Today's Story Highlights

Internet's Crowds Stunting Its Growth: Trends Report
More than half the world's population -- 3.8 billion people -- have
access to the Internet and that may not be a good thing for business,
according to digital savant Mary Meeker's Internet Trends 2019 report.
Global Internet user growth has slowed to 6 percent year over year, down
from 7 percent, noted the Bond Capital general partner. The Asia-Pacific
region leads in both users and potential.

Are You Gish-Galloping Your Business Toward Disruption?
Recent events have led to many people learning about a long-understood
rhetorical tactic called "Gish galloping." Named after creationist Duane
Gish, it means confronting an opponent with a rapid-fire series of
arguments -- including half-truths, misrepresentations and outright
lies. Confronted with such a BS barrage, the opponent may try to refute
each assertion, which is a losing proposition.

China-US Trade Tension Is Causing Irreparable Damage to High-Tech
While trade disputes between countries are nothing new and seldom are
remembered, the ongoing one between China and the United States may
change the course of the electronics industry going forward. In the
beginning of the dispute proposed tariffs excluded electronics for the
most part. The U.S. even modified some initial proposals to avoid
impacting Apple and other U.S. tech companies.

Fraud Siphons Billions of Ad Cash Into Digital Hole
Fraudsters have been stealing online advertisers blind -- to the tune of
$23 billion, based on a report from Cheq. Indirect economic and social
costs might increase the total to $30 billion. Marketers have been
wasting billions of dollars on digital ads that never reach buyers'
eyes. Up to 30 percent of ads are impacted by fraud that affects 21
trillion online ads each year.

Salesforce and Tableau in Merger
Salesforce has announced an all-stock deal to acquire analytics
powerhouse Tableau Software. Salesforce will pay 1.103 of its shares for
one Tableau share. The deal is expected to finalize by the end of
October, about a month before Dreamforce. A number of questions arise
from this deal. For instance, why do it at all? Why keep the companies
separate, and what will their relationship be like?
