Welcome back to the 1980s: Vice City
We’re excited for the release of the mobile version, not only for the
amazing soundtrack, but also because this is the latest title from
Rockstar Games to incorporate Immersion’s tactile effects
to enhance gameplay. So however you choose to tackle Vice City’s
criminal element, you’ll be satisfied when you feel the action with
Immersion. The best part? Immersion’s low power tactile effects have a
minimal impact on battery life, so command your attack helicopter,
launch some rockets, and immerse yourself as you rise to power in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

Piper Jaffray Reiterates Overweight Rating, $225 PT on Equinix
In a report published Monday, Piper Jaffray & Co. reiterated its
Overweight rating and $225.00 price target on Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX [FREE Stock Trend Analysis]).
Piper Jaffray noted, “We believe Equinix will be another top performing stock in '13. While the stock is up 86% over the past 12 months, we believe there are a number of positive fundamental reasons the business will continue to perform. The secular trend to outsourced IT is not changing, enhanced by the cyclical trend to asset-light, and supply/demand trends are favorable. Equinix's conversion to REIT process could act as a catalyst, and we believe the company is set up for continued positive estimate revisions. We are re-iterating our Overweight rating, and consider Equinix to be a top idea within our coverage universe.”
