(ZNGA), MyYearBook, HTC, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Google Inc. (GOOG). Over the last 12 months, Cotendo emerged as the most notable competitor of Akamai in the higher margin value-added services (VAS) market, after it won some major deals. Cotendo ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AKAM) reported earnings of 25 cents per share in the third quarter of 2011, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. However, earnings per share (EPS) increased 8.7% from the 23 cents per share reported in the year-ago quarter. Reported EPS includes stock-based compensation expense and amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation but excludes amortization of other intangible charges and restructuring charges. The year-over-year growth was primarily driven by strong revenues; partially offset by higher expenses, which dragged margins in the reported quarter. Operating Performance Gross profit (including stock-based compensation) increased 7.3% year over year to $188.6 million in the reported quarter. However, gross margin contracted 230 basis points (bps) year over year to 67.0% in the same period. Adjusted EBITDA (including stock-based compensation) increased 7.3% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With no resolution in sight to the debt ceiling issue, heightened anxiety among investors led the benchmarks lower for the third consecutive day and markets posted their worst day in eight weeks. Adding to the woes, economic sluggishness continued to foster negative sentiments as the Dow seems to be en route to its biggest weekly decline since August last year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has now closed in the red for the past four days and on each of those past four occasions, the declines have got stronger. Yesterday, the blue-chip index settled at 12,302.55, after plunging 198.7 points or 1.6%, recording its biggest one-day drop since early June. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) lost 25 points to close at 1,304.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index suffered ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most developing sectors of the economy. The industry is evolving very rapidly, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (42% of their total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (23.4% of their total sales). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. Retailers and service providers generated just 4.0% and 2.3%, respectively of their revenues online, a slightly higher percentage than they were in the prior year. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. The business-to-business category makes up 91% of total e-commerce sales, with the balance coming from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is the latest victim of cyber crime, as reported by Bloomberg. The report highlighted a series of attacks on companies such as EMC Corp. (EMC), Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), Google Inc. (GOOG), Sony Corp. (SNE) and Citigroup Inc. (C). Bloomberg reported that the data theft at IMF has been linked to a foreign government. Although IMF did not quantify the amount and significance of data stolen, security analysts believe that the attackers had broad access to IMF systems, thereby providing them visibility into IMF plans. The attack on the IMF led the World Bank to sever its network link with its sister organization, even though it was not used for confidential financial information or other sensitive data. The alleged state-based intrusion is particularly alarming, as ]]></description>

Not the biggest in the history of the tech industry, but the biggest in the history of all business. According to analysts, this investment opportunity will dwarf the internet and tech boom of the 90s. And it’s time to start now while the smart money is jockeying to help bring a number of companies to the forefront in the coming years. Finding the right investment will be the challenge, but I have a few companies to keep an eye on over 2011 and beyond… The Cloud – Eliminating the Desktop ]]></description>

We’ve heard a lot about healthcare, financials and automakers. Heck, even the rare earth area has received some press. But one sector has quietly lurked in the shadows. And because it’s not getting as much attention as it should, few people are talking about the momentum that’s building. I’m talking about technology. The tech sector is booming right now. But the boom, in our opinion, has only just begun… The Top Tech Sector All-Stars Take chipmakers and semiconductor companies like ARM Holdings, Entropic and MIPS, for example.

The industry is still evolving, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (35% of total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (21.2%). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. While retailers and service providers generated just 3.2% and 1.6% of their revenues online, these are the fastest growing segments. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer.
