The barge is actually a "technology exhibition space," that Google will move between several piers in the San Francisco Bay area and other West coast locations over the next two years, according to a 36-page information packet submitted in August to the Port of San Francisco. an experience unlike any other that celebrates community, local organizations and the history of San Francisco," reads the document, which lists the project as being spearheaded by By and Large LLC. The floating structure built of stacked shipping containers, and a twin vessel in Portland, Maine, have stirred intense speculation about their purpose ever since reports of their existence surfaced last month. Google has gone to great lengths to keep the details of the barges secret, requiring at least one U.S. Coast Guard employee to sign a non-disclosure agreement. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/google-mystery-barge-artistic-high-tech-exhibition-venue-000223217–sector.html Sat, 09 Nov 2013 00:02:23 +0000Reutersgoogle-mystery-barge-artistic-high-tech-exhibition-venue-000223217–sector<a href="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/google-mystery-barge-artistic-high-tech-exhibition-venue-000223217–sector.html"><img src="http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/TiS6hpckrlR2oGt74QroGg–/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTg2O3E9NzU7dz0xMzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Reuters/2013-11-09T000223Z_1_CBRE9A8004200_RTROPTP_2_GOOGLE-MYSTERY.JPG" width="130″ height="86″ alt="Mysterious structure built on floating barge is seen in San Francisco Bay" align="left" title="Mysterious structure built on floating barge is seen in San Francisco Bay" border="0″ /></a>By Alexei Oreskovic SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Able-bodied seamen, decorative sails meant to evoke fish fins and dozens of security cameras will eventually make up the on-board complement of a mysterious four-story barge being built by Internet company Google Inc.

Telefonica, which is one of Europe's most heavily indebted major companies, said it had met its target to cut debt below 47 billion euros ($ 62.9 billion) by the end of the year, three months early. Scaled-down operations as a result of the sale of non-core assets in Europe and Latin America to help meet that target were another reason for falling revenue. Telefonica on Thursday backed an overhaul of Telecom Italia's finances in a bid to reverse years of sliding growth at the Italian group and eventually recoup some of the 1.6 billion euros in writedowns it has taken on its investment. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/telefonica-profit-drop-overshadows-debt-reduction-125503723–finance.html Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:41:45 +0000Reuterstelefonica-profit-drop-overshadows-debt-reduction-125503723–finance<a href="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/telefonica-profit-drop-overshadows-debt-reduction-125503723–finance.html"><img src="http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/pI4_HP050yctI9cplPu3Og–/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTg2O3E9NzU7dz0xMzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Reuters/2013-11-08T125503Z_1_CBRE9A70ZVU00_RTROPTP_2_TELEFONICA-SPAIN.JPG" width="130″ height="86″ alt="A man speaks by a mobile next to Telefonica's tower in Barcelona" align="left" title="A man speaks by a mobile next to Telefonica's tower in Barcelona" border="0″ /></a>By Julien Toyer MADRID (Reuters) – Spanish telecom group Telefonica on Friday posted a sharp drop in nine-months earnings, overshadowing its progress on cutting debt and efforts to revive a loss-making investment in Telecom Italia.

Lenovo said on Thursday net profit beat estimates, jumping over a third in July-September to a quarterly record of $ 219.7 million (136.7 million pounds). Now the world's fourth-biggest smartphone maker, the company also said it's looking for new businesses to buy as it remoulds itself. The progress at Lenovo, with a 17.7 percent share of worldwide PC shipments according to research firm IDC, is in sharp contrast with that of other PC makers like Acer Incorporated. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/lenovo-profit-leaps-extends-shift-smartphones-servers-071455538–finance.html Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:35:16 +0000Reuterslenovo-profit-leaps-extends-shift-smartphones-servers-071455538–finance<a href="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/lenovo-profit-leaps-extends-shift-smartphones-servers-071455538–finance.html"><img src="http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/0gS1ltxNkS1hP.PXRWSjxQ–/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTg2O3E9NzU7dz0xMzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/Reuters/2013-11-07T071455Z_1_CBRE9A60K4X00_RTROPTP_2_BLACKBERRY-LENOVO.JPG" width="130″ height="86″ alt="People walk past a Lenovo shop in Hefei, Anhui province" align="left" title="People walk past a Lenovo shop in Hefei, Anhui province" border="0″ /></a>By Paul Carsten BEIJING (Reuters) – China's Lenovo Group Ltd, the world's biggest personal computer maker, is reinventing itself as a growing force in mobile devices and data storage servers to beat the slump in the PC market that is crippling less agile rivals.

But publisher Immediate Media realises that the rise in digital platforms will more than likely eat away at those figures in time, so has released an iPad TV listings guide that it hopes will sate the needs of the more tech-centric generation. Radio Times DiscoverTV offers 14-day customised TV and radio listings, but it also does much more than that. The brand dabbled with an iPad version of its Christmas TV guide last year, but the new app is cut from a different cloth. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/radio-times-discovertv-ipad-hits-uk-listings-recommedations-114500662.html Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:45:00 +0000Pocket-lintradio-times-discovertv-ipad-hits-uk-listings-reco
