In addition, recent research from Furturesource Consulting claims internet-connected televisions are predicted to make up 90% of the TV market in the UK by 2014.

AOL is expected to surpass its quarterly earnings forecast, thanks to gains made in display advertising sales, according to analysts at financial firm UBS.

The much-maligned media company is to report revenues of $532m (£340m) this quarter, rather than the predicted $525m (£335m). The boost comes from year-over-year growth of its domestic display sales, up 21% for the quarter.

Things seem to be going from bad to worse for Blackberry after its humongous PR failure following its outage news reaches us that the outage is continuing to spread.

CNN reports that the “outage now impacting users on almost every planet”. This could be terrible for Blackberry as those Klingons can be very tricky customers. I bet the Emperor has a Blackberry he’ll be going spare on Coruscant.
