android app, aim the camera at the screen, and the app uses the code to figure out which device you’re trying to control. Once it’s synced up, you can select YouTube videos from your phone, and they’ll play on the screen.

The idea of turning a smartphone into a remote control isn’t new, but using Clik, the process of syncing up a phone to a screen is a ridiculously fast and easy, and it requires no extra hardware.

Once you wrap your head around the concept, what’s really impressive is the speed. When Livingston demonstrated the app, he could play videos, jump ahead, and adjust the volume instantaneously. I tried it out in the TechCrunch office, which has some of the worst AT&T reception known to man, and the lag was just 1 or 2 seconds. Apparently, Livingston and his team have had the idea for Clik for years, and they spent much of that time developing infrastructure capable of delivering that speed. In the meantime, they realized the technology could also be used to power a super-fast messaging app (namely, Kik), so the team “left Clik behind” for a little while, Livingston says.

And while the Clik app is limited to playing YouTube videos, that’s not the real vision. Instead, he says the app is more a proof-of-concept for potential partners, who may be in the video, music, photo, or games industries. Any online video service, for example, could use Clik to turn their smartphone app into a remote control for their desktop site. It’s particularly powerful because multiple phones can be synced up to a single screen — so you could challenge your friend to an online game, with both of you using your phones as controllers. Or if you’re throwing a party, you could have multiple DJs controlling the music from their phones. (On the second thought, that last scenario could turn into a disaster).

For now, you need an Internet browser for Clik to work, which rules out most TVs. Livingston said he’s currently targeting college students, who consume most of their media on computers anyway. In the long-term, however, it sounds like he has a plan for getting onto TVs too — in fact, he argues that this is a better approach to creating Internet-connected “smart” TVs. Rather than trying to build and push entirely new devices onto the market, Livingston says that with Clik, “Every screen just becomes a dumb output for your smart remote.”

You can download the iPhone and Android apps here. Clik is also starting to look at partnership requests, through the partner@clikthis.com email address.

Where's the Boss? Trapped in a Meeting

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:03:10 -0800

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204642604577215013504567548.html

By RACHEL EMMA SILVERMAN

What do chief executives do all day?

It really is what it seems: They spend about a third of their work time in meetings.

Live Chat: What CEOs Do All Day

Join Robert Steven Kaplan for a conversation about executive time management. He’ll take your questions Tuesday at 12 p.m. EST. Ask your questions now at wsj.com/careers

That is one of the central findings of a team of scholars from London School of Economics and Harvard Business School, who have burrowed into the day-to-day schedules of more than 500 CEOs from around the world with hopes of determining exactly how they organize their time—and how that affects the performance and management of their firms.

Their study—known as the Executive Time Use Project—incorporates time logs kept by CEOs’ personal assistants, who tracked activities lasting more than 15 minutes during a single week selected by the researchers. The project, which is ongoing, so far has collected data from three different studies of CEOs from around the world.

In one sample of 65 CEOs, executives spent roughly 18 hours of a 55-hour workweek in meetings, more than three hours on calls and five hours in business meals, on average. Some of the remaining time was spent traveling, in personal activity, such as exercise or lunches with spouses, or in short activities, such as quick calls, that weren’t recorded by CEOs’ assistants. Working alone averaged just six hours weekly.

The more direct reports a CEO had correlated with more, and longer, internal meetings, the researchers found. Rather than foisting off responsibilities to other managers, CEOs with more direct reports may be more hands-on and involved in internal operations, they said.

But not all direct reports are equal. In companies that incorporated a finance chief or operating chief into the corporate hierarchy, the CEOs’ time in meetings was reduced by about five-and-a-half hours a week, on average, the researchers found.

Even if a CEO has a lot of direct reports, “the effect of the CFO or COO is stronger,” and may help reduce a CEO’s time spent in internal meetings, says Harvard Business School’s Raffaella Sadun, a co-author of the project. The other researchers were Oriana Bandiera and Andrea Prat, of the London School of Economics and Julie Wulf of Harvard Business School. Their preliminary findings were just published in a Harvard Business School paper.

A Day in the Life of a CEO

Daniella Zalcman for The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal followed Shutterstock CEO Jon Oringer for a day.

The researchers said they weren’t surprised by the amount of time spent in meetings, since one of the roles of a CEO is to manage employees and meet with customers and consultants.

A busy meeting schedule—often conducted virtually in global companies—can indicate that executives are engaged with their companies and close to their managers and clients. Still, CEOs say they pine for more solo time to think and strategize.

Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge Technologies Inc., a Waltham, Mass., technology-services firm with about 4,500 employees, says he is constantly communicating with staff and clients. “I don’t know when I’m not in a meeting,” he says.

Instead of spending a lot of time in long face-to-face meetings, however, Mr. Cowan spends more time “doing frequent iterative touches,” either in person or via text messages, instant messaging and video chat—sometimes with “four or five windows open concurrently.”

As a result, his meetings rarely last more than 15 minutes, he says.

Lars Dalgaard, CEO of SuccessFactors Inc., a human resources software firm, says he spends about a third of his work time, at most, in formal meetings.

“While you are sitting in a meeting, your competition is getting stuff done,” he says. (Software firm SAP AG recently announced that it was acquiring SuccessFactors.)

NV “Tiger” Tyagarajan, president and CEO of Genpact Ltd., a technology-management firm, recently analyzed his time use to make sure he was spending enough time meeting with clients. He determined he was. But he does wish for more time to “sit back and think,” he says, or simply to bounce around ideas “without a fixed meeting or a fixed agenda.”

Mr. Dalgaard says he tries to dedicate as much as 25% of his week to thinking by making time on flights or blocking out time on his schedule—occasionally retreating to a quiet room or driving on the highway to let ideas crystallize.

Likewise, Mr. Cowan says that he tries to “build a big fence” around his first work hour in the morning at 7 a.m. to clear his thoughts, catch up on reading and manage email.

In contrast, Jon Oringer, CEO of New York based stock-photo provider Shutterstock Images LLC, doesn’t seem to lack “alone time.” He is rarely on the phone and averages about three meetings a day mostly lasting about 30 minutes, with some going up to 90 minutes.

The rest of the time he is usually scoping out his competition on blogs like TechCrunch, monitoring Web traffic and Twitter feeds and working on his own pet projects.

He is in the office from about 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., but says he works a lot from home, even during weekends.

“It doesn’t feel like I work when I’m working,” Mr. Oringer said. “It’s my thing.”

Executives’ assessment of how they spent their time differed from the actual records, as noted by their calendars and personal assistants, researchers found.

When top executives compare their top priorities to their time use, “they are usually surprised about the mismatch,” says Robert Steven Kaplan, a professor of management practice at Harvard Business School.

He recommends executives substitute the word ‘money’ for ‘time’ when deciding how to schedule their week. “With money… you’d be more careful and judicious about it. If someone asked you for some, you’d be more likely to say no,” says Mr. Kaplan.

The researchers’ global study involved both private and public companies from many countries; they didn’t determine whether executive time use correlated with a firm’s performance.

In another sample of 94 Italian CEOs, the researchers found that the way an executive budgets his or her time strongly correlated with a firm’s profitability and productivity, measured as revenue per employee.

In the Italian sample, the key to a company’s performance was with whom CEOs met. Meeting with external figures didn’t help a firm’s productivity, they found. Better performance came from more internal meetings, they found.

North Carolina School District Has Success With MacBook Air Initiative

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:02:37 -0800

http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/14/north-carolina-school-district-has-success-with-macbook-air-initiative/

The Mooresville, North Carolina district is one of a handful in the country to issue laptops, the MacBook Air in this case, to each student. Mooresville is attempting to turn the public school education on its head, using technology to change the culture of instruction. The district was profiled in the New York Times on Monday.

The Times says the district has “quietly emerged as the de facto national model of the digital school.”

[Superintendent of schools Mark] Edwards spoke on a White House panel in September, and federal Department of Education officials often cite Mooresville as a symbolic success. Overwhelmed by requests to view the programs in action, the district now herds visitors into groups of 60 for monthly demonstrations; the waiting list stretches to April. What they are looking for is an explanation for the steady gains Mooresville has made since issuing laptops three years ago to the 4,400 4th through 12th graders in five schools (three K-3 schools are not part of the program).

The district’s graduation rate was 91 percent in 2011, up from 80 percent in 2008. On state tests in reading, math and science, an average of 88 percent of students across grades and subjects met proficiency standards, compared with 73 percent three years ago. Attendance is up, dropouts are down. Mooresville ranks 100th out of 115 districts in North Carolina in terms of dollars spent per student — $7,415.89 a year — but it is now third in test scores and second in graduation rates.

