DES JARDINS, OF WEST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOB TO UNDER- WOOD ELLIOTT FISHER COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF DELA- WARE TYPEWRIT'ING MACHINE Application filed March 28, 1925. Serial No. 18,989.
This invention relates to an improved type-action for typewriting machines, and more particularly to type-actions in which two keys are operatively connected to each ype-bar to thus reduce the number of typebars required relatively to thekeys.
One of the features of the invention relates to the provision of a standard keyboard with this type of type-bar action, which, due 0 its general design, is adaptable to small, portable machines, Without undue increase of the striking angle of the type-bars.
For compactness the type-bars stand on end directly in front of the platen, the bars being pivotally mounted at their lower ends, and swinging in substantially vertical converging planes to the printing point. Four types are placed upon each type-bar, and two keys are connected thereto. The typebar is automatically given a shifting action by one of the type-keys. Hence the typebar system is extremely compact, while a standard size four-row keyboard is employed. While the type-bars swing in planes which converge to theprinting point, still the angles in which the outside bars strike the platen are not excessive; the bars being guided at their type-ends, and caused to strike the platen perpendicularly, sufficient lateral play of the bars on their pivots being allowed, thereby permitting slight lateral play for this purpose. The key-levers may all extend backwardly in substantial parallelism, and the system of key-levers may be many times wider than the system of type-bars; connections extending rearwardly from'the keydevers and converging to the type-bars, said connections comprising convergent bell-cranks operated by the key-levers and convergent links extending from the bell-cranks to the type-bars. The bell-cranks may be connected to the keylevers along a line just in rear of the key board, and the connections may converge above the set of key-levers. The outer connections in the system extend at angles of about 45'degrees to the key-levers and nearly parallel to the type-bars, to avoid binding and twisting of the parts; but the angle of 'the outer type-bars may appear less than 45 degrees. Each key-lever is preferably positively connected to its type-bar,- and the same may be caused by one key-lever to swing from normal positionabout a sin le pivot to the platen, while the other typeey lever may cause the type-bar to swing about another pivot, whereby differenttypes upon the type-bar are selected for operation.
Four types are provided for each type bar, and each type-bar is operatively connected to twodepressible key-levers. Each of the two key-levers is provided with an independent linkage to effect the printing of two types, which two types are selectively printed upon a work-sheet.
In order that each type-bar may be selectively caused to print in either upper or lower case characters, 'by the depression of either of the two associated key-lemrs there is provided an intermediate rocking arm pivotally mounted adjacent the free end of a hanger, there being a hanger for each arm. The type-bar is pivotally mounted upon said arm in such a manner that when one of the key-levers is depressed, the type-bar is swung to print one lower-case character, and when the other key-lever is depressed, said arm is swung, carrying with it the type-bar, to print another lower-case character.
Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a. cross-sectional view, in elevation, through the center of the machine on a plane indicated by the line 1-1 of Figure 2, showing the type-action in its normal position.
Figure 2 is a diagrammatic plan view of the type-action showin the linkage connecting the type-bars and the key-levers.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view, in elevation, through the centerfof the machine, showing the type-action and the" type-bar in lower case position.
' Figure 5 is a. plan view of the typealigning piece. a
a pivot 18 carried by said hanger.
The present invention includes a standard keyboard of four banks of keys 10 and 31, provided with key-levers 11 and 30, respectively, extending to the rear of the machine in uniform parallel planes to be removably hung upon a fulcrum-rod 1'2 and spaced apart by transverse slots in a cross-bar 13 and provided with individual restoring springs 14 secured to the cross-bar. The keydevers are further guided by a front 'comb 45.
It will be noted at Figure 2 that the standard arrangement of the keyboard provides for a uniform spacing of the keylevers 30 of the two upper banks of keys 3'1, and provides for uniform spacing of the key-levers 11 of the two lower 'banks of'keys 10, the key-levers 11 being spaced between'the key-levers 30; hence, if the key-board is divided into pairs of adjoining keylevers, each pair will consist of one key-lever '11 and an adjoining key-lever 30. The purpose of this ,pairing of the keylevers will presently appear.
Each key-lever ll and 30 is formed with a slot 15 opening ;a ea'rwardly, and the slots of all the keys are uniformly the same distance from the fulcrum-rod 12. The slot 15 of each lever 11 engages a tongue 16 formed by bending over the end of one arm of a bell-crank 17 that is vertically disposed at one side of ,the key-lever, and is supported at one side of a hanger 19 upon i The other arm of the bell-crank 17 rises above the plane of the key-levers and the free end is pivotally connected to a link 20, which, in turn,is pivotally connected to a short arm 23 of a type-bar 24. The type-bar is provided with a' pivot 25 carried by a lever 26, said lever, in turn, being pivoted at to the free end of a type-bar hanger 48.
As shown at Figure 1, the machine-frame I includes a cross-bar 47 positioned in front ofthe type-bars to support a system of typeba'r hangers, there being one hanger for each type-bar, and all the hangers may be mounted within radi'al slots through said bar, to direct each type-bar towards a point below the printing position of the platen and secured to said bar by individual screws 49. Each hanger 48 extends downwardly and rearwardly from the cross-bar 47, and the free end of each hanger enters a spacing slot 50 in the cross-bar 51-. of the machineframe. It will be understood that the two cross-bars 47 and 51 are arcuate to the printing position on the platen, and that their slots converge towards the same position.
