Though the macroeconomic picture remains cloudy, major IT vendors, such as Apple, Microsoft, and EMC, for the most part reported solid third-quarter earnings this week, giving technology investors hope for the rest of the year.Thursday was a busy day on Wall Street with Microsoft, EMC, and Motorola reporting.After the market closed, Microsoft reported a 23 percent quarterly jump in net income, which hit $4.29 billion as demand for Windows and Office software remained strong. Revenue was $13.76 billion, a 27 increase from one year earlier. The company said it was the fastest revenue growth spurt for their first fiscal quarter since 1999, around the height of the dot-com boom. That should help reassure some investors that despite concerns about the U.S. economy, at least certain areas of the IT sector are still managing to show strong growth.In after-hours trading right after the announcement, Microsoft shares rose by $1.98 to $33.98.EMC's profit jumped as the data-storage company made gains on the sale of part of its stake in virtualization software maker VMware. EMC reported that net income was $492.9 million, compared with a profit of $283.7 million last year. Revenue jumped to $3.3 billion from $2.8 billion a year earlier. Though much of the gains were from a one-time sale of part of VMware to Cisco, other parts of the business did well: Software rose 25 percent, storage business sales rose 9 percent, and service grew 25 percent. EMC shares rose $1.92 on the news, to close at $24.45.Motorola, meanwhile, reported an abrupt drop, of 94 percent, in quarterly profit, as it searched to find a follow-up to its Razr mobile phone. Net income was $60 million, while revenue fell 17 percent to $8.81 billion. Nevertheless investors apparently were heartened that the company saw small boosts in the average selling price for mobile devices -- something that even mighty Nokia did not experience last quarter.Motorola forecast earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of $0.12 to $0.14 a share, while analysts had expected earnings of $0.10. So even though profit was way down, company shares managed to jump $0.75 to $19.30 Thursday.Apple kicked off the week on a high note, on Monday reporting solid earnings that were fueled by record Mac sales and shipments of 1.12 million iPhones. The company handily beat analyst estimates with income of $904 million, 67 percent higher than a year earlier. Earnings per share were $1.01. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had forecast $760.45 million in net income and earnings of $0.84 per share. Apple jumped $11.80 to close at $186.16 the day after its earnings report. Even though Apple shares have been trading at all-time highs, the common wisdom on Wall Street is that things will get even better.Brokerages like Goldman Sachs and UBS reiterated "buy" ratings and Citi Investment Research headlined its report: "The Best Is Yet To Come." With the new Mac OS, Leopard, going to market on Friday, sales are expected to do well through the holiday season.Still, concerns about the U.S. economy linger. With the price of oil skyrocketing and the housing-market crisis making headlines, investors remain worried that economic concerns will weigh on IT sales. But earnings from the major IT bellwethers over the last few weeks are showing that technology is proving to be resilient, so far. |

(InfoWorld) - Amid uncertainty about the greater economy, technology companies are looking good to investors. Strong earnings from Red Hat this week and Oracle last week, continued excitement over mergers and acquisitions, and solid forecasts for global component sales have been pushing shares of tech vendors up.
Over the last week, the share prices of a variety of bellwether tech companies have hit 52-week highs. Shares of eBay, AT&T, and Verizon closed at their highest levels in a year, while Apple and Google hit all-time highs.
IT investors boosted Red Hat shares, which closed Wednesday at $19.89, up by $1 after the company's quarterly results announcement on Tuesday. Solid sales and efforts to contain costs helped lift net income to $19.1 million, up from $12 million from one year earlier. Revenue rose 28 percent for the period to $127.3 million.
Growth for middleware vendor JBoss, which Red Hat bought last year, was not as good as hoped for, but revenue figures indicate that the company's core business is doing better than expected, said brokerage JMP Securities in a research note. Products shipped this quarter included the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2.
Shares of Apple, flying high mainly on excitement over its dominance in the music device market and the recent launch of iPhone, hit an all-time high Monday after the brokerage unit of Citigroup raised its price target for the company to $185 from $160. Citigroup Global Markets noted that in addition to Apple's mobile device business, sales of Macs are exceeding prior estimates. Apple shares rose by $4.13 Monday to hit $148.28 and drifted upward during the week.
EMC also was the subject of positive remarks from analysts with both Citigroup and brokerage Bear Stearns & Co. raising their ratings on the company. Both brokerages were pleased with EMC's continued ownership in VMware, part of which was spun off in an initial public offering in August.
