Medicare and Medicaid Waitimg for Approval Time Plastic Sugery?
Doctor Answers 4
Thank you for your question.
Each insurance company is different with their authorization process. I do not believe that medicare provides preauthorization and so you will be responsible for full payment if they deny the claim.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_tummyTuck.htm
Procedures cannot be preauthorized with Medicare. You would have to sign a waiver agreeing to pay all charges if Medicare denies payment. In my city, you get a discounted rate for cosmetic procedures from the hospital, but if billed to insurance and denied, the hospitals will not retroactively discount their fees and you are left paying list price, which is quite expensive. Although you have letters from doctors, most insurance companies are not covering these procedures, with the possible exception of a breast reduction and only if you have significant volume removal, not just lifting of the breast.
I would really caution you about taking the insurance approach for the cosmetic portions of the procedures. I have heard of patients receiving enormous bills leading to severe financial burdens.

While making your plans, it is possible you are not thinking about plan B but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
According to a research by Queen University the human brain's motor neurons will prepare for multiple actions before making a decision.
The team learned this by conducting experiments where volunteers were asked to guide a cursor toward one of two targets before they knew which one they were supposed to pick.
iIt was easy for the test subjects to consciously steer down the middle, the scientists took the cursor increasingly out of sync to make people compensate through unconscious actions.
The volunteers' movements were an average of the movement paths needed to reach the targets, not the average between the positions — their brains were already prepping for both paths.
The results should help to understand the human brain.They suggest that the brain interprets the environment as a range of potential actions, and that you're always considering options even if you only ever settle on one. However, this could also help produce smarter robots.
If anyone could teach artificial intellect to always have multiple solutions in mind, they could have a more human-like ability to improvise.

Symantec Online Fraud Protection Symantec Price: From $100,000 per year per brand protected and from $75,000/year for an online fraud specialist Once Internet commerce became big business, it was inevitable that Inter-net crime would become big business as well. Online fraud, typically some kind of identity theft such as phishing, costs companies and their customers billions of dollars. "What we're really talking about is brand erosion," says Ted Donat, director, product management, for Symantec Consulting Services. "If you get an email from Joe's_bank.com, and you read about a phishing attack or were the victim of a phishing attack, you're going to think twice about opening that email." Symantec's recently announced Online Fraud Protection service is a multifaceted package to help organizations doing a high volume of Internet transactions. Typically these are large banks, brokerages and retailers, but Donat says Symantec is also drawing interest from smaller banks, which are also targeted. The service includes an initial ...

Many times your apps need to run lengthy operations in the background, like downloading data, but you don't want these operations to interfere with your UI.
Apple's GCD (long form: Grand Central Dispatch) framework allows you to create asynchronous apps for iOS, ensuring smooth a smooth user experience in situations like the one mentioned above.
Rich Learning Content
Interactive Quizzes
Taught by Industry Pros
Self-Paced Learning
Student Support Community
This free course is your first step towards a new career with the Become an iOS Developer Nanodegree Program.
Enhance your skill set and boost your hirability through innovative, independent learning.
In this chapter we will revisit the concept of closures in Swift. We need to learn a few properties of closures that we bypassed in Swift Syntax. These are vital when dealing with GCD.
You will put you new knowledge of closures to test in several playgrounds. By the end of this lesson you will be able to drop things like, "Closures are first class types that capture their lexical environment" in casual conversations and impress fellow nerds. Even better: you will actually know what the heck you're talking about!
Here you meet our main antagonist: Apple's open source library Grand Central Dispatch.
GCD is an enormous library, so we will concentrate on its core features: how it allows you to send tasks to the background and (equally important) to the foreground.
When you finish this lesson you will have a sound knowledge of how and what you can send to the background and what must always run in the foreground.
Talk is cheap. Show me the code! -- Linus Torvalds.
In this chapter you will create a simple App that downloads huge images (the easiest way to block the UI). You will apply your newly acquired knowledge to send this network lengthy task to the background in 2 different ways.
By the end of this lesson you will know how to run closures in the background, design methods that take a completion closure and understand the code in the black box in the Networking course.
To be successful in this course, you should be comfortable programming in Swift, and understand closures. You can learn these skills in our Swift Syntax course.
Familiarity with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Matrix are also recommended in order to understand the jokes in this course.
See the Technology Requirements for using Udacity.
Almsot all Apps consume data from web services, and therefore must use background threads for these lengthy operations.
Even though we provide a black box solution for concurrency in the iOS Networking with Swift course, it is important that you understand how concurrency works in iOS.
This knowledge is vital to deliver Apps that won't be rejected from the App Store and also provide a great user experience.
On top of that, GCD is a frequent topic in iOS job interviews.
Get notified when the Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) course launches.
We'll be in touch soon.

