Total revenue for the quarter rose by 19% to $424m and GAAP net income rose to $45.4m from $12.2m in the same period a year before.
In a statement, CEO Dave DeWalt said that it had benefited from the acquisition of Secure Computing, cutting costs and the continued demand for its products.
He also hinted that it would continue a strategy of acquisitions to support its growth ambitions.
DeWalt added that it had gained market share for the past seven quarters and aimed to continue to grow its portion of the industry.
“This is the time for McAfee to grow and to take market share. We believe we have the financial resources, the team, the product leadership, the go-to-market strategy, the partner eco-system and the global brand to compete effectively and win,” he said.
Unlike most other vendors DeWalt was happy to provide some ideas of where the company was headed for the rest of the year.
He said it was going to improve non-GAAP operating margin by integrating the investments it made last year and by continuing to keep the pressure on cutting costs, which included a hiring freeze and tightening the screw on travel expenses.
Ready to cause a stir? The new Yaris has a bold new face.
South Africa will be getting the European model, pictured here.
The new front end has a distinctive cross shape.
The new Japanese-market Yaris has a more conservative front end.
Toyota has yet to release rear-end pictures of the European Yaris, but it should be similar to the Japanese model, pictured here.
Interior of the Japanese-spec Yaris.
Toyota's Yaris has just been given a midlife makeover, although the facelifts differ depending on the region in which they will be sold.
While Japan and other markets receive a more conservative front end, South Africa will be getting the European version - which has a more radical face inspired by the new Aygo.
Here Toyota aimed to create a more emotional appeal with a daring new front end that sports a large lower intake that runs into the upper grille to create a distinctive 'cross shape'. Changes are more subtle at the back, but the new Yaris does gain new taillight clusters with LEDs, along with a rear diffuser and reshap...
On the inside, Toyota claims to have improved the “perceived quality” and European models will also offer more colour and equipment options.
Mechanical changes are limited to a revised suspension set-up that aims to improve ride and road holding and measures to reduce noise levels.
The engine range continues as before, offering a choice between 51kW 1-litre and 73kW 1.3-litre petrol engines and a 74kW petrol-electric hybrid.
More details on the new Yaris will be made available closer to launch, which takes place during the second quarter of this year in South Africa's case.
2015 Camry: does it make a statement?
The UK’s practice of detaining asylum seekers needs ‘a root and branch review’. These were the words of the Independent Asylum Commission, a coalition which aimed to take ‘a fresh and impartial look’ at the UK asylum system and make ‘credible recommendations for reform’. That was in 2008, six years ago. Since then, the...
In the first half of 2014, we have been greeted with numerous disturbing events. Christine Case died in Yarl’s Wood in March, Bruno dos Santos passed away in the Verne, UK’s newest pseudo-immigration detention centre, in June and the recent inquest into the death of American tourist Brian Dalrymple in Harmondsworth fou...
Since 2008 when the Commission produced its final report, there have been other major changes to the detention estate, including the opening of Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre in 2011, the closure of Oakington in 2010 and Lindholme in 2012, the Coalition Government’s pledge to end the detention of children and t...
The Parliamentary inquiry launched today picks up the baton left by the Independent Asylum Commission. The inquiry is jointly led by the All Party Parliamentary Groups on Refugees and Migration, and marks the first dedicated Parliamentary inquiry into the impact and implications of the use of immigration detention. It ...
Appropriately, the inquiry goes beyond the scope of the Commission and looks into detention of not only asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers but also other irregular migrants who are caught up in the detention system. And most crucially, its ambition is to look at detention as a whole.
This is not the first time politicians have shown some interest in aspects of immigration detention. Before the last general election, John Bercow MP, Lord Dubs and Evan Harris MP produced a paper on alternatives to detention for children in 2006, followed by an investigation by the Home Affairs Select Committee into d...
While these sparks of parliamentary activities trigger some interest, no attempt has been made to join these dots and turn them into a political concern worthy of proper political debate. These parliamentary activities tended to focus on specific aspects of immigration detention while creating the impression that every...
This is an uncomfortable question that most politicians would probably rather not deal with in public, particularly when getting involved with anything that could be seen to be promoting immigrants’ rights is a potential vote loser. On public opinion, we know very little of how most people feel about locking up migrant...
Because of this general refusal by Parliament to engage with the issue and against the background of the dismal failure by UK civil society to stop the expansion of the detention estate over the last decade or so, there is legitimate scepticism over what this new inquiry could possibly achieve. After all, criticism aft...
One group of people who find it especially difficult to be heard are those who are directly affected by immigration detention. Each year, we are detaining enough number of people to fill a large sports stadium, approximately 30,000 people. On any given day, there are over four thousand people locked up in detention cen...
In fact, the noble and exciting aspect of this inquiry is its willingness to hear from the people who are directly affected by detention. On its first oral evidence day later this month, a small group of people who are currently detained will be addressing the panel directly. The inquiry panel members will learn about ...