VMware shares started trading at $57, moving upward to $80 this week. The company is gaining on the strength of its dominance in virtualization technology, which allows multiple processes to run more efficiently on servers and is increasingly popular as data centers seek to cut costs.
EMC closed Wednesday at $82.36, $25 higher than where it was trading at mid-quarter.
M&A activity, which has stoked investor excitement this year as the number of deals hits the highest level the market has seen in years, continued this week with EchoStar Communications announcing Tuesday that it plans to buy Sling Media. Sling offers technology that allows TV-watching over the Internet. EchoStar shares jumped by $2.92 to close at $44.14 Tuesday on the news.
Industry watchers also look at forecasts for component sales, to get a sense of how market demand will play out over the next few quarters. iSuppli reduced its forecast of global semiconductor revenue growth in 2007 this week to 3.5 percent, down from its prior estimate of a 6 percent increase. But while the chip forecast slipped, the estimate for shipments of electronic equipment using semiconductors has improved, iSuppli said. The market research company raised its forecast of 2007 electronic equipment revenue growth to 6.8 percent, up from 6 percent before. |

(InfoWorld) - As macroeconomic concerns caused market volatility this week, IT stayed hot as upbeat vendor earnings news, including Apple results, continued to pour in while HP, Netezza, and Voltaire stoked excitement over acquisitions and IPOs.
Though most of the IT bellwethers have already announced results this quarter, a cross-section of vendors this week announced results that spotlighted strength in a range of technologies.
All eyes were on Apple, which reported Wednesday that it sold 270,000 iPhones in the second quarter. The news heartened Apple followers, after partner AT&T said last week that only 146,000 users activated iPhones in the brief time they were on sale before the end of the quarter.
Apple's core business is strong with Mac sales for the quarter, at 1.7 million machines, up 33 percent in terms of units over the same quarter last year and iPod sales, at 9.8 million units up 21 percent in terms of units. The company reported $818 million in profits, a jump of 73 percent. Shares jumped by $8.42 to close at $145.68 Thursday. Goldman Sachs raised its share price target to $165 from $135, saying that it believes major product releases will drive earnings and shares higher.
Apple's results did not stop shares in other technology companies from sliding as U.S. housing, mortgage and credit concerns pushed down exchanges, including the tech-heavy Nasdaq. So far this year, the Nasdaq has hit six-year highs as companies report strong earnings.
For the most part, earnings announcements this week continued to be upbeat for IT. Sony saw disappointing game sector losses but experienced an 11.6 percent jump in quarterly sales in its core electronics sector. It reported that net income doubled to ¥66.5 billion ($534 million).
Storage and security vendor EMC reported a 20 percent increase in second quarter net income Tuesday, to $33.4 million, driven in part by its VMware subsidiary, a portion of which soon will be spun off in an IPO later this quarter.
In the Internet arena, Amazon.com shares surged more than 20 percent Wednesday after its Tuesday earnings announcement. The Amazon Prime shipping plan helped boost its second-quarter earnings to $78 million, more than triple its year-ago results. Wednesday's share jump of $16.93, to $86.18 marks Amazon's largest one-day point gain since its initial public offering in 1997.
Tech vendors continue to lead IPO activity as shares of server and storage switching and software maker Voltaire started trading on the Nasdaq Thursday. The IPO share price was set at $9.00, and shares closed at $8.33 on a down day for most indices. The news follows the announcement last week that Netezza, a maker of data warehousing appliances, hopes to raise $108 million in its own IPO.
On the M&A front, Hewlett-Packard opened the week with a bang by announcing two acquisitions: Plans to buy data center automation software vendor Opsware for about $1.6 billion, and the acquisition of thin-client computing device maker Neoware for $241 million.
Though macroeconomic concerns may have trumped IT news in the markets this week, the signs of a vital tech sector are still there: Rising profits and the confidence underlying continued M&A and IPO activity. |

(InfoWorld) - As price competition takes its toll, AMD Thursday posted its third consecutive quarterly loss, saying that although revenue was relatively solid, it suffered a sharp second-quarter drop in income.
Revenue for the quarter was $1.38 billion, an improvement from $1.22 billion a year earlier. But the company reported a net loss of $600 million, or a loss of $1.09 per share, a big drop from net income of $89 million, or $0.18 per share, a year earlier.
A big part of the loss was due to restructuring costs and a $130 million, or $0.24 per share, charge related to the acquisition of graphics-chip maker ATI last year.
One piece of good news was that in the face of stiff price competition from Intel, AMD said its second quarter gross margin was 34 percent, excluding one-time charges, an improvement over its 31 percent margin in the first quarter of 2007.
