„Google Is Developing Its Own Uber Competitor”
3 februarie '15Titlul e preluat direct din Bloomberg, e cu semnul intrebarii, e de analizat, e de vazut daca se va intampla.
Ce trebuie stiut, Google, prin Google Ventures, este unul dintre investitorii importanti in Uber + are un membru in boardul Uber din vara lui 2013 (remember Eric Schmidt membru in boardul Apple si apoi lansarea Android?).
Welovedigital.ro
2 februarie '15Am anuntat ieri lansarea hub-ului Welovedigital.ro, proiect dezvoltat de mine si Liviu Dumitrascu si plecat de la ideea lui Liviu de a avea un spatiu in care sa lucram zi de zi dar si de a construi o comunitate care se ajuta si lucreaza impreuna proiecte digitale.
Ce trebuie stiut:
– hub-ul va fi operational din 1 Aprilie (no joke :))
– fotografiile de pe site sunt demo, nu sunt din hub, noi vrem ca realitatea sa arate mai bine, vom reveni asap cu randarile facute de arhitecti
– folosim Slack pentru comunicarea in hub
– un birou poate fi inchiriat minim o luna, biroul vine la pachet cu internet, acces la salile de intalniri, cafea si fructe + acces la timpul meu si al lui Liviu. Timp = sfaturi, recomandari, implicare, posibilitatea de a investi, posibilitatea de a gasi alti investitori
– si eu si Liviu vom avea biroul in hub, cel putin doua alte nume din online-ul romanesc ne vor fi colegi
– accesul in hub este 24/24
– in acest moment nu exista spatii comune unde poti inchiria cu ora, in functie de feedbackul primit vom reanaliza introducerea acestei optiuni
– chiria unui birou este intre 200 si 250 euro net/luna, in functie de perioada pe care o vei petrece alaturi de noi
– exista posibilitatea de a avea sediul social/punct de lucru in hub
– feedbackul dupa lansarea de ieri este foarte bun, au fost zeci de cereri trimise prin formular sau telefonic si Corina le gestioneaza pe toate
Cam atat pentru moment :)
Enel si-a facut sectiune de ecommerce
31 ianuarie '15Cred ca e o premiera, pe siteul corporate Enel.ro a aparut o sectiune Webshop operata in parteneriat cu eMag.
Produsele sunt targetate pe specificul businessului Enel, televizoare cu un consum redus, becuri si electrocasnice.
Sunt curios ce vanzari poate genera o astfel de sectiune si daca eMag plateste comision la vanzare.
Content is the king, again
29 ianuarie '15Mashable, a decade-old site focused on technology, entertainment and business news, will receive $17 million in a funding round led by Time Warner Investments, the investment arm of Time Warner Inc. Business Insider, which was founded in 2007, will receive $25 million from a group of investors led by a unit of German media conglomerate Axel Springer SE that also includes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos .
“We firmly believe that journalism has a bright future in the digital space and that the business model will grow,” said Andreas Wiele, Axel Springer’s president of marketing and classified ad models, who will join Business Insider’s board.
In the past six months, venture capitalists have pumped money into online media, including a $50 million investment in BuzzFeed, $500 million investment in Vice Media Inc. and $46.8 million investment in Vox Media. The investments valued BuzzFeed at $850 million, Vice at $2.5 billion and Vox at $380 million. Officials at Mashable, Business Insider, Axel Springer and Time Warner Investments declined to discuss valuations for the new investments.

Rezultate Apple Q4 2014
28 ianuarie '15Venituri: $74.6 miliarde, in crestere de la $57.6 miliarde in Q4 2013.
Profit: $18.0 miliarde, 38% crestere fata de cele $13.1 miliarde din ultimul trimestru al lui 2013.
74.5 milioane iPhones-uri vandute, 46% cresterea fata de anul precedent. Asta inseamna 34,000 unitati vandute pe ora.
$50 in plus adaugati la pretul mediu de vanzare al iPhone-urilor, adica de la $637 la $687.
$16.1 miliarde venituri doar din China, crestere de 70%. China vinde acum cam cat toata Europa la un loc.
39.9% margine, in crestere de la 37.9%.
21.4 milioane iPad-uri vandute, in scadere cu 18% (era de asteptat ca procentul de inlocuire al iPad-ului sa fie mult mai mic decat cel de la iPhone).

$178 miliarde in cash.
Apple in Q4: not bad :)
28 ianuarie '15In loc de cifre va pun aici cele mai interesante tweet-uri, dupa parerea mea, desigur, despre rezultatele Apple pe Q4 (voi posta separat cifrele):
Apple earned $18 billion this quarter. That is more than any company has ever earned in a single quarter, per http://t.co/QwwfjIqzvX
— Farhad Manjoo (@fmanjoo) January 27, 2015
Apple's operating cash flow in Q4 – $33.7 billion. Amazon's since 1994 – $27.0 billion.

Imagine how many iPhones Apple would sell if they didn’t bend!

Imitation Game
27 ianuarie '15Un film de vazut! Cu link catre pagina Wikipedia despre Alan Turing, de citit inainte de a merge la film.
Doua despre Apple
27 ianuarie '151. Pentru Q4 2014:
To put these numbers in context, analysts estimate Google did $66.4 billion in revenue for all of 2014. Apple is going to generate more revenue in a three-month period than Google did all year.
De aici
2. Din trimestrul 3 2011 Samsung este cel mai mare producator de smartphone-uri, daca insa vanzarile din Q4 se vor confirma, Apple poate redeveni numarul 1 pentru prima oara dupa aproape 4 ani.
Enter Apple’s new bigger-screen iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which went on sale in September. Analysts polled by Fortune forecast that Apple sold 66.5 million iPhones in the quarter ended Dec. 27, up 30% from a year earlier. Some analysts expect iPhone sales to eclipse 70 million units in the quarter.
“It’s going to be closer than it’s ever been since Samsung took the lead,” said Chris Jones