The base-plate 44 of the machine supports the cross-bar 13, the comb-plate45 and a series of bell-crank hangers 19. As previously described, the key-levers 11 and 30 are paired to actuate a type-bar. To
this end, a bell-crank hanger 19 is positioned midway between each pair of keylevers. the pivot 18 thereof PI'OJGUtUlg iIOHI each side of the hanger, supporting the and positions the bell-crank 2-33 adjacent the side of the key-lever 30 with the tongue 34 engaging the slot 15 of said lever. In arranging a hanger 19 between each pair of key-levers 11 and 30, said hangers may be positioned to assume a proper plane across the system of key-levers, and each hanger may be set at an angle parallel to the angular plane of the associated typebar; hence the connections from the bellcranks to a type-bar will be short at the center of the system and progressively increase in length towards the outer keylevers. The bell-crank 33 operated by the key-lever 30 has a pivotal connection 37 to a link 36 that is pivotally connected to the arm 39 of the lever 36 that supports the type-bar. The lever 26 is provided with a bent-over ear 41, which engages the back of the type-bar as a back stop at 42, and also forces the type-bar to swing with the lever when the lever is rocked upon its supporting pivot 40 by the pull of the link 36. The lever and the type-bar are thus operatively connected only when the lever is swung, but the lever remains stationary when the typebar is directly operated by the link 20. In this manner the radial sweep of the typebar is shorter when the type-bar is operated singly about the pivot 25 than when the type-bar is swung as a unit with the lever 26 about the pivot 40.
The platen may be shifted up and down in any well-known manner from the fullline or lower-case typing position to the dot-and-dash line or upper-case typing position, the platen in thelower-case position receiving lower-case type-impressions from the two adjoining type-faces 27 and 32, and at the upper-case shift position receiving impressions from adjoining upper-case characters 29 and 43. I
In the assembly of a typing system, as in the present invention, the type-bars have a uniform normal resting position against the ears 41 that rest against the type-bar hanger, and the key-levers bear against a pad 46 from the restoring tension of the spring 14. Each key-lever is made demountable from the machine by a fo gg ward drawing-out movement to witlnlraii i', the rear end of the lever from the fulcrum-rod 12 and withdraw the slot 15 from the tongue 16 or 34. a
In order to prevent tlieslicling of the types upon the work-sheet, and thus blur the impressions theregn,,especially'when the outertype-bars',""which strike the platen in a more oblique angle, are operated, there are provided aligning pieces 52, which serve 3 and 4, it will be noted that the prongs 53 are designed to engage the slots 55 in the aligning pieces'at two different heights, depending on the position of the type-bars when engaging the slots, which position, in
7' turn, depends on the shift of the type-bars.
In Figure 3 the type-bar is shown striking the platen with an upper-case type, and is guided by the uppermost end 56 of the type-block and by a stepped portion 57 in the lower prong of the type-block, both engaging with the slots 55. In Figure t the type-bar is shown striking the platen with a lower-case'type, and the type-block is then laterally guided by the lowermost end 58 of the type-block and by a stepped portion 59 in the upper prong of the typeblock.
It will be noted that in this invention a short-swing-type-bar mechanism is illustrated, which is particularly adaptable to be used with a small portable machine. However, it is not desired to limit the scope of this invention to this particular type of mechanism, which is illustrated only as an application of my. invention, which substantially reduces the striking angle of the outer type-bars by reducing the number of type-bars required.
It will be noted that the system of keylevers is divided into operating pairs for each type-bar; that the bell-cranks operated by each pair of key-levers are arranged in pairs also; that the links and 36 are arranged in parallel pairs; that the keyactuated bell-cranks of all the keys operate to pull the connections to the type-bar and to the lever 26 in the same forward direction; and that each type-bar is restored to normal position by the spring 14 bearing against the associated key-lever 11 or 30.
It will also be noted that each pair of key-levers 11 and is provided with a pair of bell-cranks pivotally connected to a hanger, which-may be secured to the baseplate 44, to provide for straight forward pulling connections that are aligned to the.
pivotally angular position of the type-bar; that each hanger 48 serves as a back stop for its associated type-bar 24; and that each type-bar includes four type-faces, the two lower adjoining faces being lower-case characters, and the two upper adjoining type-faces having types of upper-case characters.
Variations may be resorted to within the scope of, the invention, and portions of the improvements may .be used without others.

Pen & Sword Aviation, 2004 - History - 246 pages
On 23 November 1943, 100 (Bomber Support) Group of RAF Bomber Command was formed. The object was to consolidate the various squadrons and units that had been fighting a secret war of electronics and radar counter-measures, attempting to reduce the losses of the heavy bombers--and their hard pressed crews--in Bomber Command. This secret war involved the use of air and ground radaris, homing and jamming equipment, special radio and navigational aids, and intruding night-fighters to seek our and destroy their opposite numbers.

It would be the north east and Californication against the the real Americans. The key would be who does the military follow? Everyone in law enforcement and the military have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution, so I think it would be the lefties fighting us with their sharp wits and Japanese hybrids. The most important result would be the total collapse of the economy including the transportation sector. That would mean no food for extended periods. Those that are prepared would survive, but most of the population in the big cities would be fucked. Roving gangs would be a bigger problem than insurrectionists. Anyone within a hundred miles of a big city would need to have a defendable home, and lots ammo. There is a chance that communist China would see an opportunity to move in and take America while we were preoccupied with killing each other. If that happens, it will take quick response from a crippled government to save us. There are, of course, too many variables to say exactly what would happen, but being a prepper might keep you alive. Three days of food wont help. Three months will keep you alive long enough to see the massive depopulation, but it will take at least a year to get through the worst of it. You might also need a sustainable survival plan if the conflict goes long term.

