Fra Cupcake til Jelly Bean, Android fått søtere hver versjon.

Android, åpen kildekode operativsystem for telefoner / tabletter, har blitt veldig godt kjent for sine utrolig søte versjon kallenavn – hver versjon er oppkalt etter en dessert, og de går alfabetisk.

Så mye for børsnoteringer

As you probably remember, the professional networking (no other way to describe it) side Linkedin went public in May under the symbol LNKD. Its IPO (initial public offering, or first release of shares in the stock market) was valued $45 per share. Later that day, LinkedIn shares were trading at $122.

Microsoft buys Skype

Skype logoMicrosoft has bought the popular IM/voice chat application Skype (vel, not just the product, the whole company) for $8.5 billion, making it Microsoft’s largest purchase ever. I find that a little funny since Skype actually made a loss of $7 million last year.