Hate messages and slashed tires
Friday 8 June 2012In an apparent protest against the decision to evacuate an Israeli "outpost" settlement, thugs crept into the village during the night, slashing tires of many cars, and spray painting right-wing and anti-Arab slogans on cars and buildings.
The message on the school door (see attached photos) says "Hi from Havat Gilad" (one of the "outpost" settlements) and "Death to the Arabs". Another message at the school says "Revenge". A message on one of the cars said "Hi from Ulpana" (the outpost settlement that the government decided to evacuate).
In addition to the slogans, about 14 vehicles had their tires deflated.
Stories appeared in various Israeli newspapers though most of these have mentioned only damage to cars.
Residents of the village had the following to say:
Nava Sonnenschein (long term resident and a senior staff member at the School for Peace (to Haaretz:)
"This is a racist act directed against our community. They did it so that the children would see this when they come in the morning. "We have been trying for 33 years to do something to bring Jews and Arabs together to talk, yet the waves of racism are stronger than us."
Nihaya Dawood (a long term Arab resident says:
"Since they wrote 'Death to Arabs' and not 'Death to Jews' this is a phenomenon that is part of the wave of violence sweeping the country against Arabs and foreigners."
Her husband, who is principal of the Primary School, said to Channel 2 News
"We feel very bad and this causes us pain. We see on the school door "Death to Arabs" and "Revenge", and this is against our values. We have never harmed anyone, be they Arab or Jew. This is the first time in the last decade that we have experienced this. They sprayed cars of residents and guests. The writing is on the wall and we expect the State to bring the people who have done this to justice."
Village resident Michal Zak had this to say:
"This isn't about "price tag". That's just a euphemism. It's crime, hatred, a call to violence, killing, vandalism. We mustn't forget that this culture is part of the culture of the Occupation. This violence is taking place every day in the Occupied Territories. Vandalism and plunder is being perpetrated by the state and its delegates in the West Bank and Gaza. The choice of Neve Shalom is not by chance. The community symbolizes the opposite possibiliity. The possibility of equality and sharing."

- Message: "Kahana was right"

TV Ratings: 'Shark Tank' Leads Friday, CBS Lineup Gets Season Highs
Fast National returns give CBS and ABC a shared demo victory on Friday night, but it's the former that earned the most notable victories.

The duo rose one tenth and two tenths of a point, respectively. Shark Tank (2.0 adults) was up two tenths, topping all efforts across broadcast for the night, and 20/20 (1.5 adults) was up a tenth.
NBC encored the first two episode of 1600 Penn before a two-hour Dateline (1.4 adults), which was off a tenth of a point from last week. The network averaged a 1.2 rating in the demo and 4.8 million viewers.
Fringe (0.8 adults) dropped two tenths of a point on Fox, falling shy of a Kitchen Nightmares encore. Fox pulled a 0.9 adults rating and 2.5 million viewers.
Nikita and Arrow encores earned a 0.3 adults rating and 924,000 viewers for The CW.

