Ballmer tightens grip on Microsoft with major revamp

SAN FRANCISCO | Fri Jul 12, 2013 2:58am EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp's sweeping re-organization on Thursday creates a company that, more than ever, bears the stamp of Chief Executive Steve Ballmer.

The face of Microsoft since he took the reins from co-founder Bill Gates in 2000, Ballmer stressed the importance of improving internal collaboration and eliminating redundancies when he released the company's new organizational blueprint.

But some analysts say the changes also mean less leeway for Microsoft's individual businesses to set and pursue their own agendas, as the company imposes a more streamlined, top-down approach to its strategy and operations.

For all the changes promised, the move reinforces Ballmer's grip on the company's direction and further muddies the succession picture.

"There's still no heir apparent or any succession strategy that has become apparent," said David Smith, an analyst with industry research firm Gartner. "It sounds like he wants to run it in a more centralized style."

That Ballmer, 57, who presided over a decade of share price stagnation and was deemed slow to respond to mobile computing, remains more entrenched may worry investors and spur concern that the reorganization will truly effect change.

"In theory, it's a great idea. The key question will be can Ballmer deliver this in new model and can it be successful," said Channing Smith, co-manager of the Capital Advisors Growth Fund, which does not own Microsoft shares.

"With his track record, it will be question mark for investors going forward."

Microsoft is the world's No.1 software company, whose $74 billion in annual revenue is powered largely by its dominant role in the PC business via its flagship Windows and Office software. But the company has been caught flat-footed by new trends such as mobile computing, where software by Google Inc and Apple Inc lead the pack, as well as by Web-based "cloud" services.

Investors credit Ballmer for expanding the Windows and Office franchises and growing Microsoft into one of the world's largest technology corporations.

But they also fault him for missing out on technology trends. And despite the success of the Xbox - the leader in a declining videogames industry - the company has cranked out a string of failed devices from the Zune media player to the Kin phone.

"It's been a rocky road. There's definitely been a lot of optimism around certain products, which have not met expectations," said Daniel Ives, an analyst with FBR.

STEP ASIDE?

The challenges have led to sporadic calls for Ballmer to step down, including from activist hedge fund investor Dan Loeb two years ago.

That possibility became more remote with the reorganization however, which BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis said shored up Ballmer's control over the sprawling organization of 98,000 employees that he runs.

"If you're investing on the thesis that the CEO is going to change soon, you need to reconsider your thesis," he said.

Rob Helms, an analyst with the consulting firm Directions, said, "What this reorganization has done is taken away a lot of functions in principle from people who were reporting directly to Steve Ballmer," said .

That makes the post-Ballmer succession plan, long a concern among investors, even less clear. Under the previous structure comprised of mini-business units "there was a job short of the CEO's chair that was very much like a CEO," said Helm.

"So if you wanted to develop your career, the skills and the credibility to be Microsoft's next CEO there was a place to land. Now there really isn't."

DailyDirt: Popular Wedding Photos

Seems to me that there could be copyright issues here. Being chased by a dinosaur - don't the Jurassic Park folks have the rights sewn up for that one? White wedding dresses - hasn't that been trademarked yet? Surely wedding bouquets have been patented.

I'd advise anyone getting married not to permit any photographs at all. Especially if those photos get posted to Facebook, you can expect a flood tide of lawsuits to swiftly follow.

Space penetrator passes icy test

The penetrator shatters the ice block into a shower of small crystals

UK engineers have tested a projectile technology that they believe could be used to explore the Solar System.

The steel penetrator was fired at a 10-tonne cube of ice to simulate the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa.

It hit the block at a speed of 340m/s and decelerated rapidly, but its structure remained intact, as did its interior components.

Researchers say the penetrator would be a robust and inexpensive way to land instruments on other worlds.

These might be seismometers to study the interior of Mars, or a miniature organic chemistry laboratory to check for microbial activity on icy Jovian satellites.

Scientists envisage several penetrators being deployed at once, carrying perhaps a network of sensors to widely separated locations in the sub-surface.

Being able to get just a few metres down is key, because if life exists anywhere else in the Solar System, it is likely to be buried away from harsh space radiation.

Europa - Icy moon of Jupiter

  • Discovered along with three other Jovian moons by Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei in 1610
  • Orbits 670,900km from Jupiter with same hemisphere always facing the gas giant
  • Nasa's Galileo probe returned detailed pictures of cracked surface in 1990s
  • Has small metal core (light blue, centre) surrounded by silicate rock (orange)
  • Global ocean of liquid water (blue) is covered by a thick layer of ice (beige)
  • Considered a promising place to look for microbial life beyond Earth

Thursday's test was certainly spectacular.

