SAN FRANCISCO - Barnes & Noble Inc <BKS.N> said on Sunday it would delay shipments of its newly launched Nook electronic reader to stores as the company strives to deliver preordered devices to consumers before the holidays. "We expect to have them in our highest-volume stores on December 7th and in a very limited number," Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating told Reuters.

Nokia-Siemens CEO says focus on market share: report
HELSINKI - Ailing telecom equipment maker Nokia Siemens Networks <NSN.UL> has changed its business focus to increasing its market share, the new chief executive of the venture was quoted as saying on Sunday.

SEOUL - Samsung Electronics <005930.KS>, the world's No. 2 mobile phone maker, gave an upbeat forecast for 2009 mobile phone sales due to sharp growth in touchscreen models, but surging sales may not guarantee higher margins.

Cloud computing goes green underground in Finland
HELSINKI - In the chill of a massive cave beneath an orthodox Christian cathedral, a city power firm is preparing what it thinks will be the greenest data center on the planet.
