Today's Story Highlights

Nintendo Scotches Android Console Rumor
Nintendo not only has embraced the idea of releasing its iconic
intellectual properties for mobile devices, but also is planning to base
its next videogame console on a version of the Android operating system,
according to a Japanese-language business publication. The publication
claimed an inside source revealed that Nintendo's next console, code
named "NX," will run on Android.

Intel Buys Altera to Fulfill Moore's Law Promise
Intel has announced that it will acquire Altera, which makes field-
programmable gate array technology, in an all-cash transaction valued at
approximately $16.7 billion. Intel will pay $54 a share. The deal paves
the way for Intel to develop new classes of products in the data center
and Internet of Things market segments. Altera's share price jumped
nearly 6 percent to close at $51.68 on Monday.

Docker and Containers: An Ecosystem in Motion
The community around Docker and containers is drawing interest from
large enterprise and service provider end users, as well as involvement
from dozens of vendors, including those pursuing various container
alternatives. 451 Research has published some new research and analysis
on this nascent open source software community in its latest long-format
report.

Message for Marketers: Always Be Engaging
In sales, we know customer retention is critical for success in the
subscription economy. For many tech companies in the SaaS space, it
takes three years to break even. In insurance, which has toiled in the
subscription economy for more than a century, the average break-even
time is an incredible seven years. Because of that, sales compensation
is starting to change.

The Painful Persistence of Ad Injections
Some of those annoying ads that pop up when you visit a site on the Web
or do a search may be served up by, for want of a better word,
"hijackers." They use binaries, extensions, or network ISPs to modify a
page's content to insert or replace ads with or without the user's
consent. It's called "ad injection," and the problem is extensive. The
problem begins with software infecting users' browsers.
