Why Google Isn't Spending $200 Million On Digg (25)
on Silicon Alley Insider (545) permalinkThe price is wrong. Digg is truly the most useless of the big Web 2.0 sites. It won't make you money and it can't make money. Its early investors and founder will make money, and if they pull off a sale, management and the founders will have done their job. Digg has tried to Digg their acquisition' for almost two years. They have Mike Arrington as their shill.

Steve Jobs Calls NYT Columnist a "Slime Bucket" (61)
on Silicon Alley Insider (545) permalinkApple lied about Steve Jobs' health when it tried to quash concerns about his appearance at the WWDC conference last month, Joe Nocera of the New York Times says. Steve himself also finally weighed in on the matter last week, calling Joe Nocera a "slime bucket." Most importantly, it seems Steve's cancer has not reappeared. Nocera: Apple tells analysts far less about its operations than most companies do. It turns low-level decisions into state secrets. ...Shared by Adi wong (28) Andrew Schott (113) AndrewBadera (80) Andy (7) Anthony G (12) AnthonyB415 (4) Anton T (8) Austin (12) Ben (19) Beth (5) Billy Adams (18) Brendon Walsh (4) Brian (131) brian collette (15) Chantal (25) Chet Nichols III (2) Chris.

Silicon Alley Insider offers to buy NYTimes.com (15)
on Silicon Alley Insider (545) permalinkAt its charming new stock price of $12, the New York Times Company (NYT) has an enterprise value of about $2.85 billion. As BusinessWeek's Jay Yarow notes, after you back out all the non-core stuff, that means that the New York Times itself--the paper and the digital assets--is valued at about $750 million. That's less than half of what CBS just paid for CNET.

They haven't gotten over Jobs's overly thin appearance at WWDC in June. "Apple's hedge-fund investors are very worried," a Wall Street source tells the New York Post. In the weeks following WWDC, Apple told reporters Jobs looked so ill because of antibiotic treatments for a cold. But Jobs's ...Contribute comment

on Silicon Alley Insider (545) permalinkRemember all those $900-$1000 Google (GOOG) price targets analysts were throwing around last year, when Google blasted through $700? Well, those were just typical Wall Street price targets: "Stock going up? Add 20%-30% to current price, fiddle with Excel model to develop required assumptions, publish." (See "Mary Meeker's YouTube Math") Those kinds of price targets work well as long as nothing changes--as long as the company keeps beating expectations, the market stays strong, the economy ...Contribute comment
