Box powers data management bubble
Today, Box has raised a big $125 million growth round according to AllThingsD.The company is now worth $1.2 billion.
Box has raised $284 million to date -- about $30 million more than its file sharing and storing competitor Dropbox which has a $4 billion valuation. Grown-up investors participated - General Atlantic, a Facebook investor, led Box's funding round. Social + Capital Partnership, an investment firm started by early Facebook employee Chamath Palihapitiya, also participated along with two other institutional investors.
We say that the data management/storage market is way over heated and hyper competitive. now the big boys such as google, apple and amazon have entered the market the independents cost of customer acquisition and retention has sky rocketed. To keep up they are forced to give away increasingly generous allocations of free storage. This obviously unsustainable.
Its forced us to change our plans for our data management product as we cant see how these guys will ever make money on current models

Mobile's killing the news media
Michael Wolff can be seriously bitchy but this piece is well balanced and well worth a read.

Tortoise & Hare
While it will have taken the newspaper industry over 100 years to create the infrastructure needed to reach 1.8 billion readers it will have taken the technology industry less than 10 years to achieve comparable reach!

Steve Jobs
A Hong Kong design student's tribute to Steve Jobs that generated a buzz in cyberspace following the death of the co-founder of Apple last week is not original, the teenager said on Monday.
Jonathan Mak, 19, said he was not the first to come up with the design that fits Jobs' silhouette into the bite of the Apple logo. He was speaking after comments surfaced on Twitter that a U.K.-based designer, known as Raid71 on the web, created the original design in May.
The design posted by Mak on the Internet spread like wildfire in cyberspace on Thursday, just after the passing of Jobs.
It drew hundreds of thousands of posts, and commemorative caps and T-shirts peddled on eBay featured his design. The logo was even used by Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher as his Twitter profile picture.
Mak, a student at Hong Kong's Polytechnic University School of Design, acknowledged he was not the original creator of the design but said he did not "rip off" the U.K. designer.

LivingSocial - $200m raise not IPO
Daily online deals startup LivingSocial might delay filing its initial public offering in favor of a new $200 million funding round, according to a Bloomberg report citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
The fact that both LivingSocial and rival Groupon are rethinking their IPO strategies could signal a slow down in the market demand for daily deals across the board.
T
he potential round, which would value LivingSocial at $6 billion, could include both equity and debt, according to the report. Investment for the new round would come from existing and new investors.
Previously, LivingSocial was discussing an IPO valued at more than $10 billion. However, the stock market slump that began in July is causing the company to rethink its strategy.
Daily deals company Groupon has also been rethinking its strategy toward going public because of market conditions and questions of whether the company will successfully sustain a profit in the future (Groupon has yet to turn a profit since launching in 2008). Also, both Facebook and Yelp have scaled by their own daily deals efforts, reinforcing the notion that daily deals demand is declining.
Washington D.C.-based LivingSocial has pulled in $632 million in funding to date.
The company was not available for immediate comment about the potential funding round.

The future of newspapers
This is a lot of fun as it imagines what a newspaper reading experience might be like in the (near) future.

Apple on a role
Apple is on a phenomenal role right now. Revenues rose to $28.6bn in the quarter, up from $15.7bn last year, while profits soared to $7.3bn, more than twice as much as in the same quarter in 2010.
Most exciting is the fact that two thirds of the computer company's revenues are now coming from mobile devices which did not exist four years ago. Thats just incredible.
Where to next for the mighty Apple? into the cloud