"We achieved a 12 percent sequential revenue increase, improved the gross margin, and won back microprocessor unit and revenue market share," said Robert J. Rivet, AMD's CFO, in a statement accompanying the company results.
Looking ahead, AMD forecast that third-quarter revenue would increase in line with traditional seasonal growth rates.
Though that does not point to a big increase in profit in the near future, traders reacted positively to the upbeat news on revenue and margins, driving up company shares by $0.32 to $15.78 in after-hours trading.
Nevertheless, the second-quarter gross margin, for example, was still a far cry from AMD's 57 percent gross margin in the second quarter of 2006.
Rivet acknowledged that to instill confidence in the company, "we must improve our financial results."
AMD faces an uphill battle. After gaining ground, in terms of market share and technology, on Intel two years ago by coming out with dual-core processors, AMD suffered last year as Intel battled back with its own line of multicore chips.
In the longer term, AMD is pinning its hopes to a great degree on its "Barcelona" quad-core Opteron server chip, due out in August. That chip will compete with Intel's dual-core "Woodcrest" and quad-core "Clovertown" Xeon processors launched last year. AMD also needs to stay on track and hit its 2009 goal to bring its new Fusion chip -- made with ATI technology -- to market. |

(InfoWorld) - A group of 10 employees at NEC ran up $18 million in fraudulent costs over seven years, the company announced Tuesday, about a year after reporting a similar incident in 2006.
Stopping the scam allows NEC to reduce payments to contractors and boost income. However, the Japanese company does not plan to issue new profit statements because there was no change in revenue, said NEC spokesman Kosuke Yamauchi.
Likewise, instead of paying extra taxes, the company will reduce the amount of loss listed on its asset sheets by a total of $32 million under its agreement with the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau.
The news is another blow against the company as it struggles to meet accounting standards set by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to ward off a threat by regulators to remove its stock from the Nasdaq exchange. NEC recently announced it would begin to calculate its earnings with Japanese GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) because the company was not able to file its fiscal 2005 annual report to the SEC under U.S. GAAP guidelines.
NEC also had to make accounting changes in 2006 after workers created fake transactions at its NEC Engineering division last year.
The latest scam was discovered when tax investigators looked at the company's books between fiscal year 1999 and fiscal year 2005, ending in March 2006. They found that the accused employees had convinced 17 contractors to pad their orders or create entirely fictitious orders for the software, maintenance, and installation purchased by NEC, the company said in a statement. In return, the workers collected $4.1 million in kickbacks.
NEC has taken "strict disciplinary actions" against the employees through an internal inquiry that could eventually lead the company to file criminal complaints or seek compensatory damages from the workers. However, Kosuke said he did not know whether the workers had been fired. He also declined to name the contractors or to say whether NEC planned to continue doing business with them.
The company also launched a plan to prevent future fraud with stricter oversight. The workers in this scam avoided detection for seven years because they were able to confirm the validity of their own fraudulent orders. NEC will now require a third-party department to confirm all orders as part of a reformation of business practices in its order and sales recording and materials procurement departments.
"NEC deeply regrets the occurrence of these fraudulent transactions at a time when strengthening of corporate compliance and the improvement of internal controls is being strongly sought after," the company said in a statement. "NEC will continue to take every action possible to further strengthen countermeasures ... in order to prevent a recurrence of these types of fraudulent transactions." |

(InfoWorld) - The Truste group's goal of creating an online ecosystem through which software makers are held accountable for the functions of their programs and end users are given the power to keep unwanted applications off their devices won't be achieved easily, according to security researchers and participants in the nonprofit's Trusted Downloads project.
Launched by Truste in mid-February 2007, the Trusted Download Program aims to certify downloadable consumer software programs in the name of diminishing the ability of schemers to rain adware and malware onto the machines of unwitting end users.
By forcing members of its applications’ white list to disclose the entire functional impact of their programs on end users' machines, and requiring that software distributors obtain explicit permission from consumers before downloading any products onto their computers, Truste is hoping to become a virtual clearinghouse for trustworthy software distribution.
However, perhaps even more important than holding the software makers accountable for the content and delivery of their programs, Truste is also trying to force companies participating in the program to ensure that their distribution affiliates are held to the same rigorous disclosure and download standards.
That part of the process may be the hardest element of the program for the group to enforce, said at least one security researcher following the progress of the initiative, which is still in its beta phase.