UBS's Steven Milunovich issued a cautious note on Apple (AAPL) today, writing that his firm's survey of buying intentions suggest rival Samsung Electronics (005930KS) is seeing rising interest from consumers, and that there are "chinks in the armor" starting to appear for the iPhone.
Overall, Milunovich sees a cooling smartphone market, up perhaps 16% in 2015, at 1.41 billion units, which is a downward revision from his prior estimate for 1.56 billion, or 19% growth.
The survey was conducted in the U.S., Europe, and mainland China, he writes:
For this report, UBS Evidence Lab conducted an online survey to a representative panel of consumers based on gender, age, and income distribution across the US, UK, Italy, Germany and Mainland China (Tiers 1 and 2) in April 2015. In total, 8,650 smartphone users were interviewed. Qualification criteria were based on ownership of a smartphone. The margin of error for whole sample responses is between +/-0.79% (total sample) and +/- 2.10-2.38% (individual countries). Caveats: Since Germany was added to the survey this time, time series are shown with this region excluded for comparison purposes.
Smartphone sales at the high end, including the iPhone, are experiencing a renaissance, he writes:
The high-end renaissance experienced in Q4 14, mainly driven by Apple pull through and subsequently Samsung's stabilisation, continued in Q1 15 with industry ASP growth of 11% y-o-y. We expect strong ASP growth going forward mainly due to new product launches from Apple and Samsung as well as mix towards smart-phones from feature phones. We also see strong growth in volume terms in the market driven by 4G LTE adoption and a better China market in H2 '15 (vs. weak in H1'15).
China is a relative bright spot in overall smartphone buying intentions:
If we focus in specifically on China, we see that there is a much stronger intention to upgrade in the next 12 months than there is globally with 61% of consumers intending to purchase a new smart-phone in that timeframe compared to 54% globally but this has decreased significantly compared to our survey in Q4 '14 when it was 72%. We also note that there is a marked trend towards Apple of near-term purchases than other OEMs in the near-term.
Regarding Apple specifically, it is getting harder to grow its share, he writes:
Apple's eco-system remains sticky….but is showing the "law of large numbers": As shown below, 78% of Apple customers intend to make Apple products their next device purchase. On a like-for-like basis (excluding Germany from the sample) Apple's retention rate is 77%, a marked deterioration versus 84% in Q4'14. While still well ahead of peers, a diminishing stickiness should be naturally/mathematically expected as the base of installed "subscribers" (Apple creates subscribers in our view rather than selling to customers) rises. Recall also that our last survey was done right at the time of the iPhone 6 launch which will tend to result in higher stickiness.
Samsung is seeing newfound momentum:
Samsung's retention rate remains at high levels, at c60% (including Germany where Samsung share is high) or 57% on a comparable basis (excl. Germany), up 200bp since Q4'14 and comfortably above Nokia's peak in 2007 (53%). Again this is helped by the fact this Q2'15 survey is done at the time of the GS6 launch.
For all others, times are getting tougher: "Stickiness is lower for other Android vendors: All bar Samsung are below 40%. While up slightly since last year, Sell-rated LGE's stickiness remains low at 23%."
Here's an infographic from the note showing average selling prices of phones and also Apple's sales plotted against Samsung's (click on the image to see it larger):
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are down 4 cents at $49.12, following a keynote address this morning in San Francisco by CEO Satya Nadella at the company's annual BUILD developer conference.
Highlights of the conference included the company's pledge to make Windows 10, the next version of its operating system, free on all devices to users of existing versions of Windows, for one year; and also a pitch to those who write apps for Apple's (AAPL) iOS mobile operating system, and to developers on Google's (GOOGL) Android to be able to compile their applications to run on Windows.
There are no notes out yet, it would appear, following the talk, but the analysts earlier offered their previews of what they were looking for. Note that Microsoft's annual analyst day event is also taking place today.
Speaking on CNBC this morning before the event, Goldman Sachs analyst Heather Bellini had offered her expectations, saying there were "a lot of questions about what's going to happen with Windows 10, and big questions on pricing."
Said Bellini of Nadella, and CFO Amy Hood, "he and Amy Hood have done a great jobp; people that used to not be big fans of Microsoft are becoming fans, and you're seeing even Oracle (ORCL) partnering with them — that never used to happen."
"At the end of the day, we still need to see them to have a bigger platform. That's why Windows 10 is bringing all of the operating systems under one umbrella," said Bellini.
Among early responses following the event, FBR & Co.'s Daniel Ives, who has an Outperform rating on Microsoft shares, wrote in a note this morning, similar to Bellini, that he wants to see the push by Microsoft to greater integration with Windows 10:
We continue to view Windows 10 as a potential game changer, as this platform ties into Nadella's mobile and cloud strategy with a number of new/updated features (Cortana, reviving the Start menu, dynamic interfaces between devices, Project Spartan, cross platform apps, etc.) and products, such as the augmented reality product, Microsoft HoloLens, as the standout in our view. Furthermore, we anticipate a major focus on the universal app platform enabling apps to run on a number of devices (e.g., phones, tablets, PCs, etc.). To this point, we believe developer traction/interest in the updated Windows product remains a key ingredient to the company's recipe for success in ensuring strong uptake of Windows 10 as a more mobile workforce/consumer transitions away from the company's traditional bread and butter PC market. We believe seamless device integration (e.g., Surface, Lumia, desktop, etc.) will be a focal point at the event and anticipate that a more unified Windows platform is looked upon favorably by CIOs worldwide as enterprises continue to deal with the growing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trends. Overall, we believe this week's event will be another stepping stone in Nadella's cloud vision taking hold, and while we do not expect a major financial update (given last week's earnings/outlook update), we will be listening for detail around a possible release date.
