If Facebook Really Goes Into The Mobile Hardware Business, Investors Should Run Away Screaming Facebook is poaching ex-Apple engineers to build a smartphone, Nick Bilton of the New York Times reports. This is the third iteration of Facebook's smartphone plans--from hardware to software and back to hardware again. If Facebook is serious about jumping into making smartphones with both feet this time, Facebook investors should be very afraid. Why? Several reasons: The move would clearly be defensive, not offensive. According to a Facebook employee quoted by Bilton, "Mark [Zuckerberg] is worried that if he doesn’t create a mobile phone in the near future that Facebook will simply become an app on other mobile platforms." Translation: Facebook is doing this because it thinks it has to, not because it wants to. Hardware is an extraordinarily difficult, low-margin, commodity business.  The only two companies that are doing well right now in hardwar...

Impossible Mission  CHELSEA (THE BLUES)  The Chamions Of Europe     BAYERN MUNICH 1 CHELSEA 1 (3-4 ON PENS) Summary  Moscow seems a long time ago now as the ghost of 2008 was buried by a penalty shoot-out win for the Blues.  We seemed dead and buried when Bayern Munich took the lead after 82 minutes of a game they dominated in the face of some high-class Chelsea defending, but showing the resilience yet again that had taken us all this way to Munich, Didier Drogba netted his ninth goal in nine cup finals with two minutes left to play. Cech then saved a penalty, given away by Drogba in extra-time, and not converted by Arjen Robben, so 10 more penalties had to be taken to determine the destiny of the European Cup. It didn't start well as Juan Mata failed with Chelsea's first but Cech saved one and Bastian Schweinsteiger struck woodwork before that man Drogba stepped up to win the competition for the first time for a London cl...

The Sicilian Defense is the most popular defense against white's opening 1.e4 and is used extensively at top level play. It is a very aggressive defense and immediately stakes claim at the center, denying white the double pawns on e4 and d4. Many chess champions actually prefer to start with 1.d4 because of how well the Sicilian Defense plays against 1.e4. Eventually the c-pawn of black is usually exchanged, opening the semi-open c file for black to bring his queen or rook to and add pressure to the queen side attack. White not only has to worry about black's defense but also the counter attack that the Sicilian Defense presents. White tends to have the advantage on the king side while black will usually look to attack on the queen side. For those chess players that play against the 1.e4 opening quite often, the Sicilian Defense is an opening that you should spend quite a bit of time studying. There are many variations and they each are designed for specific...
