Wall Street Beat: Bad News Rolls in for Tech

Posted by PCWorld
With market forecasts looking dour and companies including Nokia and Texas Instruments trimming expectations this week, concerns for the tech sector are mounting.
The causes for anxiety are the usual culprits, including weak growth in Europe and Asia and the possibility that debt-laden Greece or Spain may leave the euro zone.
IDC's latest Worldwide Software Market Forecaster, released Thursday, offered a disappointing analysis for software, which is usually considered to be a bright spot for tech. While 2011 delivered nearly double-digit growth in the worldwide software market, the highest growth rate since the 2008 implosion of the banking sector, the future looks bleaker, IDC said.

Posted by TechCrunch
Top European VC firm Balderton today has confirmed to TechCrunch that it is ditching a 13 percent stake in Finnish social networking and virtual world company Sulake, creators of Habbo, after the youth-oriented site was exposed for hosting illicit content not appropriate for its intended users.

His previous startup, Jigsaw, let users (mostly marketers and recruiters) share data about business contacts they had in exchange for business contacts they needed.

How’s this for cool? T-Mobile is connecting ice machines

Posted by Gigaom
T-Mobile will soon have nearly 1 million new wireless connections on its network, but they won?t be smartphones. �T-Mobile is linking its 2G network to hundreds of thousands of ice machines ? that?s right, I?m talking about those refrigerated boxes outside of grocery stores and gas stations containing bagged ice.
Raco Wireless, T-Mobile?s machine-to-machine communications outsourcer, is working with an ice machine vendor to connect hundreds of thousands of these machines across the country, Raco President John Horn told me at the Connected World conference this week. He wouldn?t reveal the company, nor the timing. Horn would only say that the whole business of selling bagged ice in this coun[...]
