Vacuum cleaner manufacturer Hoover has offered to acquire Israeli start-up Friendly Robotics for U.S. $2 million. The negotiations with Hoover, were first reported in early August, and have now matured into a concrete offer. Friendly Robotics develops and manufactures robotic home appliances. Its first product was a robotic lawn-mower. Market sources believe that Hoover wants to turn Friendly Robotics into its development center in Israel, while retaining its 25 employees. Friendly Robotics was on the brink of bankruptcy and has been in receivership since early August. Petitions to liquidate the company have already been filed, due to its $5 million debt to the First International Bank of Israel. The bank petitioned the District Court to appoint a temporary receiver for Friendly Robotics to work with its management.
Friendly Robotics was founded by chairman and CEO Udi Peless and senior VP R&D Shai Abramson in 1995. The company completed a financing round in late 2000 at a company value of $85 million, with the aim of holding an IPO in the first half of 2001 at a company value of $250 million. This aim was not realized. Following the cancellation of orders by its main customers and the global slowdown, Friendly Robotics faced liquidation by mid-2001. In September 2001, the company managed to raise $7 million at a company value of $22 million, after money, on the eve of its closure. (Globes [online])

OAKVILLE When adversity rears its ugly head in Jason Barnes' football life, he doesn't have to look far to gain proper perspective.
The Toronto Argonauts receiver bares a tattoo of a heart with angel wings on the left side of his neck featuring the phrase, "Never Give Up." But the significance of those words is real: Barnes got the tattoo for his mother, Ann, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and succumbed to the disease less than a month later.
So, when life as a pro athlete presents Barnes with a hurdle, he need only look in the mirror to understand football is passion, it's not what defines him.
"I got it for my mom to keep fighting and that's something I live by every day," Barnes said following Thursday's practice. "Just a reminder there are bigger things than football.
"This is a game I love to play for a profession and everything but, at the end of the day, it's just a profession. There are bigger things to worry about than that."
Unfortunately for Barnes — who has just 25 catches for 358 yards and four TDs — it's a mindset he's had to put to the test this season.
The 28-year-old California native signed with Toronto in the off-season, reuniting with quarterback Ricky Ray, his teammate for three seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos. The expectation was Barnes' familiarity with Ray would help him become the Argos' No. 1 receiver.
But that didn't happen, as Barnes had just one touchdown catch through Toronto's first eight games. Then, last month, the Argos released the 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver after he recorded just 18 catches for 250 yards, before adding him to the practice roster shortly afterward.
Barnes returned to the Toronto starting lineup Oct. 14 for a 24-12 home loss to Montreal, registering three catches for 37 yards. He had four receptions for 71 yards in last weekend's 44-32 home loss to Winnipeg, with a career-high three TD grabs.
"I got rejuvenated, I had a little bit of time off," Barnes said. "I was mentally exhausted, I wasn't making plays I normally would. ... I had the chance to refocus and come to work.
"I just had to step back. I got my body back right and took my mind from all the stress and everything I was dealing with daily. I took a trip home to see the family and came back ready to go."
Ray shouldered part of the blame for Barnes' slow start. The quarterback said it took him time to get used to new head coach Scott Milanovich's offence.
"It took us a while to really have that kind of game together, that's what we both kind of expected would be early in the season for us," Ray said. "Some of it was me early in the season missing him on a few things but it was nice to get him back into a rhythm.
"He's such a good teammate. Being off the starting lineup for a few weeks and then coming back and playing a game like that was awesome."
Despite Barnes' struggles this season, Ray never felt the need to pull his teammate aside and offer encouragement or timely words of wisdom.
"I think sometimes it's awkward to talk about stuff like that," Ray said. "We all understand what's going on and you know he's a good player and will sort things out himself and he doesn't really need me coming up and giving him a pep talk.
"I mean, if it was something that really needed to be said, but I knew he'd be fine and (would) keep working hard so I didn't feel the need to say anything. He's the same guy, he just deals with it, comes to work every day and works hard."
Overcoming adversity is nothing new for Barnes.
On Oct. 8, 2010, he suffered a career-threatening ruptured spleen along with a bruised kidney and lung while making a catch in Edmonton's 36-11 road loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Fortunately, Barnes didn't require surgery and recovered but the Eskimos released him prior to training camp in 2011 amid concerns about an old ankle injury.
