Sony to pull out of LCD JV with Samsung

 Sony Corp , struggling with a loss-making television business, is in negotiations to pull out of its LCD joint venture with South Korea's Samsung Electronics in a bid to cut costs, the Nikkei business daily reported on Sunday.

The Japanese electronics and entertainment giant is aiming to reach an agreement by the end of this year to sell its nearly 50 percent stake in liquid-crystal display joint venture S-LCD to Samsung, the paper said.

Sony intends to rely more on outsourcing to reduce procurement costs to cope with rapidly declining prices of LCD panels due to a global oversupply, the Nikkei said without citing sources.

Spokesmen for both Sony and Samsung Electronics declined to comment .

South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo had a similar report on the joint venture breakup in July, which Sony denied.

A well-informed industry source told Reuters in Seoul that such reports seem to be "distorted" because Sony has been negotiating with Samsung over its return on investment in the joint venture, rather than shareholdings.

"Under the contract on the LCD joint venture, the two parties are allowed to discuss such matters, which outsiders could misunderstand as a step for Sony to withdraw from the joint venture," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

In April, the two companies cut capital in the joint venture by $555 million as Sony sought to slash its TV losses and Samsung pushed ahead with next generation displays.

. Sony is under pressure to show it can reduce its exposure to the loss-making TV unit and concentrate on developing its strategy for smartphones.

Last week, it announced it will take control of its mobile phone joint venture with Ericsson as it seeks to exploit its music and video applications to help it catch smartphone leaders such as Apple Inc .

Sony reports July-September results on Wednesday. Analysts are forecasting Sony will fall short of its operating profit outlook of 200 billion yen ($2.63 billion) for the year to March 2012, with consumer confidence wobbling in Europe and the United States and as the strong yen bites into profits.

The electronics giant, which competes with Samsung and LG Electronics in televisions, needs to slash costs as it heads for its eighth straight annual loss in its TV business.

Sony has already sold off TV factories in Spain, Slovakia and Mexico in the past few years and outsources more than half of production to companies including Hon Hai Precision Industry. It retains four TV plants of its own in Japan, Brazil, China and Malaysia.

Use Google Calendar to Organize Yourself

A personal assistant can perform time management tasks for you. But if you do not have one then there is nothing to worry about. You can easily have a solution by using Google Calendar on your Desktop.The need to organize is a part of human nature especially if you are at some important position in a company; even if that is not the case, there are many people around you who expect you to remember their birthdays, wedding anniversaries and other related stuff. With the pressure of work or studies, it is physically impossible for a person to keep track of so many dates. Many of you must have had the embarrassing experience of making a commitment with your wife or a close friend for dinner or shopping and then having to cancel it because of any important meeting that was scheduled weeks ago and that somehow slipped your mind.

The desktop Google calendar helps you organize yourself in a better way. It has a number of features other than just being a plan calendar which ensure smoothness in your day to day planning. The most important feature in this regard is that it connects to your Google calendar directly, so all you have to do is to update your online calendar while checking your emails. You can put in birthday reminders, events, meetings, appointments and wedding anniversaries reminders etc. in your calendar. You will get emails and reminders on your desktop about all the upcoming events. But there is a problem here; the Google calendar on your desktop is read only meaning that you cannot update it directly like a number of other desktop applications. The editing, deleting and adding of new events has to be done from Gmail calendar.CLICK here to Download

Sony unveils a 3D laptop
All around us is more information about 3D technology and while a lot of people feel like it's great others aren't so sure about it. In order to view 3D correctly you do have to wear glasses that will allow you to see it as it was filmed and meant to be seen. Sony is just one of several companies that is planning to release a series of 3D laptops and other devices starting as soon as 2011. The one worry is how successful it will be as not too many Americans have invested in 3D televisions and home entertainment systems.

All around us is more information about 3D technology and while a lot of people feel like it's great others aren't so sure about it. In order to view 3D correctly you do have to wear glasses that will allow you to see it as it was filmed and meant to be seen. Sony is just one of several companies that is planning to release a series of 3D laptops and other devices starting as soon as 2011. The one worry is how successful it will be as not too many Americans have invested in 3D televisions and home entertainment systems.
The Sony 3D laptop is set to be released in 2011 and it is also expected for Sony to launch a series of 3D video games. The 3D laptop comes with a "3D" button that you will click on and then you have to put on your 3D glasses in order to see the screen properly.
In order for the laptop to work correctly it will need to display about 240 frames of video per second. Sony is using a graphics chip system in order to try and keep up with the 3D technology but they have yet to offer any details and specifications regarding this part of the laptop.
The one thing to note is that the prototype you can view online and that you can see at conferences and events isn't going to be exactly what you get. Sony has already stated there may be some slight differences with the 3D technology laptop as the prototype has additional features that are used for marketing. With this information made public, you might want to take a look into waiting a few years before you opt for the 3D laptop so all the kinks can be worked out correctly.
