How two Australian brothers plan to kick-flip over Boosted with a new lineup of electric skateboards
Growing up in Australia in the late 1970s, brothers Matt and Pete Hill first had the idea of creating a skateboard that was more than just a skateboard. Lacking access to reliable transportation, the brothers — already fixtures in Melbourne’s underground skateboard scene — decided to take their vehicle of choice, a skateboard, and retrofit it with a chainsaw motor. The result was a “dangerous and noisy” motorized skateboard that was also “kind of incredible,” Matt Hill recalled in an interview. “It gave us some freedom to move around that we hadn’t had before,” Matt said, “but eventually we outgrew that. It wasn’t very practical.” They may have outgrown the “Frankenstein” board they created when they were kids, but they never truly abandoned the idea. Now, over 40 years later, the brothers, along with their third brother Stephen, run a popular streetwear company called Globe International that … [Read more...] about How two Australian brothers plan to kick-flip over Boosted with a new lineup of electric skateboards
Adobe’s Record Revenue Proves Successful Business Transformation Is Possible
As we watch organizations like IBM, HP and EMC struggle to transform, Adobe is an interesting contrasting case. It went from selling boxed software to a cloud subscription model in shorter order, and judging from its financial report that came out last week, it’s done quite well making that leap. First, let’s have a look at the numbers. Adobe reported a record $1.31 billion in revenue for the quarter, a 22 percent year over year increase. It disclosed record annual revenue of $4.8 billion. Mind you these are significant, but the big number to me is that recurring revenue from subscriptions now represents 74 percent of Adobe’s business. What’s more, just under $3 billion in revenue in 2015 came from digital media-related annual recurring revenue (ARR). In fact, the company added $350 Million in recurring revenue in the fourth quarter alone. Adobe reports that this growth was driven by … [Read more...] about Adobe’s Record Revenue Proves Successful Business Transformation Is Possible
Comcast VP: 300GB data cap is “business policy,” not technical necessity
Why does Comcast Internet service have a 300GB monthly data cap? When asked that question today, Comcast's vice president of Internet services, Jason Livingood, said that he doesn't know, because setting the monthly data limit is a business decision, not one driven by technical necessity. "Cable Cares," a parody account on Twitter, asked Livingood, "Serious question, why are Comcast's caps set so low compared to the speeds they're being sold at? 100mbps can hit 300GB in 6hr~." "No idea—I'm involved on the engineering side to manage the measurement systems but don't weigh in on the business policies," Livingood responded. We've asked Comcast officials if there are any technology benefits from imposing the caps or technology reasons for the specific limits chosen but haven't heard back yet. Livingood's statement probably won't come as any surprise to critics of data caps who argue that the limits raise prices and prevent people from making full use of the Internet without … [Read more...] about Comcast VP: 300GB data cap is “business policy,” not technical necessity