Here are some things going on today in your world of tech:
Earnings highlights
Shares of GoPro (GPRO) are up $5.73, or over 12%, at $52.75, following better-than-expected Q1 results and Q2 outlook. The bulls are dazzled by the growth, and profit, noting the company may be moving toward virtual reality video with the acquisition of startup Kolor.
Riding GoPro's coat-tails, shares of sensor maker Ambarella (AMBA) are up $3.12, or 4%, at $75.13. Canaccord Genuity's Matthew Ramsay writes that "We believe GoPro's strong JuneQ guidance could lead to upside to Ambarella's AprilQ results when paired with ramping sales to new customer Xiaomi," and he reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his target to $86 from $81.
Not so fortunate today are shares of Twitter (TWTR), down $2.79, or almost 7%, at $39.48, deepening their losses after bouncing back from a 20% plunge yesterday afternoon, following the leak of the company's earnings report, a report that missed Twitter's own estimates.
There are five downgrades today; the company's CEO, Dick Costolo was on CNBC to defend the "roadmap" and the "long-term strategy"; and there has even been very favorable commentary from observers such as venture capitalist Tim Draper.
Hard times for hard drives
In other earnings news, shares of Western Digital (WDC) are down $1.87, or 1.9%, at $96.03, after the company yesterday missed fiscal Q3 expectations, reporting $3.55 billion in revenue and $1.87 per share in earnings against $3.61 billion and $1.91 consensus.
The company also missed consensus with its outlook for this quarter, forecasting $3.3 billion to $3.4 billion in revenue and $1.50 to $1.60 per share, versus $3.65 billion and $1.94 consensus.
Among those defending the shares today is Jefferies & Co.'s James Kisner, who writes "Buy the cut!" reiterating a Buy rating, and a $123 price target, because "We believe guidance reflects a relatively steep inventory correction but end demand is not as bad is this makes it appear."
Shares of competitor Seagate Technology (STX) are down 16 cents at $58.30.
Samsung regains top smartphone spot
Overnight, research firm Strategy Analytics reported Samsung regained the top spot in smartphones from Apple (AAPL) in Q1, though Samsung's share and its shipment slipped, year over year, while Apple's surged. Strategy Analytics dubbed Apple the "star performer" in overall mobile phone sales in the quarter.
Microsoft woos iOS, Android devs
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are down 27 cents, or half a percent, at $48.89, as CEO Satya Nadella leads the company's Build annual developer forum in San Francisco.
Among announcements at the event, Microsoft is making a push to let applications for Google's (GOOGL) Android be compiled for the forthcoming Windows 10 version of the PC operating system; the company also said it has added support for Apple's "Objective-C" language to allow for porting of iOS apps to Windows 10.
As TechCrunch's Alex Wilhelm reports, Microsoft plans to make Windows 10 free to owners of prior versions for a year after its release, with a goal of having 1 billion devices running the software in two to three years time.
The keynote is being streamed live on Microsoft's Windows portal.
3-D printing melt-down
Shares of 3-D printing stocks are in deep trouble, yet again. Stratasys (SSYS) stock is off $11, or almost 22%, at $40.29, after the company yesterday warned revenue will come in well below consensus for Q1, in a range of $171 million to $173 million, versus consensus at the time of $199 million.
The stock has gotten at least three downgrades today, from Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Craig-Hallum, and Dougherty & Co., along with multiple price target reductions.
The negative report follows a similar warning from 3-D Systems (DDD) late Friday that prompted multiple downgrades of that stock.
Writing today, Dougherty's Andrea James, cutting the stock to Neutral from Buy, and stripping away her $90 price target, writes that "Stratasys is facing several challenges for which we believe there is no immediate fix."
James ticks off the multiple obstacles to Stratasys, and 3-D in general: "Corporate buying managers are delaying purchases while they anticipate HP's multi-jet fusion product in 2016. 3D printing has been hyped so much in the marketplace that distributors see a disconnect between customer expectations and the reality of what 3D printers can do. Stratasys tried to scale MakerBot's distribution and product diversity too quickly, leading to quality-control problems. US dollar strength is a headwind."
Apple (AAPL) shares are up $2.44, or almost 2%, at $132.72, in advance of this afternoon's fiscal Q2 report, and Brean Capital is not the only party reflecting on the potential results.
As I noted earlier, Street consensus for the report is $55.94 billion in revenue and $2.15 per share in net income for the three months ended in March. Analysts' outlook for the current quarter is $46.94 billion and $1.69.
Apple's own forecast for the quarter was for $52 billion to $55 billion.
Cantor Fitzgerald's Brian White reiterates a $180 price target, after returning from a trip to China, raising his Q2 forecast to $56.7 billion in revenue and $2.18 per share from $56.2 billion and $2.13, which would be a 24% decline in sales from Q1, deeper than an historical decline of 16%, he notes.
White argues "more important forces are at work," citing continued strong demand for Apple products in Asia, boosting his iPhone numbers while lowering his iPad numbers:
During our China/ Taiwan tech tour, the appetite for Apple's new iPhones remained stronger than anticipated in China and across Asia. For example, six months after the launch of the new iPhones in Hong Kong, we observed long lines for the iPhone 6/6 Plus. For 2Q:FY15, we are increasing our iPhone unit estimate to 58.0 million from 53.75 million but lowering our iPad projection to 14.0 million from 15.5 million units, while reducing our Mac shipment forecast to 4.31 million from 4.69 million units.
