昨日，微軟宣佈將把其郵件服務Hotmail服務更名為Outlook。資料顯示，Hotmail創立於1995年，1997年被微軟以4億美元收購後成為免費電子郵件提供商。
微軟新版郵件服務將放棄微軟的傳統風格，採用Windows 8的Metro極簡設計風格，並增加有微軟旗下的社交應用。其中，微軟去年85億美元收購的視頻通話應用Skype，將整合至該服務中。
消息稱，微軟決定啟用新的郵件服務主要出於對Hotmail用戶逐漸流向Gmail的不滿。
據comScore數據顯示，從2011年6月至2012年6月間，Hotmail獨立訪問用戶數同比下滑4%，而Gmail同比增長17%。截至 2012年6月，Hotmail佔有全球36%的市場份額，用戶數達3.24億。而谷歌Gmail佔據領先地位，用戶數達4.25億。
Apple-Samsung Case Is a Proxy for Google
The
trial pitting Apple against Samsung that kicks off Monday in federal
court in California could help bolster or refute Apple's contention that
Google's operating system illegally copies software features of its own
devices.
美
國
目前依然是三星電子(Samsung Electronics Co.)和蘋果公司(Apple
Inc.)的最大市場﹐當這兩家公司本週因產品抄襲指控在美國對簿公堂之際﹐它們最新發佈的季度收益報告使人可以清楚地看到﹐官司勝敗對兩家公司的經濟利
益究竟會有多大的影響。
Associated Press
三星智能手機的發貨量一直高於蘋果。
與此同時﹐蘋果上週早些時候宣佈﹐它在這一季度實現利潤88億美元。儘管利潤同比增長了21%﹐但仍令分析師們感到失望。蘋果iPhone手機銷售情況不及預期。據該公司高管說﹐這一定程度上是因為顧客預計新一代iPhone將很快上市。
不過﹐蘋果的代理律師本週將在加州聖何塞(San Jose)的聯邦法庭上給出一種不同的解釋。蘋果的律師在上週提交給法院的文件中聲稱﹐三星通過侵犯蘋果的知識產權獲得了數十億美元的利潤﹐給蘋果造成了數億美元的損失。
除非能在最後一刻達成和解﹐否則蘋果與三星將對簿公堂。去年4月﹐蘋果就是在這家法院提起了對三星的第一樁訴訟﹐指控其非法抄襲iPhone的技術功能和設計﹐用於自己的旗艦智能手機產品Galaxy S。
三星則在另外五個國家對蘋果提出反訴﹐雙方之間的大戰由此擴展至十多個國家﹐涉及數十樁案子。

三星和蘋果本週將因產品抄襲指控在美國對簿公堂。圖為三星旗艦智能手機Galaxy S III。
與此同時﹐蘋果的手機業務則增長緩慢﹐不過其手機業務的利潤率依然是行業內最高的。
三 星從去年年初開始停止公佈其手機發貨量的數據。但在三星上週五發佈季度業績後﹐市場分析人士估計﹐三星第二季度的智能手機發貨量在5,000萬部以上﹐幾 乎得到蘋果在本季度公佈的iPhone發貨量2,600萬部的兩倍。分析人士還估計﹐三星智能手機的發貨量超過了其第二季度全部手機發貨量9,500萬部 的一半。
蘋果在提交給法庭的文件中要求三星賠償25.25億美元的損失﹐大約相當於三星電信部門在推出受到蘋果指責剽竊其設計的第一款手機後的兩年里獲得的運營利潤（170億美元）的15%﹐大約相當於三星這一期間全部運營利潤的8%。
三星也在上週向法庭提交了文件﹐公司的多名律師在文件中稱蘋果的損害賠償請求相當荒謬。
三星在訴訟摘要中寫道﹐蘋果指控三星使用與蘋果借鑒自其他競爭者的完全相同的公共領域的設計理念﹐此舉意在把三星趕出市場﹔蘋果在三星開始研發手機技術差不多20年後才賣出第一部iPhone﹐若非得益於三星的專利技術﹐蘋果一部手機也賣不出去。
在 週五舉行的三星管理人員與投資分析師的電話會議上﹐三星沒有對蘋果的訴訟做進一步評論﹐投資分析師也沒有提起此事。相反﹐他們關注的是三星電信部門運營利 潤率的小幅下降──從第一季度的18.4%下降到17.4%。面對外界的疑問﹐三星的高管們說﹐運營利潤下降是三星向網絡運營商出售電信設備的這一規模相 對較小的業務所致﹐他們還表示﹐智能手機的利潤率出現了增長。
根據湯森路透(Thomson Reuters)的StreetEvents對此次電話會議的記錄﹐在被要求估計該部門現階段的運營利潤時﹐電信部門的高管金漢中(Kim Han-joong)說﹐他預計本季度的運營利潤率將與第二季度持平。
不過﹐從絕對意義上講﹐在今年餘下的時間里﹐預計智能手機將繼續為三星的利潤增長提供動力。
券商Hanmag Securities的分析師Y.B. Oh說﹐據他預計﹐由於三星旗艦智能手機Galaxy S III從5月發佈之後銷售量增長一直在加速﹐電信部門當前季度的運營利潤將達到4.8萬億韓圓﹐高於剛剛結束的這個季度的4.2萬億韓圓。

Group Says Newspapers Aren't Dead, They're Alluring
By TANZINA VEGA
An
ad campaign by the Newspaper Association of America, "Smart is the new
sexy," will extol the virtues of newspapers as something that makes
people more informed.
Google's deal underscores the allure of a business model pioneered by one of the company's rivals: Apple.
But in the end, China's allure -- the country already had more than 100 million Internet users in 2005 -- proved too great for Google to resist. In 2006, it launched a special version of its Web site for mainland China, google.cn, whose results were scrubbed to remove links to sites the Chinese government found politically objectionable.
