Toshiba selects Norio Sasaki as next President and CEO

by Darren Murph posted Mar 18th 2009 at 2:21PM

We needn't tell you that things haven't been going awesome for Toshiba ever since HD DVD hit the skids and slid right into its coffin, but the company has yet to lose hope in its future. As a sign of impending change, Tosh's board of directors has just selected Mr. Norio Sasaki -- who is currently a senior executive VP in the company -- to become the next CEO and President this June. Sasaki will replace Atsutoshi Nishida following an ordinary general meeting of the shareholders, and he'll also succeed Tadashi Okamura in becoming the next chairman of the board at Toshiba Corporation. If you're curious as to whether or not this chap has what it takes, check this: the man is into mountain biking, smooth jazz and golf, and his personal motto is "perseverance will open the way." How dare you doubt that?

Samsung separates LCD and television units in restructuring

by Darren Murph posted Jan 16th 2009 at 1:53AM


Samsung, like most other companies in the free world, has suffered of late. To that end, it has just announced a reshuffling of divisions that will actually separate its LCD manufacturing business and its television business into two distinct areas. Reportedly, Samsung's semiconductor and liquid crystal display (LCD) units will be bundled into a "parts" division, which will be headed up by current CEO Lee Yoon-woo. The TV unit will be joined by the mobile phone and "other electronic products" in the "products" division, which will be led by the current head of the telecommunications business, Choi Gee-sung. It's not clear the financial impact that these adjustments are expected to make, but we are told that they're being made "in response to the global downturn and [in an effort to] reinvigorate the company."

Domestic marketing executive booted from Warner Bros.

by Darren Murph posted Jan 14th 2008 at 6:44PM

Shortly after the selection heard 'round the world was made, one of Warner Bros.' (owned by Time Warner, which also owns Engadget's parent companies) own has been given the boot. Granted, this wouldn't be nearly as surprising if it were happening on the red side, but we digress. Dawn Taubin, the head of domestic marketing at the studio for six years, was recently ousted after Jeff Robinov -- who reportedly didn't exactly get along with Ms. Taubin -- was promoted to president. Currently, no replacement has been named, but whoever manages to grab the role should have a much easier time now that the studio can focus on one side.

Adtec reveals TELEHOOK cable management system

by Darren Murph posted Dec 19th 2007 at 8:51PM


We know, there are probably more cable management options out there than anyone cares to tally, but Adtec is hoping to grab the attention of those who admire style and simplicity with its latest alternative. The TELEHOOK Cable Manager and Shelf System consists of a four-foot long aluminum bar that is capable of handling ten or so power / AV cables (detailed after the jump) while also holding a couple of adjustable shelves for components of your choosing. Reportedly, these units can be mounted directly on dry walls, but we wouldn't recommend tossing any extraordinarily hefty receivers (or similar) on this thing without a stud in the background. Nevertheless, Adtec claims these can also be painted to match your interior, cut depending on size requirements and used to hold as many AV devices as you can find room for. Only problem? The $120 price tag affixed to each four-foot channel and the $170 required for a two-pack of shelves.
