Remove the factors of AMD itself, because the tablet computer and smart mobile phone impact, the traditional PC market is in decline, this time high whether to into this market itself to have great doubt, if the future decided not to enter the market, so the acquisition of AMD will be nothing. The same as the traditional PC market by extrusion, and Intel is currently in the intelligent mobile phone and tablet computer market progress is slow, it will make them more focused on defending the traditional PC market, resulting in acceleration of innovation, then the pressure onto the AMD, the AMD is undoubtedly one disaster after another to survive. One can imagine the pressure AMD to bring its face so high with AMD.
Here, maybe someone will say, the acquisition of AMD can gain valuable patent. But here we questioned, since the AMD patent for Qualcomm has the same value, then the AMD why he did not make good use of it in the X86 market and Intel duke it out? Why to cooperate with ARM? It proves the AMD patent is far from the industry think so valuable.
Finally is the acquisition of AMD the most realistic performance. At present, AMD is in deficit, which means high if the acquisition of AMD, not only for the future may enter into the traditional PC and server markets have any help, it will drag on their own performance, and high current performance and stock price performance is quite good, is high for a future for themselves without any value of the enterprise and the bad their performance and stock price?
The above analysis, we think, because of the loss of AMD's core ability, high acquisition of AMD without any reason.

a high possible acquisition of AMD rumors in the media
Recently, a high possible acquisition of AMD rumors in the media, in this regard, Qualcomm and AMD are denied. Look at the rumors of Qualcomm's acquisition of AMD main reason, one is through the acquisition of AMD, Qualcomm can make use of X86 architecture and AMD technology into the traditional PC and server markets, which will expand their business from the mobile market at present to PC and server markets; second is due to AMD poor performance, the company's market value has very low (allegedly in between 20-30 million), and high when the mobile chip (smart mobile phone and tablet computer) the excellent performance and outstanding achievement, not bad money. But the fact is really such as the above reasons so simple? The acquisition of AMD high-pass really necessary?
Look at the first one, one is the most crucial, Qualcomm's acquisition of AMD to the traditional PC, server based on X86 architecture based market expansion. The industry is very clear, in this market, Intel and AMD war years, Intel now occupies the absolute advantage, in contrast, AMD has been struggling in the edge of life and death in this market. And not long ago announced that in cooperation with ARM, production design, ARM architecture server based on the chip, is completely marked AMD in the rout in its competition with Intel, the reason is simple, its X86 architecture has been unable to have the competitive opponents, turned to seek cooperation, how terrible the visible AMD performance.
In this case, Qualcomm's acquisition of AMD, how to compete with Intel? Moreover, high strength is based on the ARM (instruction set architecture) design and optimization, described in the X86 architecture is the layman, this means that the acquisition of AMD, Qualcomm did not have the advantage of injected into the AMD, namely after the merger AMD and now has lost the core competence as the AMD.
In addition, talked about the AMD and ARM cooperation, the formation of business is bound up with high overlap, but like I said before, because of high born is based on ARM architecture, so even if the AND and ARM cooperation, its design and optimization ability is certainly not as high, in this way, even overlapping Qualcomm and AMD business after the merger of, also do not have any substantive significance for high, that is to say if high future decided to enter the traditional PC and the server market, is also on the chips of its own, rather than is the chip AMD and ARM cooperation after the merger, this kind of words, AMD based on ARM architecture of nor high formation power.

