Today's Story Highlights

Twitter Takes It on the Chin
Twitter's stock took a hit when investors got an early look at first
quarter earnings, leaked just ahead of closing time on Tuesday, ahead of
the company's Wednesday announcement. Shares plummeted about 18 percent
from Tuesday's opening price of $51.84. The slide continued on
Wednesday, with the loss of a couple more percentage points, and the
share price hovered near that level through Thursday.

Salesforce Jumps Into HR
I recently praised Salesforce for having the smarts to not get into
enterprise resource planning several years ago. It was a good decision,
I thought, because there was no upside for them to invade such a well-
established market -- better for them to focus on a blue ocean strategy
in which they went after new applications. I think the market's
evolution has proven the wisdom of that approach.

Is Comcast, TWC Dead or Just Sleeping?
Now that the Comcast, Time Warner Cable merger deal has failed, what's
next? I think it's likely that if Time Warner Cable is still around, the
deal might be tried once again in a few years after the industry has
transformed itself. Comcast obviously is still interested in expanding
with Time Warner Cable and will try this merger dance again in a few
years. This has worked before.

Today's Story Highlights

Apple Watch Could Be a Password Alternative
With password tolerance levels at all time low, alternatives to the
pesky and insecure authenticators are beginning to abound. One of those
alternatives could be the Apple Watch. Even before Apple's latest gadget
began shipping last week, MicroStrategy announced it was extending its
Usher enterprise security solution to the Apple Watch. Usher on the
Apple Watch allows it to act as a digital key.

Can LG's Hot G4 Smoke the Competition?
LG on Tuesday unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the G4. The
official launch followed weeks of leaks about the device's design and
features. The G4 has an f1.8 aperture lens; a new IPS Quantum display,
which is generally seen in the latest TVs; a body curved in LG's "Slim
Arc" design; and six genuine leather color options. Its rear 16-MP
camera has a manual mode and a color spectrum sensor.

Vivid Vervet Doesn't Have Much Meat on Its Bones
You will not see much new in Ubuntu 15.04, aka "Vivid Vervet," unless
you peer under the hood. The release of Ubuntu 15.04 for the desktop
includes mostly maintenance and bug fixes, along with new integrated
menus and dashboard usability improvements. Perhaps the most significant
technical change in this desktop release is the adoption of Systemd to
replace the default init manager system.
