A new Front... EU warns Microsoft over server software market BRUSSELS, Aug 3 (Reuters) - The European Union has sent a formal legal warning to Microsoft Corp (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) for allegedly using its power to gain an edge in the market for server software, EU officials said on Thursday. The U.S. software giant has two months to reply to the European Commission's allegations. If it fails to satisfy its concerns, the Commission could levy a fine of up to 10 percent of the company's worldwide revenues, although such a large fine has never in practice been imposed.... biz.yahoo.com

Fine, thanks. KLIC off to $15 now. The misery at the semiconductors is spreading: AMKR off to 21 after reporting results that beat estimates. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>< --4:32 pm - By Barbara C. Costanza After the market closed, Amkor Technology (AMKR: news, msgs) reported second-quarter earnings of $51 million, or 33 cents a share, compared with $16 million, or 13 cents a share. Analysts expected a profit of 31 cents a share. Revenue totaled $547 million, up 22 percent compared with $450 million in the year-ago period. Gross margin for the quarter rose to 23 percent from 20 percent in the year-ago period. The company noted its effective tax rate decreased to 15 percent, due to higher levels of profitability in entities that are subject to tax holidays. The company expects its tax rate to remain in the 15 to 17 percent range in the third and fourth quarter of 2000. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I circle in Triquint as one with additional downside potential (although it is off some its high water mark after reporting).

Numbers are off by nuances: Friday August 4 2:23 AM ET Nuance Corrects Statement, Changes Net MENLO PARK, Calif. (Reuters) - Newly public-listed software maker Nuance Communications Inc. (NasdaqNM:NUAN - news) on Friday corrected quarterly results released almost two weeks ago, changing its net loss to a proforma loss and disclosing a new net figure. The new net loss for Nuance's second quarter was two cents wider than the figure erroneously labeled as net loss when the results were first announced. Nuance said the change to its results, originally released on July 25, did not affect reported revenue or net loss and does not involve any restatement of results. The company, whose voice integration software is used to make Internet information accessible via the telephone, said it was changing the caption heading on a line to insert ``Pro forma'' to the item labeled ``Basic and diluted net loss per share.'' That correction makes Nuance's loss for the quarter a proforma 20 cents per share. The proforma loss for the first six months of the year was 49 cents per share. Nuance said on Friday its basic and diluted net loss for the quarter was 22 cents per share, a figure that did not appear in the earlier press release or on that statement's accompanying table. The net loss for the first half of the year was 87 cents, a number that also did not appear. Company officials could not be reached for comment. Proforma basic and diluted net loss per share is the company's net loss divided by the weighted average of all shares, both common and preferred. Net loss per share is the company's net loss divided only by the weighted average of common stock, Nuance said. Shares of Nuance gained 22-7/16 on Thursday to a new closing high of 160-15/16 as the technology-heavy Nasdaq market shot broadly higher. __________________________________________ dailynews.yahoo.com I'm cautiously taking a position .... if not discounted by $100