For Apple Watch, White models 2.77 million units this quarter, for sales of $1.64 billion, and 7.65 million for the full fiscal year ending September, or 4.5 billion. He sees that rising to 27.24 million units in fiscal '16, for $16 billion in sales.
Sundeep Bajikar with Jefferies & Co. reiterates a Hold rating on Apple stock, while raising his price target to $135 from $130, expecting a substantial Q2 beat, with $59.46 billion and $2.43 per share, based in part on an expectation for iPhone units of 60 million, and a higher-than-consensus average selling price of $685 versus the Street's $653.
Bajikar thinks the Street is underestimating the impatience of mobile payments with Apple Pay:
In addition to health/fitness tracking, which we think could potentially grow into a large new "Enterprise" market for Apple over time, we think consumers and investors are probably under-appreciating the fact that mobile payments through Apple Pay (or Samsung Pay) would be more secure than payments made using physical credit cards. The security/privacy benefit could drive higher penetration of both mobile payments and Smartwatches globally. We are testing the Apple Watch and expect to provide an update on its capabilities and a comparison with our Samsung Gear S, which we have been using for ~6 months.
However, Bajikar's main beefs with Apple are the dependence on the iPhone and "elevated investor expectations."
One area that Bajikar thinks could improve his view of Apple is the company's push with International Business Machines (IBM) for enterprise use of the iPad.
At the moment, the iPad risks being pushed aside by Samsung Electronic's (005930KS) development of its "Knox" security layer for Android-based tablets:
We believe iPad was originally intended to be primarily a consumer device, and this led to certain design choices such as a file system with limited user access. However, Apple's choice of an unexposed file system translates into better platform security, which Android was not able to boast, until Samsung introduced KNOX, and made a portion of KNOX available for all Android devices. The chart below illustrates iOS file system security architecture on the left, and Android file system architecture on the right.The process of measuring and authenticating every piece of software that runs on the device starting from device boot, provides a solid security framework for iOS. Samsung KNOX provides a similar capability which is used to create a "Corporate Workspace", which is intended to be more secure than the "Personal Workspace". With Galaxy S6/Edge, Samsung is also extending the benefits of KNOX to consumers.
In response to the challenge from Android and Samsung, Bajikar opines Apple's next big iPad innovation will be a much-rumored, larger-screen "iPad Pro," which will attempt to copy things from Samsung and from Microsoft's (MSFT) "Surface Pro" tablet computer: "In its pursuit of the broader Enterprise PC market, we expect the iPad to evolve by mimicking features available in competing devices such as the recently introduced Surface 3 from Microsoft, and Galaxy Tablets from Samsung."
Bajikar offers the following infographic of what an iPad Pro may hold (click to see the image larger):
Shares of Google (GOOGL) are up $6.75, or 1.2%, to $549.60, after the company in a blog post confirmed weeks of speculation it will enter the wireless services market, with an offering called "Project Fi," which it billed as a "program to explore" the prospect of connectivity and communiction being "fast everywhere, easy to use, and accessible to everyone."
The company will rely on service from T-Mobile US (TMUS), and Sprint (S), and will cost $20 per month up-front, with prices of $10 per gigabyte. It will initially be available only on the "Nexus 6" smartphone designed by Google, running its Android operating system.
The service will give customers talk, text and data in 120 countries, Google said. The program is invite-only, and you can sign up on the Google Web site.
T-Mobile shares are up 69 cents, or 2%, to $34.04, on the announcement, while Sprint is up 9 cents, or 2%, at $5.08. AT&T (T) and Verizon Communications (VZ) shares did not suffer from the new entrant, however: they rose half a percent and 0.8%, respectively.
Cowen & Co.'s telecom analyst Colby Synesael writes that the offering have a limited financial benefit to T-Mobile and Sprint
(as well as Google)."
"We expect the greatest impact will be that the other carriers will start to mimic certain aspects of the service which in our view is Google's likely intent":
We expect the offer to at least initially receive a limited reception driven largely by the fact that Google is only offering the service on the Nexus 6 device which from our understanding has had very limited commercial success. That said the offer itself is compelling from both a pricing and technology perspective and if they are able to gain wider device support could start to take notable share. Our sense is that Google will make razor thin margins at these levels though particularly when one considers the U.S. based call service/support aspect which is not a trivial component, thus Google's angle seems more aimed at driving change than dollars. To that point, some of the technology aspects they are championing here such as 1) automatically connecting to >1MM free Wi-Fi hotspots, 2) allowing customers to make a voice call on Wi-Fi and during that same call shift to an LTE network, and 3) making the phone number cloud based so you can utilize it across devices, are all things that we think are compelling and carriers over time are likely to adopt on their own. From a price perspective, the international and the data give back aspects are also intriguing and while T-Mobile already offers similar solutions for both (i.e. Simple Global and Data Stash) it could ratchet up pressure on AT&T (rollover is just for one month)/Sprint (has a new international plan but not as robust)/Verizon to follow suit. Net/Net: We expect Google's roll-out to have a limited financial benefit to T-Mobile and Sprint (as well as Google) although if Google is able to add support for additional/more popular devices we believe over time they could start to take greater share. We expect the greatest impact will be that the other carriers will start to mimic certain aspects of the service which in our view is Google's likely intent.
Similarly, Evercore's Jonathan Schildkraut writes that "This announcement is largely inline with our expectations [...] the major difference being our belief that GOOG would have offered a lower basic monthly charge for accessing the network."
