Canada's Research In Motion (RIM), maker of the BlackBerry, plans to introduce a tablet computer next November to compete with Apple's iPad, Bloomberg has reported, citing two people familiar with RIM's plans. The device will have roughly the same dimensions as the iPad, which has a 9.7-inch diagonal screen, and will feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology that will allow people to connect to the internet through their BlackBerry smartphones, the sources said.
When readers ask me how Dr. Kent Moors could be up nearly 60% on a portfolio that he only launched July 6, I don't give them an answer.
I tell them a story.
When the BP PLC (PLC/a>) (NYSE ADR: BP) CEO-replacement saga began to unfold earlier this week, and the Money Morning news team was working the story, I contacted Dr. Moors to ask him if he knew anything about anointed successor Robert Dudley.
With that response, Dr. Moors underscored, yet again, why he's the ultimate energy-sector insider: He doesn't just know about Dudley - he actually knows him.

So guess what Microsoft thinks of Yahoo Japan’s decision to swap it out for Google as main search partner?
Yeah, not too happy about it. And it’s going to do all that it can to thwart the deal. “We plan to present evidence to the Japanese FTC explaining why we believe that this deal is substantially more harmful to competition than Google’s deal with Yahoo in 2008 that the DOJ found to be illegal,” the company said in a statement issued Friday afternoon.
Not all that surprising given the situation and Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith’s lambasting of the deal last week. “This agreement is even more anti-competitive than Google’s deal with
PARIS: A consortium led by Hong Kong's richest man Li Ka-shing has made a US$9 billion (US$1 = RM3.19) "irrevocable" offer to take over the British power distribution network of French electricity giant EDF, the French company said yesterday.
If completed, the deal would be the biggest by a Hong Kong entity in Britain.
EDF Energy, the largest electricity supplier in Britain, is owned by EDF, the state-controlled French giant which said in October it had put its three distribution grids up for sale as it tries to reduce debt. EDF group is Europe's biggest electricity producer.
The Hong Kong consortium beat rival offers from a British energy firm and Canadian-Australian-Abu Dhabi consortium, a source close to the deal was quoted as saying by the Dow Jones news wire.

The U.S. government's deepwater oil drilling ban, which resulted from the BP PLC (PLC/a>) (NYSE ADR: BP) Gulf oil spill, prompted some readers to question how far U.S. authority reaches regarding offshore business, and what kind of international repercussions could result.
Q: Where do international waters begin for the Gulf of Mexico? I read somewhere if we didn't drill for oil in the Gulf that China was going to do so. When you are talking international business, does U.S. President Barack Obama have the authority to shut it all down?
Speed kills. And in the fast food industry, it's imperative.
The speed of service and the ability to quickly adapt menus, packaging and advertising are what makes a market leader. And right now, the speed at which fast food companies make the transition into foreign markets, particularly China, is what matters most of all.
The industry's two biggest players, McDonald's Corp. (NYSE: MCD) and Yum! Brands Inc. (NYSE: YUM) - the parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell - know that.
When U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, last week disclosed that the so-called "cap-and-trade' energy proposal that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last year would not be taken up by the Senate, climate-bill proponents were deeply dismayed.
Indeed, Financial Times columnist Clive Crook even said that the United States "has let the world down on climate."
But here's the irony. With the Senate's refusal, we may just have moved a step closer to a climate change policy that will actually work. And that's good news for U.S. taxpayers. And it opens new doors for U.S. investors.
