Sun stops shining on E Ink Holdings: company reports first loss in two years

Sun stops shining on E Ink Holdings: company reports first loss in two years

E Ink Holdings made a loss of over $25 million last quarter, despite supplying its backlight-free panels to popular e-readers like the Kindle and the Nook. Why the poor showing after ten quarters of solid money-making? The company's accountants blame "off-season effects" and "inventory adjustments" by customers, which may simply be corporatese for "the screens aren't selling so well." Overall revenue tumbled 63 percent compared to the same period in 2011 and the outlook remains "conservative" -- although it's hard to believe that everyone suddenly wants to stay indoors and stare at pixels.

One Direction's Harry Styles' Celebrity Crushes Reveal Taste For Older Women

One Direction's Harry Styles is opening up about the older ladies he's crushing on, and nowhere in there was Taylor Swift's name mentioned, despite rumors that something romantic might have been brewing.

According to the Sun out of the U.K., the floppy-haired boy bander is crushing on three ladies even older than 22-year-old Swift: The 18-year-old shared that, if given the chance, he would date Angelina Jolie (36), Kate Moss (38) or Kate Winslet (36). Any of those three wouldn't be his first older woman: He previously dated 32-year-old TV presenter Caroline Flack.

For any girl out there who is not one of those three superstars and is looking for a way to catch the singer's attention, Styles candidly revealed what he likes his ladies to wear. "I like my girlfriends to wear black lingerie ... definitely," he shared.

But, the romance talk didn't end there. He noted that if he sees a lady he thinks is pretty, well, he doesn't exactly have any smooth lines he likes to use on her. "I'm not really a pick-up-line guy. I don't know what I do," he confessed.

Harry has been linked to quite a few ladies since 1D dropped their debut album, Up All Night, last month — none of which have been Winslet, Jolie or Moss. However, his list of rumored ladies does include American singer Lily Halpern, New York-based photographer Sarah-Louise Colivet, Victoria's Secret model Emma Ostilly and former "Bachelorette" Jillian Harris.

With some time off before the guys kick off their U.S. tour next month, Styles is opening up about his favorite places and how he's looking forward to the downtime. "I'm so tired. It was pretty intense, but a lot of fun. I have six weeks to chill out now," he told BBC Radio 1. "My favorite places were New York and Sydney. I'd never been to Australia or New Zealand before, so that was sick."
