Today's Story Highlights

Twitter May Kick 300 Employees Out of Its Nest
Twitter appears close to slashing another 300 jobs, or about 8 percent
of its workforce, as it works to recover from a failed round of
acquisition talks with several suitors. The job cuts likely would be in
sales. Twitter might be taking steps to make itself look more attractive
to investors in preparation for its third-quarter earnings report later
this week.

Batterygate Will Kill Samsung's Holiday Shopping Season
When news of Samsung's Batterygate first surfaced, I think that mine may
have been the only voice saying the Samsung brand would suffer
significant damage, but the company didn't realize it yet. It was
lonely, but lately others have come to agree. Samsung now is going
through one of the most painful times any company ever has endured. Its
brand is severely damaged.

AT&T, Time Warner Brace for Regulatory Firestorm
AT&T and Time Warner on Saturday announced they had reached a merger
deal, setting off alarm bells across the industry. AT&T has agreed to
buy Time Warner for $85.4 billion. At least a year's worth of regulatory
scrutiny, public hearings and political maneuvering is expected. The
deal essentially would create the industry's first vertically integrated
mobile provider of premium cable.