If omitted it will default to the HARD_THREAD_LIMIT of 2048. Which one of the defaults is appropriate for the documentation? The NetWare SecureListen directive, at the very least, should be added to the Novell NetWare Platform Specific Notes (platform/netware.html). There is a section on that page for Additional NetWare specific directives. The directive is implemented through the built in module MOD_NW_SSL which is also NetWare specific. I'm not sure if there should be an additional module documentation page for this module or not. This is the module that implements SSL functionality for the NetWare platform and replaces the need to use MOD_SSL on NetWare. The SecureListen directive takes an "<IPAddress:port> | <port>" and the name of a certificate. The default in the configuration file is SecureListen 443 "SSL CertificateDNS" If you want to add this directive to the NetWare doc, I can fill in the details later. Brad Brad Nicholes Senior Software Engineer Novell, Inc., the leading provider of Net business solutions http://www.novell.com >>> firstname.lastname@example.com Monday, December 16, 2002 7:09:58 PM >>> [xpost dev & docs] the MPM documentation is currently incomplete and partially outdated. I've tried to remove this flaw... ;-) the patch against the existing source files (xml) can be found at <http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/mpms.diff> (~ 68K). If you want to read it as HTML, try <http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/manual/mod/#core> as a starting point. However, here's a summary of the main changes: - added new docs for beos, leader, mpmt_os2 and threadpool. The descriptions are mainly taken from the READMEs and/or code comments. - mpm_common: * fixed the <modulelist>s in mpm_common * moved AcceptMutex to mpm_common; document the mutex mechanism "posixsem" * added BS2000Account to mpm_common (I'm not sure, whether it should appear here or elsewhere. It *seems* to be supported only by prefork and perchild (if perchild would work). The description is obtained from the 1.3 docs. * fixed several default values * moved MaxThreadsPerChild and NumServers out to perchild (btw: we could consider to rename NumServers to StartServers...) * rearranged some stuff and added several comments, that I found useful ;-) - mpm_netware: * MaxThreads - there was a limit of 250 documented. hmm, I couldn't find *any* reference to a value of 250, so I took the obvious from mpm_netware: MaxThreads 2048 (as maximum and default) - perchild: * extended the explanations about using different user ids. Hope, that's correct. * extended and adjusted the directive descriptions (remember, NumServers and MaxThreadsPerChild moved in) - prefork: * moved AcceptMutex to mpm_common (as stated already above) Please note again, that these are only the main changes. There is still one directive (except GProfDir ;-) that's not documented: SecureListen, which comes with the netware ssl module. I didn't add it, because I'm a bit unsure, where to place it. any ideas? Probably more interesting for the doccos: the growing up of the MPM section caused some style changes for better navigation etc. A diff against the style files can be found at <http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/style.diff> (~ 17K). Here are the main changes: - reintroduced the sidebar for the module index page (obvious ;-) * didn't want to leave the section links so alone, thus added some <seealso>s. - changed the ordering of the core/MPMs as follows: * core * mpm_common * alphabetical list of the mpms (ordered by their "natural" names). - same appeared on the sitemap (<http://cvs.apache.org/~nd/manual/sitemap.html#modules>) - changed <h1> headings of the modulesynopsis files, so that they match the titles in the sitemap. This should better reflect the nature of the modules.

Minimum Stay | 7 nights |
Location, Location! On The Beach and Across from John's Pass.
Beautiful two bedroom condo in fabulous Madeira Norte. You're just a quick walk over to John's Pass Village, with all it's restaurants, shops and activities. The beach here is incredible, and the amenities at the resort provide everything you've been looking for.
This condo is a two bedroom, one and a half bath, with a full kitchen, private balcony, and washer/dryer. The master bedroom has king size bed with private bath, and the second bedroom has a queen size bed. The spacious living room has plenty of room with comfortable seating for all. Everything is provided for your use including all linens, bath and beach towels, all kitchen utensils, pots, pans, and a few beach accessories.
The large private balcony faces towards the Bay, and give a nice view of the water and John's Pass. With plenty of space to relax, you'll be able to enjoy a nice place to relax, eat, or read. After a wonderful day on the sand, the outstanding pool provides a spacious area to cool down and enjoy the warm Florida sun.

