Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Ken Nail Hit the road with cool smartphone integration JVC's KW-AV71BT DVD receiver keeps your smartphone in the loop when you're on the road, with some nifty app integration, controlled from the detachable 7" motorized touchscreen. With your iPhone® connected via JVC's KS-U30 cable (plus an additional adapter for iPhone 5), you'll get basic control over audio apps like Mog and Tunein Radio, including functions like play/pause or track up/down. You can also view traffic info from Inrix, Cobra iRadar, and other driving apps with an iPhone 4 or 4S. For powerful navigation, download the MotionX-GPS Drive app (subscription required) and you'll be able to see maps and live traffic reports on the receiver's screen. You'll still need to access your iPhone with this app, so consider adding an iPhone mount for easy use. Bluetooth adds safety and more features With the KW-AV71BT's built-in Bluetooth and a compatible phone, you'll never have to worry about fumbling around in your purse or pocket when a call comes in. Just touch the screen and carry on your conversation while keeping your eyes on the road. Bluetooth opens up more listening opportunities too. You can stream any audio content from your phone to the receiver wirelessly, and even control basic functions of some music apps. Pandora® with iPhone JVC lets you enjoy your favorite Pandora stations on the road. You'll have touchscreen control right in your dash with your iPhone plugged in, and you can do the same with your Android or Blackberry phone through the Bluetooth connection. If you prefer the music you've stored on your iPod®, iPhone, or USB drive, just plug into the USB input, and you can tap your way through all your tunes and playlists on this JVC's responsive touchscreen. Video on the go Use the rear audio/video inputs to hook up your favorite portable audio player, a camcorder, or another video source. This receiver boasts a video output to send movies to a rear video screen, so your passengers will stay happy during the longest road trips. If you've got a big vehicle, you'll appreciate the input for a rear-view camera — helpful for when you're maneuvering your vehicle in tight spaces. Want to keep your steering wheel controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this JVC stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the JVC, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Don't hesitate on this one, excellent unit! All functions were well thought out, very intuitive and a lot of fun to use. I never get tired of messing around with it! I have no regrets buying this unit. Pros: Intuitive, excellent sound, easy to use and a lot of fun! Cons: none that I found so far! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very pleased!!! Written By 2003 Toyota Seqoia, KY on Wednesday, October 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Could have got this cheaper from other places, but the service, and support I recieved was outstanding when trying to install the radio. I called the places I found it cheaper, but those people would either put me on hold, or had no clue about the product. Crutchfield had an answer for every question I had. The one thing i wish I would have known about when I purchased the radio, would be the adapter for the steering wheel controls. I didn't know I was going to need an adapter. Bluetooth works great with my Iphone 4s, able to play dvd in front and rear with one unit which was a plus for me, and if I didn't want to watch what people are watching in the back I can with the dual zones. My speakers seem to be putting out stronger, and I love that I don't have to hook up my phone to an auxilary chord to play pandora, or my I Tunes. I have only had it for a short time, but I can't be anymore happy about the product. Pros: Bluetooth works great Made my speakers louder Dual Zone for entertainment Easy to use- Still need to figure out the apps Fit great in my dash Display can be changed, and looks great. Cons: Priced higher than most places. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sounds great! Written By Anonymous, Montana on Friday, June 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Installed in 2011 Avalanche. Sounds great with factory Bose amp and speakers. Utilizes entire double din slot for a decent movie experience. Very intuitive design. Cool that you can choose your own background. Pros: Looks good, sounds good, lots of features, easy to use, detachable faceplate is nice feature for extreme temps. Cons: If I didn't have steering wheel controls, I wouldn't like having a touchscreen. Touchscreen buttons are big, but hard to press while driving. Wish the remote came with it, especially for the price. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software update is available. Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KW-AV71BT utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The KW-AV71BT is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the KW-AV71BT are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KW-AV71BT are as follows: CEA2006 Specs: 20 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (200 total watts) Amplifier Gain Control: When you are using the KW-AV71BT with factory speakers (or those rated to less than 50 watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power being sent to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to low, the volume control ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers rated higher than 50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to high, and the volume control will range from 0 to 50. The internal amp can also be turned off when all the speakers are powered by outboard amplifiers. 5ch/4V Preamp Outputs: The KW-AV71BT is equipped with 5ch/4.0V preamp outputs (Front, Rear, Subwoofer). The front and rear preamp outputs allow fader control, while the subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. Subwoofer Level: You can adjust the KW-AV71BT's subwoofer level (-50 to +10) independently from the head unit's main volume control for added bass volume. Built-in Crossovers: The JVC KW-AV71BT features a built-in high-pass filter for the unit's front & rear speakers, and a low-pass filter for the unit's subwoofer output. High-Pass Filter: You can activate a variable high-pass filter (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 220 Hz or Through) for the unit's front & rear channels (speaker- or preamp-level), so low frequency signals are cut off from your system's front & rear speakers. The front & rear channel's high-pass filters can be set independently of one another. Low-Pass Filter: The unit's subwoofer preamp output features a low-pass filter. In order to prevent high-frequencies from being sent to your system's subwoofers, you can set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter to 50, 60, 80, 100, 120 Hz or Through. Speaker Select: You can select which type & size of speaker you have connected to the head unit. Choose from Standard (OEM/Factory), Narrow (4"/5"), Middle (6"/5x7"/6x8"), Wide (6x9"). Pro EQ: The KW-AV71BT is equipped with JVC's Pro EQ. The integrated equalizer offers 8 preset sound modes (Flat, Natural, Dynamic, Vocal Boost, Bass Boost, Vibrant, and User) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The User mode allows you to manually adjust the head unit's 3-band parametric EQ (Frequency, Level, and Q-Factor). Tone Frequency Level Q Bass 60, 80, 100, 150 Hz +/- 10 dB (-5 to +5) 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0 Midrange 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 kHz +/- 10 dB (-5 to +5) 1.0, 2.0 Treble 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 kHz +/- 10 dB (-5 to +5) Fixed Note: The audio adjustments are memorized for each individual source until you adjust the sound again. Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can set the Loudness to On or Off. Dynamic Range Compression: This function reduces a Dolby Digital soundtrack's dynamic range so you can hear quieter dialog without being overwhelmed by loud sections. You can choose a setting of On (reduced dynamic range), Dialogue (clearer movie dialogue), or Off (full dynamic range). Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than FM) is adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant volume difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable from -15 to +6. Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. AV Connections Audio/Video Input: The rear-panel audio/video input consists of left and right RCA audio jacks and an RCA composite video jack, allowing you to connect external equipment to this head unit. The audio/video input can be set to one of the following modes: AV IN: Choose when connecting an A/V component like a game system. iPod Video: Select when connecting your iPod using the optional USB/Video cable (105KSU30, sold separately). Camera In: The rear-panel Camera input consists of a composite video connector which allows you to connect an optional rear-view camera (105KVCM20, sold separately). The unit features a reverse gear signal wire, that when connected to your vehicle's reverse light circuit, will automatically switch the KW-AV71BT's display to the rear-view camera input. Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.2 seconds. Audio from your music source will continue playing, while the back-up camera is displayed. A/V Output (with Dual Zone): The unit features a rear-panel composite video jack and 3.5mm audio jack to output A/V signals to an optional monitor and headphone system in the rear of your vehicle. You can select Disc, SD, USB, or iPod as the rear-panel source; or your can simply have the rear AV output mirror the head unit's selected front source. The volume of the A/V output will be controlled by your rear entertainment system. You can select between a 16:9, 4:3 LB, or 4:3 PS Aspect Ratio for the unit's video output to match your connected monitor. Note: With Disc, SD-card, USB, or iPod selected as your front source; you can only select AV-IN, AV Off, or the source playing in the front as your vehicle's rear source. Remote Control Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.

Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber showed their champion qualities on Sunday morning when they locked out the front row of the grid for the Rolex Australian Grand Prix – just as they did in 2010.
Seventeen and a half hours after it began on a rain-hit and windswept Saturday, the normal hour of qualifying was finally completed with defending triple World Champion Vettel on pole for the 37th time in his career.
"It was not at all easy in those conditions," said Vettel. "It was quite difficult to find the limit and in the end I was pretty happy with my best lap and eased off to save the tyres."
Local favourite Webber, who was among the fastest men on track on a cold but generally dry morning, joined him on the front row with his best lap in the final seconds of the top-ten shootout.
Briton Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion, took third place for his new Mercedes team ahead of Brazilian Felipe Massa and his Ferrari team-mate, two-time champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso.
Hamilton's Mercedes team-mate German Nico Rosberg was sixth and the two Lotus drivers Finn Kimi Raikkonen and Frenchman Romain Grosjean were seventh and eighth.
Two more Britons, Paul Di Resta of Force India and 2009 champion Jenson Button of McLaren, winner of last year's race here and three of the last four in Melbourne, completed the top ten.
For Button, it was a sign of how his team appear to have lost their form after ending last season on a high. His new team-mate, Mexican Sergio Perez, who replaced the departed Hamilton, was the major casualty of Q2 earlier when he failed to make the cut for the final shootout and he will start Sunday's 58-laps race from 15th on the grid.
Australia's Dan Ricciardo also missed out on a top 10 start, his Toro Rosso Ferrari eliminated after finishing 14th in Q2.