Barnes eventually rejoined the Eskimos and played out the season before being let go to pursue NFL opportunities. When he didn't get any offers from south of the border, Barnes signed with Toronto.
"I've been through some pretty tough things, so being released or being on the (practice roster) is something I've been through already," Barnes said. "I just know to continue to work hard and be a consummate pro and everything will work out."
Despite being released and relegated to the practice roster by the Argos, Barnes never contemplated retirement or leaving Toronto.
"I just felt I had something to prove still, I just didn't want to leave on that note knowing I can contribute more to this team," he said. "I didn't want to let those guys down.
"I just like being out here with these guys and going to war with them."
Milanovich praised Barnes' perseverance and professionalism.
"Since he has been back, he has practised real well, which was encouraging," Milanovich said. "Sometimes things happen for guys at different times so we're happy for Jason. He's been a pro the whole time."
The Argos (7-9) head into Regina having lost five of their past six games. But they still control their own destiny in securing second spot in the East Division and home-field advantage for the conference semifinal Nov. 11.
Toronto can lock up second place in one of two ways: either with a Winnipeg win over Hamilton on Saturday afternoon or by downing the Roughriders on Saturday night. Ideally, Barnes would prefer the Argos win their game and create momentum heading into the playoffs, but quickly added the top priority is qualifying for the post-season. Period.
"Once you get into the playoffs, it's a whole new season, that's all we're worried about right now," he said. "Our record doesn't matter as long as we win and get in. That's what we're striving for."

Pittsburgh diocese merging 4 suburban parishes
Citing declining membership, the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh will merge four parishes in northwest Beaver County and form a new one on July 15.
In a letter read at Masses during the weekend, Bishop David A. Zubik announced that Christ the Divine Teacher in Chippewa, Divine Mercy and St. Philomena in Beaver Falls, and St. Rose of Lima in Darlington will become St. Monica Parish. It will assume operations of Divine Mercy Academy in Beaver Falls, a pre-K-8 school that opened in 1889.
"The merger of your four parishes and the creation of the new parish of St. Monica has been a long and prayerful undertaking," wrote Zubik, who was raised in nearby Ambridge.
The Rev. Samuel J. Esposito, an episcopal vicar covering Beaver County, attributed the decision to the decline in the number of Catholics in the diocese, from nearly 1 million people in 1990 to 550,000 today.
Esposito said each of the four parishes has fewer than 2,000 parishioners. He expects St. Monica will have 6,000.
"These places have 100 funerals a year, so you figure in 10 years, that's 1,000 people," he said.
The Rev. Kim J. Schreck, pastor of Christ the Divine Teacher and St. Rose of Lima, will become the first pastor of St. Monica. Schreck could not be reached for comment.
Three church buildings — St. Rose of Lima, Christ the Divine Teacher and St. Philomena — will serve as places of worship for the new parish. Divine Mercy's building, which is nearly 150 years old, was condemned because of ceiling damage.
"The new parish would have to demolish it," Esposito said. "The value is not worth what it would cost to sell it."
The Rev. John F. Naugle, parochial vicar at St. Louise de Marillac Parish in Upper St. Clair, will become parochial vicar of St. Monica. The Rev. James B. Farnan, pastor of St. Philomena and Divine Mercy, will become pastor of St. Thomas More Parish in Bethel Park.
Farnan said he doesn't expect the merger to be controversial because the parishioners themselves suggested it six years ago.
"It just kept moving in that direction," he said.

Hi: 8° Lo:1°
By Connie Osborne Tuesday 08 July 2014 Updated: 08/07 17:05
A BURGLAR threatened an elderly woman while another ransacked her home in Batchley.
The two men entered her house on the Batchley Road about 1pm last Wednesday (July 2) and stole an unknown amount of gold and money.
They were described as being about 25, medium build and between 5ft 7ins and 5ft 10ins, and both were wearing white shorts and one had a white top.
A member of the public reported seeing three men, two of which were wearing suits, running from Pulman Close towards Batchley Road.
One of the men was described as chubby with a bald head and was wearing a blue shirt.
A house on Plymouth Road was also burgled between 9.20am and 12pm the same day.
The home owners had been out at the time and it is believed thieves forced entry through the back door and took jewellery and money.
Anyone with any information should call West Mercia Police on 101, quoting incident number 372S or
Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A year of many changes in agriculture sector
Looking back, it's been an extraordinarily busy year on the farm and food file, with changes to the structure and substance of farm policy in Canada so dramatic, the effects may take years to sink in.
