U.S. stocks traded lower Wednesday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 31 points to 11988, the Standard & Poor's 500 slipped 8 points to 1286 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 16 points to 2668. Among the companies whose shares are actively trading in the session are Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE), Jabil Circuit Inc. (JBL) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC).

Adobe Systems' ($31.37, -$1.51, -4.59%) fiscal first-quarter earnings grew 84% on especially strong product and services revenue, although the software maker warned of weakness in the current quarter as a result of business uncertainty in Japan.

Jabil Circuit's ($20.91, +$1.98, +10.46%) fiscal second-quarter bottom line climbed 86%, and the contract electronics manufacturing company's core profit trumped its own upbeat guidance as sales rose. Shares gained as Jabil also predicted stronger-than-expected results in the current quarter.

The Federal Reserve rejected a plan by Bank of America ($13.52, -$0.36, -2.59%) to "modestly" increase its dividend this year, a potential setback for the nation's biggest bank in its attempt to regain its footing.

Discover Financial Services (DFS, $22.80, +$0.55, +2.47%) reported it swung to a fiscal first-quarter profit as spending on its cards continued to rise and it set aside less to cover loan losses.

Cintas Corp. (CTAS, $29.29, +$1.15, +4.09%) said Tuesday its fiscal third-quarter profit rose 21% on strong sales from the company's business services segment, continuing a trend of rebounding revenue. The results sharply beat Wall Street estimates.

UBS raised its stock-investment rating on AOL Inc. (AOL, $19.39, +$0.42, +2.21%) to buy from neutral, saying web traffic stabilization combined with deeper ad monetization could be near-term catalysts. Expect continued declines in AOL's subscription business, the firms said, but buy for premium-content and high-quality ads strategy.

Best Indoor Exercise

Best Indoor Exercise - There are several indoor exercises you can do to keep in shape. But which are the best? They can be split in to two categories. The first is body weight exercises, meaning you use your own body weight to provide resistance. The second is using some sort of equipment. There are pros and cons to both. The biggest advantage to doing body weight exercises is they can be done anywhere. Whether you're on holiday, travelling for work, or if you just want a quick exercises to do. There are quite a few body weight exercises that can be done. If you wish to work out your abdominal muscles, sit ups or crunches are a good one.

Kinect Review

Kinect Review - First presented to the world as Project Natal at E3 2009, Microsoft's Kinect sensor peripheral has since been positioned by the software (and hardware) giant as the next phase of Xbox 360's evolution as a platform. A combination of hardware and software, it's been billed as a means for users to interact with their consoles and play games without using a physical controller, using natural gestures, voice commands and face recognition. I've had a final retail Kinect unit at home for a little over a week now, and have had ample time to put the shiny new gadget through its paces. Is it as magical as expected? Will it transform gaming? Or, more importantly, does it even work? Read on past the break for my in-depth review of this ambitious apparatus. Kinect is a single piece of hardware, yet it incorporates several distinct technologies.