He also sees limited benefit to Sprint and T-Mobile, and limited impact to Verizon and AT&T:
While S and TMUS shares rallied on the news, we believe the benefit to wholesale carriers may not be a permanent one. Other news items (e.g., pushing for more unlicensed spectrum, high altitude balloons) appear to indicate a desire to circumvent the traditional wireless operator network in the same way Steve Jobs initially saw the iPhone using Wi-Fi as an alternative access platform. We also would not rule out a potential relationship between GOOG and the MSOs Wi-Fi networks as another way to dis-intermediate the traditional carrier. Not as Bad as Expected for T and VZ. We view the higher than expected toll to get on the network ($20) as likely better for carriers than anticipated. Whereas we had initially predicted a 3GB plan in the $25-35 range, 3GB on Project Fi will cost
$50 – closer to T's $65 price point and VZ's $85 (assumes devices are purchased separately).
Here are some things going on today in your world of tech:
Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) "Galaxy S6" and Galaxy S6 "Edge" are getting mostly very favorable reviews from the gadgeterati. Pundits proffer plaudits for the look and feel of the machines, even if they seem to lift a lot from Apple's (AAPL) iPhone. The software's better, they write, and the cameras are better at picture taking than most things on the market.
International Business Machines (IBM) stock is up $1.26, or 0.8%, at $160.40, following an article this afternoon by Reuters's Nadia Damouni and Svea Herbst-Bayliss stating that some long holders of the shares are soliciting the involvement of activist investors "to shake up the company," citing multiple unnamed sources.
The disgruntled investors have apparently already been rebuffed by activists such as Bill Ackman of Pershing Square and Jeffrey Ubben of ValueAct.
Speaking of the hot seat, shares of Google (GOOGL) are down $8.18, or 1.5%, at $541.30, following an article this morning by The Wall Street Journal's Tom Fairless and Alistair Barr stating European Union is preparing anti-trust charges against it that would be the highest-profile such case since the Microsoft (MSFT) anti-trust trial in the early 'Naughts.
Among earnings follow-ups, Shares of memory-chip maker Micron Technology (MU) are down 23 cents, or 0.9%, at $26.90, following better-than-expected results yesterday afternoon for the company's fiscal Q2, but a disappointing revenue outlook. Micron is saying it will withhold some DRAM inventory in order to not sell into a market where chip prices are declining.
Among other reporting companies, tools developer Progress Software (PRGS) is down $1.38, or 5%, at $25.61, reversing yesterday's after-hours gains, following better-than-expected fiscal Q1 results. The company forecast this quarter's results lower, however, owing to pressure from the rising U.S. dollar, and also cut its year outlook.
And chip maker Sigma Designs (SIGM) is down 29 cents, or 3.6%, at $7.95, despite yesterday beating fiscal Q4 expectations, and forecast revenue this quarter higher as well.
There are no major tech earnings on tap for this afternoon.
The Street is pondering what storage equipment titan EMC (EMC) should buy. Summit Research's Srini Nandury thinks Symantec (SYMC) would be a great match. Macquarie Research's Rajesh Ghai argues for a merger with HP Enterprise, which will be one half of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) when the latter breaks in two this year.
There was also chatter about NetApp (NTAP) being a take-out target of EMC or another party.
EMC stock is up 8 cents at $25.55; Symantec is up 27 cents, or 1%, at $23.60; NTAP rose 35 cents, or 1%, to $35.63; and HP is up 9 cents at $31.38.
Elsewhere in M&A, Check Point Software Technologies (CHKP), itself another perennial take-out candidate, did some buying of its own, announcing this morning it would spend $100 million to purchase mobile security startup Lacoon Mobile Security.
With a focus on Apple's iOS operating system and Google's Android, the company's patented technology "detects device, application and in-network threats that others may have missed and quantifies the risks and vulnerabilities that BYOD exposes to the enterprise," as Check Point describes it.
Raymond James analyst Michael Turits, who rates Check Point Outperform, wrote today that he's positive on the deal, following February's buy of Hyperwise, as "it could be a continuation of an accelerated, aggressive approach to product development by Check Point including acquisitions given the fast pace of technology advance in both security threats and defenses."
Check Point stock rose 62 cents, or 0.8%, to $84.49.
Facebook (FB) got a lift from Citigroups' Mark May, who raised his price target to $97 from $91 after analyzing various drivers such as user growth, ad pricing, and engagement that will sustain revenue growth. He also offered estimates for Instagram and WhatsApp.
Shares of networking equipment maker Arista Networks (ANET) are down $3.55, or 5%, at $66.07, after the company yesterday afternoon said its CFO, Kelyn Brannon, will step down for personal reasons, being replaced temporarily by company co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim. Some, like Jess Lubert of Wells Fargo, urged investors to look past the event. But Citigroup's Ehud Gelblum was among those who worry it is one more distraction for the company.
In case you missed it, custom Google (GOOGL) Android developers Cyanogen today announced a follow-on round of funding of $80 million from Premji Invest; the investment arm of Twitter (TWTR); Qualcomm (QCOM); Telefonica Ventures; Smartfren Telecom; Index Ventures; Access Industries; News Corp.'s own Rupert Murdoch; and others.
Cyanogen, as I explained in an interview on March 6th with founders Kirt McMaster, its CEO, and Vikram Natarajan, its head of distribution, are the creators of an alternative distribution of Android, one that allows device makers and third-party services providers greater freedom to customize mobile devices than does Google's stock Android distribution.
