Title: Microsoft buys GitHub for $7.5B
Post by: Nefertiti on June 05, 2018, 05:03:22 AM
After acquiring LinkedIn for $30B... now this. I wonder if Frank Quattrone was involved. The FAANGs - especially Google, Apple and Microsoft - are cutthroat in this race for the mighty developer. Kaggle (AI cloud) recently went to Google for a secret fee. Microsoft bought Semantic Machines (AI) in May. Oracle bought DataScience.com (AI cloud) in May. Another cloud thing was snapped by  Google last month. Israeli cloud startup Velostrata.

Microsoft has acquired GitHub for $7.5B in stock

I'm glad you've overcome your bubble blockage over unicorns. Except for Tesla.

Pundit you can sell your blog Nipate.org for a considerable sum of cash. Master salesman Frank Quattrone can get you millions. $$$. GitHub is just a code blog. Don't tell veritas.

Crazy amounts of money.
