HTTP:: Yahoo 039 s Carol Bartz Sold 2 Million Worth of Shares This Year
--------
The long-awaited Microsoft deal has most Yahoo shareholders less than pleased. Many believe that it could have been on much better terms and were expecting an up-front payment of up to several billions. And now they have even more reason to be displeased, after it was revealed that the Internet giant's new CEO, Carol Bartz, brought in to make some much-needed changes and restructuring at the company, has sold several million dollars' worth of shares since she came in. As The Guardian reports, the transactions were disclosed in several regulatory filings and the CEO is now known to have made two major sales in the past nine months since she came in. The first sale came in March, just shortly after she was put in charge of the company, and was worth $830,000, and the second one was completed in June, when she sold stock worth $1.14 million. Several other high-level executives at the Internet company also sold shares amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Mike Ca!
llahan, Yahoo's general counsel, has also disposed of $1.35 million worth of stock options. Yahoo has said that the CEO's sales were tax-related and the executives are, of course, more than entitled to sell their shares, but the issue with investors is that it sends a wrong message to a company that has b...

HTTP:: Details on AMD 039 s GPU CPU Llano Chip Surface

There's no doubt about the fact that the PC market has evolved significantly over the last years, with notebooks selling better than desktops and computer processors boasting new, more energy-efficient microarchitectures. The world's leading chip makers, Intel and AMD, are expected to update their CPU portfolio with the introduction of new models that would provide users with a GPU+CPU architecture, designed to deliver performance and energy efficiency into a smaller, more compact design. We already know that Intel is getting ready to launch such products by the end of this year, but AMD's first CPUs with integrated graphics won't be available until sometime in 2011. On that note, the fellows over at Fudzilla claim to have gotten their hands on a couple of details on the said CPUs, codenamed Llano, which are part of AMD's 2011 product roadmap. According to them, the Llano products will be featured with up to four cores, with the possibility of two and four core-based model!

Unlike Intel's architecture, AMD's Llano chip is said to boast a native-integrated GPU, meaning that the same processor die will integrate both the CPU and GPU cores. In addition, the platform is expected to use the DDR3 and DDR3L (1.35V) memory with a 128-bit floating point. As mentioned in pr...

Media giant Disney and food-packager Nestle have won cases against different persons that registered domain names similar to their trademarks and used them in bad faith to acquire monetary profit. The domain names are to be transferred as soon as possible to the complainants. Disney, the largest entertainment company in the world, filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum to change possession rights for five domain names that were registered after three of its trademarks: Little Mermaid, Hannah Montana and Mary Poppins. The five domain names disputed were: marypoppinsonbroadway.com, marypoppinstickets.net, marypoppinstickets.org, hannahmontanaticketsonline.com, and littlemermaidticketsny.com. The first two domain names didn't do that much harm, since they redirected to the official Disney on Broadway page, but the last three redirected to a page were products were being sold, illegally showing the Disney trademarks. Revenues were also being made from pay-per-!
click commercial ads. After analyzing the case, the National Arbitration Forum decided to transfer the ownership rights to Disney for all of these five domain names.

Although not much has been heard about Hewlett-Packard, comparing the Palo Alto, California-based PC vendor with some of its main competitors, it appears that the company is working on a new line of portable computer systems, to be released at the end of this year. According to recent details that have surfaced on the Internet, HP is expected to announce a couple of new updates to its line of notebook PCs, with the company even planning a couple of new netbooks as well. Although details are scarce, it's likely that the new systems will debut later in Q4 or in early Q1, 2010. In a recent post on notebookreview's forums, a user writes about a couple of new HP systems that have made their way on the online software documentation from HP. There is a number of new systems mentioned in these pages, but, at a quick glance, HP is expected to update the Pavilion line with the dm1, dm3, dv8 and tm2 models, and the Mini family with the Mini 311, Mini 210 and Mini 5102, and more in th!
