Damn, this is going from bad to worse...

Nasdaq puts Apple on notice

Apple Computer, which has delayed a quarterly regulatory filing amid a stock-options accounting probe, said Friday it has received a letter from Nasdaq warning that it is not in compliance with the exchange's rules. Companies must complete regular Securities and Exchange Commission filings as a requirement of continued listing on the Nasdaq. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said last week it would delay its quarterly filing, pending an inquiry into stock-option grant irregularities.

The Mac maker said it has requested a hearing and will remain listed on the exchange pending that hearing.

"We fully anticipated receipt of this letter," Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton told CNET News.com. "It's a matter of procedure. We're focused on resolving this matter as quickly as possible."

Apple is the best known of dozens of companies that are under inquiry by either the SEC or the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding the timing of stock-option grants. The company disclosed in June that it had "discovered irregularities" related to the issuance of certain stock option grants made between 1997 and 2001, including one grant to CEO Steve Jobs. The grant to Jobs was later cancelled, and Apple has said he received no financial gain.

Among the businesses investigating their options practices is CNET Networks, publisher of CNET News.com. In June, CNET received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office. It earlier said it is the subject of an informal inquiry from the SEC. This week, the company said it, like Apple, expects to delay its quarterly SEC filing.

Not really, the spokesmen is right, it is just protocol so unless they are trying to hide something, this was to be expected. At least Apple is investigating and trying to solve the issue as opposed to covering it up and hiding it from the public.

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