We couldn't have ask for more. Condo was much larger than the pictures show. Location was the best. We will be back for sure. One small problem with someone parking in our parking spot which was quickly resolved and no issue at all.
Thank you Liz!
Having stayed for 5 weeks we had a very relaxing time in the unit, there was only one problum,and that was sorted the next day.
Only thing I would say is the balcony furniture could do with updating.
Great location across from Johns pass.
Our unit 403 at Madeira Norte was just as pictured on the website. It was spacious and clean. Our huge balcony faced John's Pass with some beautiful views including gorgeous sunrises! Our parking was close to the elevators. We were just steps to a wonderful beach with calm waters. It was nice to have beach chairs and toys provided. The pool was refreshing and we met many friendly guests there. We visited the restaurants at John's Pass and there are many shops for those who enjoy that activity. It was all just a short walk directly across the street! We have been in the area before and this trip was to look at property and visit our grandbaby. Those who come need to visit Ft. DeSoto State Park for all kinds of outdoor activities!
the condo was very pleasant and an excellent location, my only misgivings were to do with information...there was none in the flat regarding what the different keys were for , extra parking, where the rubbish went, recycling and apart from a few menus not much about the local community. we have stayed in many self catering accommodations and this has always been standard. Near the end of our 2 weeks we did see a notice in the lifts...but the writing was small and realistically we tried to spend as little time as possible in it as it was so hot.
This condo is everything that anyone would ask for as a vacation home or a home to live in. It is very spacious, and it has every thing you need. It is very secure and quiet, the bedding was very comfortable. The location is perfect.
This was an amazing condo. This was our first vacation in 8 years and it was worth every penny. The condo was immaculate, super clean, perfect location. We didn't have any issues at all. The condo overlooked St John's pass. Live music and shops and restaurants. This was right on the beach. Amazing and I will rent this place again. Loved it!

- //Naked Hearts
Someone should start a summer festival where every band is a boy-girl indie rock duo. You could book the White Stripes, Matt & Kim, the Fiery Furnaces, the Raveonettes, and Mates of State among many others. If the gender specificity is dropped, Tegan and Sara could be added as well. It would be a pretty good show.
Naked Hearts could have a plum opening spot and more than hold their own with the more established acts. Amy Cooper and Noah Wheeler's first album, Mass Hysteria, is a strong set of pop rock gems that go for hooks and melodies over the odd rhythms and occasional outbursts of pure noise favored by some of their peers. Cooper and Wheeler have clearly been spending a lot of time with their '90s influences. The song "Boyfriend" sounds so much like a lost track off a Juliana Hatfield album that it's eerie. Of course, like much of Hatfield's work, it is also a completely enjoyable bouncy romp. While "Boyfriend" is a fun listen, if the whole album was similarly derivative it would be easily dismissed.
Instead, Naked Hearts have been saved by a band that also must be in heavy rotation on their playlist: Nirvana. The strong influence of grunge can be heard throughout the album. "Grow"'s guitar riff is inspired directly by Nirvana. "Way I See You" feels like a combination of the guitar from "Rape Me" and the bass and drums from "Come as You Are". When Cooper and Wheeler sing together on the propulsive title track, it makes you wonder what the song would sound like if it was a lost basement track duet between Cobain and Courtney Love. Yet there is not a hint of Kurt Cobain in Wheeler's voice; he sounds more like Evan Dando. Cooper has a voice reminiscent of Tanya Donelly. What sets Mass Hysteria apart is the juxtaposition of those clean vocals and the crunch of the music behind them.
While Naked Hearts strive to echo Nirvana in the music, neither Cooper nor Wheeler capture the anguish that marked all of Cobain's vocals. But, then again, they don't seem to be tortured by personal demons like he was either. Grunge is deployed on this album as a style to be incorporated and appreciated, not as merely a tribute to its founders, which is appropriate treatment for a 20-year-old genre.
It is easy to focus on the band's influences, but that sells short how good the songs are without any reference to the past. When Cooper and Wheeler take turns singing "No one likes you like me" on "Like I Do", they capture a perfect mixture of threatening and sweet that makes it impossible to know if they are falling in love or stalking each other. With many indie duos, you can hear the gaps that are being filled in by synthesizers and computers. Naked Hearts does an excellent job spackling over the holes to create a full rock sound.
All in all, Mass Hysteria is a solid set. An auspicious debut from a band to watch in the future.

Hi All,
I'm interested in getting advice on traveling to Sydney, Australia and celebrating the new year there. This will be my 1st trip to the area and I"ll be traveling solo. I'm looking at sppending about 10 days there.
Need recommendation on getting started with trip planning, how to find new year clebration events that a solo traveler can attend. And any general information that would help me to have a safe & enjoyable trip.