The full-size, 20kg projectile slammed into the ice block at just under the speed of sound, producing a huge plume of snow.

Space 'ploughshare'

The probe experienced a peak deceleration of 24,000g. To put that in context, an ejecting fighter pilot might experience 12-14g.

Its paintwork was scuffed a little after coming to rest against the roof of the concrete holding box, but the projectile was otherwise unaffected by the violent encounter.

"It was really successful because the entry velocity was higher than expected and all the systems we've looked at so far have survived," Marie-Claire Perkinson, the programme's industrial leader from Astrium UK, told BBC News.

The latest demonstration was conducted at Pendine in West Wales. This is where defence company QinetiQ operates a long rocket track on which objects can be accelerated to high speed before impacting a target. Normally, this would be a new type of missile that needed to be tested before entering military service.

"It's a classic case of swords to ploughshares," said QinetiQ fellow Phil Church.

"This is a civilian project where we are applying a lot of our technical capabilities in simulation, experiments and materials, but which we wouldn't be able to do without the Ministry of Defence research over the past 30 to 40 years underpinning it all."

The space penetrator has itself been in development for almost 10 years, and was originally proposed for a British lunar mission called Moonlite.

That venture was eventually shelved, but the idea of a "hard lander" was so compelling, the European Space Agency decided to pick up the concept.

It now wants to take the technology through to full maturity.

"Penetrators offer a number of advantages over 'soft landers', which have to slow down to reach the surface safely," explained Esa project manager Sanjay Vijendran.

"They would enable you to get deep into the sub-surface essentially for free, up to three metres without having to drill. And being light means you can deploy a few at once from a single spacecraft orbiter."

Thursday's demonstrator carried accelerometers and data loggers to help engineers better understand the forces of impact.

The penetrator could be ideal for investigating Jupiter's moons

In addition, it incorporated a special spring mechanism to isolate the interior payload compartments from the outer skin of the projectile.

If the penetrator is sent into ice such as exists on Europa or in a shadowed crater on the Moon, it will have to survive not only the collision but also extremely low temperatures, down to minus 200C. Batteries and electronics will quickly stop working in these conditions.

Space penetrator system

  • Deployed from carrier satellite at 200km altitude; retro-rocket slows initial fall to surface
  • Designed for hard landing; will break through ice and regolith (soil) and penetrate to 2-3m depth
  • Internal components designed to survive massive deceleration, about 25,000g
  • Electronics covered in resin coating to prevent breakage; any voids filled with glass beads
  • Instruments might include sample retrieval drill, microscope and mass spectrometer
  • Vacuum gap insulates internal compartments from extreme cold; around -200C on icy moons
  • Battery needs to last a few weeks; UHF data relay back through carrier satellite

But the team has designed a suspension system from a Torlon polymer. This material will collapse under a high deceleration but then push back to maintain a 2mm insulation gap around the sensitive payload casing.

The post-impact inspection revealed the springs had done precisely what was expected of them.

The test penetrator also carried a mini-drill that on a real mission could push out into the surrounding ice to grab samples for onboard analysis.

On this occasion, the drill was not operated but the developers, Rapid Space Technologies, should get a lot of feedback on how their equipment coped with the huge loads from the impact.

Ultimate test

Future work will now concentrate on battery and communications capabilities. A penetrator will likely live for only a few weeks once in place, and it will need sufficient power to run its experiments and then radio the results to the spacecraft that deployed it for onward relay to Earth.

Engineers believe they should have a flight-ready system before the end of the decade.

As yet, no mission opportunity for a penetrator has been identified.

Esa has a spacecraft called Juice going to Europa in the next decade, but there is no space onboard for this technology.

Nonetheless, the British team is hopeful an attractive opportunity will arise soon.

"We will need to demonstrate it all, end-to-end," Alan Smith, the director of the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London, told BBC News.

"This will involve firing one of these demonstrators into an ice target, get it to sample the ice and transmit the data from the target without human intervention.

"That's the ultimate demonstration - a real penetrator doing its job. We're about three years away from that position."

5 things to know about Tour de France

(AP) ? Five things to know as the Tour de France enters its 10th stage on Tuesday:

___

1. ZZZZZZZZZ ? And on the 10th day they rested. In hotels in and near Saint-Nazaire on France's western coast, the 182 riders who survived the Tour's bruising first nine days were sleeping, eating, and sleeping some more Monday to recharge their batteries for the middle section of three weeks of racing. Smart riders know that to stop riding altogether is a recipe for stiff legs, so many wheeled out their bikes for a few hours to keep their engines ticking. How times have changed. Three-time winner Greg LeMond recalled in a recent interview with French sports newspaper L'Equipe that he used to play golf on a rest day. Perhaps the most legendary rest day episode involved Jacques Anquetil. The story goes that he overindulged on roast mutton and booze after crashing a radio station's barbecue party during the 1964 Tour, and paid the price the next day. He initially struggled on a mountain ascent, but with some prodding from his team and a little luck ? his top rival had a flat ? Anquetil went on to win his fifth Tour, a record since matched but never beaten.

