The Daddy Of The Macs
Less than 8 months after releasing Macintosh Workstation, the Mac Pro, Apple Inc has further raised the bar and added a new member to the Mac Pro family, the world’s first 3.0GHz, 8-core Intel Xeon-based Mac Pro.
Remember, the Mac Pro is still available in a quad-core, which can be run at 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz [...]
TechCrunch Hires An M&A Specialist As CEO - Why?
Om Malik has just broken the news that Heather Harde, senior vice president of mergers and acquisitions at Fox Interactive Media and a Harvard MBA, has been appointed as the new CEO of TechCrunch.
I’m not very familiar with American job titles as everyone seems to be a VP, EVP or SVP, but Heather seems to [...]
MyBlogLog - Simply Brilliant!
I didn’t really pay attention to the recent Yahoo! acquisition of MyBlogLog as I very presumptuously assumed that I knew everything about the company, as I’d installed and removed the MyBlogLog code about a year ago.
However, I just noticed that gravatar type images were appearing on my comments. At first I thought somehow I’d turned [...]
The Worst Internet Acquisitions Ever
The Internet can be a fickle beast. One day you can be the latest up and coming site, and the next a site that nobody uses. Seeking Alpha have put together a list of the worst internet acquistions ever, and it’s amazing how many names are on there who were once the darlings [...]

Seems like iTV was talking to BSkyB as well as ntl, as BSkyB yesterday bought 17.9% of ITV for £940m. I think they’ve overpaid as ITV has been in the doldrums recently and I think things are only going to get worse, but BSkyB said that they believed that ITV had ’substantial potential for long-term’ [...]

I remember how excited I was about Digg when I first heard about it, and how I nearly wet myself the first time I got on the Digg homepage as I couldn’t believe the amount of traffic I was getting. Digg was a great concept when it came out i.e. letting readers choose what [...]

I read an interesting report today that claimed that ntl:Telewest are considering a merger with ITV to try and combat its weakness in content, which has always been a major weakness of UK cable, to strengthen its defence against Sky who are now threatening its broadband business.
I don’t know how realistic this rumour is, but [...]
I'm Going Back Into The Markets - Any Share Tips?
I spent most of December sorting out my finances and one of my goals this year is to supplement my income from sources other than my main job, particularly as there is a good chance I might be made redundant this year.
The ad revenue on this site is starting to trickle through, but I also [...]
Del.icio.us Deal For Yahoo!
Yahoo! yesterday acquired Del.icio.us, continuing its acquisition spree in the Web 2.0 business, which included the acquisition of Flickr. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Yahoo! make a few more acquisitions. I wondered who would pick up Del.icio.us as it has had a big ‘For Sale’ written all over it for months. [...]

It reports that NTL/Telewest, who are currently in the midst of a merger, are due to announce tomorrow another merger with Virgin Mobile creating an entertainment and communications giant worth £4.5bn and with more than 9m customers.
