Filed in Other Brands.

Alwaleed bin Talal, a Saudi Prince and a billion dollar businessman has invested $300 million in microblogging website Twitter. He is a nephew of Saudi King Abdullah and heads Kingdom Holding Company which is the largest company in Saudi Arabia. According to some media reports, the prince wanted to expand his multi-billion dollar business with the help of social media and thus invested in Twitter which has more than 100 million active users and generates more than 250 million dollar micro blogs called ‘Tweets’ per day.

From what we can see, this is plainly an act of expansion of business. Twitter has recently been funded heavily by investors throughout the globe, especially from a firm based in Russia. Twitter has said earlier this year that it is expecting to raise more than $800 million dollars this year. And it seems that Twitter has actually raised a lot more than that amount.bilde 300x199 Saudi Prince Invests in Twitter

Apple’s A5 chip is now being made in Texas

Filed in Apple.

The famous A5 chip which is used in a number of Apple Inc’s products is now being made in Texas. Previously, Apple used to get most of its hardware from the factories based in Asia where the labor is cheap and the cost of production is very low as compared to that in factories of Europe and North America. A5 chip is prominently used in the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S.

A5 chip is the advanced version of A4 chip which was a success in the electronics market. It should be noted that both A5 and A4 chips are made exclusively for Apple’s products and no other company is allowed to use these chips in their products.

The Texas factory in which A5 chips are being made belongs to Samsung. It is a huge manufacturing plant, nearly equal to the size of 3 football stadiums(isn’t that amazing!). Samsung has only 2 production units in the world for the non memory chips. One is based in Korea and the other one is in its Texas based factory.X ray of the apple ipad 2 is a chip a5 by samsung 300x200 Apples A5 chip is now being made in Texas

Chinese Government orders Microblogs to enforce Real name registration

Filed in Other Brands.

Chinese government has ordered micro blogging websites to enforce real name registrations. The government has given 3 months time to accomplish this task. This move was expected as Chinese officials warned several months ago that a strict social media policy was coming. Furthermore, since China has already banned Twitter and Facebook, it has to deal only with domestic companies and that means that the government can go to any extent to make sure that the new social media policy is followed.

China based Weibo.com, which run by Beijing based Sina Corp, is a micro blogging site similar in functionality to Twitter and has more than 250 million users worldwide. Since this policy applies to all the China based micro blogging websites, the foreign users of Weibo.com will also be affected by this policy.

Is RIM going to change its leadership?

Filed in Blackberry, RIM.

According to some reliable sources, due to the bad sales, RIM may change its Chief Executive officers Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. RIM has faced huge losses in the past months. RIM’s Blackberry, which was once a fan favorite, has now lost its position as it is facing a very tough competition from the iPhone and the Android based handsets.

And to add more to the miseries of RIM, Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 based handsets have reported sales more than Blackberry and it is expected that it may continue to do so in the near future as Microsoft has collaborated with Nokia and their product by the name of Lumia 800 has already hit the smartphone market.

Research In Motion’s Blackberry became an instantaneous hit when it was first launched. It continued to retain its position as a fan favorite for a long time but after the arrival of Android and the iPhone, it lost its position as well as reputation. Plus RIM was under trouble a few months back when it declined to provide the access to the Blackberry Messenger service to the governments of many countries.RIM company hq 300x175 Is RIM going to change its leadership?