The change that captured all the headlines -- the move to open marketing for wheat, barley and durum produced in Western Canada -- may or may not prove to be the most significant, given everything else that is taking place.
While all that was going on, there was some fundamental restructuring of farm supports and regulatory protection for farmers put into play that might give farmers a rude awakening when prices fall or a crop failure strikes.
Farmers and two levels of government cost-share a farm-support program called AgriStability, a sort of insurance plan that shelters them from sudden downturns in the value of their crops. It's a complicated formula that is designed to guarantee them a sizable portion of their average returns based on their farm's historical financial performance. Until 2012, farmers were able to insure 85 per cent of their farm's reference margin, which is based on the value of sales.
But with commodity prices soaring in recent years, program administrators could see a worrisome scenario looming. Farmers were building up some whopping reference margins, big enough that if prices dropped, they could be eligible for program payouts even if their farms remained in a profitable position.
Plus, there was evidence to suggest this level of risk-sharing was prompting farmers to over-extend themselves by bidding up the price of farmland.
That's a classic manifestation of "moral hazard," and many farm leaders were prepared for an increase in program premiums from 15 per cent to 30 per cent. But a second adjustment caught them by surprise. Governments also changed the payment eligibility criteria, so farmers are compensated based on the lesser of their reference margin or allowable expenses.
In most situations, that means the farmer is only able to insure to recover 70 per cent of his or her eligible expenses, rather than 85 per cent of the farm's average sales.
That shifts a large measure of the risk of marketplace downturns back onto farmers' plates and farm leaders were none too happy about it. One can hope farm-gate prices will keep going up, which would make all this moot, but every grain-price boom in the past has always been followed by a downturn.
Plus, 2012 was the year the Canadian Grain Commission celebrated its 100th anniversary. That celebration however, coincided with a major government-ordered overhaul, moving it away from its historic role as a regulator and defender of farmers against the "big, bad grain trade" and toward a less intrusive role as the keeper of Canada's export grain-quality reputation.
Oh, and by the way, it's moving to 91 per cent cost recovery instead of the current 50-50 split government and industry share right now. That means the fees it charges for its services will rise an average of 44 per cent, prompting a spirited debate on whether some of those mandatory services should be made voluntary.
The CGC is also getting out of the business of licensing grain buyers, which ensured farmers weren't left hanging by grain brokers who bought grain and then went broke before they paid for it. Although there are plans to replace the system, it will likely be in the form of an insurance plan paid for by farmers, not the grain commission or companies.
In other changes, federal agencies are no longer monitoring whether fertilizer products actually work. The responsibility for pedigreed seed field inspections is being off-loaded onto seed growers, and there is ongoing talk of making the seed-variety registration process less restrictive -- a move many argue could cause long-term damage to Canada's reputation for quality.
The one regulation announced in 2012 that actually increases the government's role was the long-awaited introduction of legislation designed to give rail shippers the ability to hold the railways accountable for poor service. To get that, grain shippers worked with other rail shippers across Canada, who all had the same complaints with the railway's performance.
All in all, these changes send a clear message to farmers, who have traditionally alternated between portraying an image of independent business operators or victims of circumstances beyond their control when it comes to environmental disasters or low prices.
The business of farming may be riskier than most, but this government is giving farmers the freedom -- and some tough-love nudging toward proactively managing more of those risks on their own.

Analysts weigh in on Apple announcements
- March 1, 2006
- Apple,
The consensus among tech analysts is that Apple's new iPod Hi-Fi and updated Mac minis bring the company closer to the center of the digital living room, but also show that Apple is not afraid of alienating iPod accessory makers.
"Both these products are a way to get more people slowly hooked into the Apple brand in the living room, sort of like what Sony did in its heyday," said Sam Bhavnani, an analyst at research firm Current Analysis.
Needham & Company analyst Charlie Wolf said he thinks the announcements are "just the start" of Apple's digital home strategy. "It's still a little computer, but it's adding a lot of capabilities that will allow it to morph into an entertainment center in the living room," said Wolf.
"Apple is taking steps to move their brand to other rooms beyond just the Mac," said analyst Tim Bajarin of research firm Creative Strategies of the Hi-Fi. "It's no longer just sitting in the den."
