I like how #WhatsApp said they have a partnership with #Facebook. You don't have a partnership with your owner. https://blog.whatsapp.com/529/Setting-the-record-straight
#Facebook paid $16B for #WhatsApp, anyone silly enough to believe they won't rip value (users and data) out of it. https://blog.whatsapp.com/529/Setting-the-record-straight
Hard to say if #Alphabet is good for shareholders, to chase after short term P&L or drive industry changes with projects like #GoogleFiber.
#Alphabet will be much leaner and meaner, all the moonshot projects can't hide behind #Google's growth easily now. http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/25/12652734/google-fiber-access-alphabet-layoffs-wireless-internet
Yes, even #iOS can be hacked. But also glad that #Apple patched it quickly. http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/25/technology/apple-iphone-hack/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom
If #AppleMusic wanted to hurt #Spotify, just need a $10.99 plan like #Amazon and include unlimited photo sync or extra #iCloud storage.
Matter of time before #AppleMusic will catch up with #Spotify paid subscriber size. #Amazon, #GooglePlay, #Groove will grow nicely too.
300-400 miles per charge is great, hopefully it can soon be single charge for a week. 0-60mph in 2.5secs? Can we upgrade drivers too? #Tesla
#Tesla unveiled new 100-kwh battery pack, pushing the range to 300-400 miles per charge and 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37171455
Easy to blame #Apple for the prices, but is it surprising a smaller company like #Spotify pays more for licenses? http://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/spotify-contract-three-major-labels-wants-pay-less/
#Fitbit vs. #Jawbone. Can #Apple just launch #AppleWatch Fitness to take their market? Similar to #iPodShuffle. http://www.businessinsider.com/itc-rules-fitbit-did-not-violate-jawbone-trade-secrets-2016-8
Well, just like my UK boarding school days then. Buy for 50p from #Chinatown and sell for £1. #Ramen #Nissin http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37162373
#JasonBourne checks #GoogleMaps on old PC, use #Android for simple web browsing, rely on #iPhone for real time alerts and enemy tracking. :)
#Apple stopped going to #MacWorld events after 2009 with <50k attendees. Now Apple Stores serve >5m customers a day. https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/12/16Apple-Announces-Its-Last-Year-at-Macworld.html
The internet will feel cleaner without #Gawker. Thanks #PeterThiel. http://gawker.com/fuck-it-1785571359
People don't realise how big a challenge to get 60,000+ retail staff to represent #Apple to meet 5m customers a day. http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/21/apple-new-retail-positions-credo-layout/
#Gmail blocks invite emails sent from #Office365? #Google is so evil! https://support.google.com/mail/answer/69585
#Android and #iOS grabs 99% of #smartphone market share. But I still won't bet against #Microsoft just yet. http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3415117
If they strip #UsainBolt of his #Beijing2008 relay gold, I hope will he come back in #Tokyo2020 to claim it back. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3624138/Usain-Bolt-team-mate-Nesta-Carter-named-athlete-failed-Beijing-drugs-test.html
#AI is saving #Google $16m+ electricity bill a year. When we get it to save 15% global energy use? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-19/google-cuts-its-giant-electricity-bill-with-deepmind-powered-ai
$99.99 #Office365 Family of 5 users with 1TB each user, is already cheaper than 1TB #iCloud for just 1 user, and you get Office with it too!
$69.99 for #Evernote? Good value? $69.99 #Office365 Personal or $99.99 Office Family of 5 users with 1TB each user. https://blogs.office.com/2016/08/18/now-mac-users-can-make-the-move-from-evernote-to-onenote/

Big #layoffs at tech giants: #Microsoft 18k, #HP 33k, #Intel 12k now #Cisco 14k. Don't think #FAANG can create enough jobs. More startups?

Nice! #Apple bought this a year ago. Mobile can't easily have bigger lens, but more lenses. http://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-buys-israeli-camera-technology-company-linx-1429037790 https://x.com/TheNextWeb/status/764710971617271809
By 2040, 35% of all vehicles sold will be electric. Is that too late? 24 years to go and not even half the market? https://x.com/wef/status/764710662069166080