Each MacBook Air notebooks is leased from Apple for $215 per year, including warranty. The total cost for the computers is around $1 million per year, plus an additional $100K for software. Families pay a $50 fee

The Mooresville Graded School District paid for the initiative by eliminating 65 jobs, including 37 teaching positions, and accepting larger class sizes. At the same time, schools could get rid of computer labs and antiquated teaching materials like hanging wall maps.

Steve Jobs biographer Walter Isaacson wrote about Jobs’ feelings towards American public education. Jobs felt the system was “hopelessly antiquated and crippled by union work rules.” Particularly galling to Jobs was that classrooms were led by teachers standing at a blackboard, using textbooks. He felt that “all books, learning materials, and assessments should be digital and interactive.” Feedback should be tailored to each student and provided in real time.

Instead of simply throwing technology dollars at the problem, hoping it can fix itself, Mooresville is using technology as a tool to help students learn.

Mooresville frequently tests students in various subjects to inform teachers where each needs help. Every quarter, department heads and principals present summary data to Mr. Edwards, who uses it to assess where teachers need improvement. Special emphasis goes to identifying students who are only a few correct answers away from passing state proficiency standards. They are then told how close they are and, Mr. Edwards said, “You can, you can, you can.”

Apple made its biggest stride yet into the digital classroom at an education-focused event last month. At that event, Apple launched a new digital textbook initiative for the iPad, plus easy-to-use authoring tools to help educators collaborate and share knowledge across school districts and disciplines.

Jobs’ vision for the digital school may be turning to reality in Mooresville, North Carolina.

TSA Forces Woman To Use Naked Body Scanner Three Times Because of “Cute” Figure

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:20:46 -0800

New legislation will force TSA to install “passenger advocates” at every airport

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Female passengers say they are being targeted by TSA screeners for sexual harassment, with one Texas woman being forced to pass through a naked body scanner three times so chuckling male TSA workers in a back room could get a good look at her “cute” figure.

The incident occurred at DFW International Airport earlier this month. Wife and mother Ellen Terrell was asked by a female TSA screener “Do you play tennis?” When Terrell asked why, the screener responded, “You just have such a cute figure.”

Terrell was then told to go through the naked body scanner not once but a second time. She then heard the TSA screener talking into her microphone saying, “Come on guys, alright, alright, one more time.”

After Terrell was forced to undergo a third blast of radiation from the body scanner, the male TSA agents in the back room who were obviously enjoying the show tried to send her through yet again to see more images of her naked body.

“Guys, it is not blurry, I’m letting her go. Come on out,” the female TSA screener said, finally ending the ordeal.

“I feel like I was totally exposed,” Terrell told CBS 11. “They wanted a nice good look.”

An investigation by CBS 11 News has prompted New York Senator Charles Schumer to introduce legislation that will mandate the TSA provide “passenger advocates” who will be on duty at all times to respond to complaints at every airport in the country.

The investigation found that female travelers are victims of a “peep show” by TSA workers who are using naked body scanners to target attractive women.

“CBS 11 News dug through more than 500 records of TSA complaints and found a pattern of women who believe that there was nothing random about the way they were selected for extra screening,” states the report, which lists numerous examples of men forcing women to pass through the scanners in a clear pattern of sexual harassment.

“Going through security at our nations airports should not be a humiliating or degrading experience,” remarked Schumer after hearing about the investigation. “Because the TSA has refused to put passenger advocates at our nation’s airports, today I’m introducing legislation that would force them to do so.”

However, critics argue that the position would just be filled by another TSA worker, and that such a program will only be worthwhile if the advocate is independent.

A far better solution would be for airports to take advantage of a newly passed law that enables airports to apply to have TSA screeners evicted altogether.

As we have exhaustively documented, TSA workers tasked with operating naked body scanners have found themselves embroiled in an epidemic of criminality, abuses of power, and sexual perversion, with new cases appearing on an almost daily basis.

These people are the least suitable candidates to be providing security at America’s airports, which makes threats by Democrats and people like Joe Lieberman that a “new 9/11″ will occur if the TSA is marginalized all the more asinine.

RIM: It's okay, we have superheroes -- Engadget

RIM: It’s okay, we have superheroes

It’s a common human trait that, when faced with a series of calamities, the brain will retreat into a fantasy world in which everything is the exact opposite of reality. Could this be the inspiration for RIM’s four new cartoon characters, which the company hopes will spread its “Be Bold” marketing message? The pattern certainly seems to fit. From left to right: there’s GoGo Girl, who “saves the day with a brilliant strategy” (translation: we don’t have a strategy). Then comes Justin Steele, who’s “always ready to stick up for his friends” (translation: we don’t have friends). Trudy Foreal “isn’t afraid to call it as she sees it” (translation: our shareholders are complaining). Finally, the adventurous Max Stone is “able to jump out of a plane” (translation: we’re going to crash).

