Almost every major electronics manufacturer has suffered tremendous loss for Q3 2012, and Nikon is one of such companies. In fact, Nikon has just posted their Q3 2011 earnings, and according to their report, the company made a whopping loss of ¥10.9 billion or approximately $143.1 million. Nikon attributed the loss due to the widespread flooding in Thailand that damaged their manufacturing plant in October last year.
Operating profits for Nikon also suffered severely, whereby the figure fell ¥8.2 billion from ¥18.6 billion in 2010. Revenue wasn’t spared too, in which total revenue dipped from ¥253.8 billion in Q3 2010 to ¥215.4 billion, last quarter. Although the company remained optimistic this year, in which they estimate a forecasted gains of ¥55 billion this year, with revenue peaking at ¥925 billion.

Well the tablet war is still raging on – with Apple and Android juggernauts competing for the top spot. According to the latest report released by Strategy Analytics, it seems that the report suggests that Apple still tops the tablet market with their Apple iPad. Interestingly enough, Apple’s dominance might be shattered, as Android-based tablets are fast catching up with the iPad.
Generally, Apple now owns a gigantic slice of the tablet market, with 58 percent of the entire market share. The Android market share on the other hand, isn’t too bad at all, as they now hold 39 percent share. The Android has seen a gigantic leap over the past year, whereby shipments reached 10.5 million units for the last quarter, with Apple shipping 15.4 million iPads for the same quarter of the year. I’m guessing that the Android tablet would definitely give Apple a run for their money?

So what are ultrabooks? Superior laptops that have enormous data processing capabilities? Well not quite that, but ultrabooks are extremely small and thin laptops, and are accustomed to Intel, which the company is currently promoting these extremely slim laptops to consumers. Of course, Intel has voiced their intention to develop and market an ultra thin laptop sometime ago, and it seems that the company will be unveiling their technological marvel at the upcoming CES.
Insiders have also mentioned that Intel is reportedly planning a gigantic ad campaign, in which this particular advertising push is the single largest push in 8 years, in order to promote their Ultrabooks. I’m guessing that probably tablets and netbooks might be a thing of the past, after Ultrabooks claim the spotlight in the near future? Here’s a glimpse of Intel’s superiorly thin, Ultrabook:

Well not all firmware upgrades are perfect, and in the last update on the Xbox 360, it seems that users have experience a problem associated to a particular color space on their user interface. In fact, according to several beta testers that used the interface during its beta testing period, have reported the issue, but no drastic measures were taken to address the problem – up until now.
Microsoft has recently acknowledges that the Xbox 360 color space problem does exists, and that they are working on a fix to address the problem. Apparently, there are also other problems associated with the recent firmware upgrade, in which it is singled out to the HDMI output having HDCP authentication problems with certain TVs and receivers. We’ll just pray hard that Microsoft can deliver a solid firmware upgrade in the near future.

My wife loves flowers, and I normally send her beautiful flowers for special occasions like our wedding anniversary, birthday, and even Valentine’s Day. I admit that I’m quite a busy person, and sometimes running to the nearest store to purchase flowers is somewhat out of context given the busy schedule that I run everyday. Luckily, I can rely on this flower delivery by FloristExpress to deliver my flowers on time. Naturally, most florists offer free flower delivery services when you purchase flowers from their shop, but based on my observation, not many florists provide their services online. Personally, I find online flower shops to be a value added service, as I can purchase flowers online and have them delivered on a specified date. |

Sometimes going to war means that soldiers would need to be mentally and physically prepared to face various uncertainties. Of course, 21st century technology uses virtual reality on a wide scale basis, and apparently, the British has adopted yet another revolutionary ways to train their soldiers – through Xbox war games.
Basically, the British are using the Virtual Battlespace 2 as their training platform. Although Virtual Battlespace 2 isn’t anywhere near the Hollywood-style excitement of Modern Warfare, it still does the job competently well. And judging by the fact that the government is introducing various austerity measures to boost the already weak economy, the military can’t afford big-budget training exercises, which makes virtual reality training the next best option. Well, perhaps those that excel in the video game can be the universal soldier of the future? On the other hand, who knows military training can be such fun? – Sign me up will ya?!
