Sun stops shining on E Ink Holdings: company reports first loss in two years

Sun stops shining on E Ink Holdings: company reports first loss in two years

E Ink Holdings made a loss of over $25 million last quarter, despite supplying its backlight-free panels to popular e-readers like the Kindle and the Nook. Why the poor showing after ten quarters of solid money-making? The company's accountants blame "off-season effects" and "inventory adjustments" by customers, which may simply be corporatese for "the screens aren't selling so well." Overall revenue tumbled 63 percent compared to the same period in 2011 and the outlook remains "conservative" -- although it's hard to believe that everyone suddenly wants to stay indoors and stare at pixels.

Meghan McCain Rips Greta Van Susteren For Lindsay Lohan White House Dinner Invite


Meghan McCain is bashing Fox News' Greta Van Susteren on Twitter for inviting Lindsay Lohan to this weekend's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

Not just for the sake of hating on Lohan, a la Rosie O'Donnell.

“Let me get this straight,” Meghan McCain, 27, tweeted. “Greta Van Susteren is bringing Lindsay Lohan to the WHC Dinner but has a moral offense to Louie C.K?”

In March, Van Susteren called for a boycott of the Radio/TV Correspondence Dinner over comedian C.K.'s past controversial statements about women.

"The headliner of this year’s Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner is “comedian” Louis C.K. Comedian? I don’t think so. Pig? yes," she wrote.

"He uses filthy language about women. Yes, the C word…and yes, even to describe a woman candidate for Vice President of the United States. It isn’t just Governor Palin he denigrates. He denigrates all women and looks to the crowd to laugh."

Apparently Megs isn't offended ... except by Greta. The daughter of U.S. Sen. John McCain may not be crazy about Lindsay attending, but she's still going.

The Republican blogger, columnist and author Tweeted that she's "headed to DC for the nerd prom." Just hope they don't seat her with Greta or LiLo.

Amazon CFO Dodges Questions On Antitrust, Patents, Kindle Plans

amazon logoAmazon just wrapped up its earnings call for the first quarter fo the year, and the most common phrase may have been, "I probably can't help you." To be fair, earnings calls are always a dance, where analysts try to pry more financial details and future plans out of executives, while executives don't want to give anything away. But today's call felt like a particularly egregious example ? anytime anything interesting was asked, CFO Tom Szkutak would say he couldn't help, then maybe offer an extremely vague answer.

Adam Levine Responds to "Aggressive" Jennifer Love Hewitt


Adam Levine appeared on Ellen yesterday and the host wasted little time getting to the important issues with The Voice judge.

"Let's talk about the women that love you," DeGeneres said to cheers from the audience, specifically referring to Jennifer Love Hewitt's recent appearance on the show when she made it clear she'd be open to dating/doing Levine.

Is the artist, who recently split from Anne Vyalitsyna, interested?

"That was aggressive," Levine said, politely declining.  "It was really sweet and flattering. Beautiful life, you know, when a beautiful woman says nice things about you."

Note to Adam: Have you seen Jennifer Love Hewitt's breasts? You might want to reconsider.