Hi cynthia719,
here's a link to get you started:
This is basic information about the events put on by the city including the fireworks displays. Book your accommodation ASAP, it may be too late already to find anywhere good!

Have been thinking about your situation on NYE - I am not sure if I'd recommend braving the crowds along the foreshores for a single female traveller. Particularly in the Rocks there are huge crowds, and sometimes there are brawls and broken glass (alcohol coupled with people trying to get a better position, etc). Lots of the big hotels put on festivities and some hotels have a view of the bridge (the harbour as you guessed is the focal point of the evening, and especially so the Bridge, which is lit with fireworks), so whatever you do, find somewhere with a good view of the Bridge.

Thanks Lavandula,
What about traveling solo for the rest of my stay after new year's is it pretty safe for me to move about on my own or should I try to get a tour? -
Report Abuse
Hi again,
I would think of most places in Australia as pretty safe for a solo traveller, especially the cities. That is, no danger from other folks! So I wouldn't really hesitate to go on my own. Having said that, I would never go bushwalking on my own, it's not recommended because of the risk of wandering off the track and getting lost. If you do go bushwalking, always check in with the police or the rangers beforehand so they know how long you'll be away for, and take adequate supplies. I am reminded of the young German who decided (unusually) to drive a famous cattle-droving track in WA (this happened about 3 - 4 yrs ago), and who took with him only a slab of beer and some muesli bars. He failed to observe a) that the track was an unpaved road, suitable only for a 4-wheel drive and b) would take at least 6 days to complete. He had expected to complete it in a few hours and so was completely unprepared, and wound up in difficulties. He was fortunately able to be rescued. It just shows that it is easy to misjudge what looks on the map like an okay road. If you are driving alone and are somewhere remote, always stay with your vehicle if it breaks down. A plane can spot a car easily, which is not the case with a human being.
We do have young travellers who take risks and wind up in trouble on a regular basis - but again they take risks. I don't think this sounds likely with you. Don't go hitchhiking, though, I'd consider that an unacceptable risk too. Basically don't do here what you wouldn't do at home!

I second Lavandula's advice about not going to the Rocks by yourself on New Years Eve. It is crowded and full of drunk yobbos. Maybe the biggest danger is being vomited on but either way it is pretty unpleasant. However there are other options that might suit. Here is a nother link with some organised events.
I do not know what you budget is like but all the restaurants around Circular Quay have New Year's Specials and some of these may be an appropriate way for you to enjoy the celebrations and see the fireworks. There are other harbour parks around where you can see fireworks but you need to get to the best spots early in the day to get a good spot. Fine if you are with s group of friends but not something I would recommend on your own. If you can get oin a boat then I would recommend that.
Regarding travelling around on your own after New Year's, you should be perfectly safe if you follow normal safety habits in any big city.
If you go to a beach please make sure you swim between the flags. If you want to do a bushwalk then there are plenty of guided options you could take. There are many tracks by the harbour foreshore though that would be safe to walk on your own as they are well patronised. Let me know if you want any more specific information. I live in Sydney. -

Well, now I'm getting nervous! Our family of 4 will be in Sydney for NYE, paying a small fortune to stay in CBD for minimum stay required so that we can see the fireworks.
Exactly how early does one have to get to the place you want to watch fireworks at? I was thinking of the two venues open for public viewing in the Botanic Gardens Trust? We just don't have the funds to pay for the pricey affairs, like "Lawn with the View" for $200 each! So, when would we have to arrive? -
Report Abuse
Some people arrive early in the morning with picnic blankets or deckchairs and sit on their spot like they were hatching an egg. Somehow I never did that - I used to go to McKell Park in Darling Point just on the evening and get sort of glimpses of the fireworks, jostling with others for the view. McMahon's Point (on the north side of the harbour) is another spot that's really quite good, but the road into that area is closed so you would have to walk from North Sydney Station. I don't bother anymore, we have a little one at home now and so we just watch the fireworks on TV. I've seen plenty over the years! But to come back to your enquiry - anywhere close to the city with a good view will have campers on it by the morning of NYE. If you're with a group or family I would take my chances around Mrs Macquarie's Chair or Botanical Gardens. You'll see wherever people are set up that that's an appropriate vantage point. Lots of people, no worries about being in the park after dark. I would also pack a light long-sleeved top and jeans because this year we have had a lot of cool, rainy weather and if you're standing around at night it'll be chilly (La Nina weather effect). In an ideal situation you might look for a restaurant that isn't booked out with a view of the harbour, but you'd have to rush. Do check out the atmosphere in the Rocks in the early part of the evening, it's only later that it gets rough due to the grog. I might also add that if you have young uns there is a special fireworks display for the children at 9pm, so you can say you've seen the fireworks and then take them off home to bed. It's not quite as spectacular as the main event but still quite good.

