Report: Olympus In Final Stages Of Negotiations To Partner With Sony
It would be a tie-up between two giants: Diamond Weekly, a major Japanese business journal, is reporting [JP] on its website today that scandal-hit Olympus is about to ink a capital and business alliance deal with Sony. Olympus has been under fire for months, after it was revealed the company has covered up large losses for the past 20 years.
At some point, Olympus was in danger of getting de-listed at the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but it's now on a 3-year "probation" that requires the company to i...

Cyfe Lets SMBs Monitor Their Business Metrics From One “Command Center” (In Realtime)
Small businesses spend up to 80 percent of their time manually collecting data and creating reports on the performance of their services, their customers' activity, or that of their competition. It's a pain in the ass, time consuming, and Deven Patel thinks he's found a simple solution to the problem.
This week, Patel launched the open beta of Cyfe, what I like to think of as a "TweetDeck for business analytics", which offers business owners an affordable, web service through which they can eas...

Hitachi And Mitsubishi Stop Domestic Production Of TVs, Optical Discs
Two big Japanese electronics companies, namely Hitachi and Mitsubishi, are to stop producing parts of their product portfolio domestically: Hitachi announced [JP] it will end production of plasma and LCD TVs in Japan, marketed under the Wooo brand, by September this year.
The company owns a plant in Gifu prefecture in central Japan that churns out about 100,000 TVs per month (pictured: a Hitachi Wooo plasma from 2009). Citing price competition in the TV business as the main reason for the move,...

Cash-Starved Ambient Industries Folds Location Browser App Flook
Nearly two years ago, Ambient Industries raised capital to boost development and marketing of its iPhone app Flook, a location-based social discovery application. Alas, they never got the kind of traction needed to develop a business model solid enough to make money from the app.
Yesterday, the people behind Flook sent an email to users announcing that the app will be retired "some time in the next 30 days" (after February 25th).

I’d Rather Watch Instagram Than A Movie
Last week a friend of mine asked me at brunch, innocently enough, "What's Instagram, and why do you use it?" I meekly offered the answer, "It's a way to share photos via the iPhone," and then, feeling like I hadn't done it enough justice, went on the defensive and was like, "Oh but it's really simple and that's what makes it emotional. Like in one click, I can view all these interwoven stories." It turns out he used Instagram himself, and just wanted to hear someone describe its appeal.

SOPA Spring
It's not so much that the world has changed as that the speed with which events evolve has telescoped. The rise of social analytics and realtime feedback loops means that business processes are now transformed on the fly by the velocity with which the impact of a product or idea or strategy is folded back into the process flow. Products become services, interactive streams of data and influence metadata where who thinks what about it when changes the service elastically.
That explains why our l...

While the numbers aren't out yet for today's games, the viewership is expected to be equally as enormous.

RIM Co-CEOs To Step Down; COO To Take The Reins

Weight Watchers For Small Business: Silver Lining Helps You Set Financial Goals (And Actually Meet Them)
Owning a small business is tough.

What's more, the large majority of startups and small businesses that fail, she believes, don't hit the deadpool because their ideas were terrible, but instead because their owners' health declined,...

Six Lessons in Entrepreneurship
As much as we all strive to build sustainable and stand-alone companies, we’re living in a period of massive transformation and thus, consolidation and acquisition. As a result, many entrepreneurs build their businesses with potential acquirers in mind, choosing to grow at any cost instead of actually building a sustainable business that is solvent and profitable.
GRP VC Mark Suster (and occasional Techcrunch contributor) published an article on this theme

Apple Just Incentivized Every College Kid To Get An iPad. As For High Schoolers…
As I watched Apple's iBooks event in New York City last week, my mind began to race about the ramifications of such announcements. Everyone had a pretty good idea for weeks (or months if you read the Steve Jobs biography) that textbooks would be a focal point for Apple, but there wasn't much thought given to what this would mean. During the event itself, I just kept thinking, "wow, Apple just incentivized every college student to get an iPad".

Nobody wants to be told that their business model is obsolete. Ask Kodak. Or Hollywood. And the publishing industry is slower on its feet than most.

So, there's been some hubbub around Electronic Arts over the last few days, as the company ramps up for the release of its third quarter earnings on February 1st.

This drop was mostly due to the collective shock relating to the news concerning its recently released title, Star Wars: The Old Republic, which now has a ridic...

Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The MegaUpload Closure Leaves Users Unable To Access Their Files
Alright, Feds. You've had your fun. You've arrested some people you deem bad and seized their Mercedes-Benz collection. Great. So how about turning MegaUpload back on for a quick minute?
The United States Department of Justice seized and shut down MegaUpload yesterday in an impressive (and scary) show of force. The site is effectively nuked, which is bad news bears for its zillions of users. Sure, the site was infamous for hosting illegal files, but it was also one of the best ways to share lar...

Foxconn Responds To CEO’s “Employees Are Animals” Comment
Foxconn responded to yesterday's kerfuffle about the CEO of Foxconn, Terry Gou, commenting that he cared for "a million animals" - namely his employees. They said it was an off-the-cuff remark, similar to saying that managing is like "herding cats" as opposed to suggesting that Foxconn employees walk on all fours and root in the mud. Big difference, clearly.
The statement is below. I love the line "Mr. Gou’s comments were directed at all humans and not at any specific group."

Microsoft Girds Itself For Windows 8 Battle And Beyond
Microsoft's quarterly earnings statement didn't have any big surprises. It was generally good news: record total revenue, growth in many key sectors, big sales in Xbox, 525 million total Windows 7 licenses sold, and they even seem to be losing a little less money in the Online Services area. But all that is a side show. 2011 was a big one for Microsoft in mobile (at least, big in that they took major actions), but for their core businesses it has been a hold-steady year. 2012 will be an adventur...

Of Course iPads Belong In Classrooms — It’s All About Balance

Does Google+ Really Have 60% Daily Engagement? Probably Not
With 90 million users, it would seem that things are going quite well for Google+. Those numbers don't mean much without context, though. Google+'s Vic Gundotra seemingly providedsome of that context by posting an image that said "over 60% sign in daily" and "over 80% sign in weekly," but it looks like Google is being rather vague about whether this means that 60% and 80% of Google+'s total users sign into Google+ or if they sign into Google (or if it means something completely different inste...

This makes sense, as Google wanted to buy Path for $200 million before it had any users. Pinteres...

In the video, a guy goes around rating things like parking meters, hiding spots, ice cubes, and a beer in the alley that was left in the sun (F-, if you're curious). The video was meant to be a parody of our mobile/social app obsession, and perhaps our culture's tendency towards...