The Facebook user growth is slowing
The Facebook user growth is slowing, while for the younger generation of attraction and user viscosity is also reduced. According to Pugh, the Internet Research Center (Pew Internet) reported that, although the United States 67% of adults in the use of Facebook, but there are still 20% of respondents completely left the service. On the left of users, 18-29 years of age (42%), and 30-49 years of age (34%) of the user, called in the past year, time spent in Facebook has declined. In this case, how to keep the user growth and engagement, maintain, or even increase Facebook users use their application time, in addition to the application of innovation itself, allowing the user to a boot on the landing Facebook is an option, although this choice is somewhat passive means.
In fact, here the industry is very clear, the biggest advantage of Facebook or selling point is that users use the service time, because only maintain time ahead of the opponent, especially the Google search, Gmail services, Facebook is for advertisers selling point, have profit opportunities, which relates to push Zuckerberg Facebook following the Home logic, namely through intelligent mobile phone your customized UI to push advertising. Although Zuckerberg in the conference said that at present there is no Facebook Home push advertising ideas, but the future will certainly be in which embedded advertising. Here, the business logic push Zuckerberg Facebook Home is quite clear, longer duration for advertisers is the most basic, is also its biggest selling point, especially for brand advertisers; second is the user reside longer, its search user personal information (such as position, hobbies and so on) the more comprehensive, this the more valuable for delivery of specific advertiser specific advertising. Then the business logic, Zuckerberg pushed Facebook Home can become a reality?
It all depends on the user. Whether it is Facebook severe, general or new users, they are for the Facebook Home UI agree? But we think, even in severe Facebook users, Facebook may not be the only intelligent mobile phone applications, possibility and the proportion in UI is to use Facebook and always log on the online can have how old? More crucial is, once the next Facebook in Facebook embedded in Home advertising, whether can lead to experience declines and the user antipathy? Before PC end embedded in their own applications and push advertising practices had been part of the user antipathy, or even attack, then to the intelligent mobile phone screen is smaller, what will happen? Will not lead to poor user experience more and give up the choice Facebook Home application? All of this is unknown.
The second is how the UI Android master Facebook Home Google look, if you think Facebook Home damage their interests, Google will stand? But also at the Facebook Home conference, Zuckerberg on Google could block statements, proof of at least Facebook for Google worry, but once the facts such as Zuckerberg feared words, how will Home deal with Facebook? Of course this obstruction more or Google through their OEM partners is applied to the Facebook. However, occupy the Android system directly from the Facebook Home UI home page to see, Zuckerberg's behavior really is too obvious and bold, it will cause the vigilance of google.

Industry speculation has been a long time Facebook in the mobile arena
Industry speculation has been a long time Facebook in the mobile arena "action" was finally unveiled. With the industry before the look of the Facebook intelligent mobile phone push their difference is, Facebook is not launched its own brand of mobile phone, but in cooperation with HTC, released Google Android system based on UI is the depth of customization, Facebook Home.
Although foreign media (including the tech blog) for the so-called Facebook Home in detail, but according to our most simple and popular understanding is nothing but Facebook prior to the application of the Android directly in the form of UI directly present in the mobile phone screen page, which is preloaded with Facebook Home applications (such as the cooperation of HTC), or from the mobile phone download Facebook Home installed user (the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note II, HTC One X) in the boot after the first thing that catches the eye and application of touch is Facebook, which replaces the previous Android system application icon mobile phone boot display. In response, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) interpretation is to "person" as the center of the intelligent mobile phone to "application" as the center of the use and experience. In fact, Zuckerberg's argument is quite a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure and self marketing feeling, isn't Facebook an application? Application of intelligent mobile phone users are the only Facebook application is centered on "people"?
The removal of Zuckerberg's "marketing packaging", but he pushed Facebook Home logic is very simple, let Facebook of heavy users become more severe; let the general user became severe; let not currently using the Facebook user Facebook, of course, all of this standard or objective is to make all these users as much as possible landing Facebook and here, the longer the better, the most ideal result is always in the Facebook account login. According to the latest statistics show Flurry, American Android and iOS users spend time in the smartphone and tablet devices in the 32% game, 18% for Facebook. But Twitter and other social networks such as Pinterest application only won 6% of the share. Can say, in time Facebook be way ahead in other social networks.

every year 3.15 became exposure table some enterprises or industrie
In fact, every year 3.15 became exposure table some enterprises or industries, although exposure to urge the rectification of some enterprise or industry, but the overall look, Chinese consumers rights road is still very embarrassed. Investigate its reason, the author thinks that, the so-called consumer rights, should be the enterprise, consumer, legislation, supervision and law enforcement departments multi-pronged, joint efforts to implement the rights. But unfortunately, some aspects of the look, seem to have different degrees of problems. In this case, we may wish to combine the 3.15 exposure of apple "cover" the apple products after sale service problem to illustrate.
According to the 3? 15 party exposure, long-term since, apple mobile phone implementation with foreign different customer service policy in the Chinese market, in China's claim that "to upgrade to repair", "the exchange" and no real replacement machine, usually of old mobile phone cover, to escape the Chinese mobile phone three packs of provisions. In addition, China's three package requirements, the main components of notebook warranty for two years, but Apple iPad machine only one year warranty, the customer service staff, apple responded by saying, this is because the iPad is not a computer, not according to the computer three package execution. However, China Quality Certification Center official website found that: the United States Apple Corp in China CCC certification, a variety of iPad product names are marked as "portable computer".
Can not help but doubt here I was, since Apple products do not comply with the provisions of China three package, not to say the problem, in this case, even if there is no problem, theoretically it should not be allowed to sell in china. It relates to a universal problem, that is when the consumer rights law provisions related to a business product or service provision and the Chinese are different, even contradictory, how should do? This may involve more should be our relevant legislation and law enforcement. The consumer law of us is enough perfect? Our law enforcement execution is really in place?
In this regard, relevant personage says, the apple Multi-National Corporation, according to law enforcement departments is the department regulations, the legal level low, the punishment is not enough. It is not difficult to see, make consumer rights law of our country in terms of multinational enterprises (including to the disciplinary) still exist, and need to be improved and strengthened. In view of this, some experts suggest, to deal with violations of the rights and interests of consumers of the enterprise should take the punitive damages, in foreign countries, the punitive damages should be several times higher than the actual loss caused loss to consumers, or even dozens of times, purpose is to purify let enterprise infringes the rights and interests of consumers pay a heavy price in exchange for market environment.