"I think they are going straight at the ultimate goal of digital convergence," Lehman Brothers analyst Harry Blount commented. "Apple already has a powerful media portal on the Internet and they need to extent the virtual portal into your living room." Blount said Apple "stills need to do more work on the boom box," referring to the iPod Hi-Fi. "That is where I wasn't blown away."
Merrill Lynch analyst Richard Farmer wonders if the two products required a special event, and if they're both too overpriced. In a research note provided to iLounge, he said that Apple "needs to be judicious if it expects to continue to convert journalists into marketing instruments with its aura of secrecy." Farmer also said that high pricing for the Hi-Fi and new leather iPod cases suggests Apple "believes it can position its accessories at a premium to competing alternatives."
"The price point and form factor are likely to appeal to people who are younger and have less disposable income, and who are making their first home stereo purchase," said IDC analyst Susan Kevorkian. "It's less likely to appeal to people who have a home entertainment system."
Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, said that iPod accessory makers should be wary of Apple's major new entrance into the iPod add-on ecosystem. "If you're an iPod accessories maker, (Tuesday's) announcement has to make you nervous," said Enderle. "The accessories market is clearly very lucrative, and Apple will be getting more aggressive."
"I was surprised when I saw that Apple was releasing another major iPod accessory," said Technology Business Research senior analyst Tim Deal, noting the release of the iPod Radio Remote earlier this year. "This sends a clear message to iPod developers and I'm sure it will breed some ill will."
Apple to benefit from home audio slowdown
- March 1, 2006
- Apple,
The wide-spread shift from CDs to MP3s and iPods has caused a drop in sales of large home audio systems, putting Apple in a prime position to sell its new iPod Hi-Fi to consumers looking for a simple way to enjoy their digital audio at home. While electronics manufacturers race to add iPod connectivity to their equipment, a new report in the Wall Street Journal says it may be too little too late.
"Sales of traditional stereos have taken a hit," the Journal reports. "Last year, retail sales of home audio equipment, including stereo system components and surround-sound 'home theater in a box' rigs, dropped nearly 18%, to 10.2 million units, according to market-research firm NPD Group Inc. In the same period, sales of portable digital players like Apple's iPod more than tripled, to 22.4 million units in 2005, from 7.1 million in 2004, says the Consumer Electronics Association, a trade group."
Music fans aren't just exclusively listening to their downloaded tunes on an iPod either. "Even when consumers aren't using portable devices, more are shifting their music consumption away from stereos," the newspaper says. "Among 1,031 adult respondents to a consumer-behavior survey published last year by the CEA, 34% said they listened to music at home primarily on a PC, compared with just 26% who said they used a stereo or surround-sound receiver as their main home listening system."
Apple media event coverage, with photo gallery

Special Apple event live coverage

- Apple,
The iLounge team has arrived at Apple headquarters for today's special event. We will deliver live coverage if at all possible. Closer to the beginning of Steve Jobs' presentation we will switch the site over to a "lite version" to better handle heavy traffic loads. While many new products have been rumored to be announced, no reliable information has been leaked. The only hint Apple gave was on the invitation to the event, which read: "Come see some fun new products from Apple.
Analysts speculate on Apple event: Movie downloads, iTablet?
- February 23, 2006
- Apple,
Following Apple's teaser invitation to a special event next Tuesday, analysts are weighing in on what they think the company will introduce. Speculation ranges from new Intel-based Macs to a movie download service to a tablet-size iPod with HD video.
American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu expects an entry-level MacBook laptop and an updated Mac mini, but also says Apple could announce the availability of its first full-length movie downloads. "We believe there is a greater than 50 percent chance that Apple will announce its first, full-length feature films available for download on iTunes," he says. Wu doesn't believe the company will debut the so-called "true video iPod."
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster thinks the event will be Intel-focused, but could also bring new iPods. However, he says it is less likely that Apple will release the rumored touch-screen iPod. "While it is difficult to predict exactly what Apple will announce next Tuesday, it is easier to predict what Apple will announce in the next 12 months," which he says could include new iBooks and Power Macs, a larger-screen iPod, a new iPod shuffle, Airport Express for video, an Apple-branded cell phone.
