DAILY DETAILS
The euro gained on the US dollar earlier this morning after a successful Portuguese bond auction this morning. The Portuguese government sold €1.25 billion in four– and ten-year bonds today, with yields on the four-year notes rising to 5.4%. The yield on the ten-year note, however, fell to 6.7%. Interest in the bonds was strong, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.6 times for the four-year and 3.2 times for the ten-year. It was feared that yields above 7% may have forced Portugal to turn to rescue funds in order to prevent rising borrowing costs spreading across the region. Bond buying from the ECB earlier in the week and Japan and China’s stated intentions to purchase the region’s debt helped ease some of the liquidity concerns heading into the auction. Comments from EU Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn also supported the euro, as he said that the ‘the effective lending capacity of the current European Financial Stability Facility should be reinforced and the scope of its activity widened.’ [1] With Portugal’s bond auction completed, the euro may rise in the short term. However, Spain and Italy will test the bond market tomorrow and the structural weaknesses in the euro are yet to be addressed. As a result, any gains in the euro may be short-lived.

Steve Ballmer’s CES Performance Proves He Needs to Go: 10 Reasons Why
January 11th, 2011 |
No Comments
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took the stage at the Consumer Electronics Show last week amid anticipation from both critics and supporters. The critics were hoping he would go on-stage and deliver the same old, boring discourse on why Microsoft is tops in software. The supporters were hoping that Ballmer would talk about the impact Windows 8 will have, why Windows-based tablets are the future, and how Microsoft will spend the next year overcoming pressures from Google and Apple. Unfortunately for those supporters, Ballmer did little of the sort. Instead, he and his colleagues spent time talking about Xbox, one of Microsoft’s strongest achievers in the past year; Windows Phone 7 and how the company will improve the OS in the coming year; and Windows 7. He also mentioned that the next version of Windows will support ARM Holdings architecture. But that was about it. In the process, Ballmer showed that Microsoft in 2011 will be the same company it was in 2010: unsure of what the future really holds. He also effectively showed that he doesn’t have what it takes to run Microsoft any longer. Ballmer seems to be living in the past, and it’s hurting Microsoft and its investors. Read on to find out why 2011 should be Steve Ballmer’s last year at Microsoft. – …

Ultra-Small Intel SSD 310 Enables Dual-Drive Notebooks, Innovative Tablets or Rugged Embedded Applications
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- New Intel SSD 310 Series delivers Intel X25-class performance, but in 1/8th the size.
- Ultra-compact SSD enables the accelerated performance of an SSD with higher-capacity HDDs for dual-drive notebooks.
- Intel SSD 310 is ideal for tablets, rugged, low-power military or industrial embedded apps, and was selected by DRS Technologies for its upcoming ARMOR™ tablet PC.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 29, 2010 – Intel Corporation announced today the Intel® Solid-State Drive (Intel® SSD) 310 Series, an ultra-small solid-state drive (SSD) that delivers Intel® X25-class award-winning SSD performance, but in one-eighth the size. Measuring 51mm-by-30mm and only 5mm thick, the Intel SSD 310 is a fast, ultra-compact SSD that brings flexibility, ruggedness and scalability to innovative form factors and devices. It can enable highly responsive dual-drive notebooks, innovative single-drive tablets and low-power, rugged embedded industrial or military applications. When paired with a high-capacity hard disk drive (HDD) in a dual-drive system, the Intel SSD 310 can improve overall PC system performance by up to 60 percent.1
A solid-state drive uses no moving parts, and thus is more durable and reliable than a mechanical HDD, while using less power and providing better system responsiveness. The Intel SSD 310 Series contains 34 nanometer (nm) Intel NAND flash memory and is available in an m-SATA form factor in 40 gigabyte (GB) and 80GB capacities.
The Intel SSD 310 supports SATA signals over a PCI Express (PCIe) mini-connector for on-board, compact storage in single-drive netbooks, tablets or handheld devices. Weighing just 10 grams, the compact size also enables dual drive all-in-ones, notebooks or small-form-factor (SFF) desktops to help accelerate boot time and access to frequently used applications or files.
“The Intel SSD 310 series will allow us to provide the advantages of a full-performance Intel SSD paired with the storage of a hard disk drive in a small, dual-drive system,” said Tom Butler, director of ThinkPad product marketing, Lenovo. “We’ve offered Intel SSD solutions for our highly innovative Lenovo ThinkPad laptops for some time, and now we’re looking forward to incorporating this new solution across our ThinkPad line.”
With its rugged design, the Intel SSD 310 Series has been chosen by DRS Technologies for a new ARMOR communications tablet PC to be unveiled at Storage Visions in Las Vegas. The ARMOR mobile and field unit tablet PC is certified by DRS to work in extreme temperatures and hold up to shock, vibration and drops, delivering up to nine hours of operating time.
“In order to meet the rigorous demands of our mobile users, we design for mission-critical tasks that require connectivity and handheld mobility in all-weather operations,” said Mike Sarrica, vice president and general manager for DRS Tactical Systems Inc. “The Intel SSD 310 Series fits the bill by offering a reliable and high performing memory solution.”
“The Intel SSD 310 Series is the first in a wave of SSD products we will introduce throughout the next year,” said Tom Rampone, Intel vice president and general manager of Intel’s NAND Solutions Group. “With this introduction, Intel is offering full SSD performance in a compact, ultra-small form factor.”
Already shipping to customers, the Intel SSD 310 is priced at $99 for the 40GB capacity and $179 for the 80GB version, both in 1,000-unit quantities.
