Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology US-TECH Summary Reuters - 2 hours 15 minutes ago Send IM Story Print Sony PS3 shortage looms NEW YORK - Sales of the PlayStation 3 video game console jumped in the weeks after a $100 price cut last month, Sony Corp's <6758.T> top PlayStation executive said on Wednesday. "We are up about 300 percent over where we were pre-price drop," Jack Tretton, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, said in an interview. "We are up significantly versus last year." Nintendo to cut Wii price by 20 percent to $200 NEW YORK - Nintendo Co Ltd <7974.OS>, the top maker of the current generation of video game consoles, said on Wednesday it will cut the price of its Wii video game console by $50 to $199.99, starting Sunday. The move makes Nintendo the last among its peers to cut prices. Last month, Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O> slashed $100 off the price of its high-end Xbox 360 console and Sony Corp <6758.T> cut the price of its PlayStation 3 by $100. Sony says to launch Gran Turismo 5 for PS3 CHIBA, Japan Watching your own TV, thousands of miles away AMSTERDAM - So you're moving from the United States to another country and the most important thing you can think of is how you can watch the new season of "American Idol"? You're not alone -- "placeshifting" is one of the hottest new areas in TV technology. People no longer need to live in a country to see all of their local TV stations. In fact, they don't even need a TV anymore. Judges in Microsoft-i4i case question damages WASHINGTON - Appeals court judges hearing the latest round of a long-running patent fight between Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O> and Toronto technology company i4i on Wednesday questioned a lower court's calculation that the software giant owed $290 million in damages to the smaller firm. The appeals court made no immediate ruling on an injunction which a U.S. district court in Texas had imposed in August, that would have barred Microsoft from selling some versions of its popular Word application on the grounds that it infringed i4i's patent relating to XML, or extensible markup language. Apple, Eminem headed for trial as talks break down NEW YORK - Apple Inc <AAPL.O> and Eminem have failed to settle a lawsuit over whether the rapper's songs can be downloaded on the iTunes music service, paving the way for a federal trial to begin on Thursday. Eight Mile Style LLC, Eminem's music publisher, had accused iPod maker Apple in a 2007 lawsuit of having used 93 songs in a downloadable format on iTunes without permission. Carmakers favor U.S. ban on texting while driving WASHINGTON - Automakers backed calls to ban drivers on U.S. roads from text messaging with cell phones and other hand-held devices, an issue gaining attention from the Obama administration and Congress. "It's common sense," Dave McCurdy, president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers trade group, said in a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, a week before the U.S. government holds a distracted driving forum in Washington. Connecticut AG asks AT&T to abandon new layoffs NEW YORK - The Connecticut state attorney general called on AT&T Inc <T.N> on Wednesday to abandon plans for 2,500 new layoffs and criticized the phone company for "deteriorating services" in the state. AT&T, which has about 290,000 employees, has told workers that there will be 2,500 layoffs nationwide including at least 75 workers in Connecticut, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said in an statement, citing plans to layoff engineers and technicians responsible for maintaining network services. Stun-gun maker Taser blogs to beat bad buzz BANGALORE - When the 49ers were battling the Cardinals in a National Football League game earlier this year, a Facebook update by stun gun maker Taser <TASR.O> proclaimed that the San Francisco-based team's "Taser formation" could be the tipping factor. The company, whose main product is a lightning rod for criticism, is increasingly using blogs and social networks to promote new products and dispel anxieties about them. Best Buy to sell iRex e-reader this month NEW YORK - U.S. electronics retailer Best Buy Co <BBY.N> plans to sell an iRex Technologies e-reader that links to the Barnes & Noble <BKS.N> digital bookstore, the companies said on Wednesday. The device from iRex, a spin-off of Royal Philips Electronics <PHG.AS> <PHG.N>, will have an 8.1-inch touchscreen and will sell for $399 when it goes on sale at Best Buy later this month under the iRex DR800SG brand.
