Office on your iPad, Microsoft unveils a new strategy. What will be | :00:00. | :00:25. | |
the financial toll on Malaysia Airlines? | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Welcome to Asia Business Report. There is a shift in the technology | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
landscape, with Microsoft's Office software now available on your iPad, | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
meaning users can create an Excel spreadsheet on the tablet. Our tech | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
correspondent has more on this strategy. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
This speech by Satya Nadella was the first time the new Microsoft boss | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
has been able to outline his vision for the company. Remember, a lot of | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
investors were too worried that he was too much of an insider to make a | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
difference if needed. He talked about a mobile first strategy. The | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
new goal for us is to step up and provide the applications and | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
services that empower every user, across all of these devices, and all | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
of these experiences. That is perhaps job number one that we do, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
which is to empower people to be productive, to do more across all | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
devices. The move of Office to iPad really signifies a shift in | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Microsoft's thinking. A willingness to embrace rival operating systems | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
after the negative approach of simply holding the productivity | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
suite hostage to Windows. The question is how much of an audience | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
they will find. Apple has filled the office space whole over the past | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
years, which have worked perfectly well. This will provide one less | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
reason for people to buy Microsoft's own hardware, like the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Windows tablet and the Windows operating system itself. Microsoft | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
is operating in a post` Windows world, and Satya Nadella has to | :02:27. | :02:39. | |
figure out how best to promote it. A Chinese firm has won a lawsuit, as | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
a search engine was accused of calibrating search engine to block | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
information, advocating greater democracy on the mainland. There | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
were seeking $60 million in damages for violations of their civil and | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
equal protection rights. Walmart has sued credit card giant Visa for | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
conspiring with banks to fix these for accepting visa card payments. It | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
also is easily accessible for thieves. Visa has accepted damages | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
of $5 billion over eight years. For other corporate headlights, please | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
visit our website `` headlines. There has been a shift in consumer | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
preferences in the mobile handset business. Will a new chief executive | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
help turn things around for BlackBerry? We have a preview from | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
New York. BlackBerry still has one fan, the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
president. While the White House is testing other phones, the user in | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
chief is not switching. A relief for BlackBerry, but also a reminder of | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
how far the company that popularised smart phones has fallen. This is the | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
insider charged with reversing the Canadian firm's fortunes. John | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Chen, watched carefully by Wall Street. The real issue for investors | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
is going to be what John Chen has in store in terms of maximising value. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
The one thing I like about him is that he has come in, and he has used | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
like bring not just as a device company, but he is looking at all | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
the assets and what they are worse. `` work. Touted by the former boss, | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
these phones failed to win back market share. Under John Chen, | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
BlackBerry teamed up with a Chinese manufacturer to save money and | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
produce a low`cost phone. Since John Chen took over last November, the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
share price has risen roughly 40%. Investors want to believe that he | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
will succeed where others have failed. Nobody expects library's the | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
States to be fixed overnight. Investors will want to see that | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
their faith is rewarded. Fresh data from Japan showed a more | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
than 1% increase in consumer prices in February. It is the ninth | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
straight month of rising prices, reaffirming signs that the economy | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
is making steady progress to overcome nearly two decades of | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
deflation or falling prices. Household spending fell by 2.5% over | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
the same month, when compared to levels a year ago. Severe snowstorms | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
limited people from going out of their homes. In a separate | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
government report, it will show that the unemployment rate fell to 3.6% | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
in February, and that is the lowest level in more than six years. | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
Plans to export free Sim cards to people travelling overseas for | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
safety reasons. In the ongoing saga of Malaysia | :06:28. | :06:40. | |
Airlines flight MH370, apart from being a human tragedy, the airline | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
is likely to be entangled in a web of compensation claims and legal | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
battles. It is in talks with insurers about compensation | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
packages. One US law firm has already begun court action against | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
Boeing. He was responsible for compensating families of victims? | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
And make `` how maybe tragedy effect the industry as a whole? | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Finding the flight recorders were just start giving passengers' | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
families some answers, but it will help an industry with a good record | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
of learning lessons from their tragedies. It took Air France three | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
years to realise why it an autopilot is connected before it a bus crash | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
in 2009. America's Pan Am never recovered from the bombing of its | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
747 over Lockerbie 26 years ago. The final hours of flight MH370 are | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
shrouded in mystery, and the question of liability is a long way | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
from being resolved. The families will be compensated under the | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Montreal Convention, the costs borne by the airline's insurers. Once | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
causes for the planesplane's demise can be worked out, other | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
compensation can be made. Safety changes could follow for all | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
airlines, around beaming out far more data from aircraft's cockpits. | :08:16. | :08:27. | |
The estimates have been around $8 million per passenger, which is half | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
$1 billion in all. They will have to find a court that allows them to sue | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
for things like compensatory damages, or punitive damages. The | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
most obvious one of those is the US, which is why Boeing is being named | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
already. Even then, they will have to prove fault. It is a heavy cloud | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
over a large and financially weak carrier, one that has already lost | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
over $1 billion in the last three years. Some commentators think it | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
might survive, but will see lower passenger growth. In particular, in | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
countries like China, which is one of the fastest`growing countries in | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
terms of tourism, or export of tourism, however, having said that, | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
Malaysia Airlines is in part of the world that has great fundamentals. | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
It partly right on whether Malaysia Airlines can be open and sensitive | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
as it unfolds. Some say the airline should align itself as closely as | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
possible with the families. They are a victim as well. To stand alongside | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
the families and the empathetic, to make it clear that they have lost | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
people, that it affects them as much as the families. I think that is a | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
very sensible and credible position for the airline to take. An entire | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
industry is waiting, with the ultimate cost of compensation and | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
any new industry safety or security measures depending on some firm | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
evidence of exactly what brought down flight MH370. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
As you have heard on our earlier bulletins, search operations have | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
resumed this Friday, after a suspension yesterday due to bad | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
weather conditions. We will bring updates on the search when the | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
information becomes available, right here on BBC World News. | :10:26. | :10:41. | |