In terms of how early you would probably want to be set up in a spot around 6ish if you are in one of the better vantage point parks. Be aware that many roads are closed into the popular parks and you may have to walk quite a way. You wil l most likely need to take a picnic. It is quite a fun night if you are in the mo he re family style parks and everyone is usually pretty friendly. The fireworks are always good. My favourite times though have been when I have been on a boat, but they have always been friends' boats.

Sydney is full of lone travellers on NYE.
Can't comment on the Rocks but by the opera house it was fine.
We were there for the 04/05 fireworks with 2 teenaged children, we didn't feel threatened at all. It is very well organised, various areas around the opera house are gated and limited numbers of people let in.
As we had teenagers and the NYE fireworks were a main objective, we decided to hit our plot at around midday. Probably far too early but we had the best view, sat on the harbour wall along side the opera house, facing the bridge. We took food and picknicked and generally absorbed the atmosphere of the build up.
As the time approached there was an old Indian woman who pleaded with us to let her sit down as she was tired. Hah, I told her to bugger off elsewhere as we had been sat there for many hours. She moved up the queue and persuaded someone to let her sit down, within 5 mins her whole family had sat there too pushing the original owners of the spot out. Be aware !
But you don't need to be there so early if your alone,6 ish is fine. Remember the fireworks are in the sky and on the bridge, as long as you can see those you will be fine.
You don't need to pay $$ to sit on lawns, there are plenty of places to see.
In saying that there are many hundreds of thousands of people there so you need to have a plan of where you should be and take care as you would in any similar situation.
enjoy, it's a great experience.

The New Year I spent in Australia I went to a Sydney suburb for the fireworks... Near the Balmain East ferry wharf there's a grassy area... It was filled with locals with BBQs! Quite amazing! And fun to be with Aussies and not in a jammed pack tourist crowd.