Update: RIM has provided a little update stating that this is “not a new ad campaign.” Still, it’s fun to imagine what might have been.

Amazon Kindles 'go unused' after Christmas - Telegraph

Amazon Kindles ‘go unused’ after Christmas

The Kindle is the market leading e-reader

Last Updated: 9:29AM GMT 21/01/2012

Amazon’s Kindle e-reader was among the most popular gifts at Christmas, but many have gone unused, a survey has found.

More than a fifth of those who received a Kindle said they have not used it.

The main reason was that owners had failed to download any e-books, the survey found.

The Kindle was one of the big hits of Christmas 2011. A separate survey found one in 40 British adults was given Amazon’s e-reader.

Those who received an Apple iPad meanwhile, which costs around four times as much as a Kindle, were more likely to have used it. Only nine per cent of new owners said their tablet had remained untouched.

All gadgets beat the classic unused Christmas present, however. Some 91 per cent of 1,461 respondents surveyed by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk said they had not used “smellies and toiletries” they received.

Given the spate of closures, abandonments and wound-up projects, we can’t help but suspect Google’s mantra switching from “don’t be evil” to “sic transit gloria mundi.” Mountain View’s winding up online-image editing site…

Google continues to shutdown their past random acquisitions. Guess the Google developer lottery era has come to a close.

RIM PlayBook to benefit Quanta and Foxlink

Thu, 07 Apr 2011 20:06:45 -0700

RIM PlayBook to benefit Quanta and Foxlink
Yenting Chen, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Thursday 7 April 2011]

As Research In Motion (RIM) is set to launch its PlayBook tablet PC on April 19 in the US and Canada priced at US$499.99, its upstream assembly partner Quanta Computer and connector supplier Foxlink are both expected to benefit, according to market watchers.
The market watchers pointed out that Quanta is currently picking up it pace for the device’s shipments to RIM as Quanta internally sees the device as one of the major tablet PC orders for 2011.
Sources from touch screen panel makers also pointed out that PlayBook shipments were postponed for about a month from the original schedule due to a delay in software testing as well as shortage of touch panels because Apple already booked up most of the available capacity.
Foxlink has also recently started mass shipping its connectors to RIM for the PlayBook. Foxlink is also a connector supplier for iPad 2, the sources added.

Microsoft Exec Thinks Tablets Going Way of Netbooks

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 21:08:30 -0700

Is Microsoft hoping tablets will go out of style?

Craig Mundie, Microsoft’s global chief research and strategy officer, doesn’t seem to have much faith in the future of the tablet.

“I don’t know whether the big screen tablet pad category is going to remain with us or not,” he said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

Mundie’s beliefs run contrary to those of seemingly everyone else in the industry. Aside from the remarkable success of the iPad, virtually every hardware maker in the game has done their best to push out their own tablet. IDC, a tech research firm, predicts tablet sales will reach 42 million in 2011.

Mundie, however, believes that tablets will be stamped out as smartphones and laptops squeeze out the only-temporary tablet. Predicting that the smartphone will become “your most personal computer,” with laptops as a “portable desk,” Mundie noted that “mobile is something that you want to use while you’re moving, and portable is something that you move and then use.” The tablet, however, occupies the middle space.

“Personally I don’t know whether that space will be a persistent one or not,” he said.

His comments contradict not only the general mood of the personal computing industry, but the words of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who ten years ago proclaimed that the tablet was “virtually without limits,” going on to predict that within five years it would be the most popular kind of PC in America.

Story continues below

Of course, Gates was not quite accurate in his given timeframe—Microsoft’s early tablets failed to find a foothold. But Microsoft doesn’t seem too keen to try again this time round, despite a markedly different environment. The company has been slow to develop tablets up to par with the iPad or the Android-run tablets from others, and has yet to release an OS created specifically with the tablet in mind.

But maybe Microsoft can jump on the as-of-yet unrealized PC innovation Mundie does endorse:

“I believe the successor to the desktop is the room, that instead of thinking that the computer is just something on the desk that you go and sit in front of, [in the] future basically the whole room is the computer and you go in it,” he said.