Ben Edelman, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School and a longtime expert in the field of adware and spyware distribution, claims that of the 11 programs currently listed on the Trusted Download directory, at least one may still be finding its way onto end users' computers without their permission while another has serious questions looming about its intentions.
One of the programs he cites with the problem -- which he blames largely on affiliate sites that often use any means possible to generate downloads to drive up their revenues -- is Web marketing vendor ComScore's Relevant Knowledge 1.3 program.
Although ComScore, long criticized by some security researchers for its installation policies, has worked to improve its products to meet the types of standards set for by Trusted Download, the program is still being secretly installed in some cases, according to the researcher.
Recently, Edelman observed a pornographic executable file on the Web that downloaded a package of "junk software" without user permission that also included Relevant Knowledge.
In another instance, Edelman discovered what he labeled as a "spyware bundler" program that installed Relevant Knowledge without telling the user it was coming, showing or referencing an end user licensing agreement, or giving the user any opportunity to decline the program.
The other application approved by Trusted Download with which the researcher takes issue is the Vomba 1.2.0.1 client, which offers end users access to online multimedia programs and interactive screen savers in exchange for the "occasional display of targeted advertisements," or pop-ups.
In addition to evidence of unsolicited downloads carried out by affiliates, Edelman's concerns with Vomba relate to the company's close ties to Integrated Search Technologies, a sister company of the Montreal, Quebec-based firm. IST was the target of a complaint filed to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2005 for improper software downloads by the Center for Democracy & Technology, another online industry watchdog.
Edelman is also concerned with Vomba because the program will not run on VMware software, a tool frequently used by researchers to dig into the code of such programs to determine their implications. The researcher said there is "no good reason" for the program designers to block such access unless they have something to hide.
"The biggest problems with these types of programs today are typically the affiliate distribution systems, which encourage affiliates to go to great lengths in trying to generate downloads and income," Edelman said. "Even if these 'adware' makers have the right intentions in modifying their programs to meet the requirements of Trusted Download, they seem to continue some bad distribution relationships."
Edelman isn't convinced that the Trusted Download can't work, he just believes that based on the size of the problem, it will take a lot of time and effort for the initiative to have its desired impact across the ever-growing world of downloadable Web applications.
"It's a very difficult task, and the jury is still out as to whether they can actually monitor all the types of affiliate relationships that contribute to the spyware ecosystem," the researcher said. "I worry that it will be hard for them to monitor these relationships with the necessary accuracy."
Officials with Truste said they're disappointed by Edelman's observations but interested in hearing more about his research for the purpose of improving the program. However, the group does not believe that the ComScore and Vomba applications that have been certified are being installed inappropriately.
Truste also pointed out that the two applications in question have gained only "provisional" certification from Trusted Download, which means the vendors are still working to update their programs and get new versions into the hands of legacy users.
Older versions of the programs in question may still be abused by affiliates, lending confusion to the issue, according to Truste.
"We're definitely still learning and working on understanding all the complexities of monitoring distribution networks and models, and there may be certain models that we're unaware of, but we know that companies like ComScore and Vomba have limited their distribution networks as a result of our requirements," said Carolyn Hodge, director of marketing at San Francisco-based Truste.
"That's what we're hearing from a lot of companies coming to us, that they're trying to build credibility and get better control over distribution of their products," Hodge said.
Hodge said that Truste is aware of the relationship between Vomba and IST, but that it believes the company's claims that it is trying to create programs and use affiliate practices that comply with Trusted Download's goals. Truste also reserves the right to bar companies from the white list if any of their other applications are observed violating the initiative's policies.
If the group does find that any application on the list is failing to meet its requirements, Truste has the option of removing the software from the list or putting the involved company on temporary probation until it remedies any problems.
"We definitely respect Ben's work, but our methodology is to try and get companies to improve their practices by offering guidelines and certifications. We think this will push many companies to do a better job with consumer notice and choice," Hodge said. "We don't expect the process to go on without any glitches, but we think we've gotten a good start. In the end we want more applications publishers to meet higher standards, even if it means moving forward one application at a time."
The applications makers themselves say that they are working in good faith to meet the requirements of Trusted Download and prevent their programs from being passed along to end users without permission.
Both ComScore and Vomba officials said they have changed the architecture of their programs so that affiliates no longer handle the applications downloads themselves, but instead pass interested users along to the software makers who handle the implementation and maintenance of the tools.
For instance, ComScore said that it only provides a so-called stub installer to third-party distributors of Relevant Knowledge 1.3. The installer's only function is to call the company's servers to verify that the download of the program has been rightfully approved by the end user.