I had previewed the additional funding in my article. The total invested in the company to date is $110 million.
Cowen & Co.'s Timothy Arcuri this morning reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Apple (AAPL),and raises his price target to $135 from $115, citing some positive feedback from a survey of 3,000 smartphone users in February that suggests the company is seeing a number of "switchers" moving to the iPhone from devices running Google's (GOOGL) Android, and that there is interest in purchasing the Apple Watch, despite some hesitancy about certain features.
As Arcuri describes the survey,
We surveyed only smartphone owners: 1,000 in the U.S., 1,000 in China, 500 in the U.K. and 500 in Japan. By quota, the sample was split between 1,500 who already owned an iPhone 6/6+, and 1,500 who plan to purchase within the next 12 months. Overall the respondents split 56%/44% male/female. Distribution by age was: 18-34 (50%), 35-54 (41%), and 55+ (9%) […] The data was collected February 13-16, 2015 in the U.S. and U.K., and February 20-24, 2015 in China and Japan. Respondents were screened so that smartphone ownership was a requirement, with the sample in each country split 50/50 between those who already owned an iPhone 6/6+ and those who planned to purchase within a year.
The survey found those who own an iPhone are signaling a greater frequency of phone upgrades:
Nearly 50% of surveyed iPhone 6/6+ owners indicated they upgraded early when purchasing the device – either within their current operator's EUP program, before the end of their operator contract, or by switching operators to take advantage of an upgrade opportunity unavailable from their previous operator (see below). Among these early upgraders, ~80% indicated they also upgraded early to purchase the smartphone they replaced with iPhone 6/6+. Additionally, ~30% of iPhone 6/6+ owners across all markets surveyed said their new device replaced an iPhone 5S or 5C (i.e. an iPhone with core specifications less than 1.5 years old). We believe these data are illustrative of the desire of many smartphone users to take advantage of increased upgrade options (EUPs, carrier-incentivized switching, etc. . .) to have the latest, greatest smartphone/ecosystem experience as soon as available, rather than waiting until the end of a traditional 2-year contract.
Further, it appears a quarter of iPhone purchases are coming at the expense of Android or other operating systems, and the switching is at the highest rate in China:
Nearly 20% of iPhone 6/6+ owners across all markets surveyed said their new device replaced a competitor's smartphone, of which ~83% were Android. Additionally, another ~5% of iPhone 6/6+ owners across all markets surveyed indicated the device is their first smartphone (see below). When taken together, these data imply ~25% of all iPhone 6/6+ purchases reported thus far have been "virgin" demand, i.e. users new to (or potentially returning to) the Apple/iOS ecosystem [...] Our survey data indicates ~30% of iPhone 6/6+ owners in China replaced an Android smartphone (see next figures). This is more than double the Android-to-iPhone 6/6+ migration cited by survey respondents in Japan (~14%) and more than three times the Android-to-iPhone 6/6+ migration cited by survey respondents in the UK (~9%) and the United States (~8%). We note this data is consistent with our previous survey (September 2014) that indicated Android-to-iPhone 6/6+ migration intention was substantially higher in China compared to the United States. Aggregate virgin demand was highest in China at ~31%, though only ~3% of Chinese iPhone 6/6+ owners indicated the device is their first smartphone. In Japan, virgin demand was driven equally by Android switchers (~14%) and first-time smartphone owners (~14%).
And there may be more switching to come:
Our survey data indicates ~42% of respondents that intend to purchase an iPhone 6 or 6+ over the next 12 months currently own a competitor's smartphone. Among this group, ~85% are Android users (see below). In other words, even though a significant percentage of iPhone 6 and 6+ buyers to date have been Android switchers, our latest survey data implies the phenomenon may still be early days unless Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 edge have a meaningful competitive impact in the high-end of the smartphone market (the GS6 and GS6 edge are due to launch in multiple markets beginning in April), particularly in China, where "Android Switching" intentions are highest.
Arcuri's survey was done before Apple's March 9th event in San Francisco to discuss Apple Watch in further detail. Nevertheless, he cites a number of data points indicating relatively healthy levels of intent to purchase.
Curiously, Arcuri's survey found users of Android-based devices were more likely to indicate an intent to purchase than are owners of iPhones:
Our survey indicates a big demand pool for Apple Watch potentially exists, provided the company can "get it right" with pricing, specifications and feature/functionality. Specifically, the survey highlights price, battery life and tethering as key factors that could limit initial Apple Watch sales until Apple releases a 2.0 version that offers potential improvements in these areas. Speaking to the depth of demand pool, ~55% of ALL 3,000 respondents (including both iPhone 6/6+ owners and iPhone 6/6+ intenders across all ecosystems and geographies) indicated a positive purchase intention (i.e. likely or very likely), while another ~28% of respondents were 'neutral' relative to purchase intention. We note positive Apple Watch purchase intention is higher among Android smartphone users (~61%) than iPhone users (~53%). However, key issues like battery life remain near-term limitations as ~70% of all respondents expected battery life to be >1 day as opposed to the recently announced 18 hrs. Relative to Apple Watch pricing, ~75% of respondents paid less than $500 for conventional watches with virtually no consumers paying $500 or more for a smartwatch.
In other Apple Watch news today, Chinese-language publication UDN published an article stating that Apple has cut production of the Apple Watch by 50% because of production issues with the display.
The report suggests Apple's production might be in the range of 1.25 million units to 1.5 million units, down from an original goal of 2.5 million to 3 million units.
Here's Google Translate's version of the article in English.