Amy Eisenfeld Genser Recreates the Beauty of Underwater Reefs in Paper
Appearing as a coral reef viewed from above, Amy Eisenfeld Genser creates large-scale works that combine sculpture and painting. Some of her pieces can be several feet wide, containing hundreds of paper coils. She became involved in paper-quilling during graduate school at the Rhode Island School of Design. Treating her compositions like puzzles, she uses the strips of paper to imitate the patterns of the natural world. Each piece of paper is cut, rolled, and glued to the canvas with PVA which has previously been painted with acrylic or gel medium.
Genser says of her compositions: "The sources of my work are textures, patterns, and grids. I look for forms that can be repeated to create a pattern when they are joined. My work tries to capture the essence of an experience or an image I have seen. I often look to the natural world for inspiration. I am fascinated by the flow of water, the organization of beehives, and the organic irregularity of plants, flowers, rock formations, barnacles, moss, and seaweed. Aerial views of our landscape can also be compelling; it is interesting how the organization of our landscape becomes quilt-like when viewed from above."
Her work can be seen at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show taking place from March 21-24 in New York City.

Marine Engineering
Professors Wiggins, Gallagher, and Werner
This division includes those courses that pertain directly to marine machinery. The sequence begins with an introductory survey of propulsion and auxiliary systems. In the following years, detailed studies of machinery and systems are undertaken, including design aspects of steam generators, steam and gas turbines, diesel engines, heat exchangers, power transmission systems, main engine support systems, piping systems, HVAC systems, and control systems. The concepts of system integration, configuration management, and rational evaluation of alternative approaches are stressed.
The sequence culminates in a project in which the students prepare an outline proposal for a complete power plant for a specific application and undertake an investigation of its economic merit in comparison with a group of likely alternatives.
Freshman Year
This course presents the fundamentals of marine propulsion systems in which the overall needs of ship board powering are described, followed by a detailed discussion of steam, diesel, gas-turbine, and nuclear-powered prime movers. Students gain an understanding of the components and their function in each of these types of propulsion. A lab component of the course requires the students, in small groups, to run a steam plant in the marine engineering lab and to disassemble and reassemble a small diesel engine. The course begins the marine engineering program and provides background to students for their sophomore sea term. Two hours per week in the second semester.
Sophomore Year
This course builds on the Introduction to Marine Engineering Systems course and presents the fundamentals of auxiliary shipboard systems and components. Auxiliary systems presented include fuel, compressed air, bilge and ballast, cooling water, sanitary and sewage, HVAC and refrigeration, and electrical. Components discussed include pumps, compressors, valves and piping, heat exchangers, purifiers, steering machinery, deck machinery, distilling plants, sewage plants, and refrigeration plants. The course includes hands-on experiences and field trips to visit ships and other marine facilities. The course includes additional preparations for the sophomore sea term. Two hours of class and two hours of lab per week in the first semester.
This course involves the design of specific machine elements such as shafts, gears, couplings, clutches, brakes, screw fasteners, and bolted joints. It applies the theory from the Strength of Materials course to practical problems in machine design. In addition, dynamic and fatigue stress analysis are introduced. Marine examples are used for the various elements, such as marine gearing and shafting. Three hours per week in the second semester.
Junior Year
The course consists of three distinct, related parts. Part one deals with the thermodynamic design of a combined steam turbine/gas turbine system. Design trade-offs and optimization are included. Part two deals with the design of the steam turbine from part one. Consideration of both thermodynamics and fluid mechanics are included. Part three provides coverage of heat transfer. One-dimensional steady and unsteady conduction and the empirical approach to convection are discussed. Brief coverage of radiation is provided. This part of the course culminates with the design of one of the heat exchangers in a COGAS plant. Design trade-offs and optimization are included. Three hours per week in the first semester.
This course covers the design of shipboard machinery systems, building on the previous marine engineering courses and the students' examination of systems while on board ships. The principles of fluid flow are used to design piping and hydraulic systems. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning design is covered. The final part of the course introduces monitoring and control systems, using analog/digital conversions, programmable logic controllers, and feedback controls. Throughout all of the design work, consideration of the relevant regulatory requirements is included. Four hours of class per week during the second semester.
Senior Year
This course includes a detailed analysis of diesel engines, a review of gas turbines, and completion of a machinery plant design for the vessels used in the Ship Design sequence. This design exercise draws on all the prior marine engineering courses as well as the student's shipboard experience, in that all the propulsion and auxiliary equipment items are selected from vendor information, and the related machinery systems are designed to support them. A lab sequence involving hands-on work with low-speed and high-speed diesels is included. Four hours of class and two hours of laboratory per week in the first semester.