hair Samsung has been able to challenge Apple
The industry has been very clear, hair Samsung has been able to challenge Apple, in addition to its follow innovation, flexible and accurate marketing ideas and strategies and investment also played a crucial role. This has been reflected in the conference again.
First, in the stronghold of the U.S. market, Apple's iPhone, starting for the first time, which in itself caused a challenge to Apple's market effect, before the part of the U.S. media even rare to describe Samsung's determination in the United States released provocative Apple. In fact, this looms behind revealing Apple in the eyes of Samsung is already not as strong. We understand, on the day before the release of Galaxy S4, Apple's director of marketing Phil Schiller (Phil Schiller) in a media interview turned against Samsung shelling, said the release of the latest Samsung mobile phone will be used a year's operating system has been launched in urgent need of upgrade. Phil Schiller how to evaluate here the Galaxy S4 is not important, mentioned Samsung, is undoubtedly a very good publicity, but also from the other side to prove that Apple does Samsung seriously.
Maybe someone here said marketing gimmick, the product is the real thing, of course, but in the current market, at least in the contest of Samsung and Apple, equally adept at marketing Apple really defeated. Most typical proof is Joe closer Queen's design director Ken Segall has said Apple marketing department has lost the power of innovation, Samsung ad more "understanding" of consumers.
Since the innovative marketing innovative products to support, then we might as well go back to the product level, maybe someone will, Galaxy S4 is no innovation, just some flashy features to add. In fact, the development of the smart phone industry today, the so-called industry's understanding of disruptive innovation has been difficult, at least in the mobile phone product form. Otherwise why Google to show its Google Glass to rumors Apple To iWatch.

Course Apple for the Galaxy S4 marketing mistakes also more than Tucao
Course
Apple for the Galaxy S4 marketing mistakes also more than Tucao the,
after the release of the Galaxy S4, Apple launched a new round of
iPhone5 marketing propaganda, its flagship "With the iPhone, then have
the other "(There's
iPhone, and then there's everything else) slogan intended to emphasize
innovation leading opponents follow the imitation, but it turns out, as
early as the release of the Galaxy S3, Samsung is already out the
so-called Apple iPhone imitate,
so to the Galaxy S4 released, the U.S. media in the intended irony
Galaxy S4 lack of innovation, said Samsung is more like before (meaning
Galaxy S3), here, the Apple iPhone is already Samsung imitate objects.
That being the case, Apple marketing today and brought this as a marketing selling point seems to have become obsolete. Important thing is to start a new marketing after the release of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is not from the choice of the time also shows that the the Galaxy S4 to Apple created new pressure, at least to the outside world feel, which no doubt once again by Apple Marketing indirect the Galaxy S4 is enough market influence product?
In addition to Apple, is another follow up Tucao the Android mainstream manufacturers HTC Samsung belong. Its president, Jason Mackenzie (Jason MacKenzie), through the release of the Samsung Galaxy S4, I feel very relaxed, because Samsung will spend money on marketing rather than innovation, and to start to feel like laughing, and later felt very awkward until the sad these adjectives to criticize the lack of innovation of Samsung Galaxy S4. Of course, at the same time Tucao Samsung, Mackenzie natural not forget qwaqwa so-called innovation of its products. Such as that caused by the industry's controversial abandoned megapixels effect instead be called HT UltraPixel (Ultimate pixels) camera technology. For this so difficult for the average user to understand (at least contrary to the field of photography in a range of pixel values, pixel values and the photo quality is directly proportional to the common sense) technical terms, we do not know exactly how many users can make future buy HTC the phone, but Mackenzie remarks apparently exists with HTC a large strategic direction contradictions. Previously HTC to admit not lose innovation, it is precisely the marketing, which major together or marketing investment (marketing innovation aside aside), HTC this year will increase investment in marketing. Tucao opponent's strengths is exactly the short board, and his efforts to improve the direction, this is not a contradiction in this?
