Masimo.com Has Been Down for ‘A Few Days’

May 1, 2025 by Ted 19 Comments

Message on Masimo website recently

For the last two days or so, I have been diligently attempting to find out what is going on at Masimo as the company’s main website – Masimo.com – has been down for at least the last 2½ days (as of the time of this writing on mid-day Thursday)! The only thing visitors find when they navigate to the site is the “be back shortly” message shown above, along with a Masimo logo above it.

March 20, 2025 by Ted 4 Comments

Exhibit F Sonos Motion

Recent developments and reporting within the last week seem to suggest that Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) is adrift and directionless as its new Interim CEO tries to right the ship. It has even canceled its next big product introduction. Is the company flailing? Or is it finally getting its act together?

January 9, 2025 by Ted 2 Comments

The LG press conference at CES 25 focused on AI

Much like the last few years, exhibitors at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas have largely focused on advances in artificial intelligence (AI). All major manufacturers spoke to it…none more deeply than LG, whose 45-minute press conference began with AI…ended with AI…and had a lot of AI in the middle.

Savant Partners with Top Solar Provider Sunder Energy to Make Solar Smart

December 23, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

Savant app on tablet and smartphone

I first heard about Savant’s interest in energy for the home back in 2018 when a company representative walked me through the Racepoint Energy booth at CEDIA Expo 2018. Racepoint Energy was a sister company to Savant and the two were partnering on creating new concepts in automating, monitoring, and controlling power as part of a smart home system. Ultimately, the two companies would merge to become Savant Power which turbocharged the development of deeper integration and automation of energy solutions for the now smarter smart home.

Now, Savant is partnering with Sunder Energy to provide smart solar power…

Last week, a jury was convened for a special trial to determine reasonable damages in the matter of GeigTech East Bay LLC v. Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. GeigTech, the plaintiff in this case is the manufacturer of motorized shade products marketed under the J Geiger brand, an independent company owned by Savant (and which is not a party to this litigation). Lutron has already been found to have infringed on certain patents held by Geigtech and the original jury’s large damages award was set aside by the judge who found it to be excessive. This new trial was held to determine a more reasonable damages amount.

A Giant Stumbles: Samsung Chip Div. Operating Profits Drop a Stunning 40%

November 5, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

A flag showing the Samsung logo

Samsung Electronics, Inc. – a giant in the global consumer electronics industry – saw operating profits drop a stunning 40% in its all-important Device Solutions Division compared to the previous quarter. Device Solutions is its semiconductor division and many in the industry are watching this division closely, as it is a key part of Samsung’s business. But recently, the company – in a rare miss – failed to get on board with the rapid growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry early on. It is now running to catch up to competitors and this result shows they are not yet there.

Masimo Freedom smartwatch

More patent decisions are being handed down as several long-running patent lawsuits between Masimo Corporation (Nasdaq: MASI) and Apple Incorporated (Nasdaq: AAPL) wrap up. Last week, a jury in the matter of Apple Inc. (Plaintiff) v. Masimo Corporation and Sound United LLC (Defendants) rendered a verdict on a case where Apple accused Masimo of infringing on six of its Apple Watch patents.

Technically, Apple got a win…but realistically, it was a huge victory for Masimo.
