Windows Phone Android iPhone Market Share - Business Insider

Windows Phone will surpass iPhone in market share in 2015, according to research firm iSuppli.

iSuppli attributes the giant increase in market share over the next few years "largely" to the introduction of the Nokia Lumia 900, which Nokia launched at CES last week in Las Vegas.

In 2015, Android will lead the two runners up by a very hefty margin with 58.1% market share.?

iSuppli joins Gartner and IDC, which made the same prediction last year (in April, and in March, respectively).

The cyclists would be ridding their cycles from Norwood to Adelaide Hills and the race would end at Tanunda, located in the Barossa Valley. In 2011, a similar event helps the Cancer Council to raise an amount of $400,000.

Brenda Wilson, the Chief Executive of the Cancer Council of chief executive of the Cancer Council was reported as saying, ?All of the people riding for a reason including myself have lobbied our friends and colleagues to support us in this ride and personally I think I've raised nearly $3,000 this year and there are a lot of people who have raised a lot more?.

So, this year do take part in the fund raising activities to help cancer patients relish their lives.

Washington St. women lose to No. 4 Stanford 75-41 (AP)

STANFORD, Calif. ? For nearly 18 minutes, Washington State coach June Daugherty saw just about everything she wanted to from her team.

The Cougars took everything No. 4 Stanford threw at them and even built an early lead against the Cardinal before it all fell apart in the second half. That's when Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer switched defenses and Washington State failed to adjust, losing 75-41 on Thursday night.

"I thought we really were on point as far as running our game plan (early)," Daugherty said. "We mixed up the defenses quite a bit and then offensively ... when we didn't have good shots, we spaced the floor, moved to cut a lot better and tried to force Stanford to play into the shot clock a little bit."

It's the second time in their last five games that the Cougars (9-9, 3-3 Pac-12) have gotten off to a quick start, only to see it go to waste in the second half.

Washington State didn't have a player in double figures, shot just 27.7 percent for the game and remained winless in 53 meetings against Stanford.

"I just thought they came out and were really aggressive," VanDerveer said of the Cougars. "I don't think the score indicates how well they played. I just think they got a little discouraged and we turned it up in the second half."

Shalie Dheenshaw had seven points to lead Washington State, which has lost three straight under Daugherty, a former Stanford assistant June Daugherty, since opening the Pac-12 schedule with three consecutive wins.

Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Chiney Ogwumike added 19 points and 12 rebounds while Joslyn Tinkle had nine points, eight rebounds and four assists as the Cardinal extended their school-record home winning streak to 72 games.

Stanford (16-1, 7-0 Pac-12) looked ragged in the early going before Nneka Ogwumike provided a spark, scoring 12 points in the first nine minutes of the second half. She then sat out the rest of the game, finishing 9 for 19 from the floor and moving into sixth place on the Cardinal's career scoring list.

The Pac-12's top-shooting team going in, Stanford was out of sorts offensively for the first 14 minutes of the game. The Cardinal missed 18 of their first 24 shots, committed careless turnovers and trailed 16-13 before Ogwumike's steal and layup triggered a 16-2 run capped by Bonnie Samuelson's 3-pointer.

Ogwumike moved past Jeanne Ruark Hoff on Stanford's charts and now has 2,055 career points. She needs eight more to slip past Nicole Powell into fifth place and only 23 to move past Val Whiting.

The Cardinal got off to a slow start against the Cougars 3-2 zone before Nneka and younger sister Chiney got them going, both scoring and working the boards. The duo combined to match Washington State's scoring total and was especially tough inside.

Chiney, the conference player of the week, had eight points coming out of halftime and got an assist on a short pass in the key to Nneka during a 24-6 blitz by Stanford that put the game out of reach.

That helped overcome a rough night from Stanford's perimeter shooting. The Cardinal were only 4 of 20 on 3s.

