Netflix / Comcast / X1

High praise on last night's earnings call from Reed Hastings (Netflix CEO) for the X1 box / interface:

"And the X1 is the most powerful CPU box we've ever seen in the MVPD space and so the percentage of streams that are HD and the UI is really spectacular. It's the best that we've ever seen."

1gw - I know how you feel from past experience. I used to be with TD and moved to Nat West Stock Brokers only to find that a year or 2 later, that TDDI bought NWSB.
However, my experience with TD the second time around has been excellent and I too wish the same as you regarding the Interactive Investor takeover of TD.
From what I have seen of the 'II' web-site and trading platforms etc., I suggest that 'II' adopt the TDDI processes as much as they possibly can.

[1gw] 14/10/2016 10:38

As is this:

"I am pleased to announce that TD Bank Group has reached an agreement, subject to regulatory and other approvals, to sell TD Direct Investing (TDDI) to Interactive Investor"

I'm just in the process of moving my II account to Barclays and the Arris shares in my Selftrade account to TD.

Let's hope they manage to get the good bits of TD into II or at least that it takes many months before they switch the TD systems over.

Imperial ramp of Domitian opens to public

For the first time since it was discovered in 1900, a monumental ramp built by Emperor Domitian in Rome opened to the public on Tuesday, October 20th. (2015) Domitian built the ramp in the second half of the 1st century A.D. to connect the Roman Forum, the administrative and political heart of the city, to the imperial palace complex of the Palatine, the city’s center of power. With high walls flanked by storerooms, the imperial ramp went up seven levels with six turns between them and was as much as 35 meters (115 feet) high. Of the seven original ramps levels, four remain, but they are more than sufficient to convey the majesty of the space and the symbolic significance of the steep ascension from popular politics to imperial might…

Frustrating

"The WorldBox partnership with Arris is particularly notable because only Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) and Humax Co. Ltd. were listed as the chosen vendors for the first stage of WorldBox development. There were rumors all along that Arris would also get a piece of Charter's set-top pie, but nothing official ever surfaced. In today's announcement, Charter even emphasizes Arris' contribution to the downloadable security technology in WorldBox 2.0, which was one of the key aspects highlighted in Charter's original vendor agreement with Cisco."

PR machine is working it seems

[1gw] 12/10/2016 18:55

From the announcement:

"Our ongoing work with ARRIS – in developing this platform, including the downloadable security component – and the establishment of the warrant program, speaks to the strength of our long-standing relationship and the value of ARRIS's expertise in large-scale, next-generation deployments."


It all seems to be coming together very nicely - certainly on the US cable side. That looks like multi-year volume now relatively secure with both Comcast and Charter.

So what's the reason for the big drop today? It can't just be to punish me for not following it through when I had my finger poised over the sell button yesterday when it nudged $30! Oh well, back to the waiting room.

Red Tides

Red tides, a common term for the more proper name of “harmful algal blooms” (HABs), occur when colonies of algae—simple ocean plants that live in the sea—grow out of control while producing toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals and birds. The human illnesses caused by HABs, though rare, can be debilitating or even fatal. As the name suggests, the bloom of algae often turns the water red.

But not all algal blooms are harmful. Most blooms, in fact, are beneficial because the tiny plants are food for animals in the ocean. In fact, they are the major source of energy that fuels the ocean food web.

This merger will advance interoperability between connected devices from both groups, enabling the full operating potential of IoT and representing a significant step towards a connected ecosystem.

The newly merged groups will collaborate on future OCF specifications, as well as the IoTivity and AllJoyn open source projects.

Both projects will collaborate to support future versions of the OCF specification in a single IoTivity implementation that combines the best of both technologies into a unified solution. Current devices running on either AllJoyn or IoTivity solutions will be interoperable and backward-compatible. Companies already developing IoT solutions based on either technology can proceed with the confidence that their products will be compatible with the unified IoT standard that the industry has been asking for......