My Dog Charles, "Executing His Yadda-Yadda"
One thing I found surprising this week was learning that to many H.P. observers Ms. Fiorina no longer seemed quite so bad. It was actually her strategic vision that Mr. Hurd had executed, I heard again and again [emphasis added]. Her problem was that while she talked a good game, she lacked the skill to get that big, hulking, aircraft carrier of a company moving in the direction she pointed. Mr. Hurd was a brilliant operational executive, but had the strategic sense of a gnat, and knew only how to cut costs.
—"Real Reason for Ousting H.P.'s Chief" by Joe Nocera, New York Times, August 13, 2010.
So wrote Joe Nocera, ace New York Times business columnist, in Saturday's paper. And the funny thing is, we've been hearing the exact same thing about Mark Hurd and Carly Fiorina from longtime HP-ers for the last three years, as follows:
"Hurd (and this is always said in a huffy, exasperated tone) was simply executing on Carly's strategic vision"…
...as if spending $19 billion in precious shares of HP stock to buy an aging commodity supplier of PCs—that would be Compaq—was some kind of "vision."
Anybody using a Compaq these days?
Carly defenders also gloss over the fact that she tried to buy the computer services business of PricewaterhouseCoopers (yes, that's the actual name) for a cool $18 billion at close to the all-time peak of the technology business cycle in September of 2000.
One of Wall Street's Finest said of the PWC deal at the time, "Strategically, HP is focused on being a growth company. That is the critical issue here."
Now, Gartner Group estimated that PWC's 30,000 service employees were generating $5.6 billion a year in revenue in those heady days, which means that Carly's "strategy" was to become a "growth company" by paying 3-times revenue at the peak of the market for, essentially, a body shop.
Fortunately for HP, cooler heads prevailed and the $18 billion deal fell apart before it could be consummated. (Not only that, but one year later, HP and PWC announced an "alliance" to do what the $18 billion was intended to do—only the "alliance" cost HP zero.)
How, one may well wonder, is it possible for spin-doctors to insist that Mark Hurd merely "executed the strategy" formulated by his predecessor? Perhaps Hurd's $13 billion acquisition of EDS eight years after the PWC near-miss was seen as an attempt to provide what the $18 billion PWC deal promised: an army of consultants grafting HP hardware and software onto Fortune 500 companies.
And while that may be the case, there is one difference, and it is huge: Hurd paid a mere ½ of revenue and a slight 6-times cash flow for EDS, compared to the offered 3-times revenue and who-knows-what-times cash flow for PWC.
But there is a broader aspect to this issue of "executing the strategy" that was on our minds even before Nocera's excellent piece hit our screen Saturday afternoon, and it has been on our minds ever since the latest round of earnings calls began early last month:
Just what is "executing the strategy," anyhow? And is there a company in America that does not "execute the strategy"?
We hereby present a list—incomplete, at that—of companies that proudly announced they have been "executing the strategy" on recent investor calls in the last 30 days.
Let's start with the company about which this virtual column began:
8/6 Cathie Lesjak, Interim CEO, Hewlett Packard
"Finally, I can assure you that as acting CEO, my sole focus will be to keep this great company focused on executing our strategy."
Note she does not say "Carly's strategy" or "Mark's strategy," but we can be assured there is a "strategy." Let's move on to the other companies on our list.
8/6 Thomas Mangas, CFO, Armstrong World Industries
"Certainly…we are…thinking through what is the role of the balance sheet in executing our strategy."
8/5 Marita Zuraitis, President, Hanover Insurance
"This morning I'll review our operating results and…the progress we've made in executing our strategy."
8/5 Koppers Holdings, Walt Turner, President
"We remain firmly committed to enhancing shareholder value by executing our strategy…"
8/5 Viacom, Thomas Dooley, COO
"…we remained focused on executing our strategy."
8/5 MF Global Holdings, Jon Corzine, CEO
"…we're not taking enormous market risk in executing our strategy."
Yes, that last "strategy" was "executed" by the same man who, as Governor of the State of New Jersey forgot to wear a seatbelt while his official car was being driven at high speeds over the roads his State had not been repairing thanks to the horrible state of governance by people like him. (Apparently Mr. Corzine forgot to "execute" the "seatbelt strategy" that most Americans manage to "execute" every day.)
Moving on, we find that so many "strategies" were being "executed" last quarter, we can't quote them all. Here we go:
8/4 Terremark, ADC Telecommunications
8/3 Mastercard
7/30 Genworth, First Potomac Realty Trust
7/29 Federal Mogul, Avon Products, Dresser-Rand, Integra Bank
7/28 Nalco Holding, Jones Apparel
And there are even more, including Harley-Davidson, Weyerhaeuser, Green Mountain Coffee and Gartner Group, not to mention perennial earnings-disappointer Take-Two Interactive, which is one company that is not exactly "top of mind" when it comes to "executing strategies," if you get our drift.
The conclusion to which we have arrived is that a) strategies are a dime a dozen; and b) all companies execute them.
Ergo, even my dog Charles could "execute the strategy" if the "strategy" was to 1) eat, or 2) sleep, or 3) jump in whatever nearby car has an open door, or 4) eat miscellaneous weeds until he throws up.
Why, just this morning Charles successfully "executed" many "aspects" of his "strategy" several times—but he did not bother holding conference calls to brag about it.
Therefore, in light of the fact that "executing the strategy" is fast becoming the most overworked cliché on Wall Street, we here at NotMakingThisUp suggest that any CEO or CFO who for whatever reason feels compelled to use the dreaded phrase to describe whatever random actions the company has been taking recently, they should simply say "we are executing our yadda-yadda," and get on with it.
And now that we here at NotMakingThisUp have "executed our yadda-yadda," we can get on with it.
My dog Charles would no doubt approve: he is at this moment outside our window "executing" his "strategy" to eat miscellaneous weeds until he throws up.
And he is executing that strategy very, very successfully, we might add.

