LCD TVs keep flying off shelves Worldwide shipments of LCD (liquid crystal display) televisions surged to 1.3 million units in the fourth quarter of 2003, up 23 percent from the third quarter, according to research released Thursday from iSuppli/Stanford Resources. The market research firm said plasma TV shipments rose 5 percent quarter over quarter to 358,449 units, and overall TV set shipments hit 44.7 million units, up 12 percent from the third quarter. Most televisions shipped in the quarter were traditional CRT (cathode-ray tube) models. The flat-panel TV market--made up of LCD and plasma televisions--will continue to grow in the first quarter because of increased availability, declining prices and consumer interest, iSuppli/Stanford Resources said. PC companies such as Gateway have begun selling flat-panel televisions. Demand for LCD televisions contributed to a supply crunch last year for LCD panels, which also are used in desktop monitors and notebook screens. That shortage is expected to ease up. news.com.com

glad to see you agree with me on JNPR! LOL (I know you were replying to other posts of mine). I think Anindo also likes JNPR. Scott Kreins former company stratacom basically became the core cisco product. I think netscreen is like that, a company that merges with a networker to make the sum greater than the parts. As far as globalization, Carly Fiorina is great for self righteous quips. According to her, "US workers have to compete for jobs". She makes no mention of the fact that workers are taxed at 40%+ in the US which pays for our trickle down economic policies that Carly benefits from. How about we make US corps compete for the tax base and cut 100% of payroll taxes like it is when HP hires indian employees. Its the free market after all.

Hi bob, Re: that's not to say that protection is a good thing. it's not and if we swing too far that way it will hurt all of us. I'm beginning to think it is time for all of us to revisit our Adam Smith, Ricardo and Schumpeterian neo-liberalism and begin to deal with reality. And I think that Herb Stein, Richard Nixon's Secretary of the Treasury, very neatly anticipated today's trade imbalances when he said "things that can't go on forever, don't." Here's something that ought to be engraved on Treasury Secretary John Snow's forehead (and on the CEA's Mankiw's, as well): U.S. Trade Deficit: 1990 -111,033 1991 -76,937 1992 -96,898 1993 -132,451 1994 -165,830 1995 -174,170 1996 -191,000 1997 -198,120 1998 -246,696 1999 -346,023 2000 -452,423 2001 -427,215 2002 -482,872 2003 -549,156 Source: Message 19969055 I think it's time for us to reconsider "free trade" and globalization. Unless the normal progression from unsustainable debt leading to bankruptcy doesn't apply to the U.S. *** Re: i agree with lizzie on this. the wsj has become a house organ for the republican party. Or have both the WSJ and the Republican Party become wholly owned subsidiaries of the largest corporations?
