The Morning Call

Business Briefing - July 15, 2008

1 MILLION IPHONES SOLD IN THREE DAYS NEW YORK | Apple Inc. said Monday it sold 1 million iPhones in the first three days its newest model was on the market. ''IPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,'' said Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, in a statement. On Friday, Apple's servers buckled as buyers tried to activate new iPhones in stores, while owners of older iPhones and the iPod Touch were updating and reactivating their devices. NETFLIX TO STREAM MOVIES TO XBOX 360 OWNERS Netflix Inc. will deliver movies over the Internet to owners of Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 video- game console, helping the largest mail-order film rental service make the transition to online viewing. The accord, announced at the E3 video-game conference in Los Angeles Monday, allows customers of Microsoft's Xbox Live Gold service who sign up for Netflix to instantly watch movies and television programs on their TV sets. Netflix, with 8.2 million customers, already delivers movies to computers over the Internet. In May, the Los Gatos, Calif., company began streaming films to TVs equipped with a $99 converter box from Roku Inc. EXECS STEP DOWN AT TWO TRIBUNE PAPERS The Los Angeles Times Publisher David Hiller resigned Monday after 21 months at the helm of Tribune Co.'s largest paper. Tribune is the parent company of The Morning Call. The news came the same day Chicago Tribune Editor Ann Marie Lipinski resigned from Tribune's flagship paper, continuing a string of executive defections during a broad cost-cutting effort at the company's papers nationwide. Hiller was the third publisher to lead the Times since Tribune Co. bought the paper in 2000. The Times said two weeks ago it will cut 250 positions, including 150 in the newsroom.
