Dec 13, 8:00PM

quantified-app The way we do everything has been turned upside down: how we read, how we communicate, how we get from point A to point B, how we eat and how we get help when we need it.

people2 When white people in tech open their mouths about diversity, I tend to brace myself. More often than not, it seems like they say something tone-deaf, outright offensive or lacking in an understanding of intersectionality. Intersectionality is the concept that people face multi-faceted layers of discrimination as a result of their intersecting identities relating to race, gender, class and… Read More

Dec 13, 2:00AM

eyeball Reminder: Almost 90 per cent of the revenue of the company formerly known as Google — grandly rebranded Alphabet this fall, even if everyone, including me, is still going to call Google Google — comes from advertising. Mountain View’s annual revenue is around $69 billion at this point. It makes almost all (89 per cent) of that money-mountain from ads. It might like… Read More

But while universities are traditionally credited with tech invention, they are less celebrated for tech adoption — which is arguably just… Read More

Dec 12, 7:53PM

Adobe headquarters in San Jose, CA. As we watch organizations like IBM, HP and EMC struggle to transform, Adobe is an interesting contrasting case. It went from selling boxed software to a cloud subscription model in shorter order, and judging from its financial report that came out last week, it’s done quite well making that leap. First, let’s have a look at the numbers. Adobe reported a record $1.31 billion… Read More

Dec 12, 2:40PM

Dell-EMC servers. When EMC and Dell announced their $67 billion deal in October, there was an interesting provision in the agreement — language that allowed EMC to continue shopping for a better deal.

The likelihood that anyone was ever going to step up and give EMC more than the $67 billion it negotiated with Dell was always remote at best, and the… Read More



OMG LOL SSL FUD

Dec 12, 2:00PM

fud Bad enough when some scrappy little startup comes to town and disrupts your profit margins into oblivion. Even worse–to any right-thinking capitalist–when a motley crew of idealistic do-gooders sneaks into your barn and sets one of your cash cows free. But what can companies do when faced with this sad and eternal truth: why buy your cow when they can get its SSL certificates for free? Read More
