NEC will cut 10,000 jobs after forecasting $1.3 billion annual loss, mostly in mobile phone biz

Posted by on Sunday, 29 January, 2012

After releasing a revised financial forecast for FY 2011 that predicts an annual .3 billion loss, its third in the last four years, NEC announced it will cut around 10,000 jobs. Bloomberg Businessweek reports President Nobuhiro Endo announced the cuts, revealing most of the cuts will come from the company’s mobile-phone handset business, with 7,000 of them expected to be in Japan. The company reportedly had 115,840 employees as of March so there should be a few folks left around to keep the lights on and maintain ventures like its new JV with NTT Docomo, Panasonic, Samsung and Fujitsu, the NEC Lenovo PC alliance, and its recently announced work on the Hayabusa 2 asteroid explorer. Still, we’ll have to wait and see how the cuts affect upcoming cellphones, like any potential successors to its super-slim MEDIAS N-04C seen above.

Time Warner Cable building an app for Panasonic TVs

Posted by on Thursday, 12 January, 2012

Time Warner Cable has developed an app for Panasonic Viera TVs, making it the first operator to bring cable TV content to the platform. The app was being shown off in the Panasonic booth, along with other content providers.

For Time Warner Cable and other operators, TV apps are one way to provide more value to subscribers and to make more streaming content available than what they have in their traditional VOD libraries. And for consumer electronics manufacturers, these type of apps provide more content that their consumers can access on the devices.

Last year at CES, Time Warner Cable announced plans to build apps for Sony and Samsung broadband-connected TV sets. However, those apps have yet to materialize, it’s not clear when the Panasonic app — or Time Warner Cable apps for any other CE device — would make it into the market. TWC Director of Digital Communications Jeff Simmermon told me by email that the company would like to launch apps sometime this year across multiple platforms, but didn’t have any launch timing to share.

Time Warner Cable is just one of many cable operators looking to build connected TV apps. Samsung, for instance, was showing apps from Comcast, Verizon and DirecTV in its booth at CES. A representative said those apps would show up on its platform later this year.

The Panasonic NN-H765BF Is A Good Microwave If You Need One

The Panasonic NN-H765BF Is A Good Microwave If You Need One

I have a good memory of the first microwave we purchased’ it must have been 25 to 30 years ago. It was really large, and we needed to buy a special cart for it since it was too big for our counter top. In fact, it was probably roughly 5 times the size of microwave ovens that you can get these days. This is one of the main reasons we are going to talk about the Panasonic NN-H765BF.

Even though there are various models of microwaves out these days, you will find some that have no features at all, and others that are loaded with features. The model we are looking at here actually has a number of features. In this article, we will discuss a number of the features that come standard with this unit.

The inside capacity of this unit is a rather sizeable 1.6 cubic feet, which makes it large enough to handle just about anything you can think of. One other thing you might like about this unit is the fact that it has a 15-inch turntable. The turntable will help see to it that your foods are cooked evenly and you won’t have one side of the food becoming tough and rubbery.

The fact that this unit has a one touch sensor cooking feature is another thing numerous people like. This does away with the guesswork of making your foods as this automatically cooks your food at the appropriate power level and cooking times. The keep warm function is one other great innovation that will help you keep things like gravy warm without overcooking it.

And for people who like eating popcorn but can never seem to get it right, the Panasonic NN-H765BF 1250 Watt Microwave Oven is equipped with 3 different popcorn timers depending on the size of the popcorn bag. Something else that the Panasonic NN-H765BF 1250 Watt Microwave Oven has that you won’t find in many other units is a moisture sensor. This helps ensure your food doesn’t get dried out. Making food in microwaves in the past has always caused numerous foods to become dry.

And no matter what you are cooking, you will be able to be sure you have the right settings. The unit comes programmed with foods like frozen pizza, baked potatoes and even omelettes. This will help you cook your foods for the appropriate amount of time.

The Panasonic NN-H765BF is a more sizeable model than some of the more stripped down versions which will end up taking up more space. Even though it is much larger, the Panasonic NN-H765BF still is so much smaller than the first microwave my family had.

Overall, this truly is a good unit and has several features that you may find useful. Amazon sells this microwave model and will also ship it right to your door. You can really save 28% from the retail price by ordering the Panasonic NN-H765BF from Amazon.
