More information on the Nintendo NX has been leaked

Interesting, but not necessarily appealing. That’s a description you could use for just about every piece of Nintendo hardware that’s been released in the last decade, and it looks like the Nintendo NX won’t be any different. At least, that’s what I can gather from a recent report from Eurogamer, which claims that Nintendo’s next… Continue reading More information on the Nintendo NX has been leaked

Why is Line listed on both an American and Japanese stock market?

Line hasn’t found much success here in the West, which is why it might seem odd that the company decided to list itself on the New York Stock Exchange before listing itself on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Alphabet might be cutting back on some of Google’s projects

As an independent company, Google started tons experimental projects in search of the next big thing, and as Google’s new parent company, Alphabet has inherited most of those projects. Unfortunately, those projects aren’t cheap, which has always been a source of concern for Google’s investors, and has now caused Alphabet to miss Wall Street’s quarterly profit targets.