Stanford also got a boost from its own defense, which held the Cougars to 27.3 percent shooting. VanDerveer, who has juggled her lineup in recent weeks, had the Cardinal move to a high 2-3 zone which gave Washington State fits.

"That's when we struggled the most," Daugherty said. "We missed some very easy layups and they stayed in it. Of course you'd stay in it when teams are missing easy layups."

As rough a start as Stanford had shooting in the first half, it was the defense that kept it from being much of an issue.

The Cardinal forced 11 turnovers and had six steals before halftime, two from Tinkle who broke up a pass in the key and fed Toni Kokenis with a long pass and easy layup just before the buzzer to give Stanford a 31-20 lead.

Washington State, which shot 30 percent in the first half, never recovered and extended its winless streak against Stanford.

Obama's Rejection of Pipeline Will Cost Jobs (ContributorNetwork)

COMMENTARY | The Obama administration has rejected the permit application for the 1,700-mile, $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline that would connect Canadian tar sands to oil refineries in Texas.

According to ABC News, Barack Obama blamed the rejection on the "rushed and arbitrary" deadline that was set by Congress. According to that deadline -- written into the legislation that extended the payroll tax cut in December -- Obama had 60 days to either approve the pipeline project or inform the public as to why it was not in the nation's best interest to do so.

I don't agree that Obama can blame this on Congress. I think this is entirely his deal and it's one that is going to come back to haunt him when the November election comes around. In a country that sorely needs jobs, this is no time to be patently rejecting the opportunity for thousands of jobs that this pipeline could provide. No one is asking to build it willy-nilly, Mr. Obama. No one is asking that we just forget any sort of environmental regulations and slap the thing down without care.

Interestingly, on the same day as the administration rejected the Keystone Pipeline, a press release was offered by the White House stating that energy independence has been a clear priority of the Obama Administration since day one. How so?

The press release cites significant progress being made to speed up the evaluation of oil and gas resources, to develop new industry incentives and to reduce our dependence on foreign oil overall. There's even a boast of the first oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico since the oil spill. It seems I remember this administration going to great legal lengths to keep production from going on in the gulf with a moratorium. Seems I remember lawsuits, as well, over oil and gas leases, where the lease was accepted but work was prevented from being done via a tangle of environmental demands and bureaucratic red tape. Those things happened on Obama's watch and the jobs that were lost from them also happened on his watch. So, too, will the jobs lost from his Keystone decision.

Video: Christie: VP run not out of the question

>>> new jersey's governor chris christie campaigned for mitt romney in iowa and new hampshire. he's with us this morning exclusively.

>> good to be back, matt.

>> you're a full disclosure guy. you like it when politicians reveal their financial situations and tax returns . is mitt romney missing the boat?

>> i don't think he's going to. i think he'll release the taxes.

>> why wait?

>> the most relevant information is the most recent. he'll release when he files in april. that's going to be up to him. my practice all along is i release my tax returns every year as soon as they are filed.

>> the appearance here is you wait until april, the nomination would be secured by that time and you don't have to worry about fallout in the primaries.

>> he already started to speak yesterday about the rate he pays. i would say if you have tax returns to put out, you know, you should put them out sooner rather than later because it's always better in my view to have complete disclosure, especially as the front-runner.

>> for five years he's been talking about his trump card which he says is his business resum?, his ability to turn around companies to handle the economy. as you know his opponents are using what he sees as the trump card and making his achilles heel , attacking his days at bain capital . is it fair?

>> no. they're missing the boat. at the end of the day what governor romney did as the head of bain capital was help create jobs and turn around businesses. it's stunning to me somebody like newt gingrich would come out with the attacks he did. somebody who says he's in favor of american capitalism would come out with those attacks he's come out with.

>> to separate mitt romney and say he's part of the 11 1%, a wall street guy, a financial tycoon you think is unfair.

>> from a guy with a half million credit line at tiffany? that's a problem.

>> in 2009 you ran for governor against then governor john corzine with ads that labeled him a gordon gecco guy during his days at goldman sachs . isn't that a play out of your playbook?

