It’s not a secretive hardware lab if #Facebook allows #CNN to film inside it. Try that with #Apple or #CIA. http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/03/technology/facebook-area-404-hardware-lab/
#Uber taking on taxi sector is proving difficult enough to not lose billions of dollars, now they take on transit? http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/25/technology/uber-plus/index.html?iid=SF_River
#AppleMusic had 15m paid subscribers less than #Spotify back in June. #EE added 14m subscribers in 2015. Go figure. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/08/25/ee-launches-first-uk-mobile-phone-contract-bundled-with-apple-mu/
#Apple already have great video editing apps like #iMovie and #FinalCut, just need to add #iCloud and many users! http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-25/apple-weighs-iphone-video-editing-app-in-renewed-push-on-social-isa5rhlu
Obvious why #Uber had to quit #China, they are trying so hard to keep the losses under 2015’s record of $2B a year. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-25/uber-loses-at-least-1-2-billion-in-first-half-of-2016

#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
#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
#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/
#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
