 Apple's head , Mark Papermaster to leave the company -

Apple's head of iPhone engineering out after '

Antennagate'

But analyst argues that Mark Papermaster's departure may be due to culture shock

Computerworld - Mark Papermaster, Apple's senior vice president of engineering for the iPhone and iPod, is leaving the firm, according to reports by The New York Times.

Apple spokesman Steve Dowling confirmed to the publication that Papermaster is leaving the company. His responsibilities will be assumed by Bob Mansfield, vice president of Macintosh engineering.

Papermaster's biography and photograph have already been yanked from Apple's Web site. Google's cache indicated that it had been pulled sometime after last Tuesday.

Dowling did not respond to e-mail from Computerworld seeking confirmation and asking whether Papermaster's departure was connected to the complaints earlier this summer about the iPhone 4's reception.

Papermaster, a 26-year-veteran of IBM, joined Apple in October 2008, but was barred from working at the Cupertino, Calif. company five days later when IBM filed a federal lawsuit that claimed he had signed a non-competition agreement. IBM also argued that working for Apple would "irreparably harm" his former employer.

The bulk of Papermaster's time at IBM was in processor design, and he eventually became IBM's vice president of microprocessor technology development.

Apple and IBM struck an agreement in January 2009 that allowed Papermaster to begin his stint with Apple in April of that year. In his position, Papermaster oversaw the engineering of two of Apple's four revenue pillars: the iPhone and the iPod. In the second quarter of 2010, those two lines generated 44% of the company's total income.

Papermaster's departure immediately ignited speculation that it was connected to what Apple CEO Steve Jobs called "Antennagate" last month.

Shortly after the iPhone 4's late-June launch, buyers griped that signal strength plummeted and calls were interrupted when they touched the external antenna, a new design feature of Apple's popular smartphone. Days after Consumer Reports magazine said it would not recommend the iPhone 4 because of the antenna and reception problems, Jobs hosted a hastily-called press conference, where he said Apple would supply free Bumper cases to iPhone 4 owners through September.

Many felt Apple botched its initial response to the problem when it told users to buy a case or hold the iPhone 4 without touching a small gap on the lower left side of the phone.

Patrick Kerley, senior digital strategist with Levick Strategic Communications, a Washington, D.C.-based crisis management firm, said Apple had been caught "flat-footed" by the mess, and gave the company only a "C" grade for how its handling of the problem.

Although not especially noted at the time, Papermaster was not on stage at Apple's July 16 press conference. Instead, Mansfield, the executive Apple said would assume Papermaster's responsibilities, joined Jobs and Tim Cook, the company's chief operating officer, to take questions from reporters.

Although many connected dots between Antennagate and Papermaster's departure, one analyst rejected the idea.

"I don't think that's the case," said Brian Marshall, an analyst with Gleacher & Company. "When you have a company the size of Apple, you're going to have turnover at low levels and high levels. I don't see this as that big of deal."

Instead, Marshall put forward a different theory.

IBM and Apple have vastly different corporate cultures, with the former known for its button-down ways, while the latter is much more casual, he noted. And Papermaster had worked at the more-structured IBM for over two-and-a-half decades.

"At the end of the day, it might have been that he didn't have enough t-shirts and blue jeans in his closet," said Marshall.

Another DEATH at Foxconn plant

BEIJING

The 22-year-old woman, who died late on Wednesday, was an employee at a packaging department in Foxconn’s Kunshan plant in eastern Jiangsu province, it said.

The company said it is working with the local authorities to investigate the incident.

Foxconn, which assembles Apple’s iPhone and other well-known products, has seen a series of 13 suicides in its Chinese plants this year that has put the spotlight on conditions for millions of factory workers in the “workshop of the world”.

It was unclear whether the latest death was also suicide.

Labour rights activists have blamed suicides at Foxconn — the world’s largest maker of computer components and a supplier to leading brands such as Dell and Nokia — on tough working conditions in its factories.

— A woman worker at Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn died in eastern China after falling from a dormitory building, the company said on Friday.AFP

People with insider info already started buying long long time ago.  When public start to take notic,  it is always at high risk price. buy high sell higher. 

If i hold shares of company that i know of some insider news that the company's certain deal is not going thru or company have some bad news etc,  i would have sold the shares way before those public .   Its always the case.

which bank go first? i pick

UOB -  Family culture still very strong,  Father/son/......etc

 

DBS is a nation's bank. - strong wing.

OCBC / Great eastern - wing beneath the wing

DBS - Damn Bloody Stupid to hav bot into Dao Heng Bank was an expensive mistake made in those early 21st century. Lost S$300 million in writing off it debt.

Remember when it tried to acquire OUB, the smaller bank here? It acted so rogue and arrogantly, and the rogue attitude finally pushed OUB to the arm of UOB.

Now MM Lee said two bank is enuff, so either DBS or OCBC got to go, which bank go 1st ?.

c) 1852



 

2. In 2003 who was the biggest gold exporter to India?
a) United States
b) Switzerland
c) South Africa

The correct answer is South Africa .
Following liberalisation of import controls on gold, India is looking beyond Switzerland and UAE and sourcing more and more of the precious metal from countries like South Africa, Australia and Hong Kong. South Africa exported gold worth Rs 8,272 crore to India in 2003, compared to Rs 4,794 crore during 2002. In doing so, South Africa has dethroned Switzerland as the biggest exporter of gold to India. India's gold import bill for 2003 was Rs 18,607 crore.
.


 

3. Who is the world's largest gold producer?
a) United States
b) South Africa
c) Australia

The correct answer is South Africa.
South Africa has enormous gold ore reserves, estimated at 40,000 tonnes, representing 40 per cent of the global reserves. South Africa's main gold producing area is concentrated on the Archaean Witwatersrand Basin. The Witwatersrand basin, which has been mined for more than 100 years, has produced more than 41,000 tonnes of gold. Gold is the largest mineral foreign income earner in South Africa, contributing 27.4 per cent in mineral revenues. The gold industry is also responsible for 56 per cent of South Africa's mine labour force.

Russia has been cited as one of the greatest unexplored gold regions and reportedly undiscovered reserves of various precious metals in northern Altai could be around 60 million tons. In addition Sukhoi Log, the second largest undeveloped gold deposit in the world could have around 1,029 tonnes of gold. Russia is now at the centre of attention of the big mining companies across the world. The earthquake-prone Altai region sprawls along Russia's border with Mongolia, Kazakhstan and China and is one of the country's biggest grain-producing areas

Peter Lim still continues to buy (now above 19% stake).....with less share available to the public now (34 + 19 i.e. 53% held by two share holders), it will only have a positive effect on the share price (limited downside but unlimted upside)....still waiting for Vincent Tan from Berjaya to act ....good luck :)

if Vincent Tan from Berjaya invokes a REACTION, it will touch 24, 28 and even 32 within months....let's watch....good luck :)

Peter Lim raises his stake to more than 16% (more to report) while Vicent Tan from Berjaya is holding more than 34%....both of them hold more than 50% stake in the company....the impact of Peter Lim buying relentlessly means that there will be less and less share available on the open market and this bodes well for the share price....a REACTION from Vincent Tan in near term is imminent as considerable amount of time was spent by him in the recovery process of the company, and this also bodes well for the share price....just "BUY ON DIP" and wait for fruits to florish under the blessing of the two billionaires....good luck :)