If any requirements cannot be verified, the relevant Knowledge will never be downloaded on an individual's machine, the company said.
"We stopped doing business with people that we couldn't get to adapt fast enough to the Trusted Download requirements, as we wanted to make sure that the group of people we're working with can provide to the criteria Truste has set," said Christiana L. Lin, chief privacy officer at ComScore. "Our affiliates are contractually required to comply with the privacy requirements we've set forth, and we audit them before paying them for anything they might download onto a user's machine."
Lin said that she believes the technological steps the company has taken have eliminated the problem of unsolicited downloads, and that Relevant Knowledge is meeting Trusted Download's requirements.
Vomba said that it is taking similar measures to prevent abuse, and that it is working hard to build an image that differs from the reputation associated with IST, even though it disputes claims made against that division.
"After the 2005 complaint against IST, and even beforehand, we made a lot of technological changes to have better control of distribution through affiliates," said Karl Bernard, president of both Vomba and IST, which share the same offices.
Bernard said that Vomba and IST are being managed by a new team that is making a concerted effort to be more up front with consumers about its programs. The reason its software won't run in VMware is because the company believes outsiders will use the technology to create altered versions of its applications that bypass the Trusted Download-driven features.
"We learned from IST that when you start giving out executables to affiliates, they can be exposed to all kinds of fraud because someone can modify the code and we can't always know where the content is distributed," Bernard said. "We also learned that when you take a piece of software and bundle it with adware without any link between the programs, it's not an effective business model." |

(InfoWorld) - The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) is sounding an early warning on a proposal in the president's 2008 budget that would require Internet businesses such as eBay and Amazon.com to collect personal data on their customers and share it with the Internal Revenue Service.
The move is part of an effort by the U.S. Treasury Department to track down unreported small-business income generated by the sale of personal property on such sites. Under the proposal, online "brokers" would be required to file income statements for all customers who use their sites to conduct 100 or more separate transactions that generate $5,000 or more per year.
Among the information the brokers would be required to collect would be customers' names, addresses, and taxpayer identification numbers or Social Security numbers. The proposal would be effective for sales of property on or after Jan 1, 2008.
"While no lawmaker has yet come out in support of it, the measure could easily find its way into a larger legislative package," the CDT, a Washington-based think tank, warned in a statement on its Web site.
The biggest concern with the proposed legislation is that it could lead to a vast collection of Social Security numbers and other personal data by a lot of different commercial entities on the Web, said Ari Schwartz, deputy director of the CDT. "The IRS is going after smaller businesses that cheat on their taxes," Schwartz said. In the process, though, millions of other Internet users who use such sites to sell personal property could also be affected.
Though the IRS wants income statements only in cases where businesses or individuals generate more than $5,000 from 100 separate transactions, most online sites are likely to collect personal data from everyone who uses their site, Schwartz said. That's because it's the broker that would be held liable under the proposal. They are therefore likely to require tax-related information in advance from everyone who does business on their sites instead of soliciting the information after the threshold has been reached, he said.
A large number of those buying and selling products online are individuals and small businesses unlikely to have taxpayer identification numbers, Schwartz said. In such cases, the brokers would be forced to collect Social Security numbers to comply with the IRS requirements. "Such data retention proposals would force the creation of massive, privately maintained databases of personally identifiable data that government investigators could tap at their leisure," the CDT warned.
It could also prove burdensome and costly for businesses to acquire, maintain, and protect the data, Schwartz said. It is only the latest example of continuing proposals by government to force businesses to store large amounts of customer data, Schwartz said. Another example is a proposal that requires ISPs to store information about their customers for years as part of an effort to track down and prosecute online predators. Such data retention mandates come at the same time security analysts are advising businesses to reduce the amount of personal data they collect, Schwartz said.
"Sites that currently ask consumers for their [Social Security numbers] are very likely to be related to illegal 'phishing' scams. This proposal would make it harder to distinguish fraudulent sites," CDT said in its statement.
A report from the Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee Small Business/Self Employee Subgroup of the IRS recommended the proposal and said it is necessary because of the "explosive" growth of the Internet. "One of the more popular business opportunities is the selling of new and used items through online auction sites such as eBay, Ubid.com, etc." the report noted. The report quoted an industry group study that showed more than 740,000 Americans reporting their primary or secondary source of income through such sites.
"The number on this study is growing and growing more quickly every year," the report said. "It is likely that a significant number of those users either choose to ignore income reporting requirements or are unaware of their obligations, thus contributing to the tax gap." |
