By deviating from traditional contract-based plans with its new "Un-carrier" plans, T-Mobile took a risk. When a company deviates from the norm in such a way, it opens itself to criticism as much as praise, and T-Mobile has received a fair amount of both so far. That "other South Korean electronics company," aka LG Electronics, reported its fiscal Q1 2013 earnings this week, and, well, they weren't very good. Samsung, whose earnings we expect to report on very early tomorrow morning, will on the other hand be reporting an entirely different financial scenario - one of health, wealth and generally enormous well-being. It's definitely a tale of two different companies this year. These past few days have been good ones for looking at the health and welfare of the online world. Hard on the heels of Verizon's Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) and the Webroot study on remote access increasing cyber risks, comes the Akamai Technologies release of its Q4 , 2012 State of the Internet Report. Based on data gathered from the Akamai Intelligent Platform, the report provides insight into key global statistics including: connection speeds, attack traffic and network connectivity and availability. When you create a market segment - unlimited delivered movies for an affordable monthly price - everyone from fast followers to re-invent-the-wheelers want a (big) piece of you. By using innovation to drive evolution, Netflix remains a disruptor, instead of the disrupted. This seems be the month for speculation about Verizon and Vodafone and what could or could not happen with Vodafone's 45 percent stake in the highly profitable Verizon Wireless. For those of you who share my fascination with the subject you know I started this month with an April Fool joke item that Google would jump in and purchase the Vodafone interest. Ironically, just two days later Verizon had to issue a statement saying the rumor that it was going to join with AT&T to buy all of Vodafone had no basis in fact. For those in the security industry, the annual Verizon Data Breach Study (DBIR) is a must-read. Those of us who attended the Verizon session on the DBIR 2013 at the annual RSA event a few months back were treated to a first glance of some of the findings of this year's report and an interesting panel discussion about the impacts. The finishing touches have been placed on this sixth edition of the publication, and it is more comprehensive and enlightening than ever. Broomfield, CO-based Webroot, a provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) Internet security for business and consumers and security intelligence solutions to organizations focused on cyber-security, has extraordinary visibility into security threats, particularly Web-borne ones. In fact, it recently expanded its partnership with Facebook so that its massive user based can protect themselves from anywhere by downloading the Webroot SecureAnywhere software for free. It also has been sharing its intelligence and insights on the state of threats in a two-part series of reports. While Cook wouldn't talk specifics about the new line of devices, he did provide something of a limited timeline. "Our teams are hard at work on some amazing new hardware, software and services that we can't wait to introduce in the fall and into 2014. We continue to be very confident in our future product plans." Indeed, Cook put special emphasis on 2014, suggesting that there was "really great stuff" to come in 2014, but also suggested there would be some to come in the fall as well.