perhaps these executives mean that they are "executing" their strategies just as one would "execute" a mass murderer
oh, and thanks for reminding me that other dogs besides mine enjoy eating weeds until they throw up.

Jeff - Doesn't this whole Hurd saga remind you of Floyd Landis cheating in the Tour de France a few years ago?
"I failed the test because...I drank whiskey the night before. No? OK, it was because I was dehydrated. No? OK, it was because I have a naturally high testosterone level. No? OK...um...let me talk to my lawyers..."
Now that's a strategy!

Jeff keep this up and your going to take all the fun out of Quarterly analyst call buzzword bingo.

The Wall Street Journal, Fox News and their fellow travelers are peddling this fantasy to build up Carly's failed career at HP for political gain.

Re Hurd,
He was the best CEO of HP since Messers. Hewlett and Packard. The Board made a tremendous mistake. I wonder how many of the Kibitzers a/k/a experts own HP stock and for how long. I follow HP's information daily and own
many shares for more than 40 years. I am quite upset by and wonder how saintly this Board is.
Re Charles,
Has definitely has a strategy. He doesn't throw up because he eats weeds, he probably eats weeds in order to vomit and get rid of excess acidity, which often is caused by changing diet and/or different quantities of food. Dogs stomach acid is many times stronger than human acidity (to break up bones) and dogs can throw up at will when bothered by excess acidity; weeds help this; they have no access to Tums or Prylosec .
Solution: Feed the same food and quantity at about the same time every day. Snacks and left-overs only after regular food has been eaten, and not in too large amounts.