Bear Stearns analyst Andrew Neff says a new video iPod is likely, though it could turn out to be "tablet-sized or HDTV-based." "As speculation begins to build around what Apple could announce on February 28, we think—focusing on the adjectives 'fun' and 'new'—the most likely products are either a tablet-size iPod or a larger HDTV-based iPod," says Neff. "While more Intel-based products (new iBook or iMacs) or a phone are possible, neither strikes us as 'fun' or 'new'."
Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at the industry research firm Jupiter Research, reminds Apple watchers that no one really knows what to expect. "We're talking about Apple, so it could be all of those things, none of those things, or something brand new," says Gartenberg. Ross Rubin, an analyst at the market research firm NPD Group, said trying to speculate on what Apple might roll out at the event is a "fruitless guessing game."
Apple to hold special event on Feb. 28
- February 21, 2006
- Apple,
Apple has sent out an invitation to select media, including iLounge, to a special event that will be held at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California on February 28th.
The invitation, which only features the iCal-like calendar image shown right, reads: "Come see some fun new products from Apple." The special event begins at 9:00 a.m. at Apple Town Hall, Building 4.
iLounge has confirmed with Apple that this event will be taking place and is not a hoax like the email sent out last week purporting to be an Apple invitation to a special event on March 1st.
Apple confirms AIDS-related special event invite a fake
- February 15, 2006
- Apple,
Contrary to an earlier report, Apple will not be holding a special event on March 1. An Apple representative has confirmed to iLounge that an electronic invitation—marked with indicia of a benefit for AIDS—is an elaborate fake. The sender was apparently taking advantage of recent speculation that Apple would introduce a red iPod as part of Bono's Product RED initiative. iLounge apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.
Companies including American Express, Converse, Gap and Giorgio Armani have all joined the project and plan to release specially-designed red products with a portion of the profits going to the Global Fund to support AIDS programs in Africa. The U2 frontman was reportedly overheard mentioning that Apple would be joining the initiative by introducing a red iPod.
AT&T warns Apple of video patent infringement
- February 10, 2006
- Apple,
AT&T claims that Apple and others are infringing on its MPEG-4 video compression patents. Looking for global licensing agreements, AT&T has targeted Apple, CyberLink, DivX, InterVideo, and Sonic Solutions as companies whose products use the MPEG-4 technology. AT&T has also reportedly contacted national retailers that sell products from the companies, informing them that they may be held liable for infringement.
"With the recent explosion of products that use the MPEG-4 standard, including Apple's video iPod and Creative's Zen Vision:M, AT&T could stand to gather a financial windfall from its patented technology," reports PC Magazine. "An increasing trend in mobile phone multimedia also signals potential future profits to be made through the global licensing program."
Analysts see iPod speakers, iPhone in Apple's future
- February 9, 2006
- Apple,
Following a meeting with Apple executives at company headquarters in Cupertino, California, analysts from UBS Investment Research believe Apple could introduce several new products in the coming year, including iPod speakers and an Apple-branded cell phone.
"We also believe that Apple may choose to enter new consumer markets for iPod speakers and Apple branded cell-phones over the next year where the company would be able to leverage its market leading innovations and creative designs that have made the iPod such a tremendous hit with customers," the firm said. "In addition, we anticipate that Apple will continue to announce new partnerships with content providers and build on the media it currently has available for download."
iPod, iTunes highlights from Apple's Q1 conference call
- January 19, 2006
- Apple,
Following Apple's announcement of record earnings and revenue yesterday, the company held its quarterly conference call with press and analysts. Below are the highlights pertaining to Apple's music business, which accounted for 59% of the quarter's total revenue.
- The iTunes Music Store had an 83% share of the US market of legally downloaded music during the month of December.
- There are now over 2,000 different iPod accessories.
- Apple said it did "very well" in sales of both Apple-branded and third-party accessories. The company sees the accessories as a "recurring revenue stream."
- The iPod gross margins in the December quarter were above 20%.
- The iPod is now sold at more than 35,000 outlets, although not every retailer sells all iPod models.
- Stock of the 4GB iPod nano is still "lean" in certain areas, following tremendous holiday demand.
- The iTunes Music Store operated "above break even" during the quarter for a slight profit.
- There is more downloadable content on the way for video iPods.
- iPod Radio Remote sales are doing "well." Apple said it is "currently not meeting demand" for the device, but it is "working really hard" to try to do so.
