#Fadell is finally out. Microsoft next? Yet another failed project at #Google under #Page. Haven’t seen any bad deals by #Pinchai yet.
Don’t write off #Oracle just yet. They’re as persistent as ever and have a good record on getting what they want. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36394558
India is next on the list for #Apple after China, then Africa. 🙂
#Apple needed to buy friends in China, that’s why they invested $1b in #didichuxing. That’s the “permitted” bet, not #LeTV, #Baofeng or BAT.
#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.
United States has the third highest corporate tax rate among 173 nations. #US #Tax http://taxfoundation.org/article/corporate-income-tax-rates-around-world-2015
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!
#Ferrari sells less than 10k cars a year and makes a lot of money. #Tesla is selling many more at huge losses. It’s not that simple, right?
#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
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/
Pricing isn’t just about the cost to make the product! It’s more about the perceived value.