Dude, I like your blog. But I know a bit about HP, and all this post says is that you don't like that phrase. And JeffMatthewsIsStartingToAnnoyMe.
"Anybody using a Compaq these days?" Huh? Uh, well, they merged the companies. They made choices about brand. You know, that's why they did it. Anybody use an HP these days?
It's fashionable to trash Carly's strategy for the company, and PwC at that price would have been a bad buy based on valuation, but it was sound strategy, and Hurd did pursue a very similar yadda yadda. It's not even clear, though I am not the sage condescending hedgie that you are, that it may not have been such a bad deal with inflated stock. Sort of like selling stock at the market high in 2007 and burning the cash on a new sweet ride instead of watching it evaporate.
The Compaq acquisition was about scale in the PC business, and that's about supply chain, and that's key to the strategy (oh, yadda yadda) that Hurd was pushing versus Cisco.
Maybe it was time for Hurd to go. But your post contains nothing of substance about yadda yadda.

jeff - do you know what an hp proliant server is or where it first came from? i'm guessing not. hint: we buy them by the truckload.
- But What do I Know? said...
It is unfathomable to me how anyone can view Carly Fiorina as other than a self-aggrandizing, publicity-seeking seagull manager who has done nothing other than run down every organization she has been handed--some of them have been fortunate to get rid of her in time. Her mere continued appearance in the public spotlight as a figure of than anything other than ridicule speaks to the degraded political discourse of the times. I wouldn't hire her to run a lemonade stand.
- Jeff Matthews said...
Anonymous asks if we know where Proliant servers came from, and notes that his/her firm buys them "by the truckload."
Indeed, that's the old Compaq Proliant, now renamed the HP Proliant, and it resides in the ESS segment of HP (Enterprise Storage and Servers), which contributed 10% of HP's $115 billion sales last FY.
Now, of the $15B in ESS's reported 2009 FY sales, some large amount is storage and blades, so the Proliant portion is maybe half the $15 billion, or $7 billion.
Assuming contribution margins of 15% on $7 billion of sales, that's about a billion in operating income.
The central question is, was it necessary to spend $19 billion to add $1 billion in future operating income from servers now sold under the HP name, as well as personal computers likewise now sold under the HP name, to move HP forward?
The answer is very likely no, but we're open to data suggesting otherwise.
- Anonymous said...
Yeah - the overused phrase du jour is very annoying.
For some reason all that talk of executing reminds me of a quote from the late John McKay, when he coached the hapless Tampa Bay Bucs. After another loss, a reporter asked McKay what he thought of his team's execution. McKay said, 'I'm in favor of it."
- Anonymous said...
The truth is that Fiorina's "strategy" was only a high-level idea to combine two large companies. It came at a time in her career with HP when her star had definitely fallen, and the merger was viewed by many as a swing-for-the-fences attempt to save her job. It's ludicrous to think that Hurd was just executing Fiorina's whim. Some like to contrast the "strategy" of Fiorina with the "operations" of Hurd. Anyone who's listed to both former CEOs extensively knows that Hurd was clearly superior in BOTH strategy and operations.