The report echoes claims by Arcuri last week stating supplies might be constrained initially.
Apple shares today are up $1.03, or 0.8%, at $126.93.
Shares of eBay (EBAY) are are down 14 cents at $58.29, after Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster cut his rating on the shares to Underweight from Neutral, arguing that "ver the next 1-3 years Google Wallet, Apple Pay, Facebook, Samsung and traditional banks will weigh on PayPal valuation and market share."
Apple's (AAPL) Apple Pay, in particular, poses a threat, given traction, Munster believes.
You'll recall eBay is splitting itself in two this year, with PayPal becoming its own separate company. PayPal revenue rose 18% in the December quarter, as the company announced back in January.
More of electronic commerce, warns Munster, is spreading to what he calls an "omni-channel wallet," where consumers will use their phones to buy locally and online and through mobile apps, and PayPal doesn't yet have any presence at retail locations:
We believe point of sale offers (i.e. Google Wallet, Apple Pay, Facebook to a lesser extent) will evolve to payments in the mobile browser, greater adoption of in-app payments, and peer to peer money sharing that collectively change how investors value PayPal's long term potential. The long term opportunity around digital payments is massive. PayPal is currently the gold standard in online payments, has large market share of total online transactions, and has a 160m user base, growing 13% y/y. We believe that Google, Apple and to a lesser extent Facebook, Samsung, Snapchat, and other app-based companies, are poised to take advantage of their own user bases in a way that will detract from PayPal's business. We expect small market share gains from these competitors will have a negative impact on PayPal's multiple. The following outlines our thoughts on risks to PayPal's current business.
Munster notes Apple isn't looking to kill off PayPal, but it may take share:
While Google Wallet has largely been a non-event to date, we believe that Apple Pay has gained significant traction and emerged on the payments landscape just in time to take advantage of key catalysts supporting its use. Namely, embedded biometrics, the rollout of new NFC-enabled terminals as part of the shift to EMV in the US this Fall, and the increasing consumer traction with in-app purchases all have given iPhone owners reasons to actually use Apple Pay. We believe that Google is also poised to take advantage of these trends and that it will become more aggressive in the wallet. We believe that Apple and Google have inherent advantages over PayPal by being able to embed payments at the OS level and deeply integrate an offline and online payments technology, where PayPal has historically struggled with offline engagement. Apple has opened TouchID to third parties (which someday could include PayPal at point of sale), but that there are inherent security benefits of being at the OS level.
Apple doesn't immediately threaten PayPal's dominance on desktop payments, but "longer term (2 plus years) its likely desktop is part of the Apple Pay road map," given the omni-channel goal, he thinks.
He expects Google (GOOGL) to become "more aggressive" with the Wallet:
We believe that with its recent acquisition of Softcard and other moves into the wallet space that Google Wallet is poised to become a more formidable opponent. Google Wallet is already accepted at hundreds of thousands of tap and pay merchants and has some traction as a checkout option in browsers. As tap and pay options become more broadly used by iPhone users, we believe that Android users will be encouraged by this shift and will use Google Wallet.
LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton's (LVMUY) Jean-Claude Biver, who oversees the The TAGHeuer brand, among others, spoke a short while ago to CNBC from the sidelines of the company's presentation at Basel World, the largest watch show in the world, regarding a partnership announced with Intel (INTC) and Google (GOOGL) to make a connected watch.
Biver was addressing the coming challenge of Apple's (AAPL) Apple Watch, which will go on sale in April.
Host Carl Quintanilla asked Biver about prior remarks about the Apple Watch six months ago as "having no sex appeal," being "too feminine," and looking as if it had been designed "by a student."
Biver backtracked, stating,
I said that first sight, and I think it was wrong from my side. It was wrong because that's not true. I think the Apple Watch is perfectly designed, and it looks like an Apple watch. And that is, what an achievement! You design a watch that looks like an Apple watch, was not easy. Imagine they would have done a round watch. It would not have look like an Apple Watch. So, all in all, I think it's a brilliant design for Apple, even if, for my own taste, I prefer a little bit more sexy! But, that's, you know, everybody's different. And we at TagHeuer, we going to try to design a watch with a lot of emotion, with a lot of dreams, with a lot of tension, with a lot of design and harmony. We will bring into the connected watch, all our experience, 155 years in the watch business. And we want our connected watch to have the sex appeal of a TagHeuer, and that, for sure, we're going to succeed.
I think it's great, it's going to be perfect as an Apple device."
In the video replay of Biver's press conference, available from the Intel press link above, Intel's head of wearables technology, Mike Bell, appears along with Google Android Wear's David Singleton, head of engineering.

I don't know what month, day, or year. The originator is Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery. That's all I know. Remember before beginning to create, that this bread is highly forgiving. You do NOT have to have an enamel covered cast iron pot. You DO NOT need to oil the pot. In a large mixing bowl add 3 cups white unbleached flour. To the flour add 1 3/4 teaspoon salt (I use kosher I like it) and 1/2 teaspoon rapid rise or instant yeast. Whisk the flour, salt and yeast together. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Mix in the water.

Ogden police are conducting an internal review of an officer's fatal shooting of a dog over the weekend.
The Standard-Examiner reports that police were responding to a 911 report of a man with a gun in the 2400 block of Jackson Avenue about 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
Three officers arrived a home and were attacked by a German shepherd mix, according to police Lt. Will Cragun. One of three officers opened fire, striking and killing the dog.
The officer attacked by the dog did not suffer any serious injuries.
Police did not report finding the purported gun-wielding man who prompted the original call.
