Random Sampler: Microsoft vs. Google, SugarCRM, Flock gets funded (?!?), Ubuntu, and more
Posted by: admin in Business and PoliticsThere are a number of interesting tidbits floating around the web this morning. Among the best:
- The VAR Guy compares Google’s impressive growth against Microsoft’s and comes to this conclusion: “[S]orry, Microsoft bashers: The software giant isn’t collapsing.” Potty.
- Flock raised another $15 million in a Series D round. Why is anyone still funding this paltry Firefox feature? Flock claims that it gets paid for search placement, but given its niche following, who cares?
- The Guardian spoke with Ubuntu’s Mark Shuttleworth about a wide range of things, from how he hires to the changing desktop market. On this latter point, Mark said, “[P]eople are increasingly defining the desktop as the thing that they get access to the internet from. In that case, there’s a real possibility that we’re able to shift people onto different platforms.” Like Ubuntu, of course.