Man is this the analysis you use to run your hedge fund? You write: "The central question is, was it necessary to spend $19 billion to add $1 billion in future operating income from servers now sold under the HP name, as well as personal computers likewise now sold under the HP name, to move HP forward?
The answer is very likely no, but we're open to data suggesting otherwise."
Uh, what about all the other contributions from the merger, such as much larger market share resulting in real supply chain efficiencies and stronger purchasing and pricing power (numbers not disclosed)? What about the whole approach to converged infrastructure? What are the benefits of all those things? You're the one looking like a shallow numbers assessed analytical wonk with the strategic sense of a gnat.
- PhillipCharles said...
"Great quarter, er, column, Jeff! With your insightful and clever takes on earnings calls and the relevant business news of the last few weeks you've been admirably executing the strategy behind this brand. Despite some recent voices of disapproval from other commenters, my thesis regarding your blog remains intact."
- Colin P said...
Jeff, On average, during earnings season, how many calls do you listen to each day? Thanks.
- Jeff Matthews said...
Anonymous expresses astonishment that we have not explored "the whole approach to converged infrastructure," among other things, in our previous coverage of the Hurd-Carly thing. Alas we have no opinion on "converged infrastructure," which sounds like something that Dilbert's boss would be wowed by. Still, we have (independently of Anonymous' sentiment as expressed here) been looking at the issue of whether Hurd really did, as Larry Ellison claimed, "revive HP to its former glory," or some such statement, and will be publishing soon.
And to Colin's question, the answer is probably 5, on average, throughout the 6 weeks or so of a typical earnings season. More on especially busy days, including transcripts read; less as things wind down.
Some calls are really informative and worth listening to all the way through while doing yardwork or something so you don't get distracted, even if you don't care about the company. These include Caterpillar, Schlumberger, Costco, Cisco, Emerson, Fluor, and a host of smaller companies.
Others, particularly institutional favorites in fairly narrow businesses (such as Petsmart, for example), you should avoid the call and instead pick out the 3 interesting things they said from the transcript, thus avoiding having to listen to the incessant yabbering by Wall Street's Finest over penny-per-share, margin and tax rate nonsense, and not miss a thing.
- Anonymous said...
anonymous again here. about that "converged infrastructure" thing. totally agree, it does in fact sound like something dilbert's boss would be wowed by. unfortunately that does not determine its merit.
(or is this the basis of your hedge fund strategy: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1572705).
oh, and btw, I didn't say Hurd restored HP. in fact I don't think he did. i only say that there is a succinct strategy behind HP's version of "converged infrastructure" that actually does make logical sense (if you as one of wall street's *true* finest would actually do the work of researching it). oh, and btw, i don't claim it will succeed or even that its a *good* strategy...merely that no matter what it *sounds* like, it does *exist*, and is actually *logical* and will actually be *relevent* for analyzing the *stock*.
so, we here at jeffmatthewsisstartingtoannoyme, will now be looking forward to messr matthews upcoming promised analysis. in particular, we will be watching to see if messr matthews will have found enough time away from writing snark to actually be able to state the strategy succinctly.
- Jeff Matthews said...
Yep, sure thing. And "converged infrastructure" or not, HP doesn't do so hot, by numbers anyway. But it sounds good!
- Anonymous said...
Ok the same anonymous here again. Looking forward to the analysis. Don't think HP not looking so hot by trailing numbers anyway will have much to do with "converged infrastructure" though since that is the strategy against Cisco (largely) and is an as yet un-executed yadda yadda.

11 February 2011
Posted in DinoDigs
It has long been believed that all non-avian dinosaurs were made extinct 65.5 to 66 million years ago when debris from a giant meteorite impact blocked out the sun from the Earth's atmosphere. The meteorite impact changed the climate of Earth and killed its vegetation and was thought to have killed off most dinosaurs. A new discovery, reported by geology journal, may prove otherwise.
A team of researches from the University of Alberta, led by Larry Heaman from the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, used Uranium Lead dating (a newer form of dinosaur dating) to determine the age of a hadrosaur femur bone to be 700,000 year after the supposed mass extinction. Heaman has a few different explanations as to how this dino could have escaped extinction; vegetation may not have been killed in all areas of the earth and this species of hadrosaur survived or the eggs of the hadrosaur may have been able to survive the extreme climate change. Heaman and his team plan to test more bones with uranium-lead dating and believe the end date of dinosaurs may have to be revised in the future.

Hey, there!
I really only need professional trumpet players to answer this question… Well, i've come to some pretty high notes and i don't really kno how to play really high notes… i try and try, i get em' sometimes but it hurts!! I have my teeth emprints inside my lips! Is it suppose to be like this? Will the pain pass as i keep playing? Am i doing something wrong? Just the main quesition is… How do i play high notes well!? HELP!
Nic I know you wanted to have a profesional's answer,but I to have asked the same questions to my trumpet teachers and even yamaha's profesional
artist Bobby Shew. They all have basically the same answer. They told me the average 13 year old trumpet player should only be playing the third octive G, so the first one above the staff. But if your like me and want to get into the relativley high notes you should practice simple songs like Merry had a little lamb, twinkle twinkle little star, the french song, and hot cross buns, but an octive higher. If you don't want to be seen playing these extreamly simple songs, I highly suggest the original version of my funny valentine. The one from babes in arms mainly because the hole song is relatively low and almost all quarter notes. This way you want be poping any blood vessels while your playing. This has helped get up to playing the third octive A, B, and C. After you reach this point try to play comfortably at a new note every on or two months. Remember to build up to the high notes and be able to play them comfortably before moving on and id if you get stuck at a note like I am at third octive D just keep at it because once you get usually the next note or two come really easy.
p.s. I'm going to my first Wynton concert in Millwaukee this weekend! Any tips?
What kind of music things do you do at school?
Sorry about all my spelling mistakes I just read it
Thanks, Matt!
O, wow! Good for you. Your first Wynton show!!! It's amazing! You're in for a real treat man… Good Luck! Bye!
O, do tell me what happens at the show!
