I should have qualified that number right from the beginning as a back-of-the envelope estimation: If we assume a 10x multiple to profit and a 5bn revenue, it results in 5.4% margin. If we just say it was a 8x multiple, then it is 6.75% It

On Windows Phone, one thing that I like a lot is Nokia's HERE suite (maps and turn-by-turn navigation). Free and really good. The hardware is good and the OS is nice too. One thing I was impressed is that it seems actually easier to d

Revenue matters, but the valuation is driven by the amount of profit. Margin in the server business must be very low (5%) and hence the valuation is a multiple of profit and not revenue.

The low adoption levels for Windows 8/8.1 are a result of their own success: you have a set of robust/reliable older versions that are still doing their tasks just fine. If the corporate world does not see the benefit, then there

What if the company, after some time trying to work a project out, decides that it is more profitable to shut the project down - does that also make the company unreliable? Where I want to get is that interests evolve and things change. I

What it means is that people seem not be as interested/willing as before in taking out a student loan. From this point of view, yes, it is not a growth market any longer, as the Chase representative stated. The question is: what will

I have to admit to have been cynical in my comment. The point being that it always take two to tango. You were in that professional relationship looking for something, not necessarily money. He must have been offering something, but definit

Then pretty soon you will be micromanaging me, essentially doubling your cost. At some point you have to trust me with some decisions if you want to be able to operate somewhat efficiently.

I hope we both know that there are more ways than one to do your contracted job well. I might choose plan B that does the task but needs replaced intwo months, than job A which takes longer to implement but might be efficient over the long

@gringofyx: it looks like you took a passive-aggressive approach, and sabotaged the company from the inside once you returned to Bulgaria. You know what I think, to some extent, you are the younger version of John, as ruthless as him. This

At the same time we can think of the whole thing as a smart marketing plot.

The statement is correct and it can't be proven as incorrect: "Legal action is underway". The domain is a variation and I am pretty sure you can't claim it as cyber-squatted. Overall, it is a pressure tactic, with good c

The iOS7 design is close the what Windows Phone 8 has. This convergence in mobile OS design is actually going to help Windows Phone.

I hope we are not going to get once again so ecstatic about free food and gym. I know that this looked truly revolutionary during Google's hiring binge.

It would be interesting to see if Dan Porter still considers OMGPOP a success under Zynga?! That flippant tweet should have not happened, considering that the sale was pretty much a very successful exit for Dan Porter but not necessarily a

Zynga might have simply bought the userbase. Divide the paid $200mil to the number of users OMGPOP had at that time and then compare it to the amount you expect to gain per user once you have them consuming Zynga stuff. Of course, this tho