This is the reason why the Detention Forum, a network of over 30 groups working together to question and challenge detention, welcomes this inquiry. There has been a huge increase in the number of visible protests against detention, in and out of the detention centres, and it’s likely that many groups of people and ind...
Of course, one inquiry is not going end detention. What we want to see is that the inquiry leaves a legacy that will lead to long-term parliamentary scrutiny of the use of detention. The inquiry could begin the political process of rethinking immigration detention, if, and this is a big if, those of us affected by immi...
Someone said recently that politicians, think tanks and opinion makers are busy talking about what immigrants can do for Britain but there is little talk about what Britain’s immigration control does to immigrants. Now, here is an opportunity to at last tell politicians what detention does to us, immigrants and citizen...
Looking up potential domains at eNom? The company uses that data in many ways.

And this should be illegal.
I am a newbie in domain name purchases. Just started a couple months ago after reading about Kevin Ham. This article confirmed my gut feeling that registries are secretly tracking my queries and use it for its benefit.
Seems to be a conflict of interest. I think I will stick with Godaddy. Do they have a practice of buying up name that its customers are looking for too?
Just don’t use registrar portal, write your own lookup script !
I kind of feel this query-tracking thing happens in many registrars including godaddy, and also the services like estibot. Some of my best hand-reg candidates were taken before I open my wallet.
Pretty much every registrar does this I would imagine. Not even sure they shouldn’t. If you look it up and it’s available, get it. Otherwise that data belongs to the reg.
PS: GDaddy definitely do this too.
True story- I looked up “cheapfunerals.***” a couple years ago and it was available. Went to the bedroom to get my credit card, came back to the computer, and it was TAKEN…3 minutes.
I looked it up on godiddy.
You better move your domains .
enom.com just bought a domain I was searching (front running) that was available, but when I went to purchase it, it was NOT available. I looked it up with WHOIS, and sure enough, it was registered that same day. AVOID enom.com at all costs!!!
I bet $10 that’s not what happened.
President Bush directly confronted his problems with black voters on Friday, challenging them to rethink their long allegiance to the Democratic Party and urging African-Americans to take another look at his record on the economy, education, social welfare programs and foreign policy.
Acknowledging that his party ''has got a lot of work to do'' before it can win over a group that has voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in the past and that polls show intends to do so again, Mr. Bush suggested that there was discontent among African-Americans with Democrats. Republicans, he said, represent a viable an...
''Does the Democratic party take African-American voters for granted?'' Mr. Bush asked in a speech here to the National Urban League, facing an audience that included prominent black Democrats like the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Mr. Bush's appearance here before the National Urban League was hastily scheduled by the White House last week after the president turned down an invitation to speak to the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Bush has said he declined because of hostility expressed t...
Mr. Bush's address came a day after Senator John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate, came here to speak to the same group, a predominantly black civil rights organization. Mr. Bush got a courteous welcome, and he tried to defuse what was obviously a tense atmosphere with humor. But the applause was tepid thro...
Mr. Bush prodded the audience to consider whether conservative ideas, like tax cuts, school vouchers and giving religious institutions greater freedom to use federal money for social welfare programs, could produce better results for black Americans than have the liberal approaches that largely dominated social policy ...
Saying he had proved himself committed to diversity, he ran through a list of black men and women in his administration, including Secretary of State Colin L. Powell; Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser; Rod Paige, the education secretary; Alphonso R. Jackson, the secretary of housing and urban development;...
He also unveiled a plan under which the government would assist the Urban League and other groups in providing advice to minority-owned small businesses.
''I'm here to ask for your vote,'' Mr. Bush said, grabbing the audience's attention toward the end of his 39-minute speech. ''No, I know, I know, I know. The Republican party has got a lot of work to do. I understand that.
''You didn't need to nod your head that hard, Jesse,'' Mr. Bush added with a smile, looking at Mr. Jackson, sitting in front of him, prompting applause and laughter from the more than 1,000 people in a hotel ballroom.
Mr. Kerry's campaign said Mr. Bush had an abysmal record on cities and the people who live in them.
Mr. Bush received about 8 percent of the black vote in 2000, according to exit polls, and his advisers are seeking to improve that performance as part of efforts to win more minority voters generally and promote a fundamental realignment of the electorate in the favor of Republicans.
But a poll released this week showed Mr. Bush making little progress. The poll, conducted by CBS News for BET, the black television network, found that 79 percent of African-American voters planned to support Mr. Kerry and 10 percent backed Mr. Bush. Asked whether Mr. Bush had legitimately won the 2000 election, 11 per...
Mr. Bush emphasized a point of vulnerability for Democrats: a lack of strong enthusiasm in polls of African-American voters for Mr. Kerry and questions raised by some civil rights leaders about how well Democrats are representing black people.
Some members of the audience, including people who said they would never vote for Mr. Bush, said afterward that the idea that Democrats take African-American voters for granted resonated with them.
