原來 Waterfox 早就被廣告公司收購了...

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...

LinkedIn 把 SlideShare 賣給 Scribd 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.

Salesforce 打算買 Tableau

Saleforce 打算要買下 Tableau...

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...