Apple reports record earnings, revenues [updated]
- January 18, 2006
- Apple,
As expected, Apple today announced record financial results for its fiscal 2006 first quarter ended December 31, 2005. Apple's net profit for the holiday quarter was $565 million, or 65 cents per share, on $5.75 billion in revenue—the highest quarterly earnings and revenue in the company's history. These results compare to revenue of $3.49 billion and a net profit of $295 million, or 35 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.
During his keynote speech at Macworld Expo last week, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that more than 14 million iPods were sold during the quarter, which represents a 207 percent growth in iPods compared to last year. The total number of iPods sold now stands at over 42 million.
"We are thrilled to report the best quarter in Apple's history," said Jobs. "Two highlights of an incredible quarter were selling 14 million iPods and getting ready to launch our new Macs with Intel processors five to six months ahead of expectations. We are working on more wonderful products for 2006, and I can't wait to see what our customers think of them."
Update: In an SEC filing, Apple said all iPod models accounted for more than $2.9 billion in revenue during the quarter, an increase of 177 percent compared to last year. Apple's "Other Music Products" category—which includes the iTunes Music Store, iPod related services and accessories—accounted for $491 million of the quarter's revenue, a 177 percent increase year-over-year.
Apple's Jobs suggests Dell should eat his words
- January 16, 2006
- Apple,
After the close of the stock market Friday, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took advantage of his company's recent good fortunes to have a laugh at the expense of Dell's boss.
Shortly after Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, Dell's founder and chairman, Michael Dell, was asked at a technology conference what he might do to fix Apple. "What would I do?" Dell said. "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Apple's stock price saw a 12 percent surge last week, which pushed the company's market capitalization to $72.13 billion, passing Dell's value of $71.97 billion.
On Friday, Jobs sent an email to Apple employees, which read: "Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve."

Apple reports highest quarterly revenue ever
- January 10, 2006
- Apple,
In a rare move ahead of next week's expected earnings report, Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed the company's holiday financial numbers during his speech at Macworld Expo. Jobs reported that Apple had its highest revenues ever—$5.7 billion. "One for the records," said Jobs. In addition, the Apple boss noted that Apple retail stores had their first $1 billion revenue quarter.
Apple in legal dispute with Burst over digital media patents
- January 5, 2006
- Apple,
Burst.com, which develops video and audio delivery software, said it was sued by Apple on Wednesday for declaratory relief, alleging patent invalidity or non-infringement. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, follows "a breakdown in protracted negotiations for issuance of a license of Burst's patents to cover Apple's iPod and iTunes products," according to the company.
"Burst anticipates responding to the complaint and filing a counterclaim for patent infringement shortly," the company said in a statement late Thursday. "Burst remains committed to the enforcement of its intellectual property and looks forward to successfully resolving this litigation through a license covering Apple's Quicktime, iPod and iTunes products, including Apple's iTunes Music Store."
In March of last year Burst settled a major patent and antitrust suit against Microsoft. The software giant paid Burst $60 million to license its patents. "Since the Microsoft settlement, the company has been in patent licensing discussions with several companies engaged in the distribution of audio and video content on computer networks," Burst said.
Apple requests iPod Camera Connector compatibility updates
- December 7, 2005
- Apple,
Apple Computer is interested in updating the list of cameras that are compatible with the Apple iPod Camera Connector to reflect as many compatible models as possible. Developers and vendors of cameras can self-certify their cameras by downloading the PDF document iPod Camera Connector Compatibility, and follow the instructions to have products added to Apple's list of compatible cameras.
Apple details iPod sales in annual report
- December 1, 2005
- Apple,
In its annual report (SEC form 10-K) filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Apple summarized several iPod and iTunes related details.
Apple said that net sales of iPods rose $3.2 billion, or 248 percent, during 2005 compared to 2004. The company said it sold 22.5 million iPods in fiscal 2005, an increase of 409 percent from the 4.4 million iPod sold in 2004. Apple has now shipped more than 30 million iPods since the device's introduction four years ago.
"Strong sales of iPods during 2005 continued to be experienced in all of the company's operating segments and was driven by strong demand for the iPod shuffle introduced in January 2005, the release of an updated version of the iPod mini in February 2005, the release of the iPod nano in September 2005, and expansion of the iPod's distribution network," Apple said in the filing.
Apple said that net sales of other music related products and services, which consists of sales associated with the iTunes Music Store and iPod accessories, increased $621 million, or 223 percent, compared to last year.
