Analysts Optimistic on Windows Phone Growth
With plenty of motivation and enthusiasm, an armload of new devices and 4G networks waiting to connect them, Microsoft and Nokia could gain some traction this year with the updated Windows Phone 7 platform.That seems to be the bullish view of Morgan Stanley, which predicts some 37 million Nokia Windows phones will be shipped this year. Figures from 2011 aren't in yet, but Windows has ranked near the bottom in smartphone operating system market share analyses. Gartner estimated a 1.5 percent share for the third quarter, with about 1.7 million units powered by Windows shipped.
Shipments Rising Fast Google's Android powered 52 percent of devices shipped during that quarter, with more than 60 million units.
But Morgan Stanley sees a huge increase for Nokia's Windows phone output in 2013, with a rise from 37 million to 64 million, the firm told The Wall Street Journal's All Things D blog. Factor in a projected 6 million HTC Windows phones this year, with another 10 million next year, and the numbers total 43 million Windows phones this year and 74 million next year.
Of course, that pales in comparison to the financial firm's estimate of 190 million iPhones for Apple next year alone.
Microsoft and Nokia, which is now headed by former Microsoft exec Stephen Elop, last year signed an agreement believed to be worth $1 billion to add Windows Phone 7 to the Finnish handset maker's devices, in a move to boost sales for both companies. They are expected to invest $20 million to market the new phones, including the Lumia 900 unveiled Tuesday at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Lumia 900 runs on AT&T's new long-term evolution high-speed data network.
But Nokia isn't completely giving up its own Symbian operating system for smartphones. Morgan Stanley projects that Nokia will ship 40 million...

A diet rich in slowly digested carbs reduces markers of inflammation in overweight and obese adults
Among overweight and obese adults, a diet rich in slowly digested carbohydrates, such as whole grains, legumes and other high-fiber foods, significantly reduces markers of inflammation associated with chronic disease, according to a new study by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Such a "low-glycemic-load" diet, which does not cause blood-glucose levels to spike, also increases a hormone that helps regulate the metabolism of fat and sugar. These findings are published online ahead of the February print issue of the Journal of Nutrition. -

23:24A few short decades ago, few could have imagined that the world would be seriously concerned over something called dysprosium. Also known as number 66 on the periodic table, dysprosium was once just another element for chemistry students to memorize but is now one of the most sought-after and critically needed materials on the planet.

23:24Since 2000, the three Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS I, II, III) have surveyed well over a quarter of the night sky and produced the biggest color map of the universe in three dimensions ever. Now scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and their SDSS colleagues, working with DOE's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) based at Berkeley Lab, have used this visual information for the most accurate calculation yet of how matter clumps together – from a time when the universe was only half its present age until now.

23:24Chemical engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, using a catalytic fast pyrolysis process that transforms renewable non-food biomass into petrochemicals, have developed a new catalyst that boosts the yield for five key "building blocks of the chemical industry" by 40 percent compared to previous methods. This sustainable production process, which holds the promise of being competitive and compatible with the current petroleum refinery infrastructure, has been tested and proven in a laboratory reactor, using wood as the feedstock, the research team says.

23:24Investigators at the National Institutes of Health have identified a genetic mutation in three unrelated families that causes a rare immune disorder characterized by excessive and impaired immune function. Symptoms of this condition include immune deficiency, autoimmunity, inflammatory skin disorders and cold-induced hives, a condition known as cold urticaria.

23:24Because healthy enrollees cost them less, Medicare Advantage plans would profit from selecting seniors based on their health, but Medicare strictly forbids practices such as denying coverage based on existing conditions. Another way to build a more profitable membership is to design insurance benefits that attract the healthiest patients. In a study published in the Jan. 12, 2012, edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, Brown University researchers report that plans have managed to do just that by offering fitness club memberships as a covered benefit.

23:24NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has looked deep into the distant universe and detected the feeble glow of a star that exploded more than 9 billion years ago. The sighting is the first finding of an ambitious survey that will help astronomers place better constraints on the nature of dark energy, the mysterious repulsive force that is causing the universe to fly apart ever faster.

23:24Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a ubiquitin like protein, is highly elevated in a variety of cancers including breast cancer. How the elevated ISG15 pathway contributes to tumorigenic phenotypes remains unclear and is the subject of a study published in the January 2012 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.

23:24LSU's Chris Austin recently discovered two new species of frogs in New Guinea, one of which is now the world's tiniest known vertebrate, averaging only 7.7 millimeters in size – less than one-third of an inch. It ousts Paedocypris progenetica, an Indonesian fish averaging more than 8 millimeters, from the record. Austin, leading a team of scientists from the United States including LSU graduate student Eric Rittmeyer, made the discovery during a three-month long expedition to the island of New Guinea, the world's largest and tallest tropical island.