___

2. BACK IN THE SADDLE ? You can bet Chris Froome will not have been so devil-may-care as Anquetil. The Kenya-born Briton will wear the leader's yellow jersey in Tuesday's 10th Stage. It shouldn't be too rude an awakening for riders as it's a mostly flat 122.4-mile ride across Brittany from Saint-Gildas-des-Bois to Saint-Malo. The next test to Froome's grasp on the leader's shirt comes Wednesday with the first individual time-trial, up to the majestic island citadel of Mont-Saint-Michel.

___

3. TIGHT-LIPPED BRAILSFORD ? Dave Brailsford, the manager of Froome's Sky squad, insists his riders won't collapse again in the mountains like they did in Sunday's ninth stage. Paris-Nice winner Richie Porte and several other Sky riders were dropped on the first big climb. That left Froome, the pre-race favorite, to fend for himself for the next 78 miles and over three more monster ascents. But he held on, solo, to keep the yellow jersey. "(Using) a boxing analogy, he's taken the biggest right hook he could face, and he didn't flinch," Brailsford said. "You learn more from adversity." Asked what Sky's plan would be to avoid a repeat scenario, he said: "I'm not going to spell it out. I'm not going to go into the details of the changes we're going to make."

___

4. DUELING MANIFESTOS ? The candidates to run cycling's governing body used the Tour's rest day to publicize their visions for the future of a sport trying to move beyond its doping past. UCI boss Pat McQuaid, who is seeking a third four-year term, insisted the sport has changed for the better during his tenure as he unveiled his manifesto for cycling's future. He wants to "preserve the new culture and era of clean cycling," develop women's cycling, and authorize an independent audit to look into the UCI's actions between 1999 and 2005, the period when Lance Armstrong won seven Tour titles before they were stripped for doping. Brian Cookson, the head of British Cycling who put out his own manifesto last month as part of his own candidacy, retorted Monday in a statement that he believed people will "ask why those things haven't been done in the last eight years" under McQuaid.

___

5. RIDERS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN? ? Cyclists know about pain, sweat and hard work. The Orica GreenEdge riders prove they know how to have fun too. The Australian squad and some filmmaking-savvy helpers have put together an online video tribute to legendary rock 'n' roll band AC/DC in which the riders don wigs, strum on floppy toy guitars and even play air guitar on a Tour podium to the tune of the Australian band's classic, "You Shook Me All Night Long." Simon Gerrans and Daryl Impey do their riffs while in the yellow jersey that they both wore last week. Others played along, too. BMC's Philippe Gilbert and fellow Belgian Eddy Merckx, a five-time Tour champion, get cameos. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAl1-mBhFpU

(AP) ? Public approval of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's government has suffered a steep drop in the weeks since massive protests broke out across this country, according to Brazil's first nationwide poll released since the unrest began.

For the first time, polling shows she would be forced into a second-round runoff vote in next year's presidential election.

Published Saturday by Folha de S. Paulo, the country's biggest newspaper, the Datafolha survey found 30 percent of respondents rated Rousseff's government as "great/good," a sharp fall from the 57 percent who gave it that rating three weeks ago before the demonstrations began.

The government's popularity was down throughout the country, including in the northeast where the ruling Workers Party is strong. Her rating dropped there from 64 to 40 percent there.

The poll also found that 30 percent of voters say they'll cast their ballot for Rousseff in October 2014 ? that is down from 51 percent just a few weeks ago.

If no candidate wins an outright majority, a second-round vote is held between the top two vote winners.

In the Datafolha poll, that second-round candidate would be Marina Silva, a former Workers Party environment minister who split with the party in 2009 over policy differences and joined the Green Party. She ran for president in 2010 and won a surprising 20 million first-round votes, but it wasn't enough to get her to the second-round ballot.

In the most recent poll, 23 percent of respondents said they'll vote for Silva, up from 16 percent a few weeks ago.

Datafolha interviewed 4,717 people on June 27 and 28, and the poll has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

The government's approval rating had hit 65 percent in March, according to Datafolha, but in June suffered its biggest drop since Rousseff took office 2 ? years ago. Many Brazilians have been upset about rising inflation and shrinking purchasing power.