"The company has experienced strong growth in sales of iPod services and accessories consistent with the increase in overall iPod unit sales for 2005," Apple said. "The increased sales from the iTunes Music Store is primarily due to substantial growth of net sales in the U.S. and expansion in Europe, Canada, and Japan."

"Come back to the Apple Store on the day after Thanksgiving for a special one-day-only holiday shopping event," reads a note on Apple's website. "You'll find dozens of great gift ideas for everyone on your list, and you'll get free shipping on all items." Last year's sale saw $20 price reductions on iPods, as well as discounts on iPod accessories, iMacs, digital cameras and more.
Lugz sends Apple cease and desist notice over TV ad
- November 4, 2005
- Apple,
Lugz Footwear said late Friday that it has sent a cease and desist letter to both Apple and its adverstising agency, TBWA/Chiat/Day, over the similarities between a Lugz TV commercial from 2002 and Apple's new iPod + iTunes spot featuring rapper Eminem.
As previously reported, Apple's new ad is strikingly similar to the three year old Lugz commercial, with both featuring an urban background in red, orange and yellow hues with a hip-hop soundtrack and black silhouette dancers.
"If you look at these spots, common sense would tell you that there's a problem here," Larry Schwartz, executive vice president and a principal of Lugz parent company JSSI, said in a statement. "The Apple commercial uses the most powerful elements of our campaign, making the ads disturbingly similar. We are prepared to vigorously pursue all legal remedies in order to protect our rights."

Publisher's Description
Judith loves Sam, despite his fear. Sam Hathaway left Capernaum Island with his widowed mother, and he thought he would never return to the scene of his father's death at sea. But years later, as a doctor who has faced the worst of wartime battle injuries, Sam believes God is calling him to treat the fishermen and families of Capernaum Island. Judith Morrison lives with her father in the lighthouse, where he is keeper. Her first sight of Sam after his return stirs something in her that she's never experienced. But her father and other men ridicule Sam for his fear of the ocean. When a great storm hits, the lighthouse may not endure it. With her father injured and the wooden tower damaged, will Judith be able to keep the lighthouse lamps lit, providing a beacon of love that will guide Sam to safety and reveal his true worth?

Interesting lineup selection from Chicago's preseason opener
Jan 28, 2013, 6:14 PM EST
When it comes to dissecting the double-top secret plans of MLS managers for the coming season, nobody should get too carried away, obviously, with analysis of lineup choices in January.
That said …
The selections might tell us something, along the lines of future possibilities and potential experiments, if nothing else.
So we look at the Chicago Fire's 2-0 win Sunday over Florida Gulf Coast University. The starting lineup (for the first of three 30-minute periods) looked like this:
- Alec Kann*, Logan Pause (captain), Jalil Anibaba, Austin Berry, Gonzalo Segares; Alex, Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere, Wells Thompson; Chris Rolfe, Sherjill MacDonald.
That certainly looks like an early version of Frank Klopas' starting lineup this year. Sean Johnson, currently in Houston with the U.S. national team, is the sure starter in goal.
And nobody needs to wonder about why Arne Friedrich wasn't in the lineup: the former German international was given permission to report late.
Interesting, then, that newcomers Jeff Larentowicz and Joel Lindpere (pictured) were the preferred starting midfield combo in a 4-4-2. (And that's not a bad looking center-of-the-park duo, is it?).
Of course, than left no room for Logan Pause – who was stationed at right back.
There was speculation that Pause was headed right there in 2013, so there's supporting evidence in that direction. Yes, in January, but still …

Consolidating iLounge news
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: Jeremy,
I am an iPod owner and iTunes user and was always a junkie for news about those products and even more so for news about the burgeoning field of digital download, from any store or format. At first the only clutter for me on the site was the mounting stories about iPod accessories that posed little interest for me. Now it seems there is so much iPhone news I rarely notice any headlines in my RSS feed that I want to click on, which leads me to look less often at the headlines.
I'd say I'm a bigger fan of the iTunes player than I am of even the iPod, so anything related to it or its competition, I always appreciate. And related to that would be news about at-home enjoyment of the digital music. Be it through a computer program or new piece of stereo hardware. To me, it's all related.
I suppose I see the above as such an exciting, changing world that even if I don't buy every new gadget (my iPod is 3G from 5 years ago), I still love to know what's going on. I certainly know the iPhone is part of that world, but with its navigator, camera, email, games, and well phone it just seems father and farther from anything I'll devote much time to reading up on for fun.
