| Starz Outlines its Digital Strategy Post Netflix Posted: 20 Nov 2011 03:20 PM PST
Albrecht described his decision to cut ties with Netflix as "a big boy choice", and claimed that it would benefit his company in the long run. "We would have eroded...our core business," Albrecht said at the investor conference for his channel's parent company, Liberty Media. "Within two to three years the Netflix deal would have been a drag on Starz's earnings." From what we can tell Starz is planning to offer access to even those without an existing cable TV package, though he was a bit unclear if this is the strategy he is actively pursuing, or simply what he'd like to do. Would you pay for a separate Starz streaming subscription? If so what would you be willing to pay? |

"It's going to be very interesting to see who gets drives and who doesn't," Luczo said, adding that customers are stockpiling large capacity drives in anticipation of shortages, even despite the higher prices. "Some have offered $250 million upfront," he told Bloomberg. Looking 12 months ahead Luczo has also confirmed we are unlikely to see pre-flood pricing for even longer. "People are going to appreciate the complexity of this business," he said. |
| DRAM Prices Stabilize As Manufacturing Output Gets Slashed Posted: 20 Nov 2011 12:32 PM PST
A solution is on the horizon however, and while it's far from ideal, it's better than a complete collapse. In an attempt to help relieve oversupply issues in the channel, DRAM manufacturer Elpida announced it would be cutting production for at least one month, and possibly more if needed to help stabilize the market. The news as intended will no doubt help stabilize the market, but prices, at least in the short term will likely remain low. As of noon Friday the spot price for branded 2Gb DDR3 modules dropped 1% to US$0.73, while white-branded 2Gb sticks decreased by 2% to US$0.65. So prices didn't skyrocket up based on the news, but they aren't likely to drop much farther either. If you've been planning on stocking up on DDR3 modules we suggest hitting up your e-tailer of choice sooner rather than later. Newegg is currently selling 16GB of brand name modules for under $75. |

With Netflix's 21.5 million streaming subscribers set to lose access to Starz's content in February 2012, everyone has been left wondering what comes next. The company's content catalog currently includes hundreds of movies from Sony and Walt Disney, including several original programs such as "Spartacus" and "Boss". Will the company retreat back to the safety of established cable networks? According to Starz President Chris Albrecht they still have a bright future ahead of them online, but will soon be going 
We hate to be constantly beating the doomsday drum on the hard drive crisis in Taiwan, but Seagate isn't making any easier to give this a positive spin. According to Chief Executive Officer Stephen J. Luczo, Wall Street is talking nonsense if they think drive production will reach pre-flood as estimated in the summer of 2012. Instead Luczo estimates it will take a

So far what is the biggest threat to the iPad's largely unchallenged supremacy in the tablet market? The answer has certainly got to be Amazon's Kindle Fire, which sports a very enticing $200 price tag. Even though the Kindle Fire is probably the only non-iPad tablet to have generated iPad-like buzz, it's not the only affordable tablet on the market. The ranks of sub-$300 tablets are constantly swelling. And if NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is right, soon there will be a number of Tegra 3 tablets in this price range.