The firm said the government's approval had suffered the biggest drop for any president since a 1990 fall for then-leader Fernando Collor de Mello who tried to control spiraling inflation by freezing all savings accounts. He was forced from office because of a corruption scandal two years later.

Beginning mid-June, the recent protests had first targeted transportation fare hikes but quickly expanded to a variety of causes including government corruption, high taxes, poor public services and the billions of dollars spent for next year's World Cup soccer tournament and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The Datafolha poll showed that 81 percent of respondents supported the protests.

Political watchers said Rousseff's popularity drop was to be expected in the face of the biggest protests this 197 million-person nation has seen in two decades.

"The protest movement that began two weeks ago isn't necessarily a movement against the (ruling) Workers Party nor Dilma personally, it's a protest against the entire ruling class," said Pedro Arruda, a political science professor at the Catholic University of Sao Paulo. "If polled, the unpopularity would be of all politicians. The people are protesting all the parties."

For Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes, the demonstrations have underscored the "institutional crises" affecting the country's political parties.

"Which party has a good image?" he asked in an interview in Saturday's edition of Folha de S.Paulo. "Only the one not yet been born. We cannot sit back and think there is nothing more to be done because we have become a democracy, pulled 40 million people out of poverty and enjoy high employment rates.

Throughout the protests, the country has been hosting the Confederations Cup soccer tournament, which are seen as a warm-up to next year's World Cup. But the unrest has grown to such a level that Rousseff and other political leaders have reportedly decided not to attend Sunday's final match, which would be seen as a major embarrassment after they had showcased the country's hosting of such mega-events as proof that Brazil had finally arrived on the global stage. Even football legend Pele says he won't attend the match. Demonstrators are expected to turn out around the iconic Maracana stadium where the Brazilian and Spanish teams will meet.

Meanwhile, social networks were abuzz with rumors of a general strike Monday, with posts saying it would hit every state. However, representatives for Brazil's two biggest unions, the Central Workers Union and Union Force, said they knew nothing about such a strike but were planning a national work slowdown for July 11, when workers will only perform strictly what's required of them on the job.

Rousseff is expected to deliver a formal proposal to Congress early next week on a political reform plebiscite she wants held in the coming months. She hasn't yet released any details on what political reforms she will suggest nor how or exactly when a plebiscite would occur.

Earlier this week, the president announced $23 billion in transportation investments. On top of that, she said her government would prioritize improvements in fiscal responsibility, controlling inflation, political reform, health care, public transport and education.

94% Room 237

All Critics (119) | Top Critics (32) | Fresh (112) | Rotten (7) | DVD (1)

A curious and entertaining documentary.

The human brain is a marvellously suggestible organ.

[A] strange, frustrating, occasionally fascinating doc ...

"Room 237" evolves from an ode to movie love at its most delirious to a wry examination of the crackpot mind at work.

There's enough real evidence supporting the theory that Kubrick was a genius, and that's pretty entertaining all by itself.

It's about the human need for stuff to make sense - especially overpowering emotional experiences - and the tendency for some people to take that sense-making to extremes.

An intellectual exercise, and an entertaining one, especially for those who don't want to label The Shining as just a ghost story.

It has the same entertainment value as listening to a late-night radio host indulge his listeners on Roswell, Area 51 and 9/11. Everything sounds completely crackers, until it all makes crazy sense.

What emerges from Room 237 is not a denigration of conspiracies, but a kind of celebration of our ability to create patterns where (perhaps) none exist.

"Room 237" could become an essential companion piece to "The Shining" from now on. For those who see both, it will be impossible to think about one without the other.

...all about the work of criticism - finding fresh avenues of delight.

Watching it makes you feel like you're attending a really entertaining film class where your classmates confidently let their freak flags fly.

It's an essay about the human need to reject the notion of a random universe and find order and meaning in existence. These people are developing their own creation myths, with Kubrick the mastermind responsible for the Intelligent Design.

Termitic film nerds could chow down for years on the wood chips.

You know when "Room 237? starts getting really scary? When the people in the film start making sense.

Kubrick fans and movie geeks will want to check this film out as soon as possible

Kubrick fans will take 'Shining' to 'Room 237.'

The credibility of these theories ranges from faintly plausible to frankly ridiculous, but Ascher isn't interested in judging them; his movie is more about the joys of deconstruction and the special kind of obsession that movies can inspire.

Some of the interpretations seem more of a stretch than others but all are entertainingly presented by director Rodney Ascher. (The movie) serves as a testament to Stanley Kubrick's cinematic mastery.

As fascinating as it is frustrating
