幹壞事是進步最大的原動力
看到「Waterfox G4.1.0 update reduces requirement to SSE 4.1, sets Startpage as the default search engine for Private Tabs」這篇才發現 Waterfox 在 2019 年年底的時候早就被廣告公司 System1 收購：「Waterfox web browser sold to System1」，過了兩個多月被 Ghacks 寫成新聞後才發表對應的公告：「Waterfox has joined System1」。
先前研究 Google Chrome 的替代品時有列到清單裡找機會測，看起來可以跳過了...
而這次的報導則是題到了 Waterfox 將 Private Tabs 的預設搜尋引擎改成 Startpage，關於 Startpage 之前在「Startpage 被廣告公司收購」這邊也提過了...
收到 SlideShare 的信件，提到了 Scribd 接手的事情：「Digital library leader Scribd has acquired SlideShare」，另外 Scribd 這邊也有新聞稿：「Welcome SlideShare to the Scribd community」。
信裡面提到會在九月 24 日生效：
Scribd will begin operating the SlideShare business on September 24, 2020.
另外在 TechCrunch 這邊也有報導「Scribd acquires presentation-sharing service SlideShare from LinkedIn」，看起來目前還沒有小道消息知道轉手的價錢：
SlideShare has a new owner, with LinkedIn selling the presentation-sharing service to Scribd for an undisclosed price.
兩邊簽了協議並且都發了新聞稿出來，分別是 Salesforce 的：「Salesforce Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Tableau」，以及 Tableau 的：「Salesforce Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Tableau」。
這兩家都是掛在 NYSE 的公司，而這次的併購會直接以股票交易 (Tableau 的 1 股換 Salesforce 的 1.103 股，看起來是基於這三天股價計算)：
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and SEATTLE, Wash. — June 10, 2019 -- Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), the global leader in CRM, and Tableau Software (NYSE: DATA), the leading analytics platform, have entered into a definitive agreement under which Salesforce will acquire Tableau in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to which each share of Tableau Class A and Class B common stock will be exchanged for 1.103 shares of Salesforce common stock, representing an enterprise value of $15.7 billion (net of cash), based on the trailing 3-day volume weighted average price of Salesforce's shares as of June 7, 2019.
Salesforce 想要買 Tableau 是個蠻意外的新聞...