Is there a way to compartmentalize the site for users like myself?
- Tim K
A: Hi Tim,
Thanks for reading, and also for writing about this. Every weekday—seriously—Senior Editor Bob Starrett and I have a discussion about which iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, and iTunes news is worth covering on iLounge. I also work with iLounge's other editors to determine topics that might benefit from coverage in our review, article, editorial, and other sections. So you're raising a topic that's important to us collectively, and to me personally.
There's a simple answer to your question, which would be to focus your attention on the "iPod" section of the iLounge.com homepage, which is found by clicking on "iPod" in the big moving box near the top of the page; another would be to pull only the iPod- or iTunes-specific stories from our news archives whenever you come and visit. There is a "Browse news by category" feature there. On our side, we could make this easier for users by creating an iPod + iTunes RSS feed that would screen out iPhone and Apple TV news stories. If this would be something of interest to readers, we can definitely consider it.
However, my more complex answer to your question is this. Over the past year and a half, the dominance of the iPod and iTunes, as well as Apple's focus on the iPhone, have worked together to kill much of the frenzied iPod/iTunes developments that used to dominate our coverage. Specifically, what has happened since the January 2007 announcement of iPhone has been a profound shift in information out of Apple; "news" about the iPod or iTunes recently has tended to be little more than software bug fixes, sales statistics, minor feature additions, and patent filings. None of this is especially exciting to us, and obviously, it's not mindblowing for you, either. Some of this is just the reality that goes along with a niche player becoming the industry's 800-pound gorilla; the other part is due to fears that Apple has cultivated in developers and partners, in some cases stifling development, and in other cases its partners' discussion of developments.
At the same time, there's been more iPhone news and information to report, most recently on applications and the iPhone 3G, as well as a surge in the number of Apple-related rumors, speculative analyst comments, questionable survey findings, and other things that we'd categorize as "not news." Our view has been that we can either keep our readers entertained by reporting on rumors and other "not news" topics, or take a higher road and not treat every little Apple-related whisper, comment, or supposed survey as worthy of coverage. We've tried to take the higher road, but obviously, Apple fans love to talk about rumors, and the lack of real news out of Apple and third-party developers has created a vacuum, so it's a tough call.
The final issue is that the iPhone, to some extent, affects the destiny of the iPod. Apple has been committed for at least the last year to the idea that the most expensive iPods it sells will be stripped-down iPhones. Developments for the iPhone tend to have some importance to some iPod users, as well, but obviously, if you're not an iPod touch owner, you probably couldn't care less.
Please do know that we continue to take seriously the question of what information to present to our readers, and that we try our best to cover topics of interest to all iPod, iPhone, and iTunes users. While not every headline or article is going to interest you today, especially as an owner of an iPod that hasn't been sold for four years—one that Apple has long encouraged developers to transition away from supporting, no less—our goal is to have a database of accurate information that will be useful in the event that you upgrade. We hope that you'll continue to find us worth reading.

Price move by SPC Ardmona Factory Sales
SPC Ardmona Factory Sales owner Jim Andreadis reacts to fierce supermarket competition.DARREN LINTON May 4, 2012 4:29am
A Shepparton retailer is pushing back against the major supermarkets by launching a price guarantee for customers.
SPC Ardmona Factory Sales owner Jim Andreadis said the fierce competition between supermarkets in Australia had shifted public perception on the price of everyday goods.
It had also placed pressure on the market segment occupied by discount factory outlets.
''Retail is tough and you have to keep reinventing yourself,'' Mr Andreadis said.
The campaign, to be launched next week, offers a guarantee SPC Ardmona Factory Sales will be cheaper than the competition or customers will get their money back and a free lunch in the outlet cafe.
''The perception is out there that everything is cheap and people don't really need to go to locally owned discount factory outlets,'' Mr Andreadis said. ''We are going to spend a lot of time checking competitors because we believe if we are selling something it should be cheaper than the major supermarkets.''
In a broader sense, the campaign is also a statement on behalf of locally owned and operated businesses in the region that they can be just as price competitive as major retailers if given the chance.
''The smaller retailers are the ones people need to thrive and survive. They are the people who care about the region,''Mr Andreadis said.
''In many ways local retailers are more nimble and able to react more quickly to customer and market demands.''
