#Uber quitting #China, merging business with Didi for $35B. What will happen to the partnership with #Lyft?
Will #Nest be first #Alphabet direct subsidiary to fail? A home automation company not trusted to make #GoogleHome. http://thenextweb.com/insider/2016/07/26/nest-thermostats-offline/
If it wasn't for all the regulatory issues, #Intel would have made the move on #ARM. Will it end up in Chinese hands like #Supercell?
#Wechat is having an interesting fight with #Yidao which is backed by #LeTV. Just like how #Taobao doesn't work well with Wechat.
#Blackberry and #Nokia only have themselves to blame. Refused to move over to #Android quickly and stuck with legacy systems.
#ElonMusk should have known better to not get hung up on perfect safety records, etc. It's just showing that they haven't sold enough cars.
#Supercell made $924M profit on $2.3B revenue in 2015, 84.3% sold to #Tencent for $8.6B. #Softbank paid $2.7B for 73% in 2013 and 2015.
Mark, Get well soon! To Google or anyone else fighting FB, watch him beat you with just one hand! #MarkZuckerberg http://money.cnn.com/2016/06/14/technology/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-live/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom
Well done #Microsoft! $26B for #LinkedIn is a much better deal than Facebook's defensive $19B deal for Whatsapp.
Winners take all. http://money.cnn.com/2016/06/08/news/economy/top-1-income/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom
India is next on the list for #Apple after China, then Africa. :)
#Google can keep trying to do messaging apps, but will not win. Gtalk, Hangout, whatever. 1/5 of the world can't use or sent messages to.
#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.