SEPARATING GOOD INVESTMENT IDEAS from bad, however, isn't as easy as picking winners in the marketplace. Companies such as Salesforce and web-hosting outfit Rackspace Holding (RAX) may be essential to this sea-change, but their valuations are scarily high. Salesforce, at about $149, fetches 99 times fiscal 2013 earnings estimates, while Rackspace, which operates massive data centers for cloud services, trades at 86 times. Are their opportunities really that much greater than those at Apple, which fetches 11 times estimates, or at Microsoft, which trades at 10 times?
Ann Cutting for Barron's
Probably not, argues Barron's Roundtable member Fred Hickey, publisher of the High-Tech Strategist. "Companies like Rackspace and Salesforce are classic story stocks," he says, "and it is very dangerous to own such stocks when everything they might produce in the way of earnings and cash flow is already priced in." Also in that boat, he argues, is Amazon.com, which stands to prosper if its Kindle Fire can elbow its way into the tablet computer market. But at 104 times earnings, that's a big if.
The table "Who Wins, Who Loses" sifts through both opportunities and valuation, to find the best bets for investors. Google's earnings flub last week notwithstanding, that company is still on our list of likely winners, which are few and far between.
IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR Microsoft. Smartphones were still relatively primitive when Windows 7 was introduced in 2009, and tablet computers didn't even exist. Now, as the charts "Game On!" illustrate, they threaten the PC hegemony. Neither Microsoft, HP, nor Dell is a force in smartphones or tablets.
"It is becoming a mainstream idea that your PC is not the center of everything," says Kevin Landis of Firsthand Funds, who has owned Microsoft, off and on, for years -- and is nervous every time he does.
That said, Microsoft is putting its vast resources behind its Windows 8 operating system for phones and tablets. And at 12 a.m. Friday, it will begin selling a tablet computer of its own, known as the Surface, setting up a midnight madness event. So we'll know soon how the excitement stacks up against iPhone and iPad madness.
On Thursday, Microsoft reported flat year-over-year revenue, led by a 9% drop in the division that contains Windows. The numbers included pre-sales for Windows 8. Excluding them, sales in the Windows unit dropped by a third. At nine times next year's expected profits, Microsoft shares are very inexpensive, considering the strengths of the company's other businesses, including server software, databases, and collaboration. But unless Microsoft can show that Surface and all the other Win 8 devices will turn the tide for that part of the division, its stock will continue to suffer. Microsoft closed the week at $28.64 and yields 3.2%. (For more on last week's earnings mishaps at Microsoft, Google, and AMD, see Tech Trader.)
THE INEXORABLE SHIFT AWAY from PCs is causing havoc for manufacturers. This year, worldwide sales of personal computers are projected to drop about 2%, to 357 million units, according to IDC's David Daoud. In dollars, they will fall 5% to 6%. More telling: Smartphone sales are expected to surge 42% this year, to $294 billion, topping PC sales for the first time. And sales of tablets are expected to rocket 65%, to $59 billion.
To Dan Niles of Alpha One Capital Partners, this sounds very familiar. He worked in the 1980s at minicomputer titan Digital Equipment Corp., whose founder, Ken Olsen, famously said there was no reason anyone would want a computer in his home. DEC was later acquired by Compaq Computer and vanished without a trace.
Smartphones and tablets are similarly underestimated now, Niles asserts. For that reason, he's inclined to avoid Intel and Microsoft. "Go ahead, gamble they can make the leap to this new world," he says. "I don't want that bet."
As the PC market fades, Intel is trying to maintain its lead in server chips, while becoming a force in phones and tablets. Last week, it reported that PC growth had slowed last quarter and this quarter to half its usual seasonal rate, disappointing investors waiting for spiffy new "ultrabook" laptops to make a splash. At the same time, CEO Paul Otellini said Intel's new Atom chip would be in 20 tablets this quarter, including the Surface.
The problem is that Intel has more to lose from the PC decline than to gain from selling cheaper chips for tablets and smartphones. The company's shares, which closed the week at $21.27, trade at nine times next year's estimates and pay a rich 4% dividend. While Intel may never be a growth company again, it probably won't hurt investors who own it.
Apple, trading at 9.1 times this year's projected profits, after backing out $117 billion in cash and investments, is priced quite reasonably, given its expected 24% growth in revenue this year. Even as one of the world's dominant phone makers, it has just 7% of the mobile-phone market, according to Gartner, giving it ample room to grow.
Samsung, the dominant global phone producer, shows no sign of stopping its gains at the expense of smaller companies. Its stock is also undemanding, at 7.5 times next year's earnings' estimate. The Korean-listed shares traded Friday at 1.302 million won, about $1,200; its unsponsored American depositary receipts are thinly traded.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POST-PC world is the cloud. On route 101 in Silicon Valley, Wal-Mart has posted signs reading "WALMART DATA," offering jobs to engineers in its San Bruno labs. That's a sign of just how mainstream it's become for companies to sift through enormous amounts of information.
Wal-Mart's quest, and others like it, are changing the very nature of data, says Paul Saffo, a tech pundit who runs Discern Analytics, a big-data outfit in Silicon Valley.
Big data ultimately will redefine the database. To track customer information and behavior in real time, and to respond to it instantaneously, companies are turning increasingly to databases that put information in the random-access memory chips of a computer, rather than on the disk drive, as has been done traditionally. Database-giant Oracle ORCL 0.3572225943290913% Oracle Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD44.95 0.16 0.3572225943290913% /Date(1490302958418-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 15628076 AFTER HOURS USD44.95 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 562460 P/E Ratio 21.404761904761905 Market Cap 184296703801.285 Dividend Yield 1.6907675194660734% Rev. per Employee 275213 More quote details and news » (ORCL) is fending off new competition from SAP (SAP), which sells just such an "in-memory" database. And start-ups also are targeting the database market. Among them: MemSQL, a Silicon Valley company started by former Facebook engineers.
For the moment, Oracle's traditional databases are benefiting from the surge, but that could change by this time next year.
Google is a player par excellence in big data. Sales of smartphones using the Android OS don't make the company any money upfront—it doesn't charge for use of the system -- but ultimately, all the activity on those phones is sending back to Google real-time data from the world that makes its searches more valuable to advertisers.
Google CEO Larry Page said on last week's call that the company was on pace to generate $8 billion a year from mobile devices. And some day, Google's self-driving car will bring the company real-time readings of traffic conditions -- another way to feed Google's rapacious appetite for big data.