>> no. he spent money to buy -- police call office. this is attacking the core of the way we try to build and turn around companies in a capitalist system . if the other candidates are so desperate they have no other message other than to attack somebody who created over 100,000 jobs in his career, their campaigns are bankrupt.

>> let's go to your state of the state address . you borrowed a phrase from mitt romney . you said, quote, the politics of envy have overtaken the imperative of opportunity. talk to me about that word "envy." i asked governor romney as well. why choose that word?

>> i chose that word because i have been using another word for a long time which is the politics of division. yesterday i used the politics of envy. the reason i did it is because what we are setting up is people don't want to feel badly about other people who are successful. they want the same success themselves. we need to set up a system like we are in new jersey where people can be just as successful as people already are.

>> why envy as opposed to unfairness?

>> this is what the president is setting up. he's saying the american pie is finite. if you don't like the size of the piece you have, only government can take more pie away from somebody else and give you a little bit and government keeps the rest.

>> as people raise questions about wall street , financial institutions and practices and the division of power and money in this country, you do not think it's about envy. you think it's about fairness?

>> if they raise questions about practices under the law which i spent a lot of time as u.s. attorney going after people in corporate america not acting within the law that's fair. that's not what you are talking about with mitt romney . the attack with mitt romney is somehow his concept of capitalism at bain was wrong and destructive when the facts show he created jobs at bain capital .

>> at your state of the state in new jersey you said, together we have done something trenton hasn't seen in a long time. we work together. we achieved compromise. talking about compromise and achieving it are two different things. we are in a climate where congress is as politically divided as it ever has been. americans seem to want people to get their act together. what you accomplish in new jersey, how can it be accomplished nationally?

>> only through presidential leadership. in the end what i have done as governor is bring the democrats into the room and say, they are not leaving until we come to a solution. there is a boulevard between getting what you want and compromising your principles. no one should compromise principles. but you will never get everything you want.

>> you don't think president obama tried to compromise?

>> listen, i don't think the president has showed leadership. simpson-bowles, he put it on the shelf. stimulus plan, turned it over to congress. the super committee, never got involved to make shg something happen. that's the tough part of leadership. giving speeches in the oval office is easy. getting in a room with mitch mcconnell , john boehner and other leaders of congress and saying, we are not leaving here until we get solutions. that's leadership and the president hasn't done it.

>> i hate to get into this subject because you're a good dancer and you danced over the presidential thing on the other of whether you would run as a vice president yal candidate to mitt romney , will you tell me now it is out of the question, it will not happen?

>> no. no, i won't. no matter how much you want me to. stop, matt. i have said all along i want to be governor of new jersey . if you're a betting guy, bet on me being governor of new jersey after 2012 . i think it is rude and wrong to say you wouldn't do something you haven't been asked to do.

>> have you had discussions with governor romney about it?

>> zero. my job is to help him become president of the united states . i don't want anything in return except for a better country.

>> if you can be part of achieving that as a running mate for mitt romney you would do it?

>> i could be a better part of doing it by leading new jersey to a rejuvenation of america. that's what we are trying to do. cut income taxes , reform education and bring people together. what we have done in new jersey more than anything else is you have seen the divided government can work. republicans and democrats can work together if there is strong executive leadership.

>> chris christie , always good to see you here.

Obama administration rejects Keystone oil pipeline (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? The Obama administration on Wednesday rejected the Keystone crude oil pipeline project, a decision welcomed by environmental groups but blasted by the domestic energy industry.

U.S. President Barack Obama said TransCanada's application for the 1,700-mile (2,740-km) pipeline was denied because the State Department did not have enough time to complete the review process.

"This announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people," Obama said in a statement.

With environmental groups concerned about carbon emissions from oil sands production, the administration in November delayed a decision on a presidential permit for the project until 2013.

But lawmakers that support the project attached a measure to a tax-cut law passed at the end of last year that set a February deadline for a decision.
