1). This feels like Nielsen bowing to media companies that pay them to measure their audience. 2). Disney is on top because they have both NHL and NBA playoffs and the WNBA season started.

This is an odd IPO, to be honest. It would be like a local train hobby shop going public on the NYSE.

Usually it's not a great idea to have two CEOs run the company because they both can overrule each other, like in Research in Motion. But with Netflix's success with two CEOs, Sony feels the need to try it.

Yep. United State and Europe can have negative emissions but as long as China and India still use coal, it's like pouring water from a bucket on a forest fire.

This is a major move and the slow realization that Russia is starting to admit that invading Ukraine is becoming a mistake. And it comes after Russia tried to advance on Ukraine's second largest city last week.

I think these stories coming now are not puff pieces, I really do believe that Tim Cook is on the way out. Apple's growth has stalled, users are hanging on their devices longer and the only growth in the company is watches and streaming TV.

When a store in Maryland unionized, Apple raised pay and added benefits. I expect the CWA union to file a compliant with the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) and they'll allow a new vote. Probably.

I know a lot of people swear by this podcast but I haven't listened to an episode because they usually go for hours and hours and I don't have that amount of time to devote to that. And even if I did, I wouldn't listen because I tend to ignore shows that treat their guests with "non-hostility" attitude.