Facebook defenders take a typical Silicon Valley attitude, trusting it will try a number of ways to monetize the increasing use of mobile technology and eventually hit on a solution. Firsthand's Landis, who's owned the stock since before its IPO and confesses that he's sitting on a loss, says, "Even if they hit one out of 10 products right, that's enough."
Maybe so. But all of that experimentation could cause the company to step up spending next year, says Loomis Sayles tech analyst Tony Ursillo, who also co-manages the Saratoga Advantage Trust Technology and Communications Portfolio. And that could shock the Street, which is projecting roughly flat operating margins for the company.
Amazon.com is one of the most striking players in the post-PC world. Its Kindle Fire, starting at $159, is a truncated tablet -- little more than a means for users to feed at the Amazon trough. Two weeks ago, CEO Jeff Bezos told the BBC that the company breaks even on the hardware, preferring to "make money when people use our devices, not when people buy our devices."
Amazon has overcome many doubters over the years, but with a triple-digit P/E ratio, there's still a lot of doubt to overcome.
Salesforce.com is another cloud company with a heart-stopping valuation, trading at 40 times trailing cash flow. Salesforce has new competition, in the form of Workday, which went public Oct. 12 and popped nearly 70% out of the gate. While Salesforce's software for managing customer relations is important, Workday's focus on human resources—benefits and payroll administration -- is perceived as far more critical to companies.
Hickey predicts that Workday could lure away some Salesforce investors, calling it "the real deal" in cloud computing. But Workday is projected to lose money through fiscal 2015.
EMC is a less expensive way to play the cloud, says Ben Reitzes of Barclays Capital. "EMC's focus is on the hybrid cloud," he says. It has products that help enterprises shift parts of their data-processing into the cloud, reaping greater efficiencies, while maintaining full control of their critical data.
Another company to watch is Ruckus Wireless, which makes equipment that helps carriers offload cellular traffic onto public Wi-Fi hotspots. That is important because the faster connections of the latest smartphones and tablets will cause a surge in bandwidth usage, taxing the precious spectrum. Craig Mathias with Farpoint Group calls CEO Selina Lo "one of the smartest people I know" and a skilled entrepreneur. Ruckus recently filed documents for an initial stock offering.
AS THIS FATEFUL YEAR for the personal computer grinds on, some investors probably will bottom-fish for stocks. One that might be worth a look is Seagate Technology STX 0.26660742057320597% Seagate Technology PLC U.S.: Nasdaq USD45.13 0.12 0.26660742057320597% /Date(1490302800399-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3598192 AFTER HOURS USD45.68 0.549999999999997 1.2187015289164636% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 64709 P/E Ratio 26.391812865497077 Market Cap 13285916362.4654 Dividend Yield 5.58386882339907% Rev. per Employee 240440 More quote details and news » (STX), which trades at four times next year's earnings, less than one times sales, and pays a 4.6% dividend. Seagate has a chance to shift from the PC world to the post-PC world, by selling devices for the cloud and tablets. Unlike HP, which has a similarly cheap valuation, Seagate has a strategy for this and the means to implement it.
A factor that's important for all technology stocks is what happens after November's elections. Any progress on tax policy could unleash massive amounts of cash held by tech companies overseas. That, says Paul Wick, portfolio manager of Columbia Seligman Communications & Information fund, could lead to increased share buybacks and higher dividends. It could also encourage mergers and acquisitions, putting some beaten-down names in play.
But unless that happens, expect PC names to struggle as they adjust to a world in which smartphones and tablets are increasingly seen by consumers as capable of providing most, if not all, of the computing power they need.
In short, the traditional economic engine of the personal computer has broken down, and it's unlikely to get back in gear.
