What I shared on Twitter, and a bit more…
#Apple bashing journalists claim #Beats headphones are sub-par. Fact: 64% of $100+ headphones market, $1.5B revenue and growing. What’s par?
Google paid $3.2B in cash for #Nest & Fadell. $3B for #Beats, Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre is a much better deal. Well done #Apple!
Do we need an analyst to tell us that #TouchID will be used widely by #Apple? They spent $350m on it and they will use it everywhere!
#Microsoft, please focus on quality. #OneDrive sync taking up 4.73GB of RAM to sync just 1.3MB of changes, reminds me why you are losing!
Analysts, what do they know? When was last time #Apple made a bad purchase? This might be a music industry changing move! Just like iTunes.
#Whatsapp’s 450m active monthly users all over the world was priced at $19b, how should we value #Wechat’s 355m users mainly in China only?
Can #HDAudio really save iTunes? Or is it just about price now? #Apple did it with appstore and drove software price down, how about music?
@FHTechTeam Mike, whilst my tweet was more of a rant, I am hoping to raise awareness to the fact that security is extremely important.
@Fasthosts tech support just replied that un-secure FTP is the only way and “has always been the case”. They were hacked and won’t learn!
@Fasthosts still limit some users to only use old FTP which sends usernames + passwords in plain text on the open internet. This is stupid!
General public are not confused about #privacy issues with online services, free or not. It is just a good headline to beat down #Microsoft.
How can #Evernote fight off #Microsoft #OneNote? It is basically Microsoft Word “Lite” as a Office trojan to all platforms.
