ahaha microsoft just flat out supports it while the internet company lobby is all like "hmm yes an interesting report"quote:While Mr. Obama has a lot of latitude in intelligence collection, the area pushed in the Podesta report will run headlong into considerable resistance in the country’s most innovative companies. Most turned out statements on Thursday embracing the idea of enhancing individual privacy; Microsoft said that it supported the effort and “will keep working with lawmakers to make these tougher privacy protections a reality.”

  "The term "cargo cult" has been used metaphorically to describe an attempt to recreate successful outcomes by replicating circumstances associated with those outcomes, although those circumstances are either unrelated to the causes of outcomes or insufficient to produce them by themselves."

Cygni posted:like everything google/facebook buy up, its to keep it from the other one. or apple. that and because their businesses are inherently vulnerable and have non-existent moats (compared to other industries). but out of the two google is the most afraid and trying to protect their legacy business. zuck on the other hand realized a while ago that facebook.com wasnt going to be the future of the company and has been making plays ever since. if twitter tanks enough, zuck will probably try to buy it. twitter isnt gonna go cheap tho, there'll probably be a bidding war between google and facebook. facebook doesnt have as much cash to offer but they can afford to pay a lot more in stock. google would probably have to pay a lot more in cash (as a proportion of cash and stock) for their board to take their bid over a less cash + tons of stock bid from facebook. its gonna be a poo poo show for google either way. they either miss out on a huge property which is the most pop-culturally relevant social network or they get it by blowing a gently caress ton of cash and diluting shareholders (which is worse than if facebook does it) or twitter's management isnt completely poo poo and they start making money

their CPC and paid clicks metrics include their own sites as well as network sites. so the decline in CPC is across the board

fuzzy mammal u can redeem ur self if u make sure hangouts remains a pos. all u have to do is make sure it stays the way it is now and doesnt become an imessage clone if anyone on the team offers the idea up u shjould tell them its dumb and then secretly submit their résumé to a headhunter

Fuzzy Mammal posted:i take like 60% of the blame for it being called hangouts. when the team was split between seattle and sweden we had an internal vchat room where we would idle in the background and ask questions occasionally just like irc that i named hangout. 2 years later, welp. they did realize that talk was a better brand name, but i forget what the other reasons were to switch. they managed to convince the people whose opinions that mattered though. lmao thats epic and shows that theres no vision or real leadership and will make it easy for u to sabotage the product

and twitch is a niche site for james which will always have a smaller potential total addressable market than youtube did (and demographics and advertisers similar to spike tv) this is basically amazon buying comixology or zappos

Google usurps Apple as world's most valuable brand name, report says "Google has been extremely innovative this year with Google Glass, investments in artificial intelligence and a range of partnerships," said Benoit Tranzer, regional managing director of Millward Brown Europe. "All these activities send a very strong signal to consumers about the essence of Google." lmao vaporware is innovation

from wiki of one of the partners at this law firm Berman helped found his namesake firm in 1993. He was lead attorney in individual and class action cases against Enron, Washington Public Power Supply System, Purdue Pharma (over OxyContin), Exxon (with respect to the Exxon Valdez oil spill), Boeing, Intel (over alleged monopoly practices), Michael Milken, the Rio Tinto mining company (with respect to human rights violations and environmental destruction in New Guinea),[3] and VISA and MasterCard (in which he achieved a $3 billion settlement). He was also instrumental in the state attorneys general’s litigation against the Liggett Group and subsequent $216 billion settlement, against the tobacco industry, serving as special assistant to the various states. He was lead counsel for Microsoft during part of its defense against antitrust claims.[4] satya sends his regards

nah they're just offering up dumb ideas to not have to disclose their mobile revenue but hopefully the SEC will call them on their poo poo. once investors can see clearly that google is getting dumpstered by facebook and tech bloggers can point to it every quarter a virtuous cycle of negative news will take hold and accelerate the death of google.

the good thing about having the market share that apple does is that no one can say they're abusing a monopoly with one product to benefit another. so the itunes store being the only store on iOS doesnt matter. this is different from microsoft and google theres no anti trust law about monopolizing the profits
