What I shared on Twitter, and a bit more…
#Intel cutting 12,000 jobs, about 11% of its current workforce. When will they buy #ARM, #MediaTek or #Qualcomm? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-19/intel-cuts-12-000-jobs-forecast-misses-as-pc-blight-takes-toll
#SAP is so out of touch. After totally missing mobile and cloud wave, they are trying to make “Digital” cool again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6GfbsAuVGc
What’s your top 3 #WWDC16 wishes? Mine are NFC framework, iCloud Kitura, iMessage on iCloud with API. #WWDC16WishList
#iPhone #TouchID usage is at 89 percent. I wonder how much time #Android users are still wasting on drawing unlock patterns.
Average #iPhone user unlocks 80 times per day. Let’s assume that #TouchID saves just 1 sec each time, that’s over 8 hours saved each year!
#QuickOffice was a great mobile office suite, can be used offline and compatible with many formats. #Google bought and killed it. #donoevil
#GoogleDocs is not a true competitor to #Office365. Any business exec travel to China with GoogleDocs can’t use the apps offline.
#Microsoft might be slow and late to move #Office to the cloud, but nobody took advantage and Office is still the best productivity suite.
#Microsoft giving away 1 yr #Office365 Personal to loyal #OneDrive users is a smart free trial period to get more subscribers in the future.
It’s funny how #USB Implementers Forum still treats security as an after-thought. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160412005983/en/USB-3.0-Promoter-Group-Defines-Authentication-Protocol
I am excited about various #opensource projects from #Facebook. Opening up messenger platform is also interesting, driving up Chat Commerce.
#F82016 #Facebook’s 10 years roadmap is nothing new, it’s just about more ways for people to connect and share using their platform.
