In the wake of the recent feuds with Samsung, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been searching for it’s “other half,” and they believe they may have found it through the well-known company Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC).

Intel has been one of the leading makers on processor chips until it recently lost its title to QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM), which specializes primarily in smartphone chips. Intel will be contributing ARM chips to Apple as part of a new agreement between the companies.

According to valuewalk.com, analysts at Morgan Stanley reported that Intel “stands to gain from the deal.” They went on to clarify that “recent media speculation has been that they [Intel Inc.] could win some business making ARM chips for Apple. We…conclude the impact is likely small.”

The two corporations have not officially signed a contract, but if they do decide to work together it could be up to two years before Apple could migrate its products to work with Intel.

As of Dec. 17, Intel Corporation’s stock being sold at $20.57, up 0.21 percent, and in after hours trading it was up 0.29 percent. Apple Inc. stocks have gone up 1.77 percent to sell at $518.83, and in after hours trading it went up 0.32 percent.

Netflix aims a hard-hitting blow at pay-TV site Starz after obtaining the rights to stream Walt Disney Studio films starting in 2016. The three-year contract will put Netflix in the running with other well-known pay-TV sites, such as HBO and Showtime.

On top of Disney, Netflix has also gained the rights to both Pixar and Marvel films. Luckily, Disney fans may not have to wait four years until seeing their favorite animated classics.

Netflix has been given the non-exclusive rights to add certain movies as soon as possible, which include titles such as “Dumbo,” “Pocahontas” and “Alice In Wonderland,” according to LA Times.

While it may seem unclear exactly how much Netflix will benefit from the addition of these timeless classics, Disney is seeing immediate effects. Reuters reported that Disney will be collecting a grand total of $350 million per year from Netflix.

Along with the future movie additions, the site is also working on a variety of television series all their own. This includes an original thriller titled “Lilyhammer.”

“Lilyhammer” is about an ex-mobster who checks himself into a witness protection program in Norway, and it will star the “Sopranos” actor Steven Van Zandt as the ex-mobster.

With Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and a variety of original new series a part of their 2016 line-up, it is only a matter of time before Netflix is seeing the benefits of their new contract.

First Powerball winner steps forward, mystery man could be second

On Nov. 28, the Powerball jackpot was a record $588 million, making it the largest Powerball jackpot in U.S. history. Lottery officials told multiple sources that only two tickets had the matching jackpot numbers. The winning numbers are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.

Lottery officials also told the public that the two winners came from Phoenix and Missouri. The stores in question were Trex Mart convenience store in Dearborn, Mo., and 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills, Az.

Until yesterday, the two winners had remained anonymous. This changed on Nov. 30, when the Dearborn, Mo., winner stepped forward to claim their half of the Powerball jackpot.

At the Trex Mart convenience store in Dearborn, the first lucky winners, Mark and Cindy Hill, could not be more thrilled to claim their half of the lottery.

“I keep thinking this is a dream. Wake up you know, because it’s just hard to imagine,” said Shirley Hill, mother of Mark, to Fox 6 reporters in Springfield, Mo.

The second suspected winner was found roughly 2,000 miles from Arizona in Upper Marlboro, MD. While there has been no official confirmation the ticket is real, NBC News reported that multiple sources confirmed it was in fact a legitimate ticket from Arizona.

Arizona lottery officials also stated that in order for the ticket to be redeemed for the cash prize, it must be done in Arizona.

Even though Mark and Cindy are reaping the benefits of their newly acquired fortune, approximately 9 million other players cashed in prizes that ranged from a couple dollars to one million dollars.

This should not come as a surprise, because with the largest Powerball jackpot the lottery has ever seen, the amount of tickets sold were sure to shatter records. According to ABC News, lottery tickets were sold at an astonishing rate of 130,000 per minute the week of the multi-million jackpot. This is almost six times the amount sold during any of the previous weeks.

Both stores that won the winning tickets will also be receiving a reward of their own. The Trex Mart in Dearborn, and the 4 Sons Food store in Fountain Hills will be receiving $50,000 for the two winning tickets.

The jackpot had rolled over 16 consecutive times before finding the two jackpot winners. Now that the winning tickets have been bought, the jackpot will reset itself at the minimum amount for the next drawing.

Extreme Couponers vs. Retailers

March 07, 2012   Kyana Bell   44 Comments

Extreme couponing is so extreme, it has its own television show. If you’ve seen this show or witnessed extreme couponing in action, you know that people: pay hundreds of dollars less than what they would have paid without the coupon, get their items free of charge, or instead owing the store money, the store owes them.

Couponing mostly takes place at drugstore chains and supermarkets because they off the broadest selection of coupons. This is also a couponers’ store of choice because they stock staples like food and toilet paper, which are non-negotiable purchases.

Frankly, this new fad is angering many store chains. They’re now putting limits on how much coupons can save you.

Matthew Tilley, director of marketing for coupon processing firm Inmar says, “A growing number of retailers are creating new policies or are enforcing their existing coupon policies more stringently.”

Food Lion has stopped allowing customers to combine digital coupons and manufacture paper coupon to decrease the price of a single item, also known as “stacking” at some locations.

Kroger, the biggest U.S. supermarket chain has also restricted “stacking” to customers.

“With the growing popularity of digital coupons, mobile apps and manufacturers producing coupons valued at more than 50 cents, we feel it’s an ideal time to test out a new money saving program and discontinue double/triple,” said supermarket chain in a press statement.

Drugstores have enforced policies to prevent extreme shoppers from clearing their shelves.

At Walgreens “management reserves the right to limit quantity of items purchased,” Tilley says.

During a press statement, Rite Aid affirmed that they “may accept up to four identical coupons for the same number of qualifying items as long as there is sufficient stock to satisfy other customers.”

America’s biggest discounters have taken a stand in the trend.

Target has now changed their coupon policies by stating two buy-one-get-one-free coupons can’t be combined to make both items free.

Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, allows “only original copies of print-at-home coupons will be accepted in its stores,” Tilley says.
