#Apple's worst result was losing over a billion a year in the 90s. Today, announcing a profit well above 10 billion a quarter is failure.
Everyone is talking up how #Apple will announce its worst quarterly results today, etc. Claiming that #iPhone is dead, etc. How original.
There are many reasons why #Woz isn't at #Apple now and no one there wants him back. 50% corporate tax? He obviously has no business sense!
#Microsoft giving away 1 yr #Office365 Personal to loyal #OneDrive users is a smart free trial period to get more subscribers in the future.
Did #Google buy #Nest or Fadell? They wanted a head of hardware with style, but couldn't get Jony so they got Tony? http://recode.net/2016/03/30/nest-2015-sales-budget/
How worried should tech #startups be? Will this be a global thing? More unicorns to disappear? http://fortune.com/2016/03/28/there-were-no-tech-ipos-in-q1/
When will Tony Fadell leave #Google? (Alphabet or Nest, whatever you want to call where he is now.) http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/29/technology/dropcam-nest-greg-duffy/index.html
Pricing isn't just about the cost to make the product! It's more about the perceived value.

#Oculus Rift is finally here after 3.5 years since their kickstarter success. Their competitors have been working hard too.
For phones, advertise with "if you don't have an #iPhone", etc. But with watches, I don't want to be wearing the same watch as the next guy.
"There are so many people working so hard and achieving so little."- #AndyGrove RIP
Here is the twist, Chinese-owned American company #Segway got the US ITC to ban mostly Chinese hoverboard imports. http://gizmodo.com/us-officially-bans-hoverboard-imports-1765273203
#Apple starting to use twitter for official support. Better for PR? Have they created new tools to manage these?
#IBM cutting a third of its US workshop? Is it really moving to a cloud model? Watch out #AWS and #Rackspace, IBM can do a smarter cloud.
Can #Facebook at Work compete with #LinkedIn? Can work place social mix well with personal network? How about #Tinder for work?
#Starbucks to finally open in Milan, Italy after about 30 years. Any #PizzaHut yet? http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/28/news/companies/starbucks-italy-coffee-shop/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom
#TimCook spent so long to set the scene about the global economic climate, only for most "analysts" and "journalists" to ignore.
#Google paid 1 billion dollars to #Apple for search, that's cheap. They can't afford to repeat the same screw-up as the deal with maps.
If #iPad and #iPhone are the new norm for business execs, wait until they try out the #iPadPro. It's much more than just a bigger iPad!

To #Microsoft, more than 110M people have already upgraded to #Win10 after many months is already a great result, #iOS beats that in days.
Buying apple.car and http://apple.auto doesn't mean #Apple will launch a car anytime soon.
Of course #YouTubeRed competes with #Netflix, #Amazon, etc. Wait till they compete with Warner Bros, Disney, etc. http://gizmodo.com/report-youtube-red-might-become-more-of-a-netflix-comp-1745882116
#Alibaba breaks record again. They can probably still do it for a few more years as mobile internet access continue to grow.
#Google restructuring to Alphabet too confusing? Or can't trust #Reuters to check facts? #Youtube is part of Google. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/21/us-alphabet-youtube-subcription-idUSKCN0SF2KO20151021
Would you pay $12 per user per month for #Evernote Business or $12.5 per user per month for Microsoft #Office365 Business Premium?
6.5m paid subscribers to #AppleMusic is not bad, considering it took #Spotify 9 years to build up to 20m paid subscribers.
#TagHeuer CEO is still in denial about competitive landscape. How many friends do you know who wears a Tag over US$2000?
#Apple new magic keyboard, mouse and trackpad is at least 50% more expensive than best #Microsoft, which is already way more than #Logitech.
Dell + EMC, I just can't see how they can be cool again... #Dellemc
