Circuit City Shareholder Launches Proxy Fight; Slams Blockbuster Rejection

Circuit City has another mess to deal with. In addition to fending off Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI), it now has a proxy fight on its hand. Wattles Capital Management, a 6.5 percent holder of the company’s shares, has submitted a slate of five candidates to the company’s board. In its statement, the firm derides the company’s operating performance, adding: “we are deeply concerned by the Board’s track record of rejecting what has appeared to be legitimate third-party interest in acquiring the Company for a premium, including the recent offer of Blockbuster Inc. to acquire the Company for between $6.00 and $8.00 per share in cash.” While Circuit City has questioned where the financing will come from, Wattles says this is hogwash, given that Carl Icahn has apparently agreed to finance the deal.

Sony apologizes for lackluster year

I like Sony, as a game company at least (uh oh). Know why? They're a company that doesn't binge itself so much on marketing and PR that they won't admit their weaknesses. Too many interviews feature journalists asking the same tired questions and the company president or developer or whatever answering with the same tired answers. If we're lucky, we see the journalist asking actually honest questions, like, 'why is your system sucking so bad? How will you make it not suck so bad?' (I'm paraphrasing). But typically at this point we just get tired answers anyway, marketing psychobabble the company owner or whoever was told to say if any 'tough questions' came up. So that's why I like Sony. This isn't to say they're completely devoid of marketing psychobabble, cause I've seen it, but the fact they can admit where they've gone wrong and where

As soon as Ebay sells Skype, I will start using them again. I hate Ebay!

Skype Ltd. has proven again that it's a healthy, cutting-edge business on its own. First, parent company eBay Inc.'s Q1 2008 results revealed that Skype's revenue had grown 61 percent over the previous year. Next, the Internet phone company announced a flat-rate international calling plan, establishing a new standard that competitors will have to match. But such positive developments don't necessarily make Skype a great subsidiary for an online-auction company. EBay's CEO realizes that too and is reportedly open to the possibility of selling Skype. The question is which company will want to buy the service.
