Is Your Fund’s Board Watching Out for You?
The wall Street Journal -
According to its prospectus, Charles Schwab’s popular YieldPlus bond fund was designed to offer “high current income with minimal changes in share price.” That didn’t turn out to be the case when the financial meltdown hit.
In 2008, the fund’s net asset value plummeted more than 35%, some 4½ times what the average short-term bond fund lost; in 2009, shares tumbled another 11%.

Metro-style Hotmail turns up in leaked screenshots
Engadget -
It certainly wouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Microsoft would finally bring Hotmail into the Metro fold, but until now we haven’t had much evidence that such a change was actually in the works.

Apple’s plan to dominate all the screens in your home
CNET -
Apple wants every screen in your home to be an Apple screen. The company will be taking a giant leap toward accomplishing its goal at this year’s WWDC.
In just a decade, Apple has become a dominant force in computers, tablets, and mobile. It has yet to make major inroads into the biggest screen of them all: the television.
Sure, there’s Apple TV, but it has been a “hobby” for the company. Last year, 2.8 million units of the device were sold, and 2.7 million units have been sold so far this year. Though that’s impressive, it’s a far cry from the company’s iPhone, iPad, Mac, and iPod sales.
