Vodafone has announced to make a bid for Cable & Wireless Worldwide (CWW), which is the telecom and broadband networking company providing services to corporate customers.
"Vodafone regularly reviews opportunities in the sector and confirms that it is in the very early stages of evaluating the merits of a potential offer for CWW," the company said in a statement. "There is no certainty that an offer will be made nor as to the terms on which any offer might be made. Any offer, if made, will be in cash but Vodafone reserves the right to change the specie of consideration."
Vodafone would offer 700 million pounds to the Cable & Wireless (C&W). However, the company's firm intentions will be announced by March 12.

Dot Hill has announced better performance of virtual server systems through VMware vStorage APIs
Dot Hill Systems Corp, a leader in providing SAN storage solutions, has announced on Monday, February 13, the inclusion of VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) support and Site Recovery Manager (SRM) support in the latest version of firmware for AssuredSAN 3000 storage systems.
SRM is utilized for more protection of data and enhanced recovery of data in the disaster situations. Moreover, SRM integration with array-based replication helps in maintaining the replicas of virtual machines on multiple sites.
"While users appreciate that they can free up server and IO resources to support virtualized production workloads by moving IO-intensive processes from their ESX hosts to their storage arrays, the actual level of benefit they'll realize from VAAI will to a large degree depend on the underlying storage. Flexible, scalable, high performance storage systems with VAAI integration will logically allow customers to gain more efficiencies, increase consolidation, and therefore reap greater returns on their VMware investments," states Mark Peters, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group.
The new firmware will be available within one month.

Radiation may not help to prolong life of lung cancer patients
Researchers have found that the radiation therapy after surgery of lung cancer may not help in prolonging the life of patients of lung cancer.
Researchers have worked on more than 1300 older cancer patients of lung in which 710 patients received radiation therapy. They have found that the radiation is less likely to increase the life of patients.
According to researchers, the physicians must not always use radiation to stop recurrence of lung cancer.

Greece has passed austerity deal affecting oil prices
Greece austerity deal approval has come with a surge in oil prices in Asia. That surge is above $99 on Monday.
Greece has passed that deal in order to get security of bailout and protection from bankruptcy as Greece has to meet 14.5 billion euros of debt repayments before March 20.
Brent crude increased by 85 cents and went to $117.60/barrel in on the ICE Futures Exchange in London. Benchmark crude also went up by 58 cents and went at $99.25/barrel at midmorning Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
“The problem is that gasoline prices have recently jumped and this appears to have more than offset the positive developments,” Capital Economics said in a report.
“To be bullish from here, one would need to believe a supply disruption is coming,” Morgan Stanley said in a report. “With fundamentals weakening, we believe that any further upside is unlikely without a supply shock.”

Apple has reported these violations for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (smartphone) that is the first phone using Google's latest version of Android i.e. Ice Cream Sandwich. The company has said that these features are expected by the people in Apple's products.
"Google cannot deny its undivided responsibility for
any infringement findings. A preliminary injunction would not prohibit the sale
of a Galaxy nexus just because it's called Galaxy Nexus or looks like one: it's
all about which patents it infringes on," said
independent patent expert Florian
Meuller.
"I am absolutely certain that...for the preliminary
injunction motion the Galaxy Nexus was singled out because it's so new, and
important."
"We continue to assert our intellectual property rights
and defend against Apple's claims to ensure our continued innovation and growth
in the mobile communications business," Samsung said in a statement.