Kenneth Harris, the pastor of the Detroit Baptist Temple, said he was not terribly enthusiastic about Mr. Kerry. But he said he was infuriated by Mr. Bush.
During the speech, Mr. Bush noted Mr. Sharpton's presence in the audience, complimented him on having run for president and said it was not easy.
Remarks yesterday to the National Urban League in Detroit.
''I believe you've got to earn the vote and seek it. I think you've got to go to people and say, 'This is my heart, this is what I believe, and I'd like your help.' And as I do, I'm going to ask African-American voters to consider some questions.
Does the Democratic Party take African-American voters for granted? It's a fair question. I know plenty of politicians assume they have your vote. But do they earn it and do they deserve it? Is it a good thing for the African-American community to be represented mainly by one political party? That's a legitimate questi...
That's what I hope people ask when they go to the community centers and places, as we all should do our duty and vote. People need to be asking these very serious questions.
The screenwriter behind the brand new film, “The Hate U Give” died following a years-long battle with cancer a day before the movie’s release. She was 58.
Audrey Wells succumbed to her illness on Thursday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Over the last five and half years, Audrey fought valiantly against her illness and she died surrounded by love. Even during her fight, she never stopped living, working or traveling and she never lost her joy, wonder and optimism,” her husband, Brian, said in a statement.
Wells penned the script for the film adaptation of the “Hate U Give,” which is based on the popular book by Angie Thomas about a black teenager — played by Amandla Stenberg — whose world gets turned upside down when she witnesses one of her childhood friends get killed by a police officer.
The movie got a limited release on Friday and goes nationwide on Oct. 19.
One of her last films to hit the big screen was “A Dog’s Purpose,” which she wrote.
Wells is also survived by her daughter, Tatiana.
The former superintendent of the Delaware Valley School District will attempt to lead the Scranton School District to financial solvency.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education announced Wednesday that Candis Finan, Ed.D., will serve as chief recovery officer for the district, responsible for creating a broad plan to decrease the deficit and find stability.
Finan, who spent 14 years as superintendent and 13 years as assistant superintendent of the Pike County school district, led the district through major expansion and building projects and into an era of increased accountability and higher standards. She retired in 2012 and has served as an education consultant for Nebr...
As early as this spring, Finan is expected to present the comprehensive plan, which then must be approved by the school board. With the district’s deficit continuing to grow, the Department of Education placed Scranton in financial recovery last month — one step closer to state receivership.
The status provides the district with expertise from the recovery officer while the school board retains ultimate control. If the district’s finances do not improve under recovery or the board refuses to follow the plan developed with the recovery officer, the state could take control of operations.
Of 500 districts statewide, Scranton joins five other districts in recovery. The state placed Chester Upland, Duquesne City, York and Harrisburg in recovery in 2012. The state also placed Penn Hills, near Pittsburgh, in recovery last month. Chester Upland and Duquesne City are now under state receivership. No district ...
Scranton Superintendent Alexis Kirijan, Ed.D., spoke to Finan on Wednesday afternoon.
Board Vice President Greg Popil visited Delaware Valley when he worked for the state auditor general’s office and said he was always impressed with Finan.
Efforts to reach Finan were not successful Wednesday.
Over 25,000 eggs have so far been laid by Olive Ridley turtles during mass nesting of the sea creature near river Rushikulya river mouth in Ganjam district of Odisha.
Around 10,000 female Olive Ridley, listed under Schedule 1 of the endangered species list, climbed the shore and laid eggs by digging the sandy beach at Podampeta since Monday.
This time they started to lay eggs from the north side of the rookery, said Divisional Forest Officer of Berhampur, S S Mishra.
The mass nesting of the Olive Ridley was followed by the sporadic nesting in the rookery, considered as the second largest in the country after Gahiramatha. "The beach is very wide due to cyclone Phailin in October and we expect more number of turtles to lay eggs this time," Mishra said.
Last year, around 2.86 lakh eggs were laid by the Olive Ridleys, which started from February 13. Asked the reason behind the early mass nesting of the Olive Ridley this year, the DFO said, "We can’t say. It’s nature's wish".
Expecting that the unique phenomenon will continue for some more days, forest officials made elaborate arrangements for smooth and safe nesting in the beach. The entire area was divided in 45 sectors. Around 150 personnel, expert and local volunteers have been deployed to monitor the mass nesting and for counting the e...
They also provided protection to the eggs in absence of their mother turtles. After laying eggs, the female turtles go back to the deep sea without waiting to see the hatchlings, which generally emerge around 45 days of the nesting. "We have made fencing in around 5-km long area," the DFO said.
"The local people are cooperating with the forest personnel to protect the eggs," said Rabindra Nath Sahu, secretary of the Rushikulya Sea Turtles Protection Committee.
Besides river Rushikulya mouth and Gahiramatha, Devi river mouth in Odisha coast is also a famous mass nesting site for Olive Ridley turtles.
